ORPHANS BURNED OUT.
Several Persons Injured in Escaping From
the Building, One Sister Probably
Fatally.

NEW YORK, December 1S.AThe Catholic
Male Orphan Asylum, at st. Marks and
Albany avenues, Brooklyn, burned this
afternoon and 1t is feared some children
perished in the flames. Sisters in chargel
think all escaped, but cannot tell until the
roster of the boys is called. The little fell.
lows arc now scattered about in care of!
residents of the neighborhood. The fire
started in the drying-room which
adjoined the southern end of the
main building. This drying-room
also contained boilers and heating ap-
paratus, with dormitory on third floor, in
which there were sixty orphans suffering
from various complaints. Sister Mary
Josephine, who was in the dormitory at
the time the fire broke out, made a heroic
effort to save the little ones. She re.
mained in the room until absolutely driven
out by the flames, and then ran to a win
dew, where she stood upon the cornice un-
til Fireman McGroarty, from the roof of
the building, swung his coat to her.
The The, Sister caught the coat, but when
her perilous, position.f she lost her
grasp, and fell to the ground. She struck
upon her shoulder and head. She was con-
veyed to st. GATHERINGS Hospital in an un-
conscious condition. Joseph Ryan, q boy,

floor (third), and got within eight feet of
the ground, when the ladder parted. He
received severe injuries. John McGrath,
eight years old, jumped from the third
story, and was badly injured. Mother
Dechautel and Sister Anthony were in the
office when the fire was discovered. They
at once gave the alarm, and proceeded to
get the youngsters out of the building.
There were 1856 orphans in the main
building, which is also known as the st.
Johns Home. They were told to leave the
Home and seek shelter in any neighboring
house until called for. There was great
excitement among the inmates. Hundreds
of little fellows ran out into the falling
snow, hatless and coatless. The flames
spread with great rapidity, and the build
ings We're almost completely destroyed.
The asylum and grounds occupied an en-
tire block. The asylum buildingwas 210 by150
feet, three stories, with mansard roof, and
constructed of blue stone. At nine o'clock
the charred walls remained. 1t could not
be learned definitely tonight whether any
lives were lost, but the best is hoped for.
The building destroye ed was valued at 5000
600; insured.

LOSS OF LIFE
At the Worlds Exposition, New
Orleans.
Fall of An Immense Iron Building, Killing
One Man, Mortally Wounding Another
and Severely Injuring q Third.

NEW ORLEANS, December 21.-Three
hundred feet of the iron framework of
large hotel being erected west of the main
Exposition building fell with terrible
crash to-day. Frank Green, colored, of
Nashville, was instantly killed, Albert
Freeze, Michigan, mortally injured and
James Carroll, Chicago, severely injured
internally. Ritter & Connolly, of
The foreman in charge of the
building, Mr.. Miller said it was the most
narrow escape from death he had ever
witnessed in his life on the part of the forty
odd workmen who were on the building.
Most of the men were at work inside the
building. Those on top were Frank Green,
the dead man; James Carroll, Albert
Esssss louis rbs Gnts Gstasce and these N
men fell was sixty and forty five
feet. Freese was at the greatest
height, and Green, killed, was just next
him. Miller attributes the accident to
weakness of foundations, and to the insult
fciency Of the supporting ropes. He stat
ed also that posts temporarily put up near
far enough, and that with the very heavy
weather lately experienced and the strong
wind blowing for the past two days, the
building was unable to stand, be-
ing top-heavy with iron and timber.
He had observed that the build
east to west abouth two feet, and he had
just attempted to remedy that defect by
having an extra tension put on the main
stays or ropes, when the structure swayed,
and with a crash came down. There was
a moderate attendance at the Exposition
Hall, with sacred concert by the Mexi-
can banQ,
