A SAD CATASTROPHE.
Burning of a House of Refuge,
Many Lives Lost.

NEW YORK, March About o'clock this
morning fire broke out in the house of refuge Of
the Little Sisters of the Poor, in Williamsburg
d large four story structure with two wings
The fire originated in the south wing and be.
fore the aged inmates were aware of its pres.
ence, the flames had made considerable pro
gress. A perfect panic was caused among the
inmates, who rushed to and fro through the
building until they became exhaused or suffo.
Gated from the smoke. The police rendered
valuable assistance and carried out number
q OLD people who had become unconscious.
There were 1856 old people in the building at
the time, and in one part their egress had been
went up to the roof. Their shrieks ard cries
might have been heard for blocks around. The
hremen and police rescued all who were on the
FOOT, put there were a number who were suffo-
Gated aud buried in the ruins.
Michael Cummings, aged "a, threw himself
from a third story window and was instantly
killed. Jeremiah Sullivan, aged 65, was fatal
ly injured by jumping from window at the
same height.
AT o'clock five bodies had been taken from
the ruins. The police think not many M ore
lives were lost, but it was impossible to tell lust
how. many, as those who were rescued were
carried away and cared tor by friends.
The loss on the Building and furniture is
about $4,000; fully insured. The house was
established several years ago and maintained by
the Catholic Little Sisters of the Poor of Brook
lyn. W. VI
When the fremen could gain the upper
stories OF the burning wing of the building to
thelr horror, they found seventeen men burned
10 crisp In their beds. The bedsteads were of
iron ana rested on the yet unconsumed beams
whlch had remained in their places, The
bodies were totally unrecognizable. The names
OF the untortunates cannot be learned until the
roll of the living is called.

say to y0u that am constantly meeting with those
who have heen treated for their ailments for months
without being benefited in the least until they have
become perfectly discouraged and have almost made
their mind never to take another dose of medicine
or be tortured by any further treatment. They had
rather die and have their sutferings ended than TO
live and suffer as they have. They say they are
worn out by suffering, and are only made worse by
treatment OF any thing more dscouragng. we
certainly cannot conceive, and were there no more
successful mode OF treating such difficulties than
that the principles OF which teach the reducing and
depicting of the vital force Of the system when the
indications dictate treatment directly the reverse
of the one adopted for them, their case would be
deplorable indeed. But, lady sufferers there is a
better and far more successful plan of treatment for
