171 CHILDREN KILLED IN BURNING SCHOOL;
TRAMPLE ONE ANOTHER TO DEATH IN PANIC
Penned in by Flames and Jammed Against
Locked Door in Colllnwood (Ohio) School,
They Die in Sight of Helpless Parents.
Unable to Escape Till Too Late, They Fall in Heaps Hopelessly
Entangled—In Thirty Minutes Building Was Blackened
Ruin, Filled With Little Bodies—Panic Attended With
Scenes of Greatest Horror—Brave Teachers Stick to Their
Posts—Cause of Fire Unknown.
Cleveland, Ohio.—One hundred and seventy-one children, possibly
more, between the ages of six and fifteen, perished in a fire that destroyed
the Lakeview public school at Collinwood, a suburb of this city.
The disaster was attended by horrors unparalleled perhaps by any
like calamity. Scores of the children met a terrible death, while their par
ents and others strove in wild frenzy to drag them from the piled up
masses In which they had formed in their efforts to escape from the burn
ing building.
So tightly had.the children become wedged just inside the doors,
front and rear, that not one was disengaged and saved, and they died be
fore the eyes of those helpless to rescue them.
The front doors of the school house were locked when the fire started
in the basement and swept up the wooden stairways and through the
building, and it is evident that the children became massed inside in a
narrow passageway before workmen from the railroad car shops near by
were able to break down the doors.
The rear stairway was so narrow, and the spread of the flames was so
rapid that most of the children who trieS to escape that way were quickly
in a jam, from which no human power could extricate even one of them.
Penned in the narrow hallways, jammed up against doors that only
opened inward, the little ones died by fire, by smoke and beneath the
grinding heels of their panic stricken playmates.
Morgue Contains 105 Victims.
The fire occurred at 10 a. m., soon
after the children had assembled at
the school, which was ten miles east
of Cleveland. One hundred and six
ty-five little bodies lie In the tem
porary morgue near the school, or
have been taken home. Six children
were still unaccounted for, and all
the hospitals and houses for two
miles around contain numbers of in
jured children, some of whom will
die.
The school contained between 310
and 32 5 pupils, and of this entire
number only about eighty are known
to have left the building unhurt. It
! will be several days..before the actual
number of killed is known, as the
ruins may still contain other bodies,
and the list of fatalities may bo in
creased by a number of deaths among
the children hovering between life
and death.
The school house was of brick, two
stories and an attic in height. The
number of pupils was more than nor
mally large, and the smaller children
had been placed in the upper part of
the building. There was only one
fire escape in the rear. There were
two stairways, one leading to a door
in front and the other to a door in
] the rear. Both of these doors opened
inward.
When the flames were discovered
the teachers, who throughout seem to
have acted with courage and self
possession and to have struggled he
roically for the safety of their pupils,
marshalled the little ones into col
umn for the “fire drill” which they
had often practiced.
When the children reached the
foot of the stairs they found the
flames close upon them, and so swift
a rush was made for the door that .in
an instant a tightly packed mass of
children was piled up against it.
From that second none of those upon
any portion of the first flight of stairs
had a chance for their lives.
The children at the foot of the
stairs attempted to fighF their way
back to the floor above, while those
who were coming down shoved them
mercilessly hack into the flames be
low. In an Instant there was a
frightful panic, with- 200 children
fighting for their lives. Most of those
who were killed died here. The
greater part of those who escaped
managed to turn back and reached
the fire escape from the windows in
the rear.
Heap of Burned Bodies Told the Story
Exactly what happened at the foot
of that first flight of stairs will never
be known, for all of those caught in
the full fury of the panic were killed.
After the flames had died away a
huge heap of little bodies burned by
the fire and trampled into things of
horror told the tale as well as asy
body need to know it.
Collinwood contains about 8000
people, and within a half hour after
the outbreak of the fire nearly every
one of them was gathered around the
blazing ruins of the school house,
hundreds of parents fighting franti
cally with the policemen and firemen
tvho were busily engaged in saving
the lives of the children caught in
the burning building, and doing their
best to extinguish the fire.
The police were utterly unable,
through lack of numbers, to keep
away the crowd that pressed upon
them, and the situation soon became
fco serious that a number of the more
cool headed men in the throng took
It upon themselves to aid in fighting
hack the crowd, while others worked
to help the firemen and the police.
Among these latter men was Wal
lace Upton, who reached the building
shortly after the front door had caved
in, and disclosed to the horror strick
en crowd the awful scenes that had
been enacted there. Just in front of
Upton’s eyes was his own ten-year
’bld daughter, helpless in the crush,
|:adly burned and trampled upon, but
Will alive. The fire was close upon
her, and If she could not be saved at
once she could not be saved at all.
UDton sprang to help her, and with
all his strength sought to tear her
from the weight that was pressing
her down and from the flames which

