AWFUL HOLOCAUST.
rwo HUNDRED PEOPLE BURNED
TO DEATH.
Charity Bazasr In Paris Burns with Fear
fui ResuIts-Many OF the Victims BE
Ionged 10 the Aristocncy-A
Scene OF Horror.

Paris. May IA fearful holacoust
resulted here last evening from the
burning Of charity bazaar. which
was patronized by many well-known
people. The known dead are ii5, and
many more missing. Fire broke out
about p. m. and in twelve minutes
all that remained Of the structure
100000 feet. was a mass of shoulder
ing ruins and eharred human bodies.
The sight Is most sickening. Inqui-
ries are coming IN for missing persons,
the list including many OF the nobility.
About 1900 people were in the build
ing when it caught fire. The flames
spread so rapidly that many Of those
who did escape had the clothes burned
from their backs and their hair singed
close 10 the head.
A survivor tells this story: when
the alarm was spread we tried 10 keep
cool, but the rush from behind forced
us forward, and we were separated.
Then | tried TO work my way back,
but I was taken off my feet and carried
backward 'and forward in the swaying
crowd. ! lost my hat; then my coat
was torn Off, and then my waistcoat.
All this happened in a few seconds.
Immediately the full extent of the
calamity dawned upon us all. The
flames spread with startling rapidity
throughout the whole building which
rumbled like a living furnace, but the
uproar of the conhagration could not |
drown the groans and cries of the ag-
onized crowd
IL cannot describe the struggle
which followed No words can depict
the horror of the scene. II seems, as
/ look back upon il, hideous night
mare. The whole thing was over in
twelve minutes. and nothing remained
but the charred and blackened ruins
Of the bazaar"
No painter ever imagined "A last judg-
ment so appalling. One girl, who ran
through the streets skirtless to tell her
mother of her safety, had charge of
the wooden horses in the bazaar. 1t is
impossible to tell how many children
were i'm them at the time or how many
remained
The flames rose TO fearful height
rhe fire brigade came quickly, but {
what could be done? The blockade in !
'front.' of the burning mass was simply I
'rightful and the hose was compelled :
