missing after the fire, has shown up all right. His name is George Underwood and on Saturday he reported to the hospital authorities and explained that he had simply gone home after the blaze as he knew of no other place to go.
 A number of builders who looked at the burned building Saturday were unanimously of the opinion that the damage done had amounted to no more than $15,OO0. Only the servants guar ters on the top or fourth floor and the roof were burned. Of course great deal of damage was done below by water
 Fire Marshal Gladwin went thor oughly over the building with Miss Albaugh. the head nurse, and others in authority at the hospital and after wards gave out the statement that he could not positively say what 1t had been that caused the fire. Indeed he was quite sure that it would never be known with certainty.
 Superintendent of Fire Alarms James Grant made three careful inspections of the wiring at the hospital Satur- day, after which he stated positively that the fire could not have come as he had found none of the fuses burned out and none of the insulation had been worn off. The only places where the insulation was not in first-class condition was where it had been char red by the fire itself.
 Besides the damage done to the building itself there is the damage done to the furnishings that must be counted in. The operation room, a costly room to replace, contained an X-ray machine that was valued at S1000 It was total loss. Many of the operating instruments were saved luckily by the forethought of the nur- ses who carried them out.
 Work of the Students.
 Saturday the students of the Yale Divinity school who take Prof Will | . philanthropy. went out to the hospital and asked permission tp work cleaning up the place. which was readily grant ed them. They set to work with show els and brooms and did some very ef- fectual work. Added to the help given school who were on the spot at the time of the fire and helped in the re- moval of the patients in every possi- ble way, this new evidence of the in. terest the students have in city mat ters has been very favorably com. mented upon.
 Naturally there were many whc took the walk out Chapel street yes. | terday expressly to see the scene o' the exciting fire of Friday. There was a big crowd of sightseers on hand al the time. even the storm not keeping them all away.
 | The fact develops now that. though | the hospital was very well covered by insurance, still it will be financially embarrassed by the fire. Many of the l
 employees will feel the results of the fire too. Many of them lost their wages which they had been saving and which they had stored away in their trunks Florence Franklin, colored maid. los' her trunk in the fire. Besides hel clothing sl3 was burned up. Part oi the money belonged to the Altar so' ciety of St. Luke's F. F. church 1T Whalley avenue, of which she was tho treasurer. Mrs. Curtis, the cook a the hospital, found her trunk in thu debris yesterday and she was made happy when she recovered sl0O packed away in 1t.
 Other employees searched the debris yesterday for their trunks, but they | were in ashes.
