Pcktiac. M ch. Dec. 8. Fit wm dis
covered in the nOrlh wing of the Ets'.
rn Michigan insane asylum at 11 o'clock
Saturday morning. The tiamea spread
with fearful rapidity, and with the lim
ited facilities at hand the firemen were
powerless. Fifteen minutes after the
first alarm was sounded the occupants
of the wing, 500 women, were turned
loose. Screaming frantically with ter
ror, the maniacs surged through the
corridors, where the air was already
filled with smoke. The flames were
visible through it all, and the sight
filled the demented creatures with ter
ror. Some
BAN LIKE WILD ANIMALS,
trampling upon their slower compan
ions, in their mad effort to escape.
Others were paralyzed with fear and
stood rooted to the spot, with eyes star
ing horribly inco the roaring fire. The
attendants peiformed deeds of heroism
in the endeavor to resue the helpless.
Rushing hither and thither, dragging
the hesitating ones from the rooms, they
drove the insane women into the open
air. When some were once outside they
would break away end rush for the
building again.
ALL PROBABLY SAVD.
Superintendent Burr and his assist
ants on the medical staff gave direc
tions for the removal of the inmates and
by their excellent aad valiant labors all,
it is believed, were rescued alive. Never
theless some say that several women
were seen at the windows after the
patients were supposed to be all out.
They had torn every vestige of clothing
from their persons and were laughing
in hideous glee at the approach of the
flames. By 11:30 the entire north wing
was wrapped in flames. The attendants
had done oil in their power and noth
ing was left but to try to save the rest
of the asylum from the flames. The
spectators declare they heard shrieks of
anguish from the awful pyre, as of de
mented victims yielding their lives to
the flames, but in the confusion it was
impossible to distinguish the screams of
the frightened maniacs without from
the expiring outcries of the victims
within, if any there were. Strenuous
efforts were made to convey the patients
to cottages for safe keeping. This was
accomplished with the utmost difficulty.
There was great fear felt lest the fire
should make across to the south wing,
where nearly 700 men were confined.
Preparations were immediately made to
remove the men if ' e;0aiv.
Inside the eou.ii wing, from the moment
the flames came in sight, the wildest ex
citent prevailed. The 700 crazy men
tore about their rooms,
yelli.no like demons.
Hundreds of people from Pontine und
vicinity joined in the fight with the
flames at this judcture and by a most
stubborn resistance the wing was saved.
Aside from this, everything save the
chapel, hospital and engine house was
destroyed. A number of the women
who were in the section of the building
first destroyed were severely burned in
being removed, but prompt attention
averted any serious consequences.
HABBOW ESCAPE OF BRAVE MEN.
James Lyon, Fred K. Linton and an
other attendant, whose name could not
bj learned, bad a narrow escape' while
fighting the flames on the fourth floor.
Unknown to them the fire surrounded
tne spot at which the men were work
ing, and only when they found every
avenue of escape except one small win
dow closed did they think af their
safety. When the flanes were nearing
them a long ladder was secured and the
men were rescured just us they were on
the point of falling back into the raging
furnace. A number of other narrow
escapes occurred and but few of the
attendants escaped without severe
burns or other injuries.
LOSS HALF A MILLION.
it is difficult to obtain accurate fig
ures on Um loss. One of the board of
trustees of the asylum estimates it at
not less than 500,000. The patients
must, for several days at least, suffer
great hardship. '1 he kitchen is among
the destroyed buildings, and some time
must elapse before the culinary depart
ment can be re-established and the
luMtics properly fed.
Burned to Death.
Albaxy, N. Y., Dee, 28. Mrs. Annie
Kellie, a widow aged forty-five, was
burned to death Saturday morinng in
her grocery store. A kerosene lamp
that was standing on a barrel in the
store exploded, and egress was cut off
by the flames. She was suffocated and
burned before assistance could
arrive. The woman weighed 280
pounds and it is supposed that
she could not get the bars removed from
the door in time to escape.

rht. was tie scene of nVgl.tful panic,
in which, according to the report re
ceived here, at leuBt ten persons, in
cluding nine children, were killed out
right, and many were injured. The
sight of the slight blaze, cauaJ by a
man in the aulienee dropping a lighted
match on the sawdust covering the fljor
caused some one to start the cry of tire,
and a terrible panic at once ensued.
There was immediately a wild rush for
the doors, which, oaiug to the savage
crush and struggle, quickly 'became so
blocked that only a fe succeeded in at
once gttting out. There was a specially
violent ruh for the staircase leading
from the gaiiery. The pas a giving
access to Hub staircase becaaie blocked
ttlruHt at once with persona who were
striving their utmost to eecai, while
the staircase itself was tilled with a
etiuggling mass of humanity from the
tup landing a'.l the way to te outlet.

