SufTOcated in HAIL.

JERsEYv1LLE, ILL.,, Jan. 8. Tho court
house and county Jail in this city burned
Sunday morning, and all the prisoners, four
in number, smothered before they could be
reached. The janitCr of the Baptist church.
which stands opposite the courthouse on the
square, first discovered the fire about
6 o'clock Smoke was Issuing from the
windows of the cells, but as there were
neither watchmen nor officials in o. about the
courthouse, he had 10 run about half mi;e
to arouse the janitor of the courthouse and
the sheriff. Returning, he rang the large
church bell, as the courthouse bell rope
could not be reached. The church bell, how
ever, created but little alarm, as it was sup
posed generally that it was ringing for
church.
Upon the arrival of the turnkey and Of
ficials the passage to the jail was soon cleared
OF smoke by opening tie doors and windows
so that the prisoners could be reached in their
cells. Three were dead, and the fourth gasp
ing, while his heart was throbbing its last
beats. Two were stretched ON their cots, and
TWO had fallen by the door!
The unfortunate victims were: Emil Kah-
ler, charged with stealing mule from Alex
ander Wonderly, near Brighton; August
Schultz, arrested for stealing a coat from H.
Daenger; James Griggs (colored), for petit
larceny; Mat Dunsdon, indicted and awaiting
his trial for shooting AMI killing Miss Nellie
Dodson in this city March %, 1883.
The fire evidently originated around the
thimble in the ceiling, through which the
stovepipe from the Jail passed. Before the
janitor left Saturday evening he built hot
fire in the stove in the corridor surrounding
he cells, and it is evident the prisoners suf-
cred slow and torturous death, as there
was SO little wood around the cells
for the fire to work upon, and it was
found that they had stuffed bedding
and clothing into the grating and
cracks, in the vain endeavor to keep out the
deadly smoke. Shouting and screams had
been heard in the neighborhood for hours be-
fore the fire was discovered, but nothing was
thought of it, as prisoners often disturb the
stiffness of the night with their yells or songs.
The jail had been repeatedly condemned by
grand juries and the county court as an un-
suitable place of confinement, but the county
had refused to vote money to build a new
one. 49, a
Shultz, when arrested, told the officers he
had better be in Jail than shucking corn in
the cold. When told he might have to go to
Joliet, he said he wanted to go to Chicago,
and was on the way. Griggs, colored, is re-
spectacle, and was probably innocent of the
charge under which he was arrested Duns-
don belongs to one of the best families in the
county. When his remains were removed
to his mothers residence she was frantic with
grief and Frustrated with commissions

He was standing across the street, and per-
ceived smoke and flame through the window
over the west wing. 1t W@s then about lO:4a
D. M. and acting on the impulse of the mo-
ment, he dashed over to the convent and be-
gan a fierce assault ON the door, AT this
point statements are contradictory ,and in the
excitement the truth could not be sifted from
the mass of rumors which were woven into
plausible statements. Some people say that
when the alarm was sounded one OF the door
keepers of the convent called out in shril
tone ordering the disturber to desist.
The noise may have been taken for
the actions of drunken man, and the
real nature of the warning was not un-
derstood. Failing to awaken any appre-
tensions for personal safety within the build
ing, Love ran over to fire-alarm bell which
hung in the Harris machine works, and its
loud changing was the first intimation or
danger which the sisters received.
When the women aud children began to
appear, clad only in their night-dresses, at
the windows and shrek for aid, the scene was
piteous in the extreme. One by one and in
groups they disappeared, and again came
back to the windows and began throwing
themselves from the third story far above

so being Sisters Maressa, Rerearta and
Madrida. Sisters Stylite, Magdalen, Pas
chalis and others followed. Several were
assisted down short ladder from second
story window by bystanders.
Sister Gilacia, who taught the boys day
school, with great presence of mind led sew
eral girls down from the second story to the
basement, and escaped by the rear of the
building.
The picking up of the dead and crushed
victims was performed by loving hands.
They were carried to the morgue and the or
phan asylum. At the place DR.. Kohl and
other physicians were in attendance, and, as
soon as the injured sisters were brought in,
dressed their wounds and placed them in beds
in one of the dormitories.
The last time the mother superior was
seen alive was in the sisters dormitory. The
smoke had filtered through, and the cracking
of the flames were audible in the end of the
corridor as they rapidly advanced.
Sister Mary Jerome, passing by, opened
the door for an instant and glanced in. She
did not remain, but passed directly on her
way to the upper floor, where the gir.s'
dormitory is. She sank to the floor, and
rested her elbow on the floor, with her chin
in the palm. Nearly twelve hours subse-
quently the incinerated remains were found
in the same attitude. and their identity
established by the peculiar texture Of the
woolen underwear.
