A most horrlfing flro ocourrod this morning nt 2 o'clock at tho state insane asy lum, when ono of tho cottages was coin. plotoly gutted nnd caused tlio lofcu of tho lives of 17 women inmates. The cottago had stone and granlto walls with wooden intorlors, and in tended for laundiy purpo&cs. Owing to tho crowded condition of tho main building, 40 of tho female patients woro placed hero with tho laundry in tho basement. Tho flro originated in tho diyroom of tho laundry. Here thoro was n coil of steam pipes, aud tho theory is that either lino particles simi lar to lint settled on tho pipes mid Ig nited, or that clotlida winch woro thickly bung close by dropped on to tho pipes and woro flred. Tho lighting ol tho flro was greatly hindored by tho loss of power. Tho only source of wator was an artesian well, 400 feet distant, tho pipes for pumping which ran through tho cot tage. The intonso heat Boon causoJ tho pipes to burst, thus leaviug tho flro men without power, and dependent en tirely upon the diroot prensuiofroin tho tank. 13ut two streams of water could bo thrown on tho building, and those did but littlo good. Fifty-two persons wero in tbo build ing, 40 patients nnd 13 attendants. Tho structure was threo stories and an attio high, nnd had two entrances. Thoro was ono stftirway from the sec ond and third floors, which led into tho main hall, thus giving but ono egress for thoso a novo tho fust floor. Patients and attendants fled with ter ror, great confusion resulting, especially among thoso on tho uppor floors. Many heartrending scenes wero enacted ns tho inmates, clad only in their night clothes and barefooted, rushed down tho narrow flight of stairs, and finally out into tho snow. Tho temperature was 23 degrees below zoro, and further loss of life from frcozing was prevented nlono by prompt work of the attend ants from tbo main buildings. Tho at tendants escaped, as did tbo others, who woio saved, with nono of thoir personal effects, many losing all thoy possessed. Portions of chaired re mains can bo seen in tlio debris at the bottom of the baeeraont. The four walla of stone still stand, black and grim, and will mako tho woik of re moval dangorous, ns n total collapse is liablo to occur without a moraont e. wajning.
