London, Jan. 28.--Fifty-four women insane patients in Colney Hatch luna- tic asylum were burned to death, yes- terday, in the fire which destroyed the five asylum buildings. Not since Sep- tember, 1887, when the Exeter theatre was burned down has such a disas- trous fire occurred in England as that of yesterday. Radeed the loss of life was greater than any fire within the area of London in nearly two centur- jes. The majority of the inmates of the asylum utterly failed to realize the danger and many of them were seen burning in their beds, right under the eves of the helpless officials. Others es- caped into the grounds in a naked condition. None had more than a night dress on and not a few rushed out of the building enveloped in flames. The attendants did all in their power, to save the poor. demented creatures whose shrieks were, nitiahie in the extreme. The tragedy was over in an hour. The local fire brigade complained bit. terly of the inadequate supply of wat- er and condemned the authorities for herding the lunatics together in a building constructed entirely of wood. The disaster. has created a profound impression in London. The buildings which were destroved were built seven years ago. It was in- htended then that they sh ull not re- main in use for more than five years. All that remains of three acres of buildings are the brick foundations. Colney Hatch asylum drew its name from that of the old suburb of Lon- don, where it was erected, and which is now known as New Southgate. The late Prince Consort laid the first foun- dation stone in 1849, and it was op- ened in 1851 for the reception of pa- tients. The cost of its erection is esti: mated at a little over half a million pounds sterling, and the yearly cost of maintenance has been about sixty thousand pounds. It is supported by the ratepayers, of the metropolitan county of Middlesex. It was designed in plain Italian style, was built of brick, with ground plan is that of a large E.

Plows Into Train on New Jersey Central RR. New York, Jan. 2% --ane of the most appalling wrecks that has oe curred in the vicinity of New York for many years took plece lest night at Gracelend, N.J., on the Central rail- road of New Jersey, ncar Westlield, N.J., when the Rowal Blue line ex- press plowed at top speed into the rear exd of a local tran. Immediate ly after the crash thiee of the shatter ed cars of the local train took fire, renderi impossible the rewue of many of the wounded, who were pin- ned fast in the ' wreck. Many bodies are lLelieved to lave ben consumed. 1t is tnown that there gre twenty-four dead. Sizteen charted bodies | have Leen taken from the wreckage. Eight dead we e either re overed before the wrecked cars canght fire or died after being taken out of the debris. Un boerd the flyer all the passengers, al- though badly shaken up, escaped un injured save for trifling bruises. The local train had only left Dunel- len and was moving slowly when the Royal Blue, travelling apparently at full speed, which at that point usual ly approximates sixty-five miles an hour, crashed into the rear end. The heavy engine of the Roval Blue tore its way info the rear car and at the same time grove the forward end of that gar imfo the rear end of the car ahead, whith in turn was driven into the thind car and this in turn was driven inte the fourth car from the rear. The fourth car was only partly wrecked, but the last three were torn to pieces. The engine of the Royal Blue left the rails and turned over on its side, the engineer and fireman sticking to their posts and going down with the wreck. They are now in the Muhlen- berg Hospital at Plainfield and the en- gineer is not believed to have a chance of living more than a few hours. Passengers on the flyer say the en gineer applied the brakes just a minute or so before the wreck. The train ahead had sent a flacman back, but it seems he was recalled when the train got under wav and, although he left torpedos, the Roval Blue did not heed them or else was going too fast to stop in the short distance remain: ing. The man who went back to flag the train had just swung onto the rear end of his train and is among the dead. When the engine ploughed into the rear car it partly split the car open and at the same time lifted it up on- to itself. In this manner those in that car, beside being crushed, were scald ed and burned by the engine. This car was the first to take fire, and most of those in it are dead. Some of them are believed to be beneath the over- turned engine. Those in the car lifted onto the rear who suffered most. thd. e oar be and behind them they were enveloped if: smoke and steam, and it was here that the worst sights were witnessed. The imprisoned omes begged for death to end their agonies, and im- plored those who were laboring to get' them free to crush their heads with axes they were using to chop awav the wreckage. Some bepoed for water, some raved, more prayed. Some cursed and prayed alternately. The dead taken to the morgue at Plainfield are : Edgar Williams, a New York law ver; C. P. Thayer of Plainfield, secre tary to United States Senator 2. C. Platt; Harry G. Hand of New York city, Harry Paterson of Dunellen, George B. Reed of Scotch Plains, Tho mas Cuming of Plainfield, Rowland R ahead, which was car, were those Chandler * of Plainfield and Edward Flvan of Plainfield. In addition to this list there are many charred bodies yet at the scene of the wreck. er ------ TERMS SATISFACTORY. It is Now Likely Negotiations Will Proceed.

NAUGHTY CO - EDS COAX FRIENDS TO A GRAVEYARD. A Surprise For the Freshies -- Freshmen Sisters Received Amid Snow-Oovered Mounds and' Time-Stpined Tombstones. Indianajolis, Ind., Jan. 38.--~In a graveyaid, at the weird hour of mid night, surrounded b snow-covered mounds and seri Mey tomb- stones, half 4 hurdred naughty coeds of Tndiana University initiated half that number of their humble and suf fering freshmen sistmis. The faculty desires nothing so much as it desires to secure evidence that will point to the Jeaders of the upper class girls who originated the and carried out the details of the mid night revelry in the college town ceme- tery. One day the freshmen who formed the list Ff "victims,"" were in receipt of an invitation requesting them to attend a midpight "party," to be iven by hosts from the u classes. The invitations simply wad: 'Your pleasure is requested at a midnight party in the centre plot of 'God's Acre." " There was nothing else save the dete. The night in question came to hand, and those who inclined to the theory that they were simply to be tested as to their bravery in following out a very foolish injuncticn were more than ever bewildered when, on arriving at "God's Acre," they were met hy mask- ed figures and silently escorted to the centre of a ring of other "masked fig- ures. Then the roll was called. .go- Every freshman girl of the score had responded save one. : From s>mewhere ropes were obtain ed, and the hands and arms of fre-hman girls were tied. They were forced into the form of a circle, and, a cording to the evidence of omy of the vi'tims, something very similar to the following was read to them in all the tones of solemnity that the up per close students could command : "Pitiful creature, vou have invoked the wrath of the great Double Fudge by using your fork at the table. Great has been your crime and at shall be your punishment. You have also broken another of the rules--you bave spread red stuffs upon your For i®, your punishment shall be even greater than your crime." The followed the denouement. Flaming carmine paint was brought forward, and as each freshman turn ed a docile cheek the color was plant ed thereon With a liberal if not a pains taking hand. Nene escaped. This, according to the girls who were "present," completed the cere mony, and the "party" was dismissed. Eight hours later the faculty was in possession of the facts and the de tai's, but, though a special meeting was called, there could not be dis covered any evidence that would dis close the names of those who issued the "invitations."
