 Body in September.

bUuy III SepleHlDeT.
 The committee of arrangements for the annual meeting of the National Pris- on association, which will begin in Hart ford September 23, held meeting in the board of trade room in that city Thurs day afternoon and considerable prelimi- nary work was transacted James w. Cheney was chairman of the meeting and F. c. Frisbie secretary.

still inside. As a matter of fact, as soon as the firemen arrived on the scene they began searching through the building to see that all the inmates were safe, As soon as Sister Aloysius appeared at her window on the west side of the building ladder was hoisted to the window without delay and she was not in the room. Then the thirty-five-foot ladder was quickly shifted to the win dow of the rear room, and Bremen Langdon and Smith mounted it and en-" tered the room. They found the smoke there so thick that it put their lanterns out and were only able to stay there a very short time, the stifiing smoke be- ing too thick for any human being to stand it long, especially fremen not equipped with modern smoke helmets.
 After Langdon and Smith left the room Hoseman William A. Miller of No. 1 entered the room, crawling on his hands and knees, thereby to escape tho worst of the smoke. Finally as he crawled along he found Sister Aloysius lying under a chair and some window blinds, and dragged her out from under the debris. As he was doing so Assist
 
 ing through adjoining rooms for the missing woman, came up and helped to carry her downstairs.
 Assistant Chief Perkins stated last night that when he arrived at the fire the alarm had not finished striking, but that the ladder had been already hoisted to the window of Sister Aloysius' room, the window at which she had appeared and called for help.
 Chief Fancher stated last night that if any one heard any of the firemen swearing at the fire, or noticed any con- duct on the part of the firemen which was not as it should be, he would be glad to know of it, and hoped that any one who had complaints to make would come to fire department headquarters with them. He said that if any state- ment of charges was made to the off, cials of the department 1t would be thor oughly investigated.

FTREHE.N ARE INDTGN4NT
Claim That the Charges of Tnefficiency ntthe Convent Fire Arc Urn foundel


 The funeral of Ellen Kennedy Sister Aloysius), the nun who was smothered in the Sacred Heart convent fire, will be held from Sacred Heart church this forenoon, with a requiem high mass at 10 o'clock. The intermeut will be in St. Bernard cemetery.
 The insinuations published in two of the afternoon papers yesterday that the firemen were. remiss in the performance of their duty at the convent fire, and that through their remissness Sister Aloysius was allowed to suffocate, have called forth the expression of much in- dignation in the fire department and from citizens who know how faithfully the firemen worked at the fire and who know that but for the efficient work of the department the entire convent would have been destroyed.
 Rev. Father Michael McKeon, pastor of the Sacred Heart church, whose par ish house nearly adjoins the convent at the rear, and who was at the scene of the fire, said last night when asked what he thought of the charge that the fremen had been slow and inefficient: 'I think that the firemen did all that they could do under the circumstances, and I do not think that a word of cen- sure can be fairly uttered against them. did not hear any of the firemen swear ing, as has been charged, nor did see anything which reflected in the least on them as firemen."
 The box from which the alarm was rung, No. 161, was three blocks away from the convent, when box 127 is only a block away. The alarm was not sent in until the fire had obtained a fierce start, and had it not been for a boy who ran to No. 1's house on Howard avenue and told the company there where the fire was, No. Is company would have gone on down Howard ave- nue to Putnam street, box 161 being To- cated at the corner of Putnam and Lib- ert ystreets and would have lost much a box so far away would be rung for fire in the vicinity of the convent.
 As it was, however, No. Is engine took up position at the corner by Sa- cred Heart church, and the other com- panies, as they arrived within a few blocks of the fire, could tell by the To- cation of engine No. i, working away, where the fire was.
 It was charged in the afternoon pa pers that the firemen were slow in get ting into the building to search for the nun after it was known that she was
