Brooklyn, December 6. The loss of
life by the burning of the Brooklyn
Thcnter hits proved to be terrible.
Thirty-three dead bodies have been
taken from the ruins and placed in
the morgue, and llfteon inoro are Hiip
pesed to bo in the theater. Most of
those who perished were in the dress
circle, where escape was cut off by the
burning of the 9tairs. They were all
suffocated,
A STILL LATER ACCOUNT 150 1.1 VIC8
LOST.
Brooklyn, December ft. It is now
estimated that one hundred and fifty
lives were lost by the fire at the Brook
lyn Theater last night. Sixty-five
bodies have been removed from the
ruins. All that remains of the Brook
lyn Theater is a smouldering heap of
ruins. Firemen and police are ac
tively at work in search of the charred
remains of the poor people who lot
their lives in the vain effort to escape
from smoke and flumes which sur
rounded them.
THE SCENE DURING THE FIRE
was a terrible one. It was a desper
ate rush and struggle for life, and the
bodies of girls, women and children
nndmany of the men, who were un
able to reach the doors, are now being
removed from the ruins, while friends
and relatives of the missing persons
are crowding into the station-house,
tearfully examining hats, shawls, and
other portions of clothing which have
been picked up by the police. When
the lire had been sufficiently subdued
t'i permit men to work among the
ruins, the search for bodies was com-,
menced.
BODIES PILED UP IN HEAPS.
There is no doubt that the audit
orium and galleries had been cleared,
and those who perished went down
with the flooring in the lobbies, for
the bodies of the victims were found
this morning piled up in heaps within
a dozen feet of the door, most of them
burned beyond any hope of recog
nition. To the extent of a dozen feet
from the door the flooring of the lob
bies remain perfect. On reaching this
the runs, which are in the rear of
ceveral brick buildings, are presented.
Just at the end of this passage way
the bodies are being
TAKEN OUT FROM THE CELLAR,
a depth of fifteen or twenty feet
Ropes are attached to the remains,
and they are drawn up and placed in
rows in the passage. Up to half past
nine o'clock, fifty bodies of men,
women and children have been taken
out. Police are neecessary to keep
the thousands of spectators who
. th rung the streets at a good distance
from the scene of the disaster.
MURDOCH, THE ACTOR MISSING.
Among the missing is II. A. Mur
doch, the actor. It is said that alter
trying to quiet the fears of the panic-
stricken rudience he went up to his
dressing room to get his clothes, and
there he must have suffocated by the
smoke and perished.
Miss Kate C'laxton and Mrs Farren
rushed out on to Johnston street in
their stage costumes and were saved.
NAMES OF EIOIITY'SIX MISSING PER
SONS REPORTED.
Tlie names of eighty-six missing per
sons have been reported at the Station
House, and it is believed in some in
stances whole families have perished.
Four undertakers' wagons have been
busily engaged all morning hauling
away the dead. "The full horror of
the sickening scene will not be fully
developed until latter in the day.
ORIGIN OF THEFIUE.
The Brooklyn Argus, in nu extra
describing the terrible scene, says: The
fire started in the Hies on the left side
of the stage. A forked flame was seen
creeping along the left hand corner of
the scenery. This was followed by
the noise of shifting scenery, and a
few seconds later the audience o!
served the confubion among actors and
aetressesou the stage. The fire spread
rapidly and the alarm become general.
The cry of "fire" thrilled the audi
ence, and all rose to their feet. J. B.
Btudley, an actor, stepping to the
footlights, said there was no fire, and
urging all to keep their seats. Many
did so, but only lor a few seconds.
TUB FLAMES SPREAD RAPIDLY.
Miss Claxton and Mrs. Farran
showed great self possession, and re
mained on the stage until the scenery
at the left was completely licked up by
the flames. They and other members
of the company left not a moment too
soon. The excitement of the audience
was manifested in a stampede, such
us never before was witnessed in
Brooklyn. The panic became general
iiefore the actors left the stage. A
wild rush was made for the doors;
womea shrieked, struggled and
faluted, men plunged in mad terror
over seats, and
FOUGHT THEIR WAY TO THE Dooft
lilts wild beasts- The aisles were
blocked, and as the Arc danced and
hissed through- the combustible ma
chinery and darted out over the heads
of the orchestra, the demoralization
became complete. Ia two minuets
the stage was one mass of flame The
heat was intense, and many who oc
cupied seats nearest the 'stage left the
schorcbing heat and sank helpless to
the floor, and were dragged out in an
insensible condition. Mrs. Farran al
ludes to tba panic a something horri
ble to witness and Impossible to
describe. It is believed that a number
of the employees lost their lives.
