THE DEAD AND INJURED.
Four Bodies Have Been Taken from the
Ruins of the Hospital ®t. Vincent de
Pusul, Which Was Completely Con®
sumed by Fire There Arve Others Miss
tug— Firemen und Nurses Injured.
Norfolk, Va., (Special) The ruins of the
Hospital of St. Vincent de Paul have yielded
up four bodies to the firemen’s search,
The dead are: Mrs, Margaret McEwen,
seventy years of age, a lady of wenk mind,
who was thera for safekeeping. The only
way she could be 1dentifled was by ber enr-
rings, the body belng so badly burved.
Mrs. Elizabsth White, an old lady who
had been at the hospital for a long time As
a boarder. She was on the fourth floor, and
the body bad fallen through to the third.
She was identified Ly the structure of her
body.
Cherry Boswell, a three-year-old ohiid,
from Lewiston, N. C., who had a ciublfoot,
and was there for treatment,
Miss Pippen, of North Carolina, who bad
just entered the hospital, and was to have
been operated upon. The body was found
fo the ruins of the bed in which she siept.
Miss Tippen was from Tarboro, N. CO.
Fireman Thomas A. Barret, of the Quren
Street Englnehouse, leg broken, right arm
fractured in three piaces, and cut on fore.
head. He is still alive, but bas not regaled
consciousness, and but little hope of his re-
covery is entertained,
Fireman Robert A. Foster, driver,
about the head, but not seriously.
Barrett, Foster and several other firemen
had run a line of hose through the malo en-
trance of the building, aud were driven out
either by the fire and smoke or by premoni-
tion of an impending dolinpse above them.
Had they remained in the porch they would
not havebeea Iojured; but, as they went down
foto the yard, a mass of timber, brick wall,
ete., pitched out and down from above
them,
Miss Kate Dolan, of Washington, D. C.,
one of the nurses of the institution, jumped
the stairwell from the third story to the
first, landing in a sitting posture at the {eet
of Sister Bsroard, the sister superior, who
happened at that point just at that moment,
She was hurt about the neck, hands and
back, and is considerably injured,
Miss Teresa Glass, of Richmond, Va., also
a nurse, Is badly turned about one band and
foot, and slightly about the face, Bhe was
carried to a residence on Wood street.
The property loss Is very large, and the
{psurance is comparatively small. The
former will reach the neighborhood of $200,-
000, and the latter is only some thirty or
forty thousand dollars. There were very
macy narrow escapes from death asd many
heroic rescues by the firemen, who, despite
the fact that they were exhausted by the
large fire just precedicg the hospital bolo-
caust, worked to save human life as though
their own was at stake, Besides, they were
still further hasdicapped by the absence of
the eighty-foot extension ladder.
The firemen from Portsmouth and the
navy yard apparatus, manned bLy marines,
rendered valuable assistance, They re-
sponded as quickly as called upon by Chief
Ryan, of Norfolk. The fight against ibe
devouring element was a long one, but the
porth wing and a portion of the west wing
were saved, The remsiner of the immense
{nstitation of merey lies in ruins, As soon
as the ruins bad ceased blazing, the search
for the bodies of the vietims begap. Ambu-
jances had been sent to every house that had
offered asylum to the inmates of the hospital
for information, and still the list of missiog
was large. The authorities of the hospital
declined to make the names pubilo until
they wore accounted for in some manner.
The firemen discovered Mrs, McEwen's
body at the window of what bad been her
room on the flourth floor. All the bodies
discovered were on the upper floors, and
the positions in which they were found in-
dicated that the victims had made every
effort to escape. They were all charred to
crisps.
