THE SCHOOL DISASTER.
New YORK, Feb. 81. = The coroner this
morning selected jury to investigate the
causes of the fatal school disaster. yester-
day. Crowds to-day visited the place and
discussed the terrible affair. Many were
loud in their denunciations of the clergy
men in permitting the staircase, which
they say has been in a frail condition for
some time past, to remain without being
properly strengthened. Those injured will
recover. The bodies of the dead children
will be brought to the Church of the Most
Holy Redeemer tomorrow morning, when
funeral services will be conducted. The
church will be draped in mourning. The
bodies will be inclosed in neat rosewood
caskets, bearing on silver plates
the names of the little unfortunates. 1t is
thought they will be inferred in Calvary
cemetery. The examination of the records
of the building department fails to
show that report on the condition had
been made, from which it is inferred that
at the examination made the place was
deemed to be in good condition. The
inspection of the building shows the door
ways are only two and half feet wide and
open inwards fairly on the end of the
benches, so as to allow no passage room,
with the aisles narrow and blocked with
stoves. The exits everywhere opened on
the dark and narrow hallway.
