A Terrible Calamity.

At about four o'clock on Wednes-
day morning a fire broke out in the
Newhall House, Milwaukee. The
fire at first appeared to be confined
to that part of the building on the
fourth or fifth floors, but spread rap
idly, and in about three quarters OF
an hour after the alarm was given
the entire building appeared to be
enveloped in. flames. The scene was
an indiscribable one. The agonizing
shrieks of men, women and child
rem in the building rent the air.
People rushed frantically towards
the widow in the hope of making
their escape, and many were seen to
tumble out in an apparently insen-
sible condition, and many jumped
from the widows and were dashed to
pieces upon the pavement below.
By five o'clock the interior of the
building was one mass of flames,
and half an hour later the walls to-
tered and fell. A number of the
guests escaped uninjured. Not less
than sixty persons are known to
have persisted, and the list of dead
may reach the frightful number of
one hundred, making this one of the
most appalling calamities it has ever
been the lot Of mortal to record.
