CHILDREN BURNED
TO DEATH
Fire Destroys Sc, -. ling for
Colored at Z. -. lie.

An Ashevillc dispatch of the 18th
states that five children are dead, two
of them unidentified; three are miss
ing and eight were severely burned
as t.e result of disastrous fire, of
unknown origin, which destroyed the
Catholic Hill school for colored chill
dren shortly after noon Friday.
The fire which started in the fur
mace room of the school building was
discovered an hour after the children
had returned to their desks from fire
drill. But it had made great head
way before discovery, and when the
children sought to escape from their
respective rooms the halls and corri-
doris were being swept with flames
from below. The teachers, it is stat
ed, lost all control of the frightened
pupils, many of whom escaped by
jumping from the windows.
Children on the first and second
floors appear to have escaped unhurt
all of the reported casualties beire
confined to the third floor of the
building. One little girl, it is stated
lost her life when she ran back irte
the burning building to get new
coat which she had forgotten in he1
flight. Scenes around the building
during and after the fire were heart
rending.
The greater part of the colored pop
ulation of the city rushed to the seen,
and parents having children 1T tn
school were restrained with difficul
ty from entering the burning build
ing. Some of the victims bodies wer
SO badly burned as to be unrecogniz