spair his strength was unequal to the
task. He fought on until his clothing
was partly burned from him and the
skin of his face and hands were
scorched black. Other men attempt
ed to induce him to desist, but he re
fused until he saw that his girl was
dead and that he could not save her
life by sacrificing his own. He then
withdrew from the school house, and
although so seriously injured that he
may die, lingered about the place for
several hours, refusing to go to a hos
pital or to seek medical attention.
The flames spread with such ter
rific rapidity that within thirty min
utes from the time the fire was dis
covered the school house was nothing
but a few blackened walls surround
ing a cellar filled with corpses and
debris. The firemen dashed into the
blazing wreckage, and with rakes,
forks, shovels and their hare hands
worked in the most frantic manner
with the hope of saving a few more
lives. They were unsuccessful, for
none was taken alive from the ruins
after the floors collapsed. Fragments
of incinerated limbs, skulls and bones
were found almost at every turn, and
these things were piled together in a
little heap at one side of the building.
Many Burned Beyond Becognition.
The great majority of the little
bodigg that were taken from the ruins
were burned beyond all possible rec
ognition. And it is no small part of
the sorrow which is bearing down the
people of Colli'jwood that positive
identification of many of the children
will never be made.
Besides the children killml inside
the building Mary Ridgeway, Anna
Roth and Gertrude Davis were in
stantly killed by leaping from the at
tic to the ground.
One of the heroines of the catas
trophe was little Marie Witman, who
ran through the smoke-filled halls,
grasped her little brother, managed
to drag him from the room and out
through a window. Both were nearly
strangled with smoke.
Two young women teachers per
ished in a vain effort to save the lit
tle ones.
The cause of the fire is a mystery.
There are declarations that it was in
cendiary. All now known is that
three little girls coming from the
basement saw smoke and notified the
janitor. Before -the janitor could
sound the fire alarm gong a mass of
flame was sweeping up the stairway
from the basement.
Before the children from the upper
floors could reach the ground egress
was cut off and they perished. It was
all over almost before the frantic
mothers who gathered realized that
their children were lost. Because of
the mild weather there was less fire
than usual in the furnace, and it is
certain that the Are did not start
there. There were no electric wires
by which the building could have
been fired.
Of the bodies in the temporary
morgue, ninety-three have been iden
tified.
Miss Katherine Weilfer was the only
one of the nine teachers to lose her
life, ghe remained with her charges
to the last. When the fire alarm
sounded she marched her pupils into
the hall, and when they became panic
stricken she tried to quiet them. She
checked the panic for a few moments,
but finally was borne to the floor.
Her body was taken out of the ruins
with the arms wound, as if in protec
tion, around the two youngest chil
dren in her class.
Disaster’s Supreme Horror.
The supreme horror of the disaster
was that the fathers and mothers of
many of the little victims stood be
fore the doors and saw the flames
creep up and blacken the faces of the
screaming children.
The rear doorway was massed to
the top with white faces. Little
hands stretched out in supplication,
the doomed ones begging to be saved.
Mothers fainted where they stood.
Others tried to get to their dying
children. Volunteer firemen and po
licemen held them back. Then the
fire crept up through the mass and
silenced the cries. Nothing could
he done to save the children, although
rescuers were at the doors many min

