The Convent of the Immaculate
Conception at Belleville, ILL.,, was
burned to the ground last Saturday
night. The fire was attended by great
loss of life, thirty pupils being burned
to death, and the mother superior
likewise persisted in the flames. The
fire started in the basement, after the
inmates, some seventy-five pupils and
teachers, had retired. The building
was four and half stories high, and
the greater portion of the scholars
lodged in the third story. When the
alarm was given, the frightened pu-
pills, thus suddenly aroused from peace
full slumber, were seized with wild
panic, as were the teachers and sisters.
Almost Immediately the smoke and
flames cut off the usual means of exit,
and several of the inmates leaped from
the windows to the ground, receiving
injuries which quickly proved fatal in
most instances. A fiye-story building
for a school house! The laws which
permit such death-traps are disgrace
to the age We live in!
