AppaIIlng Calamity in Quebec /!


Forty,sir bodies found.
Il has again pleased the Almighty to
afllict our already chastened city.
Last night, al 10 o'clock, fire broke
out in the Theatre Roy ST. Lewis street,
Formerly the riding school, at The close OF
Mr.. Harrison's exhibition of his chemical
dioramas. From the information We have
been able to CLEAN, a camphlne lamp was
overset from some cause or other, aud the
stage at once became enveloped in flames.
The house had peen densely crowded,
but some had fortunately lett before The
accident.
A rush was at once made TO the stair
case leading from the boxes, by those who'
in the excitement of the moment, forgot
the other passages Of egress.
In an incredibly short space of time
the whole Of the interior of The bulldogs
was developed in one sheet of fiame--Ihe
newly erected platform covering The plI,
and communicating at each end with the
stage and boxes, i4voured the progress OF
the fl ines.
The writer of this article was one of
the earliest on the spnt, and present Mt the
closing moments of The hapless beings who
persisted from their over exerllons TO-
escape. The staircase communicating
with the boxes was a steep one, and we
are of the opinion it had fallen from The
weight of those who cr0wed upon IT. Al
least such was our opinion at the moment
One foot was inlerposed between The
L.. ,.,l atn and thai
space we, with five or six others stood,
the fierce flames playing around US, and
dense smoke repeIing all efforts 10 eXlrl'
cate. As far back as we could see there
was a sea Of heads, of writhing bodies, and
oulstretched arms. Noise there was none,
but few means escaped the doomed. Atthe
extreme end in view there were faces calm
and resigned; persons who, from the
funeral veil of smoke which gradually en-
shrouted them, appeared calmlyto drop
into eternal sleep.
By our side was one brother striving
TO extricate another, but abandonment
was unavoidable One poor creature at
our feet offered his entire worldly wealth
for his rescue; the agonizlng expression
of the faces before US can never be ettaced
from our memory.
The flames at the time were above and
around US; but human aid was OF no avail
in five minutes from the time of which we
make mention, the mass OF human beings
who had but a short interval previous
been in the enjoyment OF full and aclIve
lie, were exposed 10 our view mass OF
calcined bones.
Up TO this hour lorty-six bodies have
been recovered from the ruins. Most OF
them have been recognised; a greater loss
of life than in the two dread contiagratlons
of last summer, Sad waling pervades
tie city. Scarcely street can he traV-
ersed in which the closed shutter or the
hanging Grape do not beloken sudden he
reavement. Fathers, sisters, children OF
both sexes, indulge the deepest lamenta-
ton. Wo has fallen upon many tor lh"se
who were thus suddenly and awfully sum
moned 10 the presence Of their Creator.
