For a time it was feared that the entire building would be destroyed, but through the exertions of Prof. Lucky, Superintendent, assisted by Several female teachers, and some of the larger petit's, the flames were extinguished before much dam age was done, although a large hole seas burn ed through the door. At the time the fire broko , out there were nearly nine hundred children In the building, and the-Wildest conatetriation prevailed. The alarm spread through the building in an in stant, and a general rush was made for,the Stairways. In some of the rooms the teacers succeeded in locking the doors, and thus'pre vented the pupils from rescuing the stair ways. in others, however, Chia could 110t_be done, and the children on the lower floor, where the primary schools are located, were crowded and Jostled byjhose escaping from the upper Roofs. The stairways were com pletely blocked up, soil for a time the most tearful consequences were anticipated. A number of workmen, engaged in paving Shan papist street, rushed into the building, and succeeded in rescuing the smaller children, main clearing the stairways. In some of the rooms In which the doors had been secured, a rush was made for the windows, but fortu nately the panfe-stricken Children were pre vented from jumping oat, and were thus sav ed from instant death: During the first rush, several of the children were injured, but none dangerously.
