Six Nuns Die in Flames.

Sacrificing their lives to rescue 81
orphan children in their charge, six
Sisters of Charity persisted in fire
that destroyed st. Johns Orphanage
in San Antonio, Tex. One baby fell to
it's death with Mary of the Cross,
mother superior of the institution, who
left her place of safety in a vain eff
fort to save the child. Another or
phan is missing, and it is feared it did
not escape.
Flames broke out in the building
early morning. Reused from their
sleep the nuns marshalled their
charges to fire escapes, remaining at
their posts until flames barred the
way to safety. Two of the sisters,
Kostka Farrell and Monica Montez,
were killed by jumping.
Three sisters escaped. Instructed to
pilot the first column of frightened
children out of danger, they gained
the ground in time to escape the crash
of falling walls.
The children owe their lives to the
initial daring and self-sacrifice of the
nuns.

NORTHUMBERLAND LAW

In Michigan are going to do relative
to compensation paid employees in
jured while in the employ of the
municipality.
There has recently been called to
the attention of the board two acct
dents from Detroit where men were
injured while in the employ of the
city. One was employed In the col
lection division of the garbage de-
partment, the other injured while in
the employ of the department of
public works. The state board has
been appealed to In both cases and
the injured workmen have been given
the information desired by the board.
and 1t is now up to the city to allow
the necessary compensation. The
law plainly reads that all cities
counties, incorporated villages, town.
ships and school districts come under
the law and that persons employed
by them, when injured. are liable for
compensation.
All employers who have made any
kind of a settlement with employees
GU Wullc III tnci cIuPlOy, al .
required under the law to make a
report of such settlement to the
state board. This is not being done
by some employers and in other
cases where settlements are made and
sent to the board for approval, dis
crepancies are found all the way
from three cents to 81. The board
does not regard these errors as will
full on the part of the employer, but
It is evident that neither the en-
ployer or employee has yet a thor
ough understanding Of the workings
of the new law and the board is
very anxious that they should seek
information when in doubt. The
board has had printed 5000 more cop
les of the law, which are ready for
distribution. In addition to this the
board has had prepared $4,000 copies
of information to employees, and these
are ready for distribution.
There seems to be an impression on
the part Of employers as well as en-
ployes that when a settlement is
effected In case Of an injury to an
employee that the matter ends there.
Such is not the case, as report of
all settlements must be forwarded to
the state board at Lansing and APP
