children as soon as they were taken out were
conveyed to other hospitals and nelshborng
residences.

kitchen from an unknown cause. and rapidly
communicated with the upper stories OF the
building through a dumpwaiter shaft which eX-
tended to the roof. The blaze was discovered by
one of the nuns. who noticed smoke pouring
from the shaft and soon afterward the flames
broke out in the third story. where large num-
her of children were lying i'll in bed. The Sisters
bent every effort to rescus their charges, anG

struction of the building. which has number
of wings the fire could not easily spread far pc
yond the portion where it originated, ana the
greater part of the building was saved. Inc
water damage, however. is CONSIDERABLE. Inc