were fed. j
utes before the fire reached that
point.
This Is one of the tragedies of the
school fire:
One of the faces in the wall of
those that blocked up the rear door
of the burning school was that of
Jennie Phillis, aged fifteen. Mrs.
John Phillis, who lives a few doors
from the building, was one of the
first to get to the fire. She picked
out her daughter's face among the
scores of those she saw. Volunteers
had formed a cordon about the door,
but the agonized mother broke
through and rushed into the passage
way.
“Oh, Jennie, please come out!"
begged the motheT.
“I can’t, ma; oh. help me if you
can!” cried the child.
The mother seized both of her
daughter’s hands and pulled with all
her strength, but she could not drag
Jennie out from the crush. She
turned to men who were in the pas
sage way and begged them to help
her.
One man pulled with the mother at
Jennie’s arms, but they could not
move her.
“It's no use, ma," said the girl.
“I’ve got to die.”
At that Mrs. Phillis became re
signed to her daughter's fate. She
held the girl’s hands, and the two
talked for some minutes together.
The fire crept up through the mass of
heads. A tongue of it blew out over
Jennie’s head. It began to scorch
her hair. Then the mother thrust
her bare hand into the flame. She
stroked her daughter’s hair and kept
the fire away as long as she could.
"Oh, thank you, ma,” breathed the
dying girl. It was the la3t she said.
They dragged the mother from out
the smoke and flame. It was found
that her hand with which she had
stroked the fire from her daughter’s
head was burned to the bone. Fall
ing glass had cut an artery in her
wrist. She was cared for by the doc
tors at the scene.
Mrs. Clark Sprung was the first
mother to reach the school after the
alarm. Her son, Alvon Sprung, seven
years old, was a pupil in the second
grade, The woman struggled to enter
the building, but was stopped by the
jam in the doorway. She was shriek
ing in despair when she saw her son’s
face at a window on the second floor.
She shouted to the boy to wait there,
and running a block to her home, she
returned in a few minutes with a lad
der. She went up to the window and
smashed through it with her hand.
She caught her son by the hair and
attempted to lift him out. The floor
was giving way under his feet, and
he had just strength to hold himself
erect. Suddenly flames shot up
through the floor and enveloped the
boy. Mrs. Sprung had dragged him
almost halfway across the window
ledge when the flames burned his hair
in her hands and he dropped back of
his weight to death. The woman
fainted and fell from the ladder. Two
men broke the force of her fall, but
she was taken to her home in a ser
ious condition.
The floors fell in rapid succession,
and it was only half an hour after
the first alarm when the roof crashed
down. The wooden beams in the
floors and roof were consumed quick
ly, and the wreckage let down in
heaps on the bodies of the victims.
The water thrown on the fire was
turned into steam, and this only
served to carry quick death to any
survivor of the collapse of the whole
interior of the structure. At 12.30,
three hours after the fire started, the
first of the bodies were taken out.
At 2.30 o'clock 140 bodies had been
recovered. These were taken in auto
mobiles, carriages, wagons and bug
gies to one of the buildings of the
Bodies were found piled five deep
in the basement below the front and
rear doors. The majority of these
children had been trampled to death,
but so intense was the heat that near
ly all the bodies were burned. One
mother recognized the body of a son
by shoes, which were bought for the
little fellow before he went to school.
The boy’s arms and head ■were burned
off. More than half of the laces were
disfigured beyond recognition and
identification was made by clothing.
The body of a girl was identified by
the remnant of a pinafore she re
ceived that day as a birthday gift.
She was Lillian Bostoclt, six years
old. In the centre of the basement
many bodies were found burned al
most t« cinders. These victims had
gone down in the collapse of the
; stairs and they were caught in the
full flare of the flames.
It is feared many of the bodies nev
er will be identified, and the flremer
searching the ruins say that undoubt
edly some of the children were
burned to ashes.

Hep Age.
The late Senator Platt, of Connec

could tell a good many himself. Not
withstanding his long public life he
always remembered a yarn that he
carried from his school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teach
ers, in making a record of the ages
of her pupils, as required by law,
found that one little girl, who came
from a family not noted for being
especially bright, was unable to say
when her -birthday came.
So, in order to complete her
records, the teacher walked two miles
to see the girl’s mother one afternoon
after school. Asked if she could re
member just when her daughter was
born the woman thought for some
little time, and then with a sort of
puzzled look, said:
"Well, the gal was born in ’tater
time, that’s sure, but I can’t ’member
whether they was a plantin’ on ’em
or a-diggin’ on ’em.”—Boston Her

Never Stops.
The minister was addressing the
Sunday-school. "Children, I want to
talk to you for a few moments about
one of the most wonderful, one of
the most important organs in the
whole world,” he said. “What is it
that throbs away, beats away, never
stopping, never ceasing, whether you
wake or sleep, night or day, week in
and week out, month in and month
out, year in and year out, without
any volition on your part, hidden
away in the depths, as it were, un
seen by you, throbbing, throbbing,
throbbing rhythmically all your life
long?” During this pause for ora
torical effect a small voice was heard:
"I know; it’s the gas meter.”—Argo

an animal store said to his young

“Tom, I’m going upstairs to work

About half an hour later in came
a gentleman with his son and asked
Tom if he could show him a live
, monkey. To the customer’s amaze
ment the clerk ran to the foot of the
stairs and yelled:
“Come down, come down, sir;
you’re wanted.”—Judge’s Library.

Making Coffee.
No coffee should be boiled. The
secret is to bring it to the boiling
point, then keeping just below that
degree of heat to extract the flavor of
the oils without fear of changing its
very nature by boiling. Use a pot
that is shining and spotless inside as
well as out, preferring the white
enameled lining, with the nosepiece
to retain the steam. The rule is one
tablespoonful to each cup, with “one
for the pot.” This method requires
the shell of an egg at least, or a small
portion of a raw egg. The true agent
for clarifying lies in the inside skin
of the egg shell, or in the white of the
egg. Wash all eggs before breaking,
when the shells may be saved for use
in making coffee. Be careful not to
use too much egg, as it coats the
coffee, making it impervious to water.
This is a principal cause for failures,
and is wasteful, as more coffee is
needed. In a family of four, one egg
should be divided to use for making
coffee four times.—St. Louis Post

land and other countries of Europe
for the sunflower seeds, which when
ground and crushed produce an oil
that Is used In manufacture of the
finest toilet soaps. Mr. Coburn
learned of this through a letter from
H. A. W. Corfield, of London, who

An Alternative Suggested.
It was at a theatre In Manchester.
The King, aged and infirm, was
blessed with two sons. He was pac
ing up and down the stage with a
wearied, troubled look, exclaming

Thumb Prints in the Army.
The navy is to follow the army in

will come under the new regulation,
but this is not quite the same tiling.
