there were known to be about twen-

The force of the explosion was n
most beyond description, aud floor

heroically to work to subdue the

APPALLING DISASTER.
CHURCH AT SOUTH HoLYoKE.
MASSACHUSETTS, TAXES
FIRE DURING SERVICE.
SIXTY-SIX PERSONS BURNED
AND TRAMPLED TO
DEATH.
MANY OTHERS FATALLY INJURED

SPRINGFIELD, MAsR., May 81
One Of the most terrible disasters in
the history of NJ Massachusetts occurred
tonight, in the burning oftbe French
Catholic church at South Holyoke,
during the evening service, involving
the death Of ~sixty-six men, women
and children. The exercises had
nearly closed, and a vesper service
was being sung, when the ~draperies
on the alter caught fire from a can
die and, the wall being low and the
flames steaming up the building was
set on ere. The audience numbered
about seven hundred people. Those
in the body Of the church escaped,
bot on the stairway leading from the
gallery, human beings were packed
IN q dense mass, struggling to reach
the floor. As the flames rushed
toward them, many leaped TO the
floor beneath and were trampled to
death. The gallery skirted both
sides Of the building, with only one
entrance from the front. The scene
Was fearful while it lasted, for the
whole was over in twenty minutes.
Besides sixty-six dead, there are
enough fatally wounded to carry the
total loss Of life up to seventy-fve.
The exercises had nearly closed
when the flame from a candle caught
the drapery around the statue of the
Virgin Mary, streamed up and
caught the building. Immediately a
panic ensued, and the people rushed
for the doors. There is but one en-
trance to The gallery and that from
the front. On the stairway leading
from the gallery tie people were
packed in a solid mass, struggling to
clear themselves as the flames rushed
in that direction, and this soon be-
came blocked rendering exit impossi-
bic, Many jumped over the sides of
the. galleries on to the crowd beneath,
and were trampled on and killed.
The priests residence joins the church
he rear, and many escaped
through an entrance leading to the
house back Of the alter. The priests
e%xertions to keep order were fruit
less. The screams of the living and
the means of the dying made a deaf

FOR AUDITORS,

Az Unprecedented thing occurred
at Lancaster on Wednesday last, in
The denomination Of John F. Hart
ranft without a single dissenting voice
in the Convention, aud without the
name Of any other Republican in this
great Commonwealth having been
previously mentioned as a candidate
against him.
Ealogy is dumb after such an en-
dorsement. Words cannot add to
the encomium The simple fact that
after three years of trial, the great
party that gave him Office, rises up
as one man, and with hearty acclaim
again confers upon him q renomina-
ton, pro YES to the State and nation
the worth Of the man, and the esti-
nation in which be is held by those
who have fully tried and tested him.
Henry Bawle, the associate on the
ticket with Governor Hartranft, is q
new man in State politics, though a
well known, able, and influential To-
cal politician in the northern part Of
the State, of unspotted character and
admitted ability. The decisive vote
by which be was nominated on sec
ond ballot attests his strength with
the representatives Of the people as
sembled in Convention.
The platform is a terse, clear enun-
citation Of Republican principles, sup
plemented with a declaration of IN
compromising hostility TO extrava-
gance and corruption, and a vigorous
arraignment Of the Democratic party
for its utter failure to redeem the
promises and pledges so freely made
when struggling for power, and 50
utterly disregarded wherever suc-
cess has followed their efforts.
With such candidates on such o
platform, success will unquestionably
follow an effort deserving Of it.
