This disease, it is well known, is incurable
after reaching a certain stage. That stage
is already reached, and the patient must
die, probably soon.
Palliatives are sometimes employed.

FFIghtfuI Scene In q Roman Catholic
Church.

Last evening, while the usual SER

son we're being quietly proceeded with
at st. Johns Catholic Church, the
audience were suddenly interrupted
BY a cry of fire" from persons on
the westerly side of the church, near
the altar. On this side stood a
large and exquisite figure of the Vir-
gin, covered by a drapery of fine lace.
La its Immediate vicinity were fra
grant flowers aud tapers. 1t appears
that one of the little altar boys, just
as he had concluded lighting the ia
pers, earelessly swung his light
around and brought it In contact with
the drapery on the figure of the Vir-
gin, causing instant conHagratlon.
The clergyman in attendance, Rev.
Father Bayard, in attempting to put
out the fire, was quite severely
burned, in consequence of having his
own vestments take fire. A scene of
the widest confusion ensued among
the audience Immediately after the
alarm was raised. Those in the gal
leries crowded down to the first floor,
and many, in their anxiety to escape,
leaped from gallery to floor. As a
natural consequence many persons
we're severely injured. One lady In a
delicate condition, whose name was
not aseer tanned, was quite badly
crushed. A girl named Keogan had
her legs broken, and another young
girl was very badly hurt by being
trampled upon. These, with the
spriest, were the only persons seriously