THE FURY OF TH FfcAMKS.
If every bit of scenery bad been
drenched in kerosene the fire could
not have spread more rapidly nor furi
ously. Even before any fire engine
had responded, the auditorium was a
sea of fire. Flames broke through the
roof and gathering force by tills event,
shot up into the air, carrying pieces of
scenery to a distance of half a mile.
In ten minutes the fire had spread to
every part of the theater. The entire
block, it was thought, must be des
troyed. The irTMbuildingaiid Post
office were threatened with destruc
tion. At midnight the fire was at its
height The great auditorium was a
volcano of fire. The roof had been
scattered to the winds in cinders and
flame.
New York, Deo. Tth. The dimensions of
thn awful calamity which linn txfullon tha
city of Brooklyn In thn destruction of ltd
principal thrntrc by Are uml oona(ticiit lorn
of life ha not yet been renll.etl. Knotmli In
known, however, to make It certain that the
catnatrnplic ranks among the most. Altai of
(ho klml ever recorded. According to Hie
statements of nil pnrtlcR who profc- to know
anything no to the origin of the Are, It hoiian
on the- stttBC. Thn business manauer, Mr.
Roger, says n piece of cauvna, out of which
tree, etc.. nro mrdo was broken from It
fiiHtcntngs and hung from the flics Immedia
tely over one of the border lights, near the
centre of the stage. The canvass hud betin
to smoulder and the jnlnt on It to crackle
and the carpenter was directed to ascend to
oneof the groves and remove the dangerous
object. He could barely reach it with his
hand and drew it hastily tip. The rapid
motion through thenlr of the half Ignited
nnd highly Inilamablc canvas caused it to
burnt Into flame., which rapidly spread to ad
joining material. All efforts to extinguish
the flames were abortive nnd tho carpenter
had to retire to save his own life. Tlu1c-iie
in tho gallery after tho alarm of fire was
raised is described ns something horrible
even to contemplate.
Up till noon to-day .115 bodies bad been re
moved. The mortality will probably reach
330 persons. Of thesctifty-nlne are Identified,
same by remnants of clothing remaining,
others by watches, chnl ns und such articles,
but few by their features. The actor Claud
Burroughs and Harry S). Murdoch, nre among
the Identified.
This afternoon a number of men w ill be set
to work to clear away nil the wreck In the
auditorium. Hitherto their labors has been
chiefly confined to the paeA formerly oc
cupied by the lobby and stage, and It Is feared
that when careful search is made In the audi
torium the bodies of a good many men who
leaped In their frenzy from the gallery will
be discovered.
New York, Dec. 8th. Brooklyn Is literally
walking In the valley of the shadow of death.
Funerals of such of the victims of the theatre
disaster as have been indentlfled are taking
place, and through the streets In every part
of the city heaases are moving bearing the
remains to the cemeteries. About tlilvty
five men are t work on Hie ruins, und it is
hoped that the full extent of the calamity
will bedeflnitely iissertained within the uex'
twenty-four hours. They have not yet suc
ceeded in uncovering the dress circle, and it
is therefore still uncertain how many, if any
of the spectators perished.
The public funeral of the unindentitied
dead will take place on Saturday instead of
Sunday as previously stated. Memorial ser
vices, however, will be held Sunday. The
procession will move at 1 o'clock The ser
vices In the cemetery will consist of prayers,
addresses and singing by choral societies.
All pluces of business will be closed between
the hours of 1 and-S. The lot In the cemetery
is on the summit ofan elevation It is circular,
and nearly sixty feet in diameter. The
ground was presented by the Cemetery As
sociation and the plan for the arrangement of
the coffins was made by Comptroller Perry.
Acireular trench fourteen feet wide will be
dug completely around the inside of the cir
cumference, and this will louve the circle of
the plot for a monument. In the treneli the
bodies will be laid with their feet towaids the
centre nn as close as may bo neeces
sary. All the coffins are to be alike. They
will bo plain but tasteful In construction, the
only ornament being a double row of
diamond-headed tacks. H is supposed that
not more than 100 vehicles will be needed
