Springfield, May A most tcnible disaster occurred to night in the burning of the French Catholic church nl South IliilyuU iluilii|{ tbi' i'Vulii( services, in* vulying the lon of 71 mni, women and • children. The rXClcisc* had nearly dewed, and it vesper service *a* being sung, alien the ' draperies on the altar caught tire from a candle, ami the wall being low and tlx ' flumes streaming up, the building wa* set on ire. The audience numbered about 7U' but 1 the people in thebody of the church e& • t aped, but on the stairwa.v UaditiK from • the nailery, human beluga were packed in • a dense mass, struggling lo escape As the • tlaiuea rushed towards them many leaped f !to the floor beneath and were trampled to '[tattk \ Tti* nailery skirted both aide* of the : building, with only one entranee from the ■ | front. The scene was f-arftil in the ex ' j Urine during the little while it lasted. Those engigvd in pulling out the bodies ' j noticed that almost every woman had a ' | bracelet on her wrist, and all had evidently ' worn their best for a special occasion. It is a disputed question whether both the front doors were available !or escape. There are those who stale positively that one of ihrm was closed, and that it was 1 j impossible to open it on account of the crush. One man, it is asserted, went to ' the closed door, and flourishing a club ' threatened violence to an\ one wi.o came ' near, in order to get the crowd away, hut ■ without success. Others state as positively i that both doors were open. ' There were two doors its the north end ' and a vestibule from which two doors opened into the body of the church. The galleries opened into the vestibule. At 1 the rear end was another door by which a few persons escaped. Immediately upon the breaking oniot the flames all the x.cU" oanu of the galleries rushed to the east door and crowded so thni tbsy fell upon ne another and choked up the doorways with their bodies piled in all ways, set en or eight feet deep, and here most of the lives were lest. From this mass Chief Mullin rescued one young woman, after taking off two dead bodies fruui above her; it was almost impossible to face the dames, „nj Chief Mullin and others had their clothes almost burned from theui, anu were badly burned themselves about (heir hands In the rear of the church was the priesU residence, which was also destroyed. The walls were pulled down after the fire was nearly put out. One woman jumped from the highest u i.!duo dow,i upon lbs' f*cnt steps, break* ing an arm, hut she is not known to have been otherwise injured. A man with two children in bis arms jumped from a win* dow, and escaped ; one poor woman, en veloped in flames, shrieked out, "for God's sake, save me," and she was dragged out by John Lynch. Springfield, Mass., May 26 -The bodies of flfly persons burned to death at ifolyuke last night have been identified, in addition to those of fifteen or twenty who were at once removed to their homes by their friends. Nearly ten have died, and some forty more are more or le- burned or otherwise injured. A fli shy woman, weighing so me lMi pounds, was dragged .reaming from the burning mass She was carried a short distance from the church, and placed on the grass, while flesh actually peeled off tier back. In a moment the fell over dead. Ti.e scene* last night and to day in the school*house basement, where the bodies of the dead were earned, were heart-rend ing in the extreme. Stumps of limbs burned to a crisp protruded trout undo* sheets, and as the face cloth was lilted from the heads, the scarred and blacken ed remains were'disclosed. In some in stances the features were distorted, as though ettreuie agony bad been suffered before death crqued. Hut many looked calm as though smothered. Yet they all were blackened with smoke; some were burned beyond the possibility of identifi cation, nothing remaining but the trunk of the body. A coroner's jury was sum moned to-day, but the excitement contin ues so intense that it was judged best not . to attempt tho taking of evidence, and tbe inquest was adjourned until Monday. Tbe fate of Amniinie Mcneex and her lover was a strange event of the lire. She was the organist for the evening in the ab sence of tbe regular one, and WAS cut off from escape when tho church was burr.- I" 1 ' iter lover escaped but finding that she was still within hurried to rescue her, was overcome by the flnsncs arid perished with: her. The latest rovised figures of tho He -] publican concerning the losees by the llul jyoke disaster give tho dead at seventy two and otherwise buined and wounded ar twenty-seven, making a total of 120 vic tims of the disastot. Of the seventy-one dead fifty fivo are females and sixteen male*. A DOUBLE MI'RUHR. A double tragedy catne to light in East New York, n suburb of Brooklyn. It ap pears that a German tailor, named Jacob Young, a resilent of the place, who about six years ago lost his wife, and about n year afterwards remarried, did not live happily with his second wife, and lie be came very much addicted to liquor, and' ' their -p-arrrls were frequent. Shortly af ter nine o'clock this morning his body j was discovered lying across the grave of his first wife, in Evergreen cemetery. Ifo ' had a revolver grasped in his right hand, ■ and committed suicide by shooting him self through the mouth. Officers were j sent to notify his wife. The door- anil > windows of the bouse were found to be *c r : purely locked, and had to be broken open i. to gnin an entrance Marks of blood were . found in the hallway, an I the furniture ' I was all upside down, everywhere showing .evidence of a severe struggla.