of his heroic efforts to save others' lives.
In trying to retain the crowd in its mad
behavior he was thrown to the floor and
crushed to death beneatl: Hie feet of
the panic 6tricken people.
When the panic had subsided bo that
an examination of the premises could be
made the bodies of nine children, whose
lives had been literally crushed aut,
were found lying on the staircase, or
tear a doer lead iug to it.
WKDliKl) IN IUE bTRUCOIJSO MASS.
A constable ,vho c line to assist in the
work of rescuse on draggiug out a boy
who was wedge 1 among the struggling
people discovered that the lad was his
own son. The boy although living when
rescused was terribly injured and died
on his way hemp.
The performance which was so terri
bly interrupted was the second one of
Saturday, the attraction being the pan
tonine "Aladdin." The theater was
literal')' crammed with people. At 10:30
o'clock the shout of tire creatad a fear
ful scene. The whole audience lose to
their feet euniasse, and there was dire
con'usion in the midst of which were
heard the shrieks of women, many of
whom fainted. The lessee of the house
hen displayed the most creditaole
presence of mind. Stepping on the
s:a'e he shouted to the audience be
seeching them to remain seated and
solemnly assuring them that there was
no real danger if they would do so. At
ohis juncture many others of the men
present also showed that they retained
presence of mind by forcibly striving to
restrain the mad rush of the crowd for
ihedoorp, but their brave efjforjs. yrj.ed
f no avail. . - - ' j
The occupants of the pit and the
I eel u to,":) whoe seats were in the bet-,-rV
part of the house succeeded in escap
ing safely to the streets.
It was a sudden bnd in the gallery
taircase which caused the fearful jam
n that exit. People who had fallen
md wore lying in heaps there screaming
md groaning were trampled upon. At
ast su many tf the strurgling people
md f.illen that all passage for exit was
ffeu'ually blocked by a mass of writhing
in man beings aud those still remaining
ja their seat were forced t3 seek other
uea ns of escape.
ACTS OP HEROISM.
'1 he occasion was made doubly mem
jr&ble by several acts of heroism. One
nun who had occupied a gallery seat
jumped from the gallery railings to the
onlcony below and slid thence to the
.stage, all the time holding to a child by
his teeth. Oilier men rescued some
.vonien by sinrlar means.
Meanwhile the tire was easily
jiienched. The police sought medical
aid and assisted in extracting the vic
tims from the staircase a matter of
the utmost difficulty. One child, after
calling out piteously, "Save me, save,"
died before it could be reached. The
corpses were laid in adjoining buildings,
and the injured were taken to hospitals
and other institutions.
The news of the catastrophe spread
rapidly and soon throngs of people were
rushing to the scene to ascertain the
fate of friends an 1 relatives.
NAMES OP THE DEAD.
Within a few h-mrs, eleven of the
dead were identified. All were between
the ages of 13 and 1G. The names were:
Casely, Robinson, Gieggs, Oarlen. Wat

The (imves Trial.
Denvkr, Colo., Jan. 2.- Judga Fur
man began his address Thursday morn
ing in the Graves tr d, maintaining that
the state bad made out a weak case. He
continued hie speech to the jury in the
afternoon, and concluded at G o'clock in
the evening. He spent a large portion
of bis time in discussing the law and
protesting against the ridicule and
abuse of counsel for the state. He did
not attempt to justify the Contradictory
story of Dr. Graves told on the stand.
He said he did not have to do to. The
only burden resting upon him was to
show the guilt of the defendent. The
statf was obliged to subvert the pre
sumption of innocense. Me endeavored
to influence the sympathy of the jury,
quoting extensively rom the bible. All
his illustrations were drawn lrom scrit
ure. He pictured awful mistakes that
had arisen from convicting a man on
circumstantial evidence. It was true,
the state had brought witnesses from
various states and the question was
asked how they could manufacture the
circumstances that Tit so nicely. It was
done, he said, through the Pinkertonp.
He spent more time showing the falle
cies of the evidence of Mrs. Mickey and
other witnesess. Mr. Stevens will con
clude for the state Saturday and then
the jury A'iil decide the fats of Dr.
Graves.

The (.rave. Trial.
Dkm-er, Dec. UO.-ln the Ilamah)
trial Dr. Graves wus called to the Bland
and his cross-examination was resumed
by Stevens. The doctor thought he was
in Denver after his brother's death two
or three days. He did not meet Judge
Furman while there. Mrs. Barnaby
was a kind woman, but not easily influ
enced. Dr. Graves admitted, when shown
certain letters, that what he had told
his wife about people from the Adiron
dacks talking about Mrs. liarnaby v. as
false. He denied having told Mrs. Mick
ey that if Mrs. Barnaby took her money
out of his hands he would have her sent
to an asylum. Several other points
about his dealings as agent for Mrs
Barnaby he could not remember at all.
The defense saused some surprise by
introducing Daniel Smith as a witness
He was the hostler w ho cared for Wor
d's buggy the night it contained the
bottle of whisky. Smith pre
viously appeared a witness for
the prosecution ui.d swore Hurt he
had not tampered with the package con
taming the bottle while ii was in t,e
very stable. Apparently contrary to
tho expectations of the defend, he reit
erated that statement. The defense in-
roduced three witnesses to impeach his
""".,uu, did not succeed to
?reat extent.
