DREADFUL CALAMITY IN BROOKLYN.
A School-H0use Burned.
SEVEN CHILDREN SUFFOCATED
MANY OTHERS INJURED
NAMES OF THE SUFFERERS.

A fire occurred in Public School No. IL, situated at
the corner of Navy aud Concord streets, Brooklyn,
Yesterday afternoon, about 10 minutes past o'clock,
from an overheated fue. At this time there were
nearly 800 children in the building. When the fire
was discovered, the boys in the primary department
NEARLY 800 in number) were seized with panic aud
in the rush which ensued lives were lost From
statements made to us by Mr.. Charles w. Wolcott
Principal of the school, and Miss j. A. Wight, a
teacher in the primary department, we gather the
following facts:
The school-houee was three-story brick building,
forming IN angle on the corner Of Concord and Navy
streets There were three entrances near the cen.
ter and one near each Of the extremtes of the build
ing. The girls department was on Concord street;
that of the boys, Navy street. The first floor was
occupied by the furnaces for heating the building,
and also as playground for the children The prl-
mary department was on the second floor and on the
third floor the grammar department. The primary
ard grammar schools were divided into five classes
each, separated from one another by folding DOORS
Each of these cass-rooms opened into corridor,
which extended the entire length Of the floor F<om
these corridors the sarways descended to the ground
floor turning once between each story, as shown the
diagram below.

KANSAS.
THE ELECTION GEN. CALHOUN ON HIS
WAY TO WASHINGTON.
FROM The S. LOnis Democrat l6M.

From The ST. Lon Democrat 18th.
Two gentlemen of Kansas City, Mo-, who reached
this city last night having left home on Monday, the
Ilth inform US that at the time of their departure,
although the returns were scattering and incomplete
it was the impression that the Territory had gone or
the Lecompton Constitution. This is very contra
dctory of the previous reports concerning the cleo
ton, and is undoubtedly mistake. Our informants
state that on Sunday, the 10th, Gen. Calhoun pro-
cured at Fort Lcavenworth escort of United States
troops from Gen. Harvey consisting of fifty dragons
and proceeded to Lecompton, where he arranged his
kansas lie returned the same day to the fort. He
Is not probably in the Territory at this date, but on
his way to Washington City.
Other gentlemen who came down on the cars report
that the Territory has gone overwhelmingly against
the Lecompton Constitution and that the Legislature
il largely Free State, while the Pro-Siavery State
officers are all elected.
