Grand Bazaar de Charlie, n temporary
wooden structure, about one hundred
yards long and sixty yards wide. erect
ed in the Rue Jean Coujon. for the an
nual charity fair, OF which all the most
prominent society ladies' OF Paris are
patronesses. has thrown the French
capital into mourning. The conhagrn-
tlon which broke out shortly after four
o'clock yesterday IN the hnet0graph
booth. near the stall OF the Duchesse
d'Uzes. while from 100 to 1000 people
were present. IS believed to have caused
the loss OF over two hundred lives. As
this dispatch is sent, Wednesday morn
ing, one hundred and eleven charred
corpses have been recovered, together
with twelve portions OF bodies. the !den-
tity OF which may never be established.
Since 9 o'clock this morning crowds OF
people have been hocklng TO the Pnlais
de LIndustrle. where many OF the bod.
les and large Eumbcr OF the Injured
were taken.
The search Tor the dead continues
among the ruins. Quantities OF coins.
watches. rings, necklaces and bracelets
have been picked up In the debris.
Al o'clock there was movement to-
wards a corner OF the ruins, and anoth-
er body was slowly drawn from the
mass with which Il had been covered. II
was little more than black trunk,
headless and limbleEs and little hope Is
entertained Of discovering Its Identity.
In this case. as In all other instances, the
firemen and police. upon discovering a
body. carefully oVerhauled everything
near II and under II. In order 60 discoV-
ed, n possible, some piece OF jewelry or
other article which may lead 90 the
Identification OF the remalns.

this spot throughout the night. they

and taken 20 their former homes.
The scene at night was remarkhble
