In the convent were sixty pupils, all | girls, from ten jvats to iidult ago, several i teachers and a number ?>!' other Inmates, i The tire i< said to have started In the rear of the third story, which was used as n dorhlito| ry An attempt was made by the Sisters to extinguish the Haines, but ihK fiiiiuir. efforts were made to save the puplN. The tire j spread s.? rapidly ttiat order eould not be preserved ami a panic sol zct both the children ! and the Sister*, all making a wild, confused i rush to escape. Forty or more pupils are ! known to have gntiei out or were taken from tl?e building Mint given sb'-lter in neighbori Ing houses, but several In their fright Jumped from the windows ami were eith'*r killed or hadly Injured.

The streets In i the vicinity weirf thronged with pedp'c anxious to Ive of serflce, but owning to the rapid I spread of the (Vtniet thtfy Wert Helpless. while terror-stricken parents rushed frantically around searching for ml??lng children and walling over their loss. The lire department was ol little avail against the mad rush ol the surging flames, and in one hour the entire building was a mass of ruins. I St. Louts. January 6.?The following illsj patch fr??m Belleville to the Associated Pre** i gives further particulars of the burning of I the eonveut there last night. The eonv. i>i j was known as the Institute of the Immaculate | Conception, and was conducted by the Sister* i Notie Dr.n-e. The tire was the most destruet! Ive to the life and pr >pcrty that Belleville ha* ever experienced. A visit to the scene this morning showed fire department still on duty, e i leavoring to ijn<>nc!) the flames.J sr as to preserve in recognizable shape the bodies of the victims. When ihc ruins were sufllcientijr cooled a volunteer corps went If work to bring out the bodies; It was a terrible slg'it. At times the seajchers would find . two or three charred masses, huddled closc (together as if the *.Iciims had sought protection from one another from the advancing : thorn*. T?.u ho lies wore !he rear I pait of the building burned Into an unrecognizable mass, b'it the majority were found ; ociieuin wuere inn iiormu >ry win siiuuicj I They seemed to have sought shelter in 1 his room too lati' to recognize that it was Impossible to escape fiom It. The flumes beneath oatinu away the supports let. down the floor inlo the seething vortex of tire and smoke. The loss of llie Ik much creator than estlma'ed lost nlnht. Instead of two, as at first supposed, the total known deaths are twentyseven. twenty-two pupils and five Klsteis. Anion* the Utter is the Sister superior. On 'he fourth fli?or the pupil l>o?r?|pr8 with three j Sisters slept. On the third Uoor the rem lining .Sisters slept, and on tlie second, or floor uhove the hispmunt. what arc termed orphans and half orphans si pt. The Inmates I on the second floor were saved. I The Are was caused by the furnace in the ; basement, and when discovered the floorimi mediately above was ablaze and volumes ol i smoke were rapidly pouring through the ! stairways, corridors ami halls of the 1>iiiMitiir. ' 1 ty the time ttie Biropen* were thoroughly i aroused all the avenues of escape were tilled ' with building smoke. A panic ensued and Uie scene that followed was heartrending be yona description. j The extreme cold retarded the work of the ' firemen. ami even If they could him- reached ; the scene without delay they would havr : been of little service In rescuing the v lot I inn. 1 There were no ladder* In the tire departineut, \ and no provisions were made for so deplorable an emergency by the managers of the Institution. The unfortunate inmate* were therefore powerless lo help themsot von, and t those who were witness of the horrible holo j canst wore unable to holp tliem. The man 1 tier of escape of each of the survivors could | not bo learned. At 4 p. in. eleven bodies hail i been rccovervd from the ruins. Tne b?k!U-> could only be Identified by portions of theli I clothing which had escaped the flumes.

It Is true that the property of those who live Immediately along the line of ' n railroad Is incua-et In value more than those who live more remotely from It. but. it Is equally true, that If the road Is built by j taxation, that each taxpayer pays In propor- | I tl'>n to the benefits derived for the more value' of his properly is Increased the greater" j amount ol taxes he will have to pay and in ! the < nd, each individual will pay only In proportion to the benefit* derived.

I Siuart, Kusong Co., of Tennessee, were the f lowest bidder*,aud were awarded the contract - for th?* whole of the elirht and a half miles at . the tireenville end of the line. Tor which bid* i were received. The contractors are a compaI ny of wealthy nnd experienced men. who .will push the work through with rapidity. They contract to begin the work by February ! firm and to complete It by the first of July, j Their contract cover* the most expensive part a of tho line and will be cxeruted at a c.ohI to .. the company of ai> average of twelve cents a k cubic yard for earth work. Including cuts nnd t Alls, which amounts to about 83,000 per mile; t.The railroad company havethc option of pny,. Ing for the work, if they desire, in Greenville ; ;and I,aurens County bonds, at ninety cents ! on the dollar. This is a very satisfactory beE ginning for the building of tbe r<>ad. Coni tracts for the uradin-z of four miles of the i i.Muren* division will be nwardc-l on the 'J3d i Inst. The remaining twenty-four mites of s road Is mostly on an ei??v rldze. and It Is tbe e I It: litest kind of work. This will he graded < by a construction force under the superlns tendenceof Capt.

This does not look reasonable, but It t will be done, and the ro-id will bnve on hand a a cash surplus of something like $75,0:0, with which to extend lis line toward Asheville, 0 which It Is the determined policy of the - Greenville and Tjutrens people who own the il road now about to be built to do. The people , of (Jrecnvllle are especially wide awake on s the subject and fit the r'ght temper to pu*h 1 the road through the mountains without de1 lay.
