THE MORGUES, IN AND AROUND TIEW, Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune, New Yong, Dece. 7.—The strects ndjacent to the Morgues and the Brooklyn Thentre this morning were literally Jammed. The scenes seemed to indieate that the people had not untll this morning been aroused to the extent ofthe awful calamity which hnd befallen the dty. They came from all parts of the city, as well a8 from ecctions of New York, but all seemed to be crowded within three or four biocks fmmediately surrounding tho theatre and the improvised Morgues in Adams street. 1t was almost {mpossible for street-cars to pass through, and attempts fu that dircction seemed sheolutely certaln to result In trampling down women and children, for not only were Dboth gexes but all ages represeuted. Thero were thousands of young girls and thousands of mere fufants, many fo thearms of nurses, moving up and down the ouddy and slippery sldewalks und strects. They gathiered in front of the Corouer's office, where it was eurly learned that they had TO OWTAIN PASSES faorder to reach the Interfor of the Morgue, wd,stone time, certainly 1,000 or 1,600 per- wnsstood In 2 long quene, walting an oppor- tunlty to obtain admissiun, The police were ufterly unable to keep order, and one of the Brooklyn rezhnents had to be called to thelr ns- sitance.

HORRIBLE DETAILS. TALHS IY MR VIO WERE ON TUI INSIDE Hpectal Dispatch ta The Tribune. New Yong, Dec. 7.—The description given by persons who wers in the gallery of the Brooklyn Theatre at the tine of the disaster Is henrtrend- ing and horrible. Alfred A. Jones gives the following account of the scenc: I was scated next to the front row, but, scelng that sotne- thing was wrong un the stage, 1 moved up to the cntrance of the tler. Whilo my Lack was tumed shricks wero Leard, and the mass of people In the pgatlery arose in wildconfuslon. 1 cannot describe tho scena as it was, They were climbing over seats, gripplng each other by the clothee, and strug- gling frantically to get-ahead” of ono anotler, Isaw one man smash o fellow In the face who would not yleld to him in the passage, and o blg, powerful woman tore lier way through and came toward me with scarcely any clothes on her back, and with DLOOD STREAMING PROM TIER NOSTRILY, Two decent-looking boys got together fu the front row, and I saw them clambering over scata and squeezing their bodies through the crowd. Ono of them was thrown down, cud the other turned and called hiin wildly by name, I got down among the firat that escaped, and didn’t walt to sce what happened, ANOTHER. Atall, stout man, who sald he was a trucke man, gave a very vivid description of tho scene. '*When the uproar began, he sald, %I was seated in tho aisle, about the middle of the gal- lery, and three or four scats from the front, I never saw anything like it. All the people in the gallery scemned to be trowding one on top of the other. There were men there who seemed perfectly frantie. The yells and shrieks I sball never forget to my dying day. My wife Is down-stairs! onc man crled out, ‘let me get her outl’ “We're all safe if yow'll only Le orderly!® an- othier erled. At the same time, however, he was making the most strenuous exertions to get through the throng. The weakeat went down onc atter another, and tho. strongest rushed recklesaly over them. I could actually hear the Lones cracking as the men jumped on the writh- ing, strugeling, helpless mass beneath them, The cries that ascended amid the uproar were heartrending, MY GOD! AVE MRRCY ON MRI' ono volca repeated several times, One man mauagedy to crawl from a heap of prostrate bodies, but the struggling throngrushed against him and he spun round towards me and fell al- most at my feet. I trled to Mft him, but he gronned once or twice and gave a few gasps, and all was over. When I saw it was to belife or death, I made for the door. All I've been telling took place in o few seconds, but there is & pleture In my mind I could not paint. ‘When I got ont I walked over bodics threc or four deep,” J PHILIP WANSER N was among the very last to get ont of the gal- lery. Ho gives the fotlowlng account of the calamity: “I got fn from the row near the stage. 1saw.tho flre from the very first. Asl looked up to the gallery the scene was tho most terrific that one could fmagine. Men and boys wera tearivg one over another, and the shricks and oaths were awful. Oue man clambered up the beap, and wes spun round and round on the beads of the throng, howas flung with crash I could distinetly hear againat the back of the gallery. (Every one was for himself, and men seemed to become wild beasts, * They were threatening and tearing one another with thelr hands. Scats were piled with prostrate human Jbeings, and, as successful strugglera forced thelr way over the gasping forms that lay all around, others who had been crushed to insensibility fell as they lost the sup- port of the lving, There was nothing for it but for myself, and some others who had walted, T0 WALK OVRR TNE I'ILES OF BODIRS on the floor.

Enough s known, how- ever, to make it certnln that the catastrophe ranks among the most fatal of the kind ever re- corded, According to the statements of all the parties who profess to kuow anything as to THE ORIOLN OF THE PI.IIE, it begun on the stage. The business manager, Mr. Rogers, says that a pleve of canvas, out of wltich trees, ete,, are made, was broken from ita - fastenings und huug from tho flies immedintely over une of the border-lights, near the centro of the stage, ‘Fhe canvas lnd bezun to smoul- der, and the palut on it to crackle, and the car- penter was directed to sscend to one of the groovea nnd remove tho dangerous object. He could barely resch it with hLis hand, and ho drew it hastily up. The rapld motion through tho uir of the half-ignited and highly-lnflamua- ble canvas caused It to burst intoa flamne, which rupldly spread to adjoining material cquully suseeptilile. All efforts to extingulsh the flunes were abortive, and the carpenter had to retive to save his own life. ‘The scenc in the gullery after the alarm wos ralsed I8 described us sumething orrible even to contemplate, TNE DEAD, Up till noon to-day, 815 bodies had been re- moved.

