Defective Furnace Fired Building, Fire Escapes Were Inadequate, Panic Ensued and All Avenues of Escape Were Barred by
 Piled-Up Bodies.

Cleveland. O.-Penned in narrow railways. jaSlmed up against doors that opened Inward, between 160 and TO children in the suburb of North Collinwood were killed by fire, by smoke and beneath the grinding heels of the panie-stricken playmates.
 The awful tragedy occurred Wednes- day morning in the public school at North Collinwood, a suburb of Cleye- land At 10 o'clock Wednesday night 165 corpses were in the morgue at Collinwood, six children were still un- accounted for and all the hospitals and houses for two miles around con tained a number of children, some fa- tally and many less seriously injured
 All of the victims were between the ages of 6 and IF years.
 The school contained between BIO and 320 pupils, and of this number. only about so are known to have left the building unhurt.
 It will be several days before the exact number of killed is known, as the ruins may still contain other bod ies. and the list of fatalities may be Increased by a number of deaths among the children who are now ly- ing in the hospitals, lowering between life and death.
 The schoolhouse was a brick, two stories and an attic in height. The number of pupils was more than nor mally large and the smaller children had been placed in the upper part of the building. There was but one fire escape and that was in the rear of the building. There were two stair ways, enc leading to a door in front and another to a door in the rear, both of these doors opening inward, and, 1t is claimed. the rear door was locked as we'll
 When the flames were discovered, the teachers. who throughout seem to have acted with courage and self-pos- session and to have struggled heroical ly for the safety of their little pupils, marshaled the little ones into column for the fire drill,' which they had often practiced.
 tit iiut OI nldTCn III this exercise always led to the front door and the children had not been trained to seek any other exit. The fire came from a furnace situated di rectly under this part of the building. When the children reached the foot of the stairs, they found the flames close upon them and so swift a rush was made for the door that in an in stant a tightly packed mass of chil- dren was piled up against it. From that second. none of those who were upon any portion of the first flight of stairs had a chance for their lives.
 What happened at the foot of that first flight of stairs will never be known, for all of those who were caught in the full fury of the panic were killed.
 Miss Catherine Weller. one of the nine teachers in the school, lost her life in vain effort to marshal the pu- pills of her class and lead them to safety She died in the crush at the rear door
