AS soon as the news of the disastrous oc-
currence had spread through the neighborhood,
so that it came to the ears ofthe physicians, the
following gentlemen made their appearance at
the station house, and by the prompt aid rem
dered by them, saved several lives, and con-
tributed to the comfort of many others DIR.

The Mayor, Recorder, Chief of Police, and
their aids, were at the scene of the accident
in very short time after its occurrence, as
were also most of the Aldermen.
Among the dead was an interesting daugh-
ter of Sherman Brownell, Esq. She was a
bout Ii years of age.
John l.. Wooley, seven years. and Debby
Wooley, nine years of age, were the only
children OF their afflicted parents.
We are informed that the teachers have
demonstrated several times with the School
Commissioners, against the insecurity of the
stairway, and even some of the children had
expressed apprehensions in reference to the
same subject.
Mr.. John W. Latson one of the trustees of
the school, was present soon after the acci-
dent occurred and was unremitting in his ex-
ertlons to mitigate the sufferlngs of parents
and children. One OF his own children was
somewhat injured, but not seriously. We
are especially obliged to Mr.. Latson, Alder
man Franklin, and the captains of the Ninth
ward police for the assistance they rendered
US in obtaining correct information, in refer
ence to the melancholy event. At one time
1t was discovered that the notes ofthe names,
&c, document belonging to the station house
had been carried of, 1t was not without con-
siderable difficulty that the list was recovered.
The captain announced that he had lost the
list, and demanded its return; but it was not
Forthcoming until regular police investiga-
tlon was instituted. Such an investigation
was instituted, and resulted in the discovery of
the missing papers, which were in the pos
session OF reporter who hailed from the Cou-
rier office.
The teachers belonging to the male de-
partment of the school, together with the
trustees, met last evening, to converse upon
the subject, and take such action as seemed
appropriate to the occasion. Nothing was e.
licited, as we understand, to vary the state
ment of facts given above. The children who
were killed and injured were, most of them,
quite young, though some were as old as
fourteen, twelve, and ten years.-Mr, Page,
a daguerrean artist, at No. ga Eighth av-
enue, has profered his services to take with
out compensation the likenesses ofany of the
children who were killed or who are likely
TO die from their injuries.
