ORIGIN OF THE FIRE

The fire had its origin in a fur
mace in the southwest corner of the
basement, and when discovered the
floor above the furnace was ablaze
and volumes of smoke were rapidly
pouring through the stairways and
corridors and halls of the building.
By the time the sleepers were thor
oughly aroused the smoke had be-
come suffocating and all avenues OF
escape were filled with binding
smoke. Then a panic ensued, and
1t is for the imagination to paint the
sorrowful and heartrending picture.
With almost unparalleled extremity,
the cold necessarily retarded the
work of the firemen, and even if they
could have reached the scene with
out delay they could have been of
little service in rescuiug the victims.
There are no ladders in the depart
ment and no provision for the de-
plorable emergency had been made
by the managers of the institution.
The unfortunate inmates were there
fore powerless to relieve themselves
and those who were witnesses to the
horrible holocaust. were powerless
to assist them. Willing hands and
anxious hearts were ready to use all
means for the rescue, but alas, the
means were uot equal to the emer-
gency. Mary Jerome, the Sister
superior, whu is among the killed,
was born and raised in Pittsburg.
She was a Miss Heyl.
