Fighting desperately with the flames and with the maniac terror of their charges, the physicians, nurses and attendants battled heroically, and some of them are believed to be in- cluded in the list of victims. Search will be made in the ruins of the building as soon as the embers cool, and it is feared that the number of dead may be even greater than yet re ‘Terrible scenes were enacted during the fire. When the flames were discovered more than 600 insane persons were In the institut! which was located in an inaccessible position high on the mountain ity.
