Hamilton, Out., Aug. 1. Trapped

sable prison of the upper floors of tha
Hamilton Insane asylum twelve in
sane Inmates of the institution
were burnrd to death early this morn
ing when the place was almost totally
destroyeiNby fire, the origin of which
has not been determined by the au
thorities. Eight bodies were recovered.
, IllllUltOH Fight KcsiCUCTB.
Desperately fighting, as only ma
niacs can when thoroughly excited,
horrible scenes were enacted when
they repulsed physicians, guards,
nurses and firemen who were heroic
ally attempting to rescue them. It
was necessary to beat many of them
Into unconsciousness and then drag
them to the windows and throw
them into life nets which were held
below.
Many Daring Itixnie.
Many daring rescue were effected
Jy the authorities and firemen. The
piace was s situated that the fire
department could not reach it with
any of the fire f :b1iIIiik apparatus. In
fact the place Is most Inaccessible by
any method of approach and the fire
department had to stand at the foot
of the li il while the building was
razed to the ground by the flames.
The firemen took part in the rescue
wuik, but no water could be gotten
to the burning place. More than six
hundred inmates were in the building
when the fire broke out and it Is con
sidered miraculous that the death list
Is not many times as great as It Is.
Dangerous Inmates Die.
Most of tlie fatal. ties occurred on
the fifth floor, where the dangerous
inmates were confined. Fighting as
hard as they could, these maniacs ran
through the flames shrieking like de
mons until their lives were snuffed out
enacting scenes too horrible for description.
