The Last Terrible Holocaust.

The particulars of the burning of the
tenement house in Boston, seem TO add
to, rather than diminish, the magni
tude of the horror. OF the number Of
families who occupied the building, it
is reported that an old couple on the
first floor made their escape, and were
not heard of during the night The
Gillespie family escaped, with the ex-
ception of the wife and mother. The
latter, fifty years old, might have es-
capped by walking six feet, but became
bewildered, and swooned within her
room. She was found by the fremen
in an apparently dying condition, and
was taken to the station with the other
victims of the fire. Her injuries are
terrible burns, external and internal.
Rose Pfeifer, aged twenty-three, was
found in the hall of the second floor.
Mrs. Pfeifer and two children jumped
from the window, and were but slightly
hurt, but Pfeifer, the father, was lost.
Meroth, on the third floor, lifted his son
Charles, aged fourteen, out of the win
dow, and allowed him to jump to the
ground, distance of forty feet, then
instructed his wife and daughter Rosie,
to jump, which they did. Last of all,
he himself jumped to the ground, and
in falling, met instant death. Mrs.
Meroth is at the City Hospital, with
fractures of both legs and one arm,
and her face bruised beyond rec
ognition. The daughter, Rosie, sus-
tanned no serious injury, but Charles il
badly hurt. Heldreid took his wife to
the roof, and then went down stairs,
where he was caught by the flames and
burned probably fatally. Mrs. Held
reid's body, charred beyond recognition,
was found on the roof. Charles Held
reid, the son, is at the hospital intern
ally injured from jumping to the ground
and with an arm broken.
