When the terrible nature of the catastrophe is considered, this is not et all strange.

To the left of the centre of the building, as one enters the grounds. is situated the female department. To the right is the male department.

In the rear part of the private wards, which in some oases contained .comfort - roma. able and even luxurious roma. according .o to the atandingheortanate—coon-. pants, is a bathroom. It was in this bath- room that the fire originated. How was it started ? There was no fire for anything, nor was there any necessity for it. The place was heated by hot water or steam and lighted by electricity. The statement was freely made on the grounds that the fire was to be attributed to the electrical current.

Then the spark which razed St. Jean de Dien to the ground was set by ail insane person. This is the version accepted by Sister Therese. When the fire had been b ingot ime smo • e began loaning through the openings surrounding the closed doors. In the rear of the asylum are the stables where about 100 men patients were quar- tered last night under the supervision of the Sisters and four Montreal policemen. The scene is not one to be easily described,, and surely not to be easily forgotten. Lying on heaps of straw, the sickly and feeble !were to be seen moaning, gibbering, shriek- ing, while twisting and jumping were the more sturdy ones on the floor around them. It made one shudder to witness the 'fierce Expression on some countenances. Dr. Duquette, the Government Medical 'Imparter, phone the loss of life at certainly 60.

INEFFICIENT FIRE PROTECTION. • Onoe started, the fire was simply a repe- tition of the Toronto University conflagra- tion. The filmes spread like a tornado through the long corridors until in a com- paratively short space of time the. extre wings of the large pile were burning 'as fiercely an the centre. Confusion and,panio of the wildest kind ensued, and probably over 100 poor creatures were conaumed in the fearful blaze. No words could be too strong in condemning the lack of pre- cautions against fire in such a orowded building. • There was only one iron door in the entire pile to prevent the flames from spreading. and no adequate water supply to combat the destroyirg element. All the water necessary for the wants of the establishment was pumped up from the river by a smell Worthington engine into eleven reservoirs pieced - in the most elevated portiona of the building, their capacity being six thousand gallons each. A quantity of hose had been placed on brackets in the passages, -but there 'was no-eysteraatio drill in their use, and it could hardly be expected that the nuns; enonm• bered as they were with the care of frenzied patients, would be equal to snob an emer- gency.Then, again, the great height of the building' increased the danger end made it utterly impossible to get the violent patients out of the death trap. SEEKING FOR RELATIVES. Many of the inmates are stillunaccounted for, but the asylum authorities are;making ap a list of those rescued, and it is expected in this way to arrive at an exact know- ledge of those who have perished. The rescued inmates are now wintered throngb- ent the various iiastitntions- belonging to the Providence Nuns in the city. A large slumber of the female inmates' are confined in the St. Isadore Convent et Longue Pointe ; 'othere are al the Fullum Street Convent and the Deaf and Dumb Institute in this city. Many ofthe male inmates lune been placed in the St. Benoit Asylum, and et the Jesuit Institute at Longue Pointe. The Government's offer of the large exhibition buildings in this city has Seen accepted by the nuns, as a temporary shelter for the unfortunate patients. The work of putting the building into a proper condition was commenced this morning,a-nd a large number of patients were removed there to=day. As far as .oan be ewer - Joined six Sisters perished in the names, namely, Sisters Marie Grovel, Louis. Grovel, Detnerise Gilbert, Luminia Bonthillier, .

In -addition there are many still missing. Amongst these is Mrs. Mary A. Shahan, of Millbury, Vermont, who was an inmate of the furious ward, and who it is feared also perished in the filmes. This•lady, who was a private patient, belonged to one of the best known families in Vermont. A former wealthy resident of St. Polyoarp, named Lanthier, waif conducted from his plane of confiner mint, but disappeared before he could _be removed to safe keeping. He was stopped once while trying to go back to the burning building, but it is feared shat he may have reached it another time, as no trade of him can be found.
