MainDulding ofN.J.Catho-
lie Institution DESTROYED.
Fire Drill and Quick Work by
Staff Saves Students.
Loss Estimated at Over $500, 900
Building Was Show Place.

Plainfield, y. J.. March 2.-The main
building Of st. Mary's College, q large
and we'll equipped Roman Catholic in
stitution ON Watching mountain near
here, was burned early today. entail
ing loss of more than 100000 The
nearly $50 students and Sisters in the
structure got out in safety.
The building is n four story stone
structure and the fire, which started
from some unknown cause on an upper
floor, spread rapidly. but the excellent
discipline established enabled the Sis.
tcrs to assemble the pupils speedily by
the fire drlll system and march them
out iii order and without n mishap.
There was more difficulty in removing
several of the Sisters who were i'll.
but qnick work by the staff of the in
stitution effected their rescue.
The school is attended by some 200
pupils. young girls and small boys,
mostly from wealthy families in cities
all over this section. About two score
Sisters were attached to the institu-
ton as instructors and in various ca
pacities. The structure was a show
place of the vicinity owing to its COM
manding site, picturesque surround
ings and architectural excellence. and
was fitted out in the best of modern
style.
The fire seems to have gotten under
good headway before it was discover
ed and attempts to save the building
then We're almost useless as the dis
tance from fire protection was too
great for the firemen to combat the
flames successfully on their arrival
The addition to the building. however,
which contained the kitchens. laun-
dries, etc. was saved.
There was little chance to save any.
thing and the loss to the pupils from
the burning of their effects will doubt
less he heavy. The students who were
marched out into the cold scantily clad
found temporary shelter in nearby
buildings. The college moved here
from Bordentown about four years ago,
when the building burned today was
erected.
