THEORETICAL. Special Dispateh to T Exx. Sr. Pexer, Minn., November 17.— 4 p. m.—The theory grenorally ac- cepted is that the ins-ne asylum fire started in the basement, in the north- west corner of the buildiag. Some hold that it commenced from the stub of acigor or fire from the pipe of an attendant. Others from the bursting of a gascline pipe, and others still from a coil of steam pipe. It must have burned some time befors the discovery, which took place before eight o'clock, when one of the attend- ant: observed smoke coming through the registers. The investigation that followed DISCLOSED THE STARTLISG FACT that the basement of the whole north wing was in flames. Firat and moat important is the'central building, four stories, 60x120 feet. From this north and east wings extended each with returns and sub-wings. The north three wing, whera the fire tarted stories in height, 165 feet long, two returns 40x70 and 30z60. wing was used for male patients in which were confined at the time of the fire 270 pationts. Through the wings and returns the fames spresd rapidly and a scene of CONFUSION AND WILD TEREOR ensued beyond the power of pen to adequately describe. Blinding smoke, shrickn, maledictions and manincal laughter of the frightened inmates, clatter and turmoil without, a pressing crowd of people and thousand and one things incident to such an occa- sion, rade the sceno as of hell turned loote on earth, in the presence of which the cfficers and help of the in- stitation were for a time powerless. One ofthe citizens of St. Peter, among the frat to reachthe burning bulding, : “Oh, I cannot describe the b.or- rible scene, There wera men at the windows in the third story, som.e LOOKING CALMLY AT DES.tH, Others making grimaces at The groavs and screams of the dying were terrible. I went in with an attend- ant and wo got one man.. Justas we were leaving I saw tunother and was about to_ grab him when he rushed back in the midst of the flames and smoke and to his doom. I wasal- most suffocated. I then went around with the sttendant to another room, and we got one man out half dead and another dead, suffocated. went around to the north side of the building and saw five or six jumpin-g up before the wind.owa of the bui'd. ing. Twoof Denny’a men and J. got an axe, this was in the first story, and we succeeded in. breaking tnrough two sets of bars and rescued two more men. I then{ ascended the ladder to the second story, and sfter working twenty min- utes got &l ole through. This room contained o. Frenchman. He worked like » gian.t in helping me to break the windows open. I got bim out then myselfand two or three others went into the hall and found one man dead, We heard went through considerable smoke anid dust and i1 a room about 10 by 12 we found a crib on which lay a man, his hands v.ad feet were tied whom we reacuer him. It was acenos like this tat we; encountered everywhere. OH, IT WAS TERRIBLE! Groans, shrieksand demoniac laughter areringing in my ears yet.” This man’s story is but the reflex of hundreds of others. Theefforts to remove patients, especially the vio- lent, wero thwarted by mad obstinacy and tbe lives lost were mainly due to this. A few, in their removal suc- ceeded in escaping, carrying conster- nation to the people of the town but most were safely housed in barns and other vacant buildings. Of those who escaped 1t is believed, all have been recaptured. Several wers found badly frozen, amputation of limbs being necessary in one or two casce. THE FATE OF ONE POOR MANIAC, who was literally roasted alive, fairly illustrated the terror of the scene. He occupied a room in the third story of the wing where the fire ed. As the flames crept up to_hie living grave, he stood peering through the bara of his window with the seeming coolness and fortitude of a martyr. Shafts of fire darted npward and al most licked his face. Still he was un- impassioned, merely dodeing the flames as they leaped toward him, as if anxious to wrap bim in their fiery em- brace, At last his cell was filled with flames, transforming it int> a very firey farnace, and he was seen no more. The total population of the asylum was 583, of whom 243 were males, and 340 females. The portion of the building destroyed was occupied ex clusively by males, and the portion saved ircluded the domestic depart- ment, heating spparatus, ete. With the excation of a fow patients, who will be returned to their connty poor houses and ten who will be sent to Rochester, the patients will all be cared for here by a system of crowd ing. The loss on the building is about $100,000, upon which thers is no insurance. A True Bl ‘Bpecial dispatch ta Tus Bex.
