Firemen Unable te Fight the Flames Or
Indue the Maniacs te Escape-Latest
l)eUIU of the Terrible Disaster.
The tongue Petate lunatic asylum, ten
miles from Montreal, Canada, waa de
streyedby fire en Tuesday, and about 60
of -the inmates are belleyed te have
perished In the flames. The asylum was
under the charge of the Sisters of Provi
dence, and several of the sisters lest their
lives In trying te save the patients. The
asylum waa feunded In 1873, and the
amount spent In organizing the Institution
waa 91,131242, of which the buildings cost
$700,000. The arrangements ler the pre
vention and check of ilre appear te have
been very defective.
There were Incarcerated in Ijongue
Felate 1,500 lunatics, for that asylum was
a prison mere thnn a hospital, and net mero
than 1,100 are accounted for. But many
escaped Inte the fields and weeds, and the
dead are ashes amongst ashes. What the
number efthe dead is is purely a matter
of conjecture and can never be ascertained,
since no ether record Is kept thnn that In
the asylum books, and they are also de
stroyed. Ever slnce Quobeo was a province Its
management of these most helpless of all
creatures has been Its shame. They have
been Ihrtned out te the nuns at f 100 a head
per year, and the sisters' aim was te keep
thorn as frugally ns possible and with the
least posMble outlay for permanent works
or repairs. White their most urgent bodily
wants were supplied, no attempt was made
at systematic medical troatment. By a
curious coincidence the only Pretestant In
sane asylum In the province was Inaugur
ated en Tuesday by Us new superintend
cut. Hlthorte patients of all denominations
were crowded together,and the Protestants,
by persistent personal solicitation, raised
enough money te found an Institution of
their own, in which their own patients are
being cared for. Fer years the government
has been urged te redeem Its treatment of
the Insane, and Inst summer the Mether
Superior, with a body guard, was sent
abroad te ascertain If anything could be
learned from similar Institutions in Kurope.
At 5 minutes or 12 a telegraph message
was reoel ved lu Montreal, say Ing the asy lu m
was en tire and Imploring assistance
This could net be given without first con
sulting Mayer Qrenler, who was found at
the Banque du Peuple, and he at onee
ordered engines te be dispatched. One
engine und two reels started en their lou leu
mile run, and were quickly en the snot,
but they might as well have remained at
home, for lu flve minutes they exhausted
the water supply. The only lliliiur that
could save the buildimr was the St, Law
nun
rence river, and It was half a mite distant.
The llre originated in a cupboard, and
was the work of a patient. The building
was constructed of brick, and was COO feet
long, running back from the river half the
distance. The main building eccupied tlie
centre, and en inch side extended four
wings, six stories in height. Te the east
wero the men's wards and te the west the
wemen's, milking 00 In all. In the rear
were the ongine I) oil se and the laundry and
the stere rooms, all of which wero saved.
The flre started en the wemen's Bide, en
the upper story, and. as the vonlilallen was
carried en by a longitudinal shaft connected
with the towers, the flames appeared blaz
ing up through the reef In the centre tower.
When a reporter arrived with the flro flre
men. the demn of the tower had just fallen,
and flames were bursting out overy where.
Streams of water were brought te hear en
the flames, and while they lasted seme
geed was done, but that was for a very
brief space, and tlien the horror of the
