Paris, May 5.-Fire broke out at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon in a crowded
charitable bazaar in the Rue Jean-Gou-
jon, at which the Duchess Dues and
other well-known patronesses were
present. Many people were burned to
death and there was a terrible panic,
during which number of persons were
injured. Thirty bodies have been re-

being cared for by physicians. and many
reported missing. The building I'm which

was densely crowded.
Wild Rush for Exits.
The bazaar is an annual function pre-
sided over by the leaders of Partisan
society. A terrible panic and crush fol-
lowed the alarm Of fire. There was a
wild rush for the exits and the weaker
persons were borne down and trampled
upon. The infiammable nature of the
building and contents caused the fire
to spread with great rapidity and in a
very short time the bazaar was a mass
of flames. The bodies Of thirty victims
of the conflagration, mostly women.
were afterwards recovered and laid out
on the sidewalk, where the corpses
formed a CHASTITY spectacle. Many peo-
pie, however, are still missing, and il is
feared that they are buried in the ruins.
Large Number of Injured.
The number injured is greater than
was at first estimated. over one hun
dred persons have been conveyed to the
Hotel du Palais, in the Cour de La
Feline, but many of the critical cases
have been transported to the hospital
Beaugon. A policeman who was on duty
at the doors of the basaar says that
from $500 to 1900 people were in the
building when the fire broke out. lie
adds that the alarm caused a general
paic, followed by terrible rush for the
doors, which were soon choked with
people, thus preventing the escape of
many who might otherwise have been
saved. The strong trampled upon the
weak. the young crushed the old to the
floor. heartrending cries of fear arose on
all sides. soon followed by shrieks of
agony as the flames, sweeping onward
