Jackson.-Great excitement prevailed
in the city early today, when the State
Insane Hospital, in the far northern out
skirts of the city, was in flames. 1t
appears from in vestigation that, in
some way unexplained, a fire had broken
out in one of the upper stories OF the
negro female ward, attention being first
attracted to the volume of flame and
black smoke issuing from the building.
With admirable presence of mind the
entire hospital staff, headed by DIR. Nolan
Stewart, surgeon-in-chief, DIR. W. NJ.
Merritt, assistant surgeon, with Stew
ard Downing Immediately got busy with
the removal of the two hundred-odd
patients to realms of safety. This was
accomplished without accident or cas-
ualty, and by the time the fire depart
ment reached the grounds they found
a clear field for action. The fire was
confined to the building in which it orig
mated, and while the structure Is com
paratively old, dating back to 1891, TN

No Election Tragedies.

= Jackson.-One of the pleasant but UNI
expected features of Mississippis pri-
mary election is the fact that not o
single tragedy occurred in any section
Of the state. The absence of killings
and casualties has been the subject OF
much comment, especially in view of the
very intense fractional feeling that had
been manifested for several months. In
some communities factionalism was 50
intense that it had caused arrangements
in families.
