Seventeen helpless, en; 1 . hildreu, inmates in-mates of the i stltutioii, bi-i their lives, and twenty otiie, lersons were injured, some of them badly, iLt most of theiu slightly. Two hundrld and forty. six patients and thirty mB-sesileepingin twn four story buildings, build-ings, in whicjj the institute is located, were in immediate danger of their lives. Their rescue, the light w ith the flames, and the llual discovery of the dead cluMi e;i make a story rarely parailed. At it :30 o'ci'pek this morning nineteen dead bodies had besir recovered. Si. me were killed by juujpfng, but otliere weir suffocated suffo-cated or burued to death. The list as identified iden-tified is: Iuma Pyn, aged 17, of Dexter, Mo. ; Mixnie A8N0LDj aged 17, of Lancaster, Missouri; Willi.', a Easucii, aged !'., of Milwaukee; Milwau-kee; : Mrs. E.

When tic' fire department arrived the crip pies were seeu in every window. Their heartrending cries were terrible. Heroic deeds of rescue rere performed and for two hours the delusion was entertained that all the inmates were saved. Soon after 2 o'clock, when the tiro was nearly subdued, the police and firemen went into tho building and found in one room a mass of roasted humanity. There were seven persons in that mass alone. Nearly all of the bodies were found in the Georgia street annex. The list of dead is further swollen by four who died from injuries received in leaping from windows. Identification is almost impossible, im-possible, nfany of the dead being charred beyond be-yond recojj nitiou.
