Church Burned.
B,5rFALo. March 25th.-This evening as
an attache of Music Hall was lighting the
gus above the stage drop a fly took fire
| from defective burner. In an instant the
whole stage was ia flames, and six minutes
later the entire building was burning. The
McCaull opera company were dressing
preparatory ia the production of 'Falka,
and had barely time to escape-some only
partially dressed. The company lost the
entire wardrobes for the operas of 'Falka,
the Little Duke" and THE Queen Lace
Handkerchief" The company had most
of their trunks brought to the building, and
these were consumed also. Very few per-
| sons had arrived TO witness the perform
ancc, and all escaped without injury
An hour later the st. Louis (ROman
Catholic Church, at the rear of Music
Hall took fire, and ii was soon evident
| that the magnificent edifice was doomed
! The street between Music Hall and the
church is very narrow, rendering it impos-
sible for the fire department to do effective
work. Geo. Smith and Jos. Green assembled
| ladders in front of the church for the pur-
4 +l,a
| the work. The building burned rapidly,
and the firemen and Smith hastily left the
roof which they had reached, but for some
reason Green remained, and frantcaly
rushed to the cupola, climbing it in full
view of thousands of spectators. He clam
bered 10 the lightning rod, but returned to
the body of the roof which was now burn
! ing iercely He rushed to the corner of
the building, and needless of the cries of
| the tiremen, who had tarpaulln stretched
| for him to jump into, made for the tower,
and from it hung by his hands fully ten
minutes An attempt was made to reach
! him with a ladder, but it was unsuccessful,
owing to the network of telegraph wires
surrounding the building. At this time the
entire front of the church was enveloped
in flames. When the smoke cleared away
he was seen still eGnging to the edge of the
roof Then he lunged forward, let go his
hold and fell He struck on his head and
was instantly killed. At $50 o'clock the
tower Of Music Hall fell in, and few min
utes after the front wall fell into the street.
The south wall, which was unusually
strongly built, as it was within ten feet of a
large private dwelling remains intact. The
fire was finally confined to Music Hall and
the church Music Hall was completed in
1888, having been about year i'll course of
construction The ST. Louis Church was
the Oldest Roman Catholic church III the
city.
