Thursday January 10, 1901 Awful Disaster

Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 8. – Fire broke out in the hospital section of the Rochester Orphan asylum at 1 o’clock Monday morning and the flames spread rapidly to other sections of the institution. It is known that nineteen of the children perished and it is feared that many more victims may be reported later.

A terrible explosion was heard and in a moment the entire hospital section was one mass of flames.
