The loss is due chiefly to damage from water seeping through the floors and ceilings. Superintendent Cat breath thinks the damage can be re paired tor $2,500, though it may cost $5 000. Owing to the fact that th patients at the asylmtt are given weekly fir drill, they were quickly marched ont ot the boilding and were at no tlm In any danger. On attendant, G. V.

These wards are occupied by new patients and by patients who are convalescing. Tbe patients had been out in the yard exer cising, and bad just marched in to pre pare for the noon meat when the auto matic alarm gave warning ot a fire in the attic. The patients, numbering about 120 in the three wards in this tier, were quickly marched out, and tbe fir companies hurriedly stretched boee. Eleven convicts who were excavating In the basement hastened to assist, and rendered service In handling the line of hose op on the roof, a task both la borious and dangerous, for tb men bad to work at times on coping In order to drag the hose around coiners. In few minutes alter tbe alarm was sound' ed six lines of bos nnder 100 pounds pressure were playing on tbe fire, and soon the Salem fire department arrived and tamed on two streams more. The patient were entirely calm and showed no excitement whatever. Those patient who were in tbe wards distant from tbe part ot tbe boilding In which the fire originated were not taken out of the boilding, but were kept In readi ness to go out at any time. The asylum has its own water sys tem, receiving its water from wells at the prison, a quarter of a mile distant. Tbe state carries no insurance on the boilding. BYERLY MAKES PROFIT.
