An Appalling Disaster.
4 Catholic Church Burned and Seventy
Ave Lives Lost.

Ave Lives Lost.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 27.-The
most terrible disaster in the history
of Holyoke, Mass, occurred tonight
in the burning of the French Catholic
Church, in South Holyoke, during the
evening service, involving the loss Of
seventy-six men, women, and children.
The exercises had nearly closed and n
vesper service was being sung, when
the draperies on the altar caught fire
from a candle, and the wall being
low, and the flames streaming up, the
building was set on fire.
The audience numbered about 700.
The people in the body of the church
escaped, but on the stairway leading
from the gallery human beings were
packed in dense mass struggling
to escape as the flames rushed
toward them, Many leaped to the
floor beneath and were trampled to
death. The gallery skirted both sides
of the bull ling, with only one en-
trance from the froEt. The scene
was fearful in the extreme during the
little time it lasted, for the whole was
over in twenty minutes. Besides 6G
dead there are enough fatally wounded
to carry the total loss of life up TO 70
Immediately panic ensued ant
the people rushed for the doors. Tho
gallery skirted both sides of the
building with one entrance the front
on the stairway leading from th'
gallery the people were packed in
solid mass, struggling to clear them
selves as the flames rushed toward
them, and this soon became blocked
rendering exit impossible. Mahy
Jumped over the sides of the gallerie!
on the crowd beneath. and ;
number were trampled on and Killed
The priests eXertions to keel
order were fruitless. The screams O
the living and the means of the dyin:
made deafening tumult above Tia
orders Of the pastor, who WORKED
most heroically and was PERSONAL
instrumental in saving many lives
One family Of four were in the churc
and all were killed. Many wer
pulled out by the arms and feet S
badly burned that they lived but
few hours, the flesh pecling off o
being touched. The sisters of Mere
from the convent were soon on han
caring for the wounded and holdin
services over the dying, while Fathc
Dufresne also held services over th
! dying.

FIGHTING THE GRAsSHOPPERS.- To say
that the greater difficulty is, the harder
is the effort that must overcome it, is
simply to utter trite saying, and yet the
truth is one that is frequently overlooked.
This is not the case, however, in the town
of La Suer, Minnesota, where the people
recognizing the fact if they don't fight the
grasshoppers they must feed them, have
resolved upon rigorous and determined
war. Accordingly the town authorities
have offered a bounty of twenty cents pei
quart for dead insects. The result is thai
men, women and children have gone to
work with a will, deviSing various ways
of catching and killing the pests, ant
earning little fortunes. After school
hours some of the boys earn from two tx
four dollars in day, the war having
opened for them perfect bonanza. 1t il
fun for them but death to the hoppers
and as other towns, seeing the wisdom Of
the plan are adopting it, the prospect i
that the Minnesota Valley will eventually
be relieved of the plague. Such a cours'
as this seems after all to be about the onl!
remedy in such cases, and while it in
wolves much expense at the outset pay
in the end. combined movemen
against grasshoppers, canker worms, cat
erpillers or any other plague in any distric
must necessarily have good effect. 1t i
only when man attempts to keep tn
plaques off from his own lot while hi
neighbors allow their vegetation to sur
ply the reserve that this one man mus
fight, that the task of fighting insects an
worms is entirely hopeless.

Merced Theatre.


Vivian's Pacific Comedy Combina-
tion made their first appearance as a
company in our city last night. Mer-
ced Theatre was crowded far beyond
its seating capacity and many of the
auditors were compelled to take their
cool comfort standing. The entertain
ment opened with roaring farce en-
titled "Cool as Cucumber The
leading part that of Plumber" was
taken by Mr.. VIM. Simms; and as the
loquacious, egotistic simpleton TO be
represented, he made decided hit.
j. b. Robinson as I" Old Barkins,u and
Miss Jennie Reiffarth as q Wiggins,n
acted their parts fully to the letter
The comedy was followed by Vivian's
parlor olio, in which he never fails to
capture his house. The entertainment
was concluded by Cinderella
a fairy burlesque, as much noted for
its drollery as for its pretty scenes and
characters. Considering the def
cheney in scenery which forms such
material part of the play, it was pre-
sented with excellent effect. There
will be an entire change of programme
this evening and another crowded
house.

