The little ones, who are all under 10 years of age, had beeame frantle on account of the sumuke that was pouring into their room, but the Sister quickly gulded them out, and they fol- lowed her to the lower floor, ‘Ihe smoke filled the ballway, and the Sister alarmed the rest of the lumates In the house. Then she hurried back toward tho dormltories to al- low the boys Lo escape, but HER PASSAGE WAS BLOCKED BY AN UN- KNOWN MAN, swho declared that /ll the children had left the room, 1ly nsserted that she would be In danger of her life if she approached the dormltery, wnd Insisted so strongly that all the boys were out that the Sister Dbelleved bim and hurrled away, the tire hnving broken out with great forco on the floor: where she stood, The flames sprend through the house and enveloped the third floor. A general alarm brought four fire companles to the scene, and heavy streams were soon being poured Into the bullding. Many of the thousamis of spectators who were attracted to the spot wers of ommnion that some of the chlldren wers sull in the building, but others whe were there from the inception of tho fire were positive that all tho Inmates had escaped. The firemen, ucting upon n pressing desive from the erowd, reached the aormitory floor g 5001 45 Pos- sible, and burst . the door.

Many theories aro affoat to-night us to the cause of the fire, but no definit conclusion ‘can be arrived at. At this hour, hulf-past 12, tho strects of Seranton and Pyde Park are filled with anxfous people, and the oceurence has glven rise to A FEELING OF GREAT SORIOW. On necount of the distance of the orphan- ago from tho eity it cannot be definitly as- certained to-night how the glrls were found In tho boys' dormitory. The bodies of the children were removed to the residence of the priest, and hundreds of persons surged into the building to view the remains. Many of the orphans had been placed In that insti- tution by their mothers, and the distressed wonien were almost leart-broken with grief when they singled ont a chlld from the nun- ber and elaimed the little one. ‘I'he mnjority of tho children wero without father or mother, and were shown every attention by the Sisters, and were supported by tho peo- plo of the parish, This disaster has sent o thrill of sorrow throughout tho clty, DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
