Twenty-Six Children and

TWELVE OTHERS INJURED
The Fire Caused by an Explosion Of
Natural Gas. --Pathe.ic Scenes At.
tend the Great Tragedy.

IsOOliCsCI, LN WOnly -CASh
dead bodies lie at the morgue ant
twelve others more or less seriously
injured lie at the different hospitals
in the city, as a result of the terrible
holocaust which. occurred Tuesday
morning at the Rochester orphan
asylum. OF the dead 26 were children
of both sexes, ranging in age from
two to fourteen years, while the re-
naming two were adults The fire
was doubtless caused by an explosion
of natural gas in the boiler room, adj
joining the west wing of the asylum,
spread so rapidly that many of the
100 inmates of the institution were
overcome by the flames and smoke
almost without warning. A correct
and revised list of the dead follows
Arthur Kelly, Gladys Hill, Ger
trude Toner, Bertha Hall, Viola
Stuck, Lillian Stone, Mildred Solcum,
Mary Alexander Helen Hamilton,
Hazel Murray, Minnie Tiffany, Myrtle

lum, Mrs. Martha Gillis, nurse.
In all the longcand dismal record of
fatal fires in Rochester, none can be
found which can equal this one in its
general horror, in the pathetic scenes
in which so many lives were blotted
out in the gallant sacrifice of lives
of the attendants in whose care the
children were left and in the sad
scenes at the hospitals and morgue.
That so many children were saved
from the west wing of the building
seems little short of miraculous and
when the ruins were visited later one
marveled that the death roll was not
even larger. The scenes following al
most Immediately upon the discovery
of the fire and the accompanying ex-
plosion was one which turned the
stoutest hearts sick. The windows of
the west wing We're filled with terri
fed faces of the tiny! waits. Work
ing like men possessed, the firemen
struggled to release them from their
perilous position. The rooms of the
dormitory were filled with the smoke
of the fire and the little ones were
being slowly suffocated. Most of
those rescued were lowered to the
ground by means of ladders from the
second and third stories.
The ambulances from every hospit-
al in the city reached the scene al
most as soon as the fire department,
but they proved totally inadequate in
providing for those rescued Many
sufferers and the dead were removed
to the houses in the immediate neigh
borhood. There We're awful scenes
around the asylum at this time. Most
of those rescued from the building
were unconscious from the effects of
smoke. 1t soon became apparent that
the building was doomed. A genera
alarm was sent in and the entire fire
department was soon on the scene.
The fire was stubbornly fought from
every available point, but it was oven
an hour after its discovery before it
was under control.

 The cardinals declaration says the British parliament. alone of all the parliaments of the world, declares two sacred Catholic doctrines are ''super- stitious and idolatrous'' They are held sacred by 100000 of the kings subjects and besides the Roman church and the Greek and Western communi- fies.
 The cardinal says he brought the matter to the attention of a cabinet minister, three years ago. who told him the government would not take uD tue subject. After the queens death he wrote 8 letter to the king "couched in terms of fidelity and dictated alike for conscience and loyalty" The car dina1 does not say whether he received reply. The cardinal commands the Catholic peers protest ana nopes "this remnant of hateful fanatacism will Boon be removed"

WRITES OF THE RESULT.
Dr Wright Searching Asia for Evi.

pr Wright Searching Asia for Evi-
 dence That Deluge Covered Earth.
 New York, Feb 25.-Letters have just been received here from the Rev Dl. George Frederick Wright, the au- thority OF the glacial period and Ribll- cal geology, telling of the results of his search in Asia for evidences that the deluge covered the whole earth.
 Dr Wright secured q leave of ab- Sence from Oberiin Ohio. university. and sailed for Japan early last year. He went at once to Siberia and began his work. His son accompanied him as an assistant. The professor went all through Siberia. and then proceed ed to Syria via the Ural and Caucasus mountains. In letter received iu New York last week from him at .Je rusalem. Professor Wright said
 The account of the flood in the Bible is not such as to lead Us to eN pect much direct geological evidence of it. 4 suDmergence of a year. say eral thousand years ago. would leave few signs which are not obliteratea by time.
 ''The Bible history stands on it's own merits and has independent value. The main question of geological interest is: Are there insuperaDle objections 10 the account? The answer to ;hiS question turns upon the geological theories con cerning the possible or probable rate at which changes of land levels may procede.
 .'Iycll'S theory of unifOrmitarianism has been pushed too far and has had too much influence in discrediting the theory of geological cataStroDhes. Pro lessor Prestwich's great work on geology does much to counteract tl:e errors of Lyell and his followers.
 "CataStrophaS comparable to the flood are not strange things in geoio- %y. The glacial period was connected with a series of catastropheS. I have travelled POGO miles in Asia 10 find evidences of the glacial period and have found none. There was no gen- eral slaciation of eastern and central Asia. as there was of America and Europe.
 But I have found indfsputable evi- dence of an extensive submergence of the land extending to the base of Mount Araart and that this submer gence took place subsequent to the ap- pearance of man on the earth. The Russian geologists have recently found remains of man deep down in the de- posits connected with this period of submergence.
 'The enc point of certainty is that since mans appearance there has been q period of instability in the earth's crust ill northern and central Asia. which shows that the Biblical account of the flood is an entirely credible story"
