The Earlier Story


Farnham, Que, Oct. 26.--Fiye persons
are known to be dead and fifteen 9TH
ers are missing as the result of fire
and laundry during the night.
Twenty five or more children were
injured by jumping from windows.
Three hundred and fifty inmates were
asleep in the building when the fire
broke out and many of these are unac-
counted for.
Several other dwellings adjacent were
badly damaged by water and smoke.
About twenty five children are lying
badly injured through jumping to the
stone pavement from the third story
windows.
The fire is believed to have started
from a defective chimney. 1t spread
so swiftly that the $50 inmates were
unable to reach safety before many of
them were maroOned by the flames.
Patients and employees fought in wild
attempts to gain exits from the build
ing.
Startling revelations are promised
when an investigation is begun, for the
fire escapes are said to have always
proved defective in emergencies and
many of the deaths and injuries are
attributed to the fact that these aven-
ues of escape were quickly blocked.
The twenty five or more children
who were injured flung themselves
from the third story windows to the
pavement below when ii was found no
stairway was available for their de-
scent.
Nearly all inmates Of the building
were asleep on the third floor.

TWENTY-SEVEN DEAD
AND MANY MISSING
$50 In Building Find Fire
Escapes Blocked
Jump From Windows

Farnham, Que, Oct. 26.-At l o'clocl,
today it was reported that at least 27
lives had been lost in the fire which had
destroyed the Roman Catholic hospital
at st. Elizabeth hall and stables during
the night.
Twenty persons were injured in jump
ing from the upper stories, about doz-
en- of them children. The fact that sur
vivors are scattered in homes all over
the town makes the work of compiling a
list of the missing difficult.
When the fire broke out there were
3lS persons in the building, the major
ity of whom We're children. They were
saved by heroic work on the part of the
firemen and citizens.
Yesterday morning firemen were call
ed to the same institution when a fire
broke out in the basement, 1t is now
thought this must have broken out again
last evening with such disastrous re-
suits.
The loss is estimated at $250,000 with
about $4,000 insurance.
