The Music Hall at Buffalo, n. Y, Destroyed
by Fire and the German Catholic Church,
Adjacent, Badly Damaged-The M'Cau4l
Opera Company Lose All Their Effects.
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 26.-At quar-.
ter of eight O'Clock last evening an alarm
of fire was sounded, and in Il few min
utes it was announced that Music Han
was in flames. general alarm was
quickly sounded. The flames spread rap~
idly, and at eight O'Clock it was evident
that the building must 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 firemen was directed toward it.. II
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 8:20 all hope of saving Music Hall
was given up, and it was now a 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 were 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 it's frail
support. 1t wavered and fell into tho
mass of fire in the interior of the edifce.
Shortly before this the crowd was as
tonished by hearing the bell of the church
ring The cause was explained by tho
appearance of men on the topmost par6
of the tower, who were ringing the bel.
to let the people know they needed as.
sistance. These were four men who hail
been directing a stream upon the church
which was then blazing in several placeA
all but one named Grimm, escaped.
Grimm tried to drop from the roof about
thirty feet down. He slowly turned till
his body was at an angle of forCy-ivB
degrees with his head down. Hin
head struck the stone steps
of the church, his brains being scattered
beneath the truck which had tried to reu-
der him help.
Manager Reeves of the Falka Company
estimates his loss on properties at $IG,-
900. The loss on the building is over
$500, 900. The insurance can not be as-
certained.

last Milburn's store was entered and
robbed of $4,000 Eight negroes, two
of them women, were found to have sud
denly left town. A reward of 81, 900 was
offered for the burglars, and the Sheriff
and his posse started in pursuit of the
fugitives. Ned Mcintyre, an ex-cOnvict,
led the negroes. They crossed into this
State, and were surprised next day while
sleeping in an old house. The
house was surrounded, and the
Sheriff called on the negroes to
surrender. They replied that they would
fight. When the besiegers tried to break
in the doors and windows the negroes
fired severely wounding three of the
posse. The Sheriff battered the door in,
but was instantly killed by an axe used
by one of the negro women as he fired.
Three of the negroes were killed, four
captured and Mcintyre and one other es-
capped with most of the money stolen.
The captured negroes say they had hoped
to reach New York and go to Liberia.
The dead Sheriff and the prisoners were
brought here.
