FATAL FIRE IN O1PHINAGE.
Four Lives Thought to Be Lost
at SparkhII, N. Y.
TWO OF THE INJURED MAY DIE.
Heroic Dominican Sisters Seriously Hurt
In Saving the Children Under Their
Charge-Frame Buildings Offer Lite
Obstruction to the Fire.

New York, Aug. 29.-The entire
group of buildings, with the exception
of the hospital, which comprised the
convent of St. Agnus and orphanage in
charge Of the Dominican Sisters, sit
uated about half a mile from Spark
hill, Rockland county, were burned ear
ly today, and as far as is known, three
lives were lost and many were injured,
two of whom will probably die.
The fire started in the lavatory at
the northwest corner of the group OF
buildings, nine in number. 1t soon
communicated to building No. l, which
was occupied by the Older boys. The
lads were quickly awakened and
rushed to building No. 2, and in this
manner word was quickly passed
through the nine buildings, and the
sisters in charge of each soon had all
the occupants of the dormitories out OF
bed. Along the back of the building
a covered archway extended the entire
length Of the structure, and from this
archway the entrances to the several
buildings opened. The fire ate its way
with extraordinary swiftness through
this arched hallway, which acted as a
flue, and the flames were famed by
northwest breeze which forced them
onward in their destructive sweep.
Sister Marie Is severely burned. and
Sister Catharine had an arm broken.
Sister Sienna, who assisted in the work
of rescue, showing wonderful courage,
collapsed after the children were got
out and remained unconscious for sew
eral hours.
Sister Agnes, who climbed out OF
fourth-story window, had miraculous
escape from injury and possible death.
After climbing out of the window she
took hold of the swinging shutter, and
after swinging herself free of the
building dropped to the ground and
alighted without apparent injury.
The work of getting the children out
of the building was heroically per-
formed by the sisters in charge, ably
assisted by some nurses and monitors
as we'll as many of the oder boys. The
alarm Of fire was sent by telephone to
the nearest towns, but when the fire
company from Piermont arrived all but
the hospital had been demolished.
The list of dead includes:
THERESA MURPHY, 16 years old, a
monitor.
HELEN BROWN, aged 6.
EMMA MACKIN, aged Z.
A woman nurse named Jane is miss
ing and is supposed to have persisted in
| the building.
Kate Mccarthy, a servant, who is
suffering from shock, will probably
die.
The Murphy girl escaped with the
rest of the inmates, but went back to
save a baby and persisted.
Six of the sisters jumped from the
! second, third and fourth floors of the
buildings, but only one OF them was
dangerously injured. This is Sister
Bertrade, who is suffering from con-
cussion of the spine.
In all there were 326 children, OF
whom sixty were girls, in the institu-
ton when the fire broke out. There
were also forty sisters in charge, un-
der the direction OF Reverend Mother
Peters.
About twenty-five Of the children re-
ceived injuries, none of which the doc
tors think will prove fatal.
The property loss is 100000.

PROFITABLE INSTITUTE.
Continued from Last Week

Continued from Last Week
More than four hundred people
crowded INTO the hall last night as an
especially interesting program had been
prepared, and every one was anxious to
be present. Every seat was taken and
many stood in the aisles. They were re-
paid, however, for last evenings session
was the most interesting held.
M. McMannis. OF Vernon, contributed a
vocal solo, ''The Holy City," after which
Prof. E. T. Austin, of the Owosso
schools, spoke upon "The Proper Rela-
ton OF the City and Country Schools"
There was little to be said directly under
this head, 80 Mr.. Austin gave talk on
general topics which was as timely as it
was interesting, an intellectual treat
which those present fully appreciated.
Prof. Austin began by stating that he
was in sympathy with the farmer, for
farm had been his home until he went
away to school at the age of nineteen.
He has never forgotten his early affec-
ton, and declared that were he not en-
gagged in educational work today, the
farm would be his home.
"The school system of Michigan" con-
tinued Mr.. Austin, lis arranged so that
the University shall be, OF course, the
browning feature. Next in order is the
high school, and then the graded school.
The common school is the product of the
century and this country.
"The country and city schools cannot
be identical. Their methods are neces-
sarily little dssimilar, and as a result
country school students lack something
the city scholar has, but he more than
makes it up in others. They lack thor
ough knowledge OF history and language,
but their observational powers are bet
ter and sharper. They may be little
more difident, but soon acquire self-con.
fdence in the class room.
"The faults of the curriculum Of the city
and country schools are identical.
think too much arithmetic is taught for
the comparatively slight use we put it to
IN after life. Years ago well educated
man was supposed to have knowledge
OF reading, writing and arithmetic.

Stanley Bigelow, of Corunna, who gave
Aunt Cornelia's visit as an encore.
The next number which was the second
and last paper on the afternoons program
was entitled ''COnsecrated Percentage" and
was read by Mrs Belle M. Perry, of
Charlotte. The thoughts expressed In this
paper were not only beautiful in them
selves, but were of unusual value to young
mothers. Although prepared to be- read
before women only 1t Is a pity that the
thoughts and principles set forth In the
paper could not be put before every wife
and mother In the county while 1t is at
least an open question II the community
would not be better IL the thoughts were
brought clearly before every husband and
father as WE'LL The discussion of the paper
was led by Mrs. M. W. West, of Vernon.
The question box which occupied the at
tentiOn of the ladies during the remainder
of the session was In charge of Mrs. r. d.
Clark. The first question, what would you
do with children who persisted In going
astrayP was answered by Mrs. Perry, who
thought II children had the right training
at home from the first, they would not
wander in forbidden paths. The second
question relative to the method by which
farmers can avail themselves of the state
library was explained by Mrs. Perry.
OF the 1853 ladies present nearly all
voted to have a women's section at the
round up institute to be held in Owossc
next year. Mrs. F. d. Clark, of Vernon,
was elected chairman for the year. The
session then closed by singing, "God be
With You Till we Meet Again." and the
ladies returned to the opera house where as
many as could gain admission listened to
the dlscu ssion of the sugar beet industry.
