people  In  the  dress  circle  and  the  multitude 
In  the  gallery  began  to  rush  down  the  stairways : 
escape  for  those  above  was  rendered  Impossible, 
and  a  scene  of  horror  was  enacted  which  baflles 
the  power  of  pen  to  picture. 
An  usher  opened  a  door  leading  Into  an  alley. 
'Through  this  streamed  that  part  of  the  audience 
which  had  been  seated  In  Uie  parquet  and  or¬ 
chestra,  and  most  of  them  escaped  without 
much  injury.  Had  they  been  compelled  to  make 
their  exit  at.  the  ordinary  entmuco  most  would 
have  shared  the  fate  of  the  multitude  which 
rushed  pani  i-strlcken  down  (he  stairway.  Had 
It  not  been  for  an  unused  aubterruuean  passage, 
probably  the  entire  company  would  have  lost 
their  lives,  as  It  was,  two  of  the  prominent  actors 
perished. 
The  scene  In  the  galleries  was  horrible.  The 
crowd  surged  madly  to  the  stairs,  and  were 
crowding  down  when  a  woman  caught  her  foot

to  recover  herself,  ihosc  from  above  precipitated 
themselves  on  her,  and  in  the  brtefe.st  space  the 
affrlghtened  multitude  were  piled  over  her  ten

and  the  entire  mass  of  crashed  humanity  was 
thrown  ou  the  floor  below,  which  In  Its  turn

DE.4R  Cousins:— I  have  been  thinking  about 
writing  a  long  while,  and  it  this  Is  put  in  the 
waste  basket  I  am  afraid  1  shall  not  try  again.  1 
am  a  New  York  farmer’s  girl.  Just  thirteen  years 
old.  I  road  the  Rural  every  week.  1  have  a 
good  many  pets,  but  I  never  heard  of  a  blue  cat ! 
I  like  to  piece  quilts.  I  expect  to  commence

Thus  was  entrapped  an 
entire  audience  who  were  suffocated,  wounded, 
and  burned  to  death  in  sight  of  a  multitude  of 
helpless  on-lookers,  who  at  first  seenaed  to  be  en¬ 
tirely  unaware  of  the  extent  of  the  catastrophy, 
so  sudden  and  terrific  was  the  whole  scone. 
Id  exactly  twenty-five  minutes  Irom  the  time 
the  forked  flame  of  fire  shot  out  from  the  broken 
light  In  the  files  the  walls  fell  In,  and  all  was 
over.  Notwithstanding  the  excitement  and 
alarm  and  anxiety,  the  full  scope  or  the  disaster 
was  not  oven  imagined,  it  was  only  in  the 
morning,  when  the  dead  began  to  be  unearthed, 
that  the  calamity  was  revealed  in  all  its  awful 
Immensity. 
Through  the  ashes  and  wreck  protruded  arms 
and  limbs,  halt  burned  heads  and  pieces  or  cloth¬ 
ing  in  everj'  direction.  When  every  obstacle  was 
removed  from  the  surface  of  the  dead  and  around 
them,  they  were  found  tier  upon  tier,  fifteen  feet 
deep,  packed  one  above  the  other.  Heavy  clouds 
of  steam  arose  from  the  terrible  holocaust.  The 
spot  wlmreln  these  unfortunate  beings  were  mipii 
was  about  fifty  feet  long,  twenty  feet  wide  and  a 
fuU  story  deep.  They  had  fallen  on  the  ground 
floor  from  the  upper  story,  and  the  fire  had 
burned  through  them  to  the  basement,  into  which 
the  smoldering  mass  of  flesh  and  bone  had  settled 
when  the  flooring  was  eaten  from  under  it.  And 
so  they  were  found,  burned  to  cinders,  out  of  all 
their  former  semblance,  blackened  and  nude  for 
the  most  jiart,  and  dlsflgured  in  the  most  fright¬ 
ful  manner. 
There  was  a  strange  similarity  between  all  the 
corpses.  Their  nether  limbs,  arms  and  heads 
were  almost  Invariably  burned  off,  and  their 
trunks  looked  like  shriveled  sole  leather.  Some 
of  these  upper  tier  bodies  were  without  a  shred  of 
clothing;  otnershad  lost  only  the  backs  of  their 
gannents;  the  fronts  were  sound,  but  stuck  to 
their  pei’sons. 
The  bodies,  as  fast  as  found,  were  sent  to  the 
morgue  and  placed  In  rows  awaiting  Identlflca- 
tlon.  In  most  instances,  this  will  be  an  Impossi¬ 
ble  task,  owing  to  the  utter  dlsflgureraentot  ivhat 
were  once  men  and  women.  'The  scenes  about 
the  morgua  were  heart-rending,  as  may  well  be 
imaglneiL 
T’he  disaster  has  plimged  the  community  Into 
the  most  profound  gloom.

ally  draws  attontJon  to  the  fact  that  Cardinal

was  elevated  to  the  dignity  of  a  Prince  or  the 
Church  on  the  occasion  of  his  appointment  aa 
Papal  Nuqelo  to  the  King  of  Spain,  signalized  his 
arrival  in  that  country  by  Issuing  a  protest  against 
the  law  of  religious  liberty,  which  the  revolution 
had  established  In  Spain,  and  demanded  the  re- 
Btoraliou  of  the  Concordat  of  1851,  whose  lunda- 
mental  principle  required  “the  exclusion  of  every 
other  creed.”  He  was  especially  apprehensive  of 
the  results  of  a  system  01  education  which  was 
not  absolutely  under  priestly  control.  Blmeonl’s 
circular  was  so  violent  that  the  liberal  journals  at 
the  time  advised  thathls  passport  should  be  given 
him  at  once,  and  a  mob  burned  the  obnoxious 
Concordat  of  1851  before  his  residence  in  Madrid.

THE  destruction  of  the  Brooklyn  Theater  on 
'Fuesday  night.  Doc,  5,  proves  to  be  the  most 
terrible  calamity  of  iLs  kind  that  has  occuiTed  lu 
this  country.  What  was  first  deemed  to  be  an 
ordinary  fire,  naturally  involving  serious  financial 
loss  to  the  ownere,  the  lessees  and  the  acioi's, 
was  really  a  catastrophe  of  the  most  heart¬ 
rending  character,  causing,  as  It  did,  the  loss  of 
305  lives.  No  theater  fire  on  this  continent  had 
so  much  horror  lent  to  it.  Even  the  Ktehmond 
Theater  disaster  was  nothing  la  comparison  to 
this  latest  evidence  of  the  wicked  carelcssnos.s 
and  ignorance  displayed  in  building  places  of 
public  amusemeiil. 
At  a  moment  when  eveiy  eye  was  fixed  on  the 
palLlffi  scene  and  every  ear  strained  on  the 
Investigation  has 
shown  that  the  theatre  was  totally  unprovided 
with  means  to  extinguish  a  lire,  there  being  hut 
ono  hydrant  ou  the  premises.  The  number  of 
lives  lost  Is  estimated,  the  probability  being  that 
our  figimes  are  short  ot  the  actual  number.  Re¬ 
lief  and  subscrlpUons  are  pouilug  Into  the  hands 
OI  iho  committees  appointed  to  reclve  them,  and 
steps  are  being  taken  to  bury  the  unrecognized  in 
one  large  grave  In  Greenwood  Cemetery,  In  a 
manner  that  will  fitly  close  the  last  scene  of  the 
saddest  and  most  terrible  tragedy  that  has  con¬ 
vulsed  this  community  in  years.
