an interview to-day with Sister Therese do
Jesus, the superioress of the asylum She
places the loss of life at certainly 20. and

life at least at fifty. The ruins of the
asylum were visited Nothing but heaps of
smoking brick and mortar could be seen.
No vestige of the dead can be traced. In
the rear of the asylum are stables where
about lOO patients We're quartered last
night. In the laundry there are confined
IL patients, mostly quiet persons, whose aid
has been taken advantage of in putting
things in shape. John O'Rourke worked
with the greatest heroism, and with the
aid of his brother James and William
Higgins, saved IL women from the various
wards, when all hope of being able
to snatch them from the flames
had been abandoned. There were four
tapping verandas on the outside Of the
buildings. Back of these were the rooms.
O Rourke cut through the flooring of the
veranda and ascended to the top one These
verandas are barred with iron and resemble
the cages Of wild animals. Herein he passed

who in turn passed them to Higgins ana
Others until they were safely lowered to the

GLOOMY.OUTLOOKAT AT BARRE.
The Quarrymen Will Not Return TO Worl
Until Demands are Granted.


Until Demands are Granted.
The outlook at Barre Tuesday is that The
granite business there is apt to receive a
severe set back.
1t seems that the union drillers and quar-
rymen are bound to stand firm in their de-
mands, and agree not to return to work un-
til they are granted, and several of the
principal quarry owners have said
that they will shut up their quarries for one
year before they will recognize the Drler' S
and Quarrymen' union. This evidently
means trouble very soon, unless one side or
the other gives in and settlement is made.
1t is understood that the other unions, the
Cutters especially, will support them, and
there are great many runors around
town III regard to general strike,
and other matters, but no reliance
can be placed upon any of them, aud none
of the bosses can give any positive nfor-
nation. 1t is said if there should be an
other strike the result will be a general
lockout in both sheds and quarries
Owing to the depression in the stone bust
ness, trains 5, 6, : and were cancelled to-
day until further notice, on the Barre rail
road, between this village and the Quarr;es.
The number of non-unlon men at work
