ONE IS CREMATED Panic Rages When Institution at New London, Conn., Caught Afire.

THREE ARE OVERCOME

Two of Whom Are in Serious Condition. Two Firemen Are Injured.

(National News Association) NEW LONDON, Conn., Jan. 2. Fire which broke out shortly after midnight in the local almshouse, a 2story brick structure with a basement on Garfield avenue, caused a panic among the 50 inmates, one of whom was burned to death, two overcome from smoke and shock and in a serious condition and a third overcome but not seriously. Two firemen were injured in fighting the blaze and rescuing the inmates and were under treatmen at the hospital today. John Schronberry, an eccentric clock repairer, the only one of the inmates to lose his life, was mimed to death. He was confined in a padded cell in the basement of the building near the heating apparatus where the fire started. Efforts to reach him were unavailing and though at first it was possible for those in the hospital to converse with him and later his agonizing cries were heard, it was impossible to get him out and his body was later found burned to a crisp. The fire was confined to the center of the building which is a long structure and the loss will not be over 12.000.
