Scranton, P.L, Feb. 81. The
Catholic orphauaSe at Hyde Park,
Scranton. burned early last night.
Fifteen children We're taken out
lead and two are missing.
LATER-Seventeen children were
burned, fourteen boys aud three
girls. The building of the st. Pat
rick's orphan asylum, situated at
TIE cornor of jackson street and
Lincoln avenue, about mile from
the centre Of the city is occupied
by a number of sisters of charity.
and under their charge were forty
children from six to twelve years.
The boys Sand girls occupied sep
arate dorm.tories on the third
floor. At S 80 a sister took the
children 10 their rooms and locked
the doors. Descending the stains
she discovered smoke issuing from
"a room on the second story. Opens
ing the door she was driven back
by cloud of smoke. Fire was
raging along the ceiling, making
its way to the upper floor. The
sister darted up the stairs and
found the girls room full of smoke.
She took them to the lower floor
and started back to get the boys.
The smoke was pouring into the
hall in binding clouds, and when
about halfway up the stairs the
sister met stranger. She made
an effort to pass but he refused 30
allow her, saying the boys had
been rescued and it would be dang
erous for her to so to them. She
reluctantly went back. An alarm
brought four fire companies and
the flames was raging tiercely when
the firemen went to work. They
were informed of the belief of the
sisters that some children were
still in the building and ma,le
every effort to reach the upper
floor. In short time tho flames
were beaten back and the door OF
the dormant0Ty burst open. The
victims of the fire was found be-
meath the cots. Only two were
touched by the fire, but all had
evidently been dead some time.
Intense excitement prevails.

All a Lie.

It turns ont just as We expected
from the first, that it was lie
manufactured out of whole cloth,
and which went the rounds of the
press. that Col. Hooker, the bIill-
liant membc: of Congress from this
State, was so ''irregular" one day
in Congress recently. as TO give his
friends great rain, and his enemies
much glee. A former resident of
Raymond, who now lives in Wash
Ington City, on being questioned
as to the truthfulness of this re-
port, declared it was fabrication
by some one who wished simply
to do Col. Hooker an injury. We
denounced it as canard from the
beginning.-[Y Yazoo Herald.
