PENNSYLVANIA,

Terrible Holocaust-Seventeen Chill
dren Burned to DEATH.
SCRANTON, Feb. 2S.-Excited crowds surged
this morning to the scene of the disaster at
st. Patriok's Orphan Asylum, Hyde Park
where seventeen small children fourteen
boys and three girls-were suffocated. The
bodies, which were taken to the house of
Father Roche, have been prepared for burial
Five of the dead children were visited by
friends this morning. Most of the little ones
were friendless. The origin of the fire is as
signed to a defective fue on the second floor,
but the matter has not been definitely set
tied. The assertions by one of the Sisters
that she was stopped on the stairs by a stran-
ger when she was about to return to the res
cue of the boys, after having taken the girls
to place of safety, causes much inquiry an
to who he was, but none of those who were
in the building have yet identified him. The
three girls dead are supposed to have broken
from the apartment to escape the fire and en-
tered that of the boys, where they met their
death. thorough investigation will be
made by the coroner and the result of the
inquiry is anxiously awaited. Shortly
after II o'clock this morning Coroner
Leek selected a jury and proceeded to view
the bodies of the dead children. The little
ones were identified separately by two Sis
ters connected with the asylum. Many of
the victims lay on the floor with blackened
faces, disfgured foreheads and burned wrists
The asylum was next visited by the jury and
the dormitories inspected. The one occu-
pied by the boyg was greatly damaged by the
flames, several large holes being burned
through the floor. In the girls room the
damage was not SO great, but the cots were
disarranged, showing that the little ones
must have experienced the most intense
fright. The coroner decided to postpone a
full investigation till Friday.
