NINETEEN POOR CREATURES DEAD. Seventeen of the Victims Crippled -- Two of the Dead Women Who Sacrificed Their Lives in Despair -- Many Rare Deeds of Heroism -- The Scenes in the Burned Fire Trap Most Pitiful. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 23 -- At least seventeen helpless, crippled children and two others, inmates of the Indianapolis surgical institute, lost their lives and twenty other persons were injured, some of them badly, during the holacaust which destroyed the hospital building early yesterday morning. Two hundred and forty-six patients and thirty nurses sleeping in the two four story buildings at the corner of Illinois and Georgia streets, in which the institute is located, were in imminent danger of their lives. It was almost on the stroke of 12 when janitor GILL gave the alarm of fire, for the surgical institute, which had been looked upon for years as a fire trap. The first alarm was instantly followed by the second and third. By the time the department arrived helpless cripples were hanging on the fire escapes and in every window, while the cries of those shut in the burning building mingled with the shouts of the firemen and police. Heroic deeds of rescue were performed and for two hours it was thought that all the inmates had been saved. In the Georgia street annex, third floor, the fire raged furiously all this while, and soon after 9 o'clock, the fire having been then nearly subdued, the police and firemen made their way into the building. In one room a fearful mass of roasted humanity lay entwined. When their bodies were disengaged it was found that there were seven persons. The names of the killed so far as known are: KATE L. STRONG, died at 184 Mass avenue, home Salem, Oregon. MRS. SAMUEL LAZARUS of Chicago, jumped from second story of the rear. WILLIAM RAMSTACK, Milwaukee. MISS KATE BURNS, Newport, Minn.
