bodies that have not been accounted for.
In taking a number of the old women to Flat.

Mrs Donohue IL blind, and does not take a step

THE FIREs ORIGIN.
nThs origin Of the Gre Is vet mystery. II
Il believed thlt II started from the hus OF the
heater, which passes into the cellar Just below
where the 1fe was frat seen. Sisters Augustine
Joseph and COLOMBIAN passed around the male
department at v o'clock, at which time they
locked the doors. There WAS no Sign OF nrs
then. The smoking room was empty. As the
nres on Tuesday night were low, the sister Su-
perior thinks that the fus could not have been
over heated.
The loss by the Ore Is about tes,0O0. The ex
tension was built four years ago at a cost OF
tb,OO0. the Home was founded seven yeafH
ago by seven Sisters who were sent from Franco
by Father l.. Poilleur, who thirty Ave years ago
founded the order OF the Little Sisters OF the
Poor In st. Servan, brittany. Tho Institution Is
supported entirely by charity. Every day the
sisters go around the city collecting clothing
and food. They buy little. They will not be
able to care for all their dependsnt, until the
extension has been rebuilt, as the Home was
already overcrowded.
One or two OF the dead bodies were taken
away last evening. The rest remain for ident a.
cation. One or two robust young men called TO
see II their fathers were among the dead, and
yesterday With heroic zeal were Sister Mary Of

Mr.. w. ID. Kittle was the person interested In
about forty bids In Florida In the name Of ]. f.

on LOO mail routes In several States, large
number OF which were the lowest bids received
These cases were presented by the Postm aster-
General to the Committee Of the House and the
Senate to inquire whether they could advise
him how, In accordance with the law, he could
reject these bids. The House Committee last
evening took the testimony Of several witnesses
In connection with the Kittle BIDS, which de
yeloped the fact that the straw man Reynolds
was boy IL or 10 yeirs Of age, who had been
brought from Michigan TO appear as q bidder,
because Ktttle under the law was excluded
as such himself, aud that the bonds hled with

some OF the Things that stand In the Way
OF Progress Ia the Good Work.
In the Sunday School Congress in Plain
neld on Monday, the first question discussed was
the existing system OF sunday school instruc-
tion. DR.. Vincent explained the difference be-
tween the old-fsshioned sunday School Con-
vention, the Institute, and the Normal class.
The last-named body, OF which the present
Congress is a representative, Ia the highest au-
thority, and its business Is TO deal with execu-
tive topics. The primal object of the Conven-
tion, said the speaker, Ia the arousing OF IN.
spiratiOn among Sunday school workers.
DR.. Randoph Of Illinois spoke OF the defects OF
the modern sunday School Convention, ana out
OF his words grew discussion upon It's general
defects, In which all the delegates participated.
II was said that the principal faults are hurried
preparation, want OF plan or purpose, too much
time spent In hearing uninteTesting and onoto.
nous statistics, want Of good management, APP
pointment OF unnt men to office, out OF compli-
ment to them, discussion Of extraneous subjects,
too much gas and gush and too little solid work,
too little order and too many topics discussed,
too much promiscuOus advertising and too lit
tle ludicious exhibition OF Sunday school APP
planCes.
