TERRIBLE PANIC AND CRUSH.
Thirty Lives Lost In a Fire at Paris,
France.

PARIS. May 4.-Fire broke out at 4
o'clock this afternoon In crowded charita-
BILE bazaar In the Rue Jean-Coujon at
which the Duchess d'Uzes and other we'll
known patronesses were present. Many
people were burned to death, and there was
a terrible panic. during which a number of
persons were injured.
Thirty bodies have been recovered, thirty
five injured people are being cared for by
physicians, and many are reported missing.
Started I'm tie Duchess Booth.
The building in which the fire broke out
was a temporary structure of wood. The
flames were first discovered above the stall
occupied by the Duchess d'Uzes, and while
the place was densely crowded.
The bazaar Is an annual function presid-
ed over by the leaders of Partisan society.
A terrible panic and crush followed the
alarm of fire. There was wild rush for
the exits. and the weaker persons were
borne down and trarnpled upon. The In
f1ammable nature Of the building and It's
contents caused the AaE.es to spread with
great rapidity, and In a very short time
the bazaar was mass 6f flames.
Victims, Mostly Women.
The bodies of thirty. victims Of the con-
fiagration. mostly, women. were afterward
recovered and laid ort on the sidewalk,
where the corpsSs formed ghastly spec

WITHOUT FUNDS.
Dfmculfy Experienced by Courts for
Lack Of Money

Speaking to Star reporter this after
neon, Marshal Wilson stated that because
OF the failure Of Congress to pass the gen.
eral deficiency bill. his office is without
funds with which to pay bailiffs, witnesses
or jurors.
The 104 jurors who served in the Circuit
and Criminal courts during the past
month, and who were finally discharged
yesterday. did not receive a dollar for their
services. because of this lack of funds.
Nor have tie twenty-three members of
the grand jury received dollar although
having served during April. Many of the
discharged jurors. said Mr.. Wilson, were
sadly in need of money and having ex-
pected that they would be promptly paid
upon the orclusion of their term of serv-
ice were sorely disappointed when Informed
that there were no funds with which to
pay them.
In calling at the Department of Justice
today Deputy Marshal Robson was there
informed that several of the United States
courts throughout the different states have
been forced to close because of this lack of
funds.
In Criminal Court No. certificates Of
attendance were today issued to those re-
firing jurors who applied for them, IT being
their intention to negotiate them, IL possi-
bic. But speaking of that Marshal Wilson
said today that Controller Bowler decided
December %, 1894 that United States mar
shals are prohibited from recognizing any
assignment or power of attorney in the
payment of juror or witness fees.
