nine Blind PERSONS IN
THE COUNTY ALMSHOUSE
Annual Report of Supervising Nurse
Shows Pitiable Conditions Among
Patients-The Stork Made Three
Visits There During the Year

The really pitiable conditions of
County Almshouse, the number of per-
sons suffering from disease and de-
seriptions of helpless patients are re-
ferred to in the annual report of Miss
Eva Davidson, the supervising nurse at
the Home, which was filed with the
Dauphin County Directors of the Poor
this morning.
Three births occurred at the home
during the year. The total number of
hospital inmates was 246, of which 1S1
were adult males and SO adult females.
Nine were children.
Among the inmates are four who are
entirely blind, while five others are al
most blind. Twelve are epileptic. OF
these six suffer such severe attacks and
of such frequency that it is necessary
TO give them constant treatment. One
+ inmate is entirely helpless from pa
ralysis, while three others are practical
| ly unable to aid themselves.
Owing to the diptheria quarantine
there has been cessation of syphiletics
that usually are sent INTO the hospital
. department for treatment, bat there are
! still twelve who are now receiving
treatment for synthetic conditions,
which cases are not now menace to
the public Indigents treated for social
diseases through the work of the Direc-
tors of the poor since July /, number
II.
Minor operations of various char
acters have been conducted upon % pa
tients. No deaths have resulted thus
far from either treatments or opera
tions.
Ten of the inmates are receiving
treatment for acute rheumatism There
are eleven tubercular patients in the
special ward provided for that class of
eases
During 1914 there were forty-fve
deaths. Fourteen of these were tuber.
cular eases. Six of the dead were over
eighty years old, while eight were over
seventy OF the inmates in the insti.
tuition, twelve are over eighty years
and thirty-two are over seventy.

of careful revision of the exemption,

of the Nuss Manufacturing Company S
plant, from the Mulberry street bridge,
from the roof of the blacksmith shop,
where five Shamrock firemen barely es-
caped with their lives, and from the
hill Immediately behind the garage at
the rear of Sylvan Terrace.
Many Small Explosions
BY the time the firetighters were
placed and streams IN, small explosions
were occurring on the second floor,
which was used for cleaning and re-
pairipg ears most of the cars having
some gasoline in the tanks. One after
another small explosions occurred,
sending the burning liquid into the air
ON all sides There seemed to be about
ten small explosions, each one increas-
inc the volume of the fire, which was
sending long tongues OF flame from
every window on the second and thlrd
floors of the building.
The roof seemed to weaken ana the
upper floors to wobble and with scarce
ly a warning crack crumble and sank
into the first floor of the building.
Bricks were hurled in every direction
and a number of firemen had narrow
escapes from these missiles. Fire Chief
Kinder was standing at corner OF
the building when the walls started TO
tumble and he had to flee for safety.
Flames shot fully 400 feet in the
air and thousands who had crowded the
Mulberry street bridge and the yards
at the rear of Sylvan Terrace homes
had to get back to keep from being
scoTched. The wall to the south crumb
led into heap and did no damage to
the Nuss plant, but the north wall fell
outward a trihe and crushed the ROOT
of the blacksmith shop like an egg
she'll. Several wagons were crushed un
der the roof of the shop.
At the rear of this building was q
sprinkler wagon belonging to the City
Highway Department. The roof imme
| diately over the sprinkler did not &C
down and it is believed that this vehicle
was saved.
Under Control at O'Clock
| The falling of the building made the
work of the firemen comparatively
easy thereafter and from the surround
ing roofs and the bridge they coulo
! play streams into the ruins, although
danger of explosions remained. At
! o clock the flames were under contro
of the district apparatus and one com
pany after another, which had beer
called by telephone or the genera
alarm, were sent home.
F'iremen then dragged away enough
wreckage from the southwest corner o
the building to permit the entrance o
streams into the first floor in an effor
to stop any flames that might reach ;
big gasoline tank buried under tn
debris.