situation was revealed.
As the heat increased statues fell from
nlches te the ground, Moamvhile the beds,
furniture and iitenstls of overy description
were being shnwored from the windows,
and a stream of ili-cUd moil peured out of
the eastern wing.
Net a male patient was lest. Among the
wemen it wns different. The less hopeless
cases were placed in the lower wards, and
they were removed without dllliculty, but
from the upper wards, where the violent
patients were secured, there caine the
wildest screams as they resisted the nuns
who were beseeching them te make their
escape. At tbe windows it nmniae would
be seen poerlng through the bars, grinning
and jabbering at the bright flame that went
up te the sky.
As the beat became mero Intense she
would graspthebars and remain thore until
the tlames enveleped her. The inhabitants
had ceme from all parts, attracted by the
blaze, and In an hour the little village was
one surging mass of vociferating peeple,
recounting the strange scenes they had be
held. When the flromen found they wero
pew erless te save the building they tnrned
their attention te the inmates, and burst In
the doers with axes.
Inside, Chief lteneit says, it was such a
sight as no fireman ever witnessed. In
eue ward that he entered were 25 patients,
and at his approach they huddled together
like a pack of beasts, entwining their arms
Inte one mass of humanity, lie seized
tbe nearest, but, said the chief: "I could
no mere separate the crowd than I could
parts of you rhorse." He tugged nt them
until the flre darted into their garments
and enfolded them llke a shroud of llaine
and then he escaped with his life. In
another ward three firemen were nearly
trapped te death. They entered, and the
deer, which had a spring lock, closed be
hind them. As is customary, thore was
110 handle en the Inside. The iloer re.
slsted their axes, and they rushed te the
windows, but wero driven back by the
flames. The chief, suspecting their peril,
eentald te tLe otlier side, and the men
were carried down en ladders.
The engineer of the building did geed
work in saving nlne p.itlents, and overy
fireman made it record or which he may
feel proud. On the flrst alarm the engineer
turned en the hese, but it was utterly use
less. us the flre leaped along the ventilating
shaft te the towers and burned In a dezeu
places at once.
And here a melancholy event occurred.
One of the tertiary nuns, 8ur Marie, lay
tick In the Infirmary, en tun filth fleer,
and te her rescue catne three ethers. They
seised their companion and bore her in a
blanket te the staircase, but they were met
bv a sheet of flame and all perished. Let
their names be recorded : Saurs Marie,
Demerlse, Gilbert and Luinlene. None or
them was ever 20 years or age, and all catne
from parishes below Quebec.
The sisters worked with the persistence
of heroines, by turns Imploring, beseech
ing and commanding the patients, and
finally saving a very large number, in
view of the Inadequate facilities at hand.
Sister Therese, the superieress. Is broken
hearted, and being at present in ill health,
her name may be added te the already
long list of let I ins. Doctors liourque ami
Baralet were carried from the building un
conscious, and whatever can be said or the
management as a whole, individuals exer
cised every power te lessen the calamity
they neglected te avert.
A loud explosion was followed by a crash
of beams. The Interior was giving way.
Wild faces sank from the windows and the
shrieks of maniacs were lest in the general
uproar. One by one the walls toppled In
ward and a flercebla70linrht up Irein thu

