ORPHAN ASYLUM FIRE
Many Children Burned to
Death at Sparkill, N. Y.
CAUSED BY A LAMP EXPLOSION
Flames Spread SO Rapidly That There
Was Little Chance Of Esosps
for the Inmates.

Nyack, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Fire was
discovered IN the large boys and giils'
orphan asylum connected with st.
Anne's convent. at SparkhiIl, Rock.
land county, at / A. NJ, today. but not
before the entire structure. frame
building, was wrapped in flames.
Many of the inmates, children, were
burned and suffocated, II was reported
sarly this monring. The exact num-
Der Of the dead could not be told at
,:i6 A. NJ, when the fret dispatches
reached this city.
The asylum, which is conducted by
the Sisters OF Mercy. held about / 900
children. 1t was long frame build
ing, three stories high.
The fire was not discovered until the
whole building was one mass of flames.
The children had scant chance for es.
cape. Special trains over the New
Jersey Northern road were ruahe d to
the nearest railroad station.
The asylum was situated between
sparkhill and Orangeburg.
The scenes at the confiagration were
heartrendIng. The children clad in
their nightrahes. could be seen falling
backward into the flames and smoke,
while the shrieks OF the dying could be
heard above the crackle Of the deyour-
ing flames. Some of the children were
crippled for life by jumping from the
windows. Many Of the sisters also
were injured, while others lost their
tives heroically while trying to rescue
their charges.
Although the service Of the fire de-
rartments from neiRhboring places had
been promptly rendered, the engines
arrived too late to be effective in saw
ing life or property.
The fire was caused by the explosion
OF kerosene lamp.

New York, Aug. 28.--The Tribune
says: Men whose opinions and yacht
ing knowledge arc respected and es-
tened declared yesterday that the
Shamrock was twisted in the midship
section and that towing had caused
strain whicl. has worked her plates. f"
One yachting expert who has built
yachts and has docked hundreds of
ships told Tribune reporter last even
ing that in the afternoon he was sur
prised, while looking at the English
cup challenger, to SEQ that she was
badly twisted in tile midship section.

continued, "to any one who knows
anything about the lines of a yacht
] fancod that detected the twist yes
terday afternoon. am sure OF it to-
DAY, as by tightening, the Shamrock is
much higher ont OF the water today
than size was yesterday. Naturally
towing caused the straining and made
the plates draw and on that account
believe the theory of leak ls quite
probable. II the yacht came over on
the port tack the tendency would be to
strain the bull to starboaTd, and sucli
strain wcnld undoubtedly cause the
plates on the port quarter to spring.
Others believe that the leak or strain
probably was the result OF tho acci-
dent which happened to the Shamrock
