WAKING ONLY TO DIE,

Burning of the Immaculate Conception Institute at Belleville, HI.

Twentyseteu Girls and Nuns Perish Terrible Scenes.

Bcllcvillo 011.) teloRram.1 Tlio Urea of twenty-seven women wero loat by tho burning; of tlio Immaculate Conception Convent at this place. Many others were injured more or less severely by Juintitrig from tho windows of tlio third or fourth story to tbo frozen (rround beneath. It Is not known exactly litlw thti flfo started. Tho first report was that it originated in the third story, which was used as a dormitory. An at tempi was made by the Sisters to extinguish it, but without success. Tlio latest and nWt prohabe theory is that it brokv out near the boiler in (ho In-cmcnt. tV011 'I wan Ilrst discovcroil tho floor iiliovo was abl7o and volumes oi smoke were rollin r up and tilliiiff the stui r iiys, hulls, and corridors of the lmildlit'rr. By the time the r!tpiti(r in mates weio thorouirb'y nfcuigoJ nil nrenuos of ojeuyc seemed to 1-e cut off by hlinilinir smoke and rnuie.j. Then a panic enst ed, nttended by xo. fo heurlrendiiigr t'mt even tho IinaeinuCnn enn sentely pietnro them. Forty or more of tho pupiH and teachers, in splo of the terror unci will contuson, succeeded In truttlnit out of the bnildtnit tinbormed, and wtr irlvt'n shelter from tbe icy wind in ueiohbor'nir houses. Their comininioiiH wero far Iof8 fortunnto. .Many remained in tliednrinltoi-y, and, rendered helpless by l'risrht, p.-rlshed without uiahliur an attempt loescaie. (itlier rushed to tho windows, and. applied at tbo prosi.e.H of leaplnr to an almost tertain dentb, drew back and were either suffocated by tlio thick smoke or died in the tlaines. Some, bnivor than tho rest, julnl)ol from tho upper windows mid wore cither killed or badljinjured. Miss Mary Campbell, a teacher, of F.ast Hi. I.ouis. hajM-d from ihc third story and died in a few minutes. Another, whoso name was not aertaiued, climbed to tho roof aud either fell or was Mown oft". She was fatally Injured. The fire spread w.th great rapidity, and the flro department was of little avail. The extreme cold retarded the work of the firemen, and even if they could have reached tbe scene without delay they could have been of but little service in resculnr the victims. Tbero are no ladders In the flro department, and no provisions for such a deplorable ctr.eiBoncy had Icon made liv the innnaircrtf of tho convent. The unfortunate inmates were, therefore, unable to help themselves, and t'nos who wero witnesses of tho horrible holocaust wero powerless to help them. The streets iu the vicinity woro thronged with people anxious to be of service. Thoy eculd do nothing: but stand and look on or listen In silence to the appeals of torror-st'iekeu parents rushing frantically around loolc'n? for their children or walling over their supposed loss. Within an hour from tho lime tbe flro was discovered tho famous Convent of the lmruaculato Conception was reduced to ashes ana a few charred and broken walls. As soon as iKissiblp tho work ot recovering the remains of victims was begun. Tbo tremen poured water cn tho ruins until daybreak, eo as to quench tbo embers and preserve In rueognlablo shape the bodies of the unfortunate women. Then volunteers wc ro called for, and during tho day a largo force of meu wore at work Iu the ruins. It was a terrible sight. At ttmo3 the searchers would find two or three charred masses huddled toyeihrr, seemingly seeking each other's prutcc ion from the advancing Dames. Two loln-i wcr- found in the rear part of tbe building, burned into an unrecognizable mass, but tho majority wero found beneath where tho dayinitory was s.'taated. Thoy seemed to havo sought shelter in this room when they recognized that escape was impossible The flames beneath, eating away tho supports, let down the floor with those upon it Into tho teething- vortex of Arc and smoke. The pupil boardo.-s and tliree Sisters slept on the fourth ileor; on the third floor

the remaining sisters slept, and on the floor above the basement the orphans and halforphans slept. Those on this floor escaped. The following is a list of tbo killed, missing, and injured, ns far as is known:
