is OVERCOME

WEST CHESTER, Pa. March 3d.
Fire last night, starting in loose wood
hesped under heater in the basement
OF the rear portion OF villa Maria Con-
vent, Sisters OF The Immaculate Heart,
here. caused great excitement among
the three hundred small BOYS Of the
school. who are quartered there, but
all were gotten out safely by the SIS
ters In charge.
The basement IS used as a carpenter
shop and the boys were taught wood
work there while another adjoining
portion housed a portion OF the heat
ing furnaces. The FIRE spread rapidly
10 the carpenter shop. which was
filled with infamsble material and the
blaze gave the flremen hard work for
an hour before It was extinguished,
the basement being flooded by pump
lines.
A large amount OF material was de-
stroyed as well as tools and other fur
nishings. and the loss viii be about
S2 500 al least
Above the carpenter shop was the
gymnasium, but the flremen prevented
the flames from reaching this by hard
work. The flre was discovered by
boys leaving for another building.
where a portion Of them have their
dormitories Much delay was caused
by poor telephone connections.
One fireman, Harold Peoples, %. OF
No. 4 Company, was overcome by
smoke in the basement. but rescued by
other nremen and revived after half
an hour.
