Many of tho inmates, children, woro burned and suffocated, it was rojwrled early tills morning. The exact number of the dead could not bo told at .'1:15 a. m., when tho first dispatches reached this city, (ieorgo A. Martino, of Spark ill, ono of those who llrst discovered tho firo, telephoned to Nyaek for assistance. Mnzuppa engine company responded from that place. Kight Doctorsalso went to the asylum from Xvack. A reouest for aid was telephoned to l'ledmont, Kmplro ongino compnny was dispatched from Piedmont to thu scene of tho llro. Piedmont is this side of Nyack, and lioth enginos, with their complement! of tiro lighters, arrived at about tho same time. Tho asylum, which is conducted by tho Sisters of Morcy, held about 1000 children. It was a long, frame building, three stories high. Tho Are was not discovered until tho whole building was ouo mass of llamus. The children hud scant chance for es cape.

Although the service froni-tho (Ire de partments from.uoighlioriug places had (won promptly rondarod, tho engines ur ried too Into to Ihi effective in saving life or projiorty. The fire started on tho upper floor of tho three story building. Nourly .'WO occupants of tho convent occupied rooms on this floor, and all tho dormi tories were lighted with kerosene lumps. There is Ifttlo doubt that the tiro was caused by tho oxplosiou of ono of thorn lumps. The fire spread rapidly upward and burned through tho shingle roof of thu building In two plucax. At the time oftliB discovery tho lire hud madu such prograas that the slaters eould not awake the hundreds of their children under tliolr care, marshal them in order and march them from the building, as was their practleu at II ru drill.
