NARROWING INCIDENTS.
LOUISVILLE. Special-One of the har-
rowing incidents of the disaster was the
killing of Rev. Stephen 3. Barnwell, rector
of st. Johns Episcopal church, and his
young son Dudley, Mrs. Barnwell was so
badly hurt that she may die. st. Johns
Episcopal church, adjoining the double
house, was shattered throughout and moth
ing but a mass of bricks and splintered
beams left to tell the tale. The rectory was
next to this, and here the beloved rector
met his awful death, side by side with his
child Dudley. He was with his family
reading when the death crash ended his
useful life, and from his position when
found must have been killed instantly
His head was horribly crushed, his chest
caved in, and his whole body bruised and
mangled almost beyond recognition. His
beautiful boy, Who was evidently sitting at
his fathers knee. was killed by terrible
fracture of the skull, and was also torn and
mangled. The laundry girls, of the Louis
vile hotel, who were killed, roomed on
Main street, next to the hotel As the storm
came without warming those confined had
no time to escape. The walls fell with a
crash, and the screams of the laundry girls
could be plainly heard above the roar of
the storm and the falling debris. Mary
Grove and Mary Farrell escaped, and the
rest were buried beneath the ruins. Officer
John Tully, of the Central patrol wagon,
and Joe Baldwin, heard the piteous appeals
of woman's voice beneath the ruins.
Both set to work and with their hands
threw away the bricks and timbers that
kept the bodies pinned down. The body Of
man was discovered, and he afterWard
proved to be Hon. T. Henry Mason of
Hawesville. The foot and hand of another

brick and mortar that covers the site where
yesterday stood Falls City hall. The cries
of meD, women and children rent the air
on every side. A surging of 10000
people blocked the streets for squares about
the scene of the catastrophe A large force
of police guarded the avenue to keep back
the pressing masses of curious humanity.
Five hundred men stood by the wreck
dazed and helpless, too weak or too lazy to
lend helping hand to the brave squad of
rescuers. It was sight to strike
anguish to the soul of the bravest.
Words are powerless to express
the awful scenes that each succeeding min

ruins every few minutes. Men, women and
children fingered about the scene with faces
filled with dread anxiety, lest they should

relative or friend. "
AT TIE HOSPITAL.
LOUISVILLE Special.-At midnight a
press correspondent called at the city hos
pital. There was found six Of the
injured victims Of the dreadful catastrophe.

J. g. Stern, taken from his home suffering
from wounds about the head and two
broken ribs. He is in fair
way to recouer. In the next cot lay Mr..
Nottingham, who occupied position with
the Courier Journal in it's job rooms and

only bruised about the body
The next was Mr.. Goode, also an attend
ant at the Falls City hall. His condition is
very precarious and little hopes are
entertained of his recovery.
Miss Kate Frazier was caught
in the falling Falls City hall and bruised in
body and badly cut in the head and face.
There is very little probability of her re-
covery. Perhaps the most pitiable case in
the hospital is that of Andrew Buckle
He is suffering from fevere cut on the
head and a fracture Of the arm near the
shoulder joint. But what seems to distress
