persons of prominence throughout the

remarkable rapidity that most Of the
occupants were forced to make their
escape by way of the fire escapes.
Many jumped to save their lives and
received more or less serious in

A dozen persons were injured, suf-
fering broken limbs and bruises and
one person is missing.

Attendance at the Inter

One of Unusual Irnpor-
lance to the City.

The Pensacola sanitarium opened
Its doors to the public yesterday, the
entire day having been given over to
a general reception of those who
wished TO visit and inspect the re-
markedly meritorious new hospital.
Between Sea and 1000 persons were
slown about the building by the mem-
bers of the staff, assisted by number
of the ladies of the city, together
with an attractive bevy of local deb
utaHtes.
The Pensacola Sanitariusn, in fact,
stands as a fun and most satisfactory
fruition of dreams and plans which
were at first attended with difficulties
appearing we'll nigh insuTmOuntable,
and is a credit to the local push and
enterprise which has made the iusti-
tuition possible. The new hospital OPP
cred for business yesterday with a
number of patients already installed.
The OLD st. Anthony's hospital has of
course, been absorbed by the new
concern.

The Pensacola Sanitarium opens its
doors with a capacity of 20 beds;
there are both ward beds and private
rooms, in order to meet the varying
classes of patronage.