and sliet Its glare evor the St. Lawrence te

debris, under which are new, net the

By this time It was 0 o'clock, and grow
ing dark and very cold. The spring rains
l.ed converted the place Inte a quagmire,
and only horsemen could get from place te
place. The peer Sisters, most of them
young and delicate, steed ankle deep lu
uiud, securing and superintending the re
moval of such furniture as had been saved.
Patients waudered about aimlessly, clad In
scant garments, many of them veritable
Ophelias in their fantastic dress. When

A sew dreed he cerae upon the Inhabi

lunatics, and they will count themselves
fortunate if they are net visited by a aerlea
of snob crimes aa only madmen can devise.
The Hen. Premier Mercler baa placed
the Montreal exhibition buildings at the
disposal of the nuns, and the buildings will
be stocked with previsions.
The strangest wonder came ever the fire
men that such an absence of lira-fighting
facilities renld exist. Although appliances
were then they were utterly. useless. The
Institution bad excellent engine, ten geed
pumps and new boilers, but no connection
existed between the pumps and boilers.
The St, Jean de Dien asylum, commonly
called "Longue Pelnte," wss founded in
1873. The government, being desirous of
closing the at, Jean de Bevllle asylum, re
lieving the Beauport asylum at Quebec,
which was overcrowded, came te aa under
standing with the Sisters or Providence,
with the view ofesUbllshing an asylum for
Idiots and for Insane. The sisters spent In
founding and erganlrlng this Institution
$1,132,212, of which 1700.000 was spent en
the buildings. The building was Insured
by the government for $300,000.
The Sisterhood or Providence, who
owned the building and under whose
management the institution has always
been, Is the lsrgest or the many large
Canadian religious communities, although
only established fifty years age. Its founder
waa Madame Oaineiln, the widow of a
wealthy Montreal merchant, who endowed
the new sisterhood. Unlversal sympathy
is felt for Sister Tberese, the energetic
Lady Superior or Longue Point asylum.
This lady's family name Is Tetu, and she
belongs te" the Quebec district. She was
seriously HI during the winter with Inflam
mation of the lungs and it was feared for
seme time that she was dying. During the
last month she was slowly recovering, but
Is still in a very weak state or health.
Sister Tlioreso's two principal assistants In
the management or the asylum were
Sisters Charles and Madeleine, the former
a sister of Dr. Geulet, or Jellette, and the
1 itter a sister or Dr. Des Jardines, or St.
Janvier.
With thn exception of the medical depart
ment consisting ordeotors, the Sisters re
tained complete control or all the depart
ments of t'te asylum, even the dispensing
of necessary medicines being done by
trained Sisters. The staff was compesodas
fellows : Sisters, 72 1 lay, 92. Total, 101, or
whom three were In the office, two In the
parlor and the ethers in the wards, kitchen
and working departments watching ever
the patients; lay keepers (female), 14;
keepers, 28 ; night guardians (male), four;
night guardians (female), two. Besides
these, two female keepers and four Sisters
and lay Sisters en an avorage kept watch
each rilgbt.
It Is feared that seven Teftlaran nuns
have been burned te death, as three mero
are missing.

The Scheel Directors Alse Ineronse the
Salary of the City Superintendent.
The directors of the Lancaster city school
district met in common council chamber
en Tuesday evening, te elect a city super
intendent for a term of three years.
There were prosent, Messrs. Bolenlus,
Breneman, Brinten, Brosey, Brown. Coch
ran, Darmstetter, Grlest, Judith. Jehnsen,
Kautz, Lichty, Llppeld. Marshall, McCem
sey, McElligett, MeKlllips, McMullen,
Pentz, Itathfen, Raub, Rellly, Reynolds,
Reland, Shirk, Stauller, Warfel, White,
Wlckershem, Winower, Wohlsen, Weir
and Dr. McCormick, president or the
beard. .
Mr. Cochran called the couvention
te erder, and Dr. Wickersliam was elected
president and Thes. F. McElligett secre
tary or the convention.
Mr. Cochran moved te proceed te the
election or a superintendent, and the mo
tion was adopted.
Mr. Marshall nominated Prof. R. K.
Buebrle, and the nominations wero closed
en motion of Mr. Reynolds.
The secretary called the roll and Prof.
Buebrle recelved the voles of all the mem
bers present except Messrs. Brinten, Rellly
and Dr. McCormick, who declined te vote.
The fixing of the salary was next In order.
Mr. Stautfer moved that the salary be
fixed at $2,000. He fixed that figure as a
sonseef duly towards a geed and faithful
servant and with that amount he did net
think the tax-payers would be dissatisfied.
Mr. Marshall seconded the motion.
Mr. Cochran moved te aniend by making
the salary $1,800, which he believed was a
fair compensation.
Dr. McCormick moved te amend the
movement by leaving the salary at tbe
same figure as new paid, $1,500. He offered
the amendment because he did net think
the financial condition of the beard war
ranted the increase
Mr. Brown, In an nrgument In favor of
making the salary $1,800, said tbe salaries
of the high school teachers since 1880, when
Prof. Buehrle came here, had been in
creased from 17 te 29 per cent, and in the
ether schools the avorage Incroase was 21
per cent. During all the time Prof.
Buehrle has been here his salary has net
been Increased. Since lftSO the salaries
or city superintendents throughout the
state had been Increased and he instanced
Allegheny City, from $1,800 te $2,200;
Allentown, from $800 te $1,500; Alteena,
from $1,000 te $1,200; Harrisburg, from
$1,300 te $1,800; Pottsville, from $1,000 te
$1,700, and Reading, from $1,200 te $2,000.
The proposed lncioase from $1,500 te $1,600
was a lower percentage than any or the
abeve named places. Anether reason
why there should be an increased salary
was that increased duties had been put ou
the superintendent slnce the adoption or
the free book system.
The amendment te make the salary $1,
600 was defeated by the following vete:
Kfj.MHwa T1a1av.Ii, T.a.lnt.1., Iti nan.. !...-

