by Fire and the German Catholic Church,

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 26.-At quar-
ter of eight O'Clock last evening an alarm
of fire was sounded, and in few min
utes it was announced that Music Hall
was in flames. A general alarm was
quickly sounded. The flames spread rap
idly, and at eight O'Clock it was evident
that the buildinS<sndst go. The wind
was blowing burning embers on the roof
of the st. Louis German Catholic Church
on the opposite corner, and the attention
of the flremen was directed toward it. 1t
was the opening night of the McCaull
Opera Company, who were to produce
"Falka." There were about thirty peo-
pie in the auditorium when the fire broke
out, and they had ample time to escape.
At $500 all hope of saving Music Hall
was given up, and it was now matter of
serious doubt whether the fire could even
be confined to the church. Huge glow
ing brands were carried by the wind to
great distances, and We're falling in all
directions. Persons were now engaged
in removing goods from adjoining houses
and carrying them to places of safety.
The massive cross upon the cupola of
the church seemed 10th to leave its posi-
ton, and clung tenaciously to its frail
support. 1t wavered and fell into the
mass of fire in the interior of the edifce.
Shortly before this the crowd was as

| appearance of men on the topmost part
of the tower, who were ringing the bell
to let the people know they needed as

took command in his sons place, aud
led the charge. AS the froRt line of
the Guatemalan troops reached the
Notifications of Casa Blanco, situated
at the entrance of Chalchu-

deadly fire from the Salvadorian can