SAN BERnARDlNO CORRESPONDENCE.

l
EDITOR HERALD: A glance at the
map of the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad would convince
the most skeptical that the construc-
tion of that road, through the Cajon
Pass, will prove very detrimental to
the interests of San Bernardino unless
the latter is connected with it. We
heard an influential gentleman re-
mark that this place could well afford
to give one hundred thousand dollars,
rather than have the road built twelve
miles from San Bernardino, and some
are beginning to realize the fact that
unless action is taken by the people
and inducements offered the COM
pany to change their proposed line,
much valuable trade will be lost to
this city. We have sufficient conf
dence in the intelligence of our people
to believe that they will subscribe
literally to the stock and thereby se-
cure those advantages which are so
mucn desired.
Our community were exercised Sat
urday by the report that DR.. Rene, a
practicing physician, had attempted
to kill Morris Rittler, a mel chant. 1t
seems that Rittler had occasion to sue
the Doctor for store amount, where
upon he paid Rittler in currency. Rit-
tier published a card in the argus,
setting forth the facts and rejecting
upon Rene, who, Immediately upon
reading it, armed himself with a six
shooter and proceeded upon bloody
mission. Coming up behind Rittler,
who was ON the sidewalk in front of
his store, he knocked him down and
drawing his six-shOoter attempted to
fire but was prevented by by-standers.
He was promptly arrested and carried
before Justice Wagner, charged with
an assault with intent to commit
murder, and will have an examination
to-day. He has retained Messrs.
Byron Waters and Shoup to defend
him, and the prosecution will be con-
Quoted by Distrist Attorney Curtis
and Mr.. Goodwin.
Since grading commenced on the
Southern Pacific Road there has been
unusual activity in business circles.
1t Is believed that the depot will be on
the lands of the Storer Mountain Col
ony Association about two miles from
town.
The new Court House will soon be
completed, and it is fine building,
second to no Court House in Southern
California. The bonds which the
Board issue to the contractor sell read
lily in Los Angeles at a good figure.
Miller, of the Bella Union Hotel,
has started an opposition stage line
from this place to Spadra, and made
his first trip yesterday with magnifi-
cent Concord coach and six horses.
Passengers by the stage from Hol-
comb and Bear valley report but little

The cantata.

Another good house assembled at
Turn-Verein Hall last night to wit
ness the second presentation of the
Cantata of Esther by Professor Parker
and his amateur company. The singing
in some parts was an improvement,
perhaps,on that of Monday evening,as
the participants had acquired more
confidence and n better understanding
ofeach other than in the first entertain
ment. Altogether, the cantata was
presented with fine effect and to the
best satisfaction of the audience. This
evening the third and last entertain
ment of the kind will be given. We
expect to see crowded house..

THE EAGLE AND THE WREN.
BY W. HAzELrINE.


The birds once met $50 runs an ancient story
To choose monarch who should be the glory
And pride ofall their race-a royal bird,
With plumage rare as ever breezes Stirred
Their choice to rest on whomsoe'ef might rise
By wit or wing, the loftest in the kies.
Up sprang they all with one accord, and wide
Their shadows glimmered over land and tide; /;
But highest rose the eagle, who did soar
Until his wearled wings could beat no more; I;
And with triumphant voice, on trembling
wing,
Proclaimed himself henceforth theirsovereign
king.
Upon his back, all unperceived till then,
Sat perched in quiet ease the little wren,
Who, as the eagle ceased to mount, quick rose
On tiny pinion, far above her foes,
And twittered forth the victory, at length,

Wednesday noon. One of the employ
ees, Charles Gill, had placed his dim
ner-bucket "a patent affair, with a
screw on the top-by the fire to heat
his coffee, and as he took 1t away and
was about to open it, the steam that
had accumulated caused it to burst
with loud report, throwing the scald-
ing contents into his face, burning his
neck and face quite badly. He re-
ceived medical treatment soon, and it
was found that his hurts, Though pain
full, were not serious.
