VICTIMS OF FLAMES.
Many Children Probably Perished by
the Burning OF a Catholic Com
vent In New York.

Nyack, N. Z, Aug. 2S.---W ord has just
been received that ST. AIMS convent
at Sparkill, in Rockland county,
was burned at one o'clock this morning
and that a large number Of inmates lost
their lives. Most of them were chill
dren. Aid was asked for by telephone
from this city and Piermont. The CON
vent is located near the town, and the
flames were seen at one o'clock by
George A. Martin, who has the only
telephones in Sparkhill. An engine and
eight doctors were dis patched from this
city at once.
tt is impossible to learn at present
how many persons have been burned
to death. There were more than 500
children and at least $50 grown persons
in the convent. Large numbers of the
children are said to be missing and
many are known to have persisted in the
flames. The fire spread with such great
rapidity that most of the inmates had
no possible chance to escape.
The scenes at the confagration were
heartrending. The children, clad in
their night robes, could be seen falling
backward in to the furnace of flame and
smoke, while the. shrieks of the dying
could be heard above the crackle of the
deyouring flame.
Some Of the children were crippled
for life by jumping from the windows.
Many of the sisters also were injured,
while others lost their lives heroically
while trying. to rescue their charges.
+ The fire started on the upper floor OF
the three-story building. Nearly 300
b of the occupants of the convent occu-
pied rooms on this floor, and all the
dormitories were lighted with kerosene
lamps. There is little doubt that the
fire was caused by the explosion of one
of these lamps. The fire spread rapidly
upward and burned through the shingle
roof of the building in two places.