Mr. Cochran and it was adopted, with a

Again-Feature of the Concert The
Ctnbs and Their Patronesses,
One of these rare and brilliant audiences
Ailed the opera house last ovenlng te greet
the final and crowning concert or the new
famous Franklin and Marshall Glee and
Mandelin clubs. Much Interest had been
aroused, and the delight of the andlonce,
from the solemn notes of the Latin hymn
te the last strains of that beautiful glee,
"Geed Night, Beloved," proved hew fully
these expectations were realized. The musi
cal criterion or our inland city has ever
been high and hence the ovation that
awaited the clubs Is tlntr highest praise.
Their charming pregramme gives sixteen
selections, but ere they finished ever forty

" Geed Night, Beteved."
Perfect tlme and barmeuy was manirest
throughout. Thelr selections or cnllege
songs, Including "Our LIU le Pigs," "Catas
trophe," nnd the F. and M. modley have a
flavor and fervor that appealed directly te
the hearts or tlielr friends, whlle " Annle
Lisle" and "Arlen Waltz" showed hew
thoroughly they hed practiced. As given
in thelr ropertolro Mr. Irvine has nine
songs and these were exhausted In his ren
dering or "Eten Beating Seng" and the
" Lullaby and Warble," sang for the flrst
time. This especially may be doemod ene
or the gems or the evening. It seems as
though ene could never tire or listening te
his wenderful imitations of the bugle.ospe bugle.espe
clally in the "Bugle Seng" by the club.
During the ovenlng he was encored no
less than eleven times. His imitation or a
bugle Is simply wenderful. The aecem-
Sanlment or the club In the "Eten Beating
eng" and "Pullman Train" was very
fine. The ovation glven Mr. Irvlne was no
mero than he deserved. He has a very
pleasing volce alid certainly knows hew te
use It. It Is entirely by means or the per
slstent and nnver tiring efforts or Mr. Lr
vine that the Glee club Is what it Is.
The most beautiful glce or the ovenlng
waa " Annie Ltsle," rendered by the elub.
" Our Little Pigs," " Catastrophe," "Chest
nuts," "Sunday Scheel Scholar," "Rip
Rap Modley." "Thn Pepe," and last, but
net least, "F. fc M. Medley," called forth
much laughter and loud applause.
The werdlnir or that odd sons'. "The Jab-
borweck," was delightfully rendered by
Mr. Kersbner,whe responded with the con
tagious song, " Somebody is Laughing at
me," in which the club Indulged In such
hearty laughter that the audleuce joined In
for pure sympathy, Mr. Greenawald la nn
old faverite and his rendition or " Dat
Watermllllen" especially appreciated se
much that he responded thrlce.
Bnt what can be said or the Instrumental
parts T Or the applause that greeted the
violin soles or Mr. Hepkins and the flute
soles or Mr. Small I Mr. Eby and his-Man-delin
elub deaorve prnise, no less than the
Glee club. Their music was well rendered
and well received.
The sconle decorations wero truly college
Evorywhero shene the colors, encircling
pillars and draping the stage In varled
festoons from whtuh wero pendant foot
balls and cel loge trophies. In front was n
pyramid or base ball bats, foils, gloves,

te cause the student's heart te rojelco.
Frem elther slde descended a mass or
foliage and brilliant lloweis, from behtnd
which Issued tbe meledies llke tbe uotes or
birds rraui a tropical forest. Huge antlers
adorned tbe walls and tennis nets, ears aud
