New YORK, Aug. 29.-The entire
group of buildings with the exception
of the hospital, which comprised the
Convent of ST. Agnes and orphanage,
in charge of the dominican sisters, sit
uated about half a mile from Sparkill,
Rockland county, were burned early
Monday morning
All of the children were taken out
alive, but two little tots, Helen Brown,
aged years, and Emma Mackin, aged
years, died of eonvulsions after they
had been rescued. An aged woman
nurse known as Jane, is supposed to
have pershed in the building, and
Theresa Murphy, 1G years old, moni-
tor, and Kate Mccarthy are known
to be dead. This makes five dead
in ALL so far as known. The
Murphy girl escaped with the rest of
tie inmates, but went back to save a
baby and perished. About 20 were
badly injured, including two of the
sisters.
George A. MARITIME, of Sparkill, one
of those who first discovered the fire,
.telephoued to Nyaclt for assistance.
Mazeppa engine company res onded
from that place. Eight doctors also
went to the asy um from NyaclS
A request for aid was also telephoned
to Piedmont.
Empire Engine Co. was dispatched
from Piedmont to the scene of the fire
Piedmont is this side of Nyacls, and
both engines, with their compliments
of fire fighters, arrived at about the
same time.
Eight doctors also went to the fire
from NyacS to give relief to the in
jured.
Special trains over the New Jersey
Northern railroad were rushed to the
nearest railroad station. The asylum
was situated between Sparkill and
Orangeburg.
Although the services of the fire ap-
paratus from neighboring places had
been promptly rendered, the engines
arrived too late to be effective in saw
ing life or property.
The fire started on the upper floor of
the three-story building. Nearly 300
of the occupants of the convent occu-
pied rooms on this floor, and all the
dormitories were lighted with kero-
sene lamps.
At the time of discovery the fire had
made such progress that the sisters
could not awake the hundreds of chill
dren under their charge, marshal them
in order and march them from the
building, as was their practice at fire
drills
In all there were 326 children, of
whom 60 were girls, in the insti-
tuition when the fire broke out. The
fire was the third that has occurred in
st. Agnes convent in a short time.
Whether or not they were of incendi-
airy origin has never been determined,
but the fact that the fire started in
three separate places convinces the au-
thori,ies that the circumstances are
suspicious enough to demand an nves-
tigation.
The property loss is estimated at
500, 600.

After Four Days of Wrangllng the
Convention Gets to Work.
PittskuTg, Jan, l4-Not until the NTH
day did the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America get down to
business. and even yesterday not much
was accomplished because of the
tediOusness Of balloting The principal
features of the days proceedings were
the reading of reports and appointment
of committees Balloting for officers
proceeded throughout the day as fast
as the oredential committee reported
delegates eligible to vote. The result
will probably be reported today. There
is no doubt OF the election of the slated
candidates, as there is no opposition.
The report of President Ratchford
was a review of the work of the year.
He took occasion to serve notice that
he has not retired from active work
for the organization. He says: "In
this regard suffer me to say that my
retirement from office means in no
sense the severance az my connection
with you or your constituency or my
retirement from the labor movement.
1t simply contemplates my removal
into another fieE of labor where your
interests are discussed and considered
and will need protection, ana in which
| hope to render you greater service
than ever before, You may always be
assured that my voice and pen shall
be ever ready to defend you in the
future as In the past In all things hon
| orable and fair"

special to EVENING HERALD.
Pottsville Jan 14-The Democratic
County Committee met in Union hall this
morning to organize and elect officers There
was good attendance and the meeting was a
very harmonious one, although some spirit
was manifested in the contest for County
Secretary, the bosses making a combined but
unsuccessful fight against John E. Doyle, of
Cass township.
County Chairman J. w Meyer presided at
the meeting until he was placed in nomina-
tion for reelection to his position, Represen-
tatv, William Anderson, of Morea, taking
the chair while the ballot was being taken.
sheriff Toole was Mr. Meyer S opponent. The
latter was elected by vote of 81 to 81.
John + Doyle and Representative J. W.
Noeckler, of North Mannheim, were nomin-
ated for County Secretary and Doyle won by
the narrow margin of two majority. He re-
ceiyed IS votes and Noeckler a.
Considerable interest was manifested in the
election Of chairman and secretary, inas-
much as the majority of the officers on the
hill will be chosen this year. namely
Treasurer Prothonotary, Register, Clerk Of
the Courts, Recorder, three County Com
missioners, Poor Director and probably a
District Attorney. Aspirants for these
positions were especially interested in the
selection of chairman.
The election Of Meyer and Doyle as chair
man and secretary respectively was com
plete knock k-out for that faction Of the
Democratic party lead by Judge w. A. Mari,
who made strong effort TO control the
organization. The selection is looked upon
as a victory for the silver wing of the party,
notwithstanding the fact that Meyer deserted
the Bryanites in the last county convention

From the Miners Journal.
Mine Inspector Stein has been vigorously
prosecuting much needed reform in the
sixth anthracite district in the matter OF
holding COroner's inquests. Several weeks
ago he notified the deputy coroner of Maha.
noy City that an inquest was unnecessary in
the death of man, who had been injured in
the mines, This week he served similar
notice on the deputy coroner of Shenandoah,
Both we're cases where the causes of the acci.
dent were easily traced and no blame could
be attached to anyone. From the course
taken by Inspector Stein it would seem that
the deputy coroners in his district have been
holding inquests on all fatal accidents, with
out first learning whether there was any
necessity. The result has been that the
county has been paying out money that could
have been saved to the taxpayers if the
coroner had been more careful. The State
Bureau of Mines furnishes blanks for the
coroner's use and there is a chance to save
money TO the county if they are used.
