Burning of the Pennsylvania Insane
Asylum.
Special Dispatch to ihc lieu.
DANVILLE , Pa. , March 7 10 p. m.
The fire at the insane asylum Is uff-
dor control , although the Molten
steamer is still playing , and the fire is
confined to the bmhlicg , which is a
total wreck. After the inmates had
boon removed they were phced in
temporary quarters in outbuildings ,
aud tha male inmates were transferred
to the west wing , which eacapod with
alight damage. The female inmates
will be provided for at another Institu
tion. Arrangements have been made
to-dy by Superintendent Sohullz f r
the roraoyal of one hundred to the asy
lum at Warren , P . Jntjl the removal
they will be quartered iu the wash
house and bakery , where they are now
in charga of keepers. The first report
sent out that a number of inmates nad
perished , was oronoous. All the in
mates are nnpr accounted for. Their
removal from the burning building
was accomplished with great trouble.
When four hundred and fifty people ,
among whom were a large number of
uucontrolable maniacs , wera safely
removed , it seems almost miraculous ,
as tha building had many long dark
hallways throogh which the Inmates
were taken before reaching the open
air. The patients fought desperately
agjJnst removal from their w rdscon-
sldering it a great treat , and some of
the keepers were roughly handled.
The inmatca were finally removed by
main force. The fire originated In a
room in one cf the temale wards , and
was sjid to hava been caused by com
bustion from paint aud rags in an un
occupied room. The hospital was a
substantial stone structure , length ,
1106 feet ; cost of buildings destroyed
about 5600,000 ; Insurance , § 250,000 ;
distributed among a lare number of
companies. The fire was visited to
day by thousands of people.

licly read , and the expert testimony
began. William B. Hagen testified
that tha handwriting had evidently
been disguised. Witness explained
the resemblances which he had dis
covered between the exhibits submit
ted to him , and the note of wirning ,
and said there was no doubt in his
mind that they were written by one
and the sirao person. In answer to a
question of the judge-advocate , wit
ness said that the person who wrote
the letters nho wrote tha note of
warning. The same resemblances
occurred in a letter written by Whltta
