An awful tragedy occurred Wed nesday morning In the public school ol Collinwood, Ohio, which has some eight thousand population. One hun dred and alxty-flve corpses were tak en out of the ruins up to ten o’clock Wednesday nighti Six childron arc •fill unaccounted for and all the hos pitals and houses for two miles around contained numbers of chil dren, some fatally and many less seriously injured. All of the vlctime were between six and fifteen years of age. The school contained between 810 and 325 pupils,,and of this entire number only eighty are known to have left the building unhurt. It will be sev eral days before the exact number of killed Is known, as the ruins may still contain other bodies and the list of fatalities may be increased by Ml n umber of deaths among the ehll dren who are lying in the hospitals hovering between life and death. The school house was of brick, two stories and an attic in height, normally large and the smaller chll- part of the building. There was hut dren had been placed in the- upper part of th building. There was but one fire escape and that was in the rear of the building. There were in front and the other to a door in the rear. Both of these doors open ed inward and it Is claimed the rear cut into strips and the blade of a kr.lfo .n the hand of on* negro »eue- gather and the work of identifying to have acted with courage and self possession and to have struggled heroically for the safety of their pu- pija marshalled the little ones into column for the “fire d$ll.” which they had often practiced' Unfortun ately the line of march In this exer cise had-always led to the front door and the children had not been train ed to seek any. other exit. The Are came from a furnace sit uated directly under this part of the building. When the children reach ed 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 tight ly packed mass of children was pilled up against It. From the second floor none of those who were upon any portion of the first flight of stairs had a chance for their lives. The children* at the foot 6f the stair started to fight their way back to the floor above, while those who were coming down shoved them mer cilessly back Into the flames below. In an instant there was a frightful panic, with 200 of’the pupils 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 es cape and the windows in the rear. The school was a two-story and attic brick building, constructed six years ago. It was overcrowded with pupils and it was found necessary to utilize the attics for those of the ages between six and eight years. Nearly all the’ children were kill ed in the mass at the first floor door, which finally was opened by men from the Lake Shore Railway shops, who hurried to tire scene. A wall of flame had formed across R, how- ever, and most of the hcildren were dead by the time the doors wer6 swung. Miss Catherine Weller, one of the nine teachers In tho school, loss her life In a vain'effort to marshal 1h0 pupils of her class and lead them to safety. She died in the crush at the rear door. Her room was on the second floor and when the fire alarmf sounded she marched her pu pils into the hall, thinking It was only a fire drill. There the truth dawned upon both the teacher and pupils and control was lost. The children In their frenzy plunged Into the struggling mass ahead of them. Miss Weller attempted to stem the rush, hut went down under it, and her3ody was found ah hour later piled high with those of her pupils. Miss Fisk, another teacher, was taken out alive, but she cannot live. After the fire had practically burned it self out the work of rescuing the bodies was begun by firemen and railroad employees from ^ the • Lake Shore shops. The railroad company turned over one of its buildings nearby to be used as temporary morgue and hither the charred and broken little .bodies were removed as fast as they could be dug from the rjuins. They were ever, and most of the children were Identifications were made only by means of clohtlng or trinkets. The fire had swept away nearly all re semblance to human features.

As the bodies were untangled from the de bris they were passed along to the stretchers and then loaded in the ambulances. At the tempory morgue in the Lake Shore shop the scene became fourfold in the intensity of human suffering as fathers, mothers, broth ers and sister passed up and down the lines formed of one hundred and sixty corpses. To facilitate Identifi cation the bodies were numbered as they were received at the morgue. “The first Identification was made by ,the mother of Nell and Tommy Thompson, aged six and nine yeara, respectively. The heads and arms had been burned from both bodies, but the mother recognised the shoes on her children's feet. And so the disheartening Went work on, accen tuated now and then by the piercing shriek or plaintive moan as a loved one was recognized by clothing or token, such as ring or necklace. Miss Golman, one of the teachers, said: "It was awful. I can seen the wee thinks in my room holding out their tiny arms and crying to me to help'Them. Their voices are ring ing in my ears yet and I shall never forget them. When the alarm gong rang I started the pupils to march ing from the building. When we started down the front stairs we were met by a solid wall of flame and clouds of dense smoke. We retreat ed, and when we turned the children became panic stricken and I could not do anything with them. They became jammed n the narrow stair way, and I knew that the only thing for me to do was to get around. to the rear door If possible and help those who were near the entrance.
