FARNHAM. Quebec, Oct 26.- Five are known dead and 30 others are missing as the result of a fire which completely destroyed the St.. Elizabeth's hospital here early this morning. Twenty-Five children were injured by jumping from windows. There were $50 asleep in the build- ing when the fire broke out. The origin of the blaze is still unac- counted for.
 Owing to the great number of pa- tients in the hospital and the se- riousness of many eases a full corp of no nurses and 20 Sisters were on duty during the night. At S;SO o'clock this morning smoke began pouring through the elevator shafts in both parts of the building and 1t was discovered that the basement was @ mass of flames.
 The alarm was sounded and the entire fire department and hun dreds of others quickly were upon the scene. Scores of rolling chairs were pressed into service, patients were quickly transferred from beds to the chairs and taken to safety, but as the flames spread. certain cor riders were cut of. Those able to care for themselves did. The chil- dren appeared to become panic stricken. as the flames were cutting of their exits the nurses and femen commanded them to jump into the nets which were spread below. Many children were taken down the ladders but as the structure burned with such rapidity, even this avenue Of escape was soon lost.
 Nurses and Sisters worked in the most heroic manner and today over two score are under the care of phy- siciars suffering from severe burns.
