Only Door Nailed Up.

The building was so packed just before
the ball commenced that the single door
which afforded entrance and exit was
nailed up to prevent the admittance Of
scores who clamored outside.
While the dancing was in full swing a
pine branch caught fire and fell to the
floor. 1t blazed furiously, and almost in
stantly the dresses of several Of the
women burst into flames, which spread
with astonishing rapidity.
A dreadful panic ensued, the jewellers
losing their heads completely. Many of
them, with flames shooting out from
their garments. rushed toward the bar
red exit. where a surging mass was
damned together.
Women and children fell and were
trampIed underfoot. Those In front vainly
endeavored to tear open the door, but
were crushed helplessly by the pressure
Of the crowd behind. The roaring and
cracking Of the flames mingled with the
despairing shrieks OF the doomed throng.
