Smoldering fires and barren walls tell the story of a destructive fire that swept away four buildings of the Catholic Orphanage early , this morning, entailing a loss of about 12,000. The buildings burned were the old dormitory and school room, the laundry, barn and stables. All that is left this morning to tell where stood the buildings are the ashes and smoldering ruins.

One of tho Sisters discovered the lire, being awakened by the light shining Into her tyed room and tho roar of the flames. She immediately gave the alarm and the occupants of the buildings got out in safety, but they could not save any of the con tents, as the buildings were then a mass of flumes. Several A. & M. students rendered aid and a little ol tho furniture was saved. The i!r la supposed to have started In the engine room of the laundry, and having gained a head way quickly spread. Before the stables and barn were too far gone all the cattle had been rempved. The dormitory and school room, a wood on building, !)0x90, two stories high, burnod quickly and the blaze was seen for several miles. All of the machinery In the laundry, and a great deal of the furniture and furnishings of the other buildings wore consumed in the flames. There being no waterworks at the orphan age, a systematic fight against the flames could not bo had. Practically all of the .fuel, which was near one of ha 'buildings, was also burned.' . Other Fires. ; The fire at tho Roman Catholic Orphanage at Nazareth, a couplo of miles southwest of the city, this morning. Is the third which has oc curred there.
