DESTRUCTION OF a CONVENT AND TER.
RIBLE Loss OF LIFE.-The institute of the
Immaculate Conception at Bellevile, Ills,
was burned Saturday night, and twenty,
two pupils and FIVE sisters were burned to
death or fatally injured in attempting to es-
cape. Miss Mary Campbell, of East St.
Louis, teacher, leaped from the third sto-
ry and died in few minutes. Another
climbed to the roof portico, and either fell
or was blown off. sustaining fatal injuries.
When the ruins were sufficiently cooled a
volunteer corps went to work to bring out
the bodies. 1t was q terrible sight. At
times the searchers would fud two or three
cbarred masses huddled close together, as
if the victims had sought protection from
one another from the advancing flames.
Two bodies were found in the rear part OF
the building, burned ihto an unrecogniza-
BILE mass, but the majority were found be-
meath where. the dormitory was situated.
They seemed to have sought shelter in this
room too late to recognize that it was i'm
possible to escape from it. The flames be-
meath, eating away the supports, let down
the floor into the seething vortex of fire and
smoke. The building and its contents
were valued at $4,000 to $4,000; insur
ance $4,000.