NUMBER OF PERSONS IN THE THEATRE, A. M. Palmer, onc of the lessces of the theatre,: mives the following statement of the number of persons In the theatre on Tuesday- ovening: 405 persuns in the up- per gallery, 83 persous la the dress-circle, 250 persons In the parquette, 21 actors and speaking-people, 20 supernumeraries, 10 stage hands, and 13 musiclaus, a total of 1,018, or, iucluding the dresscrs and other subordi- nstes, in all about 1,050 persons. A TOEORY, A fanlt in the construction of the burned building, and one by which there is reason to he- Heve the dreadful loss of life in the gallery s in a large measure attributable, was the use of palnted cloth for thecelling. ‘I'he canvas caught cusfly and burned rapidly, Of course the flames followed it to the ventilator, at the top, making the dome a funnel of fire right over the heads of the people fu the gallery, It seems moro than probable that the smoke and nire, in the mldst of which' they were thus placed, de. stroyed tho lives of many persons who might also have escaped cven by the inadequate stuir- way provided for them. INVESTIOATION, Fire-Marshal Keady resumed hisfnvestigation this morning, G. A, Wessman, oflicer of the mouuted squad, was examined. He was in the theatre in citizew's clothes when the fire occurred. Was up in the dress-circle and saw the flumes burning the scenery on the stage. fle ran to the front to get the doors open, sud the actors quicted the audience for a moment, He walted at the doors till the spectators were all out, and then closed the doors to keep the draught out. People were then coming down from the gallery, but all at once they stopped coming down, and he ran to sed what was ‘the mntter (he referred to the first gallery). There were two separate stalrways lcndlnF up there. As I got tothe top of the first flight of stalrs, there was o lady who, In coming down, got herlec caught In the balusters. A lorge nan foll over her, aud others, falling over hint, made u heap which those In the rear could not puss, There were {ull flfty or sixty persons i PACKED IN A-HEAI at the foot of the second flight of stalrs. The stairs were open all the way down from that point, and above that polnt the stairs were vacant four or five steps from the top. At this time tne smoke was very dense. It wus not three minutes ufter ~ the' fire broke out. The curtaln was lowered and took fire, and this bal the effect of sendipg the Bames up to the gallery. =1 Jook- ed at it for ubout three sceonds und then clused the door of the nnnl)uuuc. The persons who were plled up in o leap cried to me to hellz tln;llxll,lnnd 1did get somie in the rear to fall buc uni GOT A MAN AND WOMAN OUT. Seeing these two get out they all rushed for- wurd ngain aud blocked up the passage. I tried to extricate 8 womuan whose leg wus caught in the ralling, but slie was held fast, An uster came up to nsslst e, und we made u small place among thent, ' We tore the: dresses off sowme of thein, but we got them atl out. Then I wentupiuthedress-circle. 1 found a woman there and took her out. Tlere must have been other persons there, for I heard erles, but I could not seo them on account of the smuke. 1 know there must have been several other Ln.'rsmm in tho dreas-virele who were overtaken by the fire, 1 was then %emm: weak, and 1 dropped to the floor to get fresh nfr.

There was even a larger crowd around the Morgue this mortilue than yesterduy. A surg- ing mass of people occupied the sldewulk In front of the dead-louse and stretched fnto the middle of the street, and men and boys clain- bered ugvu fencea and wogous In the nuighbor- houd. Yesterday the people who vongreguted in_the neighborhood ‘of “this building were quict und orderly. ‘To-day there wus a spirit of levity percoptible. The tire was gu event two ays ald. No permits for admlssion were de- manded of those ]mmmn who could satlsfy the ofticers that they had lost friends or relutives by the fire. Thuy were allowed to enter from thue to time, passiug In the front door aud through the room on the right hand .which von- talned wbout thirty bodies 7ymg on the four.

The Mayor and the Buperintendent of Bulldings have consulted about the safety of the people while crowded n the pluces of amusement, und huve come to the conclusion that all has not been done that shiould be tomake the publie feel purfeetly eafe In going to the theatre, the opera, or tu uuy cotertainment where a crowd might be encountered, Thedunger from fire and fromn its attendunt,—panic,—and the fearful results of suchocentrrences,have been curetully considered, s the oflleials above-nomed havo decided that the gathering-places of Chicago shonld have anotlier aud this time o thorougl inspection, The Mayor said yesterday: *“When Bupt. Bulley mude an Inspection ‘there was great op- positlon by some of wur best citlzeus to the changes which were thought necesaary, and { doubt very mateh I the fmprovements which were recommended were ucted uvon, The theatres and halls here muy be considered per- fectly safe, and I doubt not thut ths Brooklyn theatro wus considered safe; but, to prevent the possibility of the ueeur- rence * here of oany ealumity ke that which has Uefallen Brooklyn, we are golug to mouke an fnspection Immediately, I bavo sugrgeated us much to Mr. Clevelund, and that gentleman has procured, with my ]mrmln- slon, the assistance of Architeet J, R, Willets, gentleman very well known here, to asalst'in the work, They will commancs Bluuduy. and what tlwe' will do will be thoroughly done, The changes they mayseo it to demand will be made if thera ia any wiy of cnforcing the law, and I think thero &, aud I also think that the law is sudlicfent, i€ weted upon and complivd with, to Insure us eafe places’ of amusement. We shall brock no neglect to wmm'y with the law, 1do not belleyo thut we sldl fiove uny trouble, for of course the imanagers of tho places of amuses meut will se that 1f thelr places ure declared unrafe thelr patronsee witl full off, Oug kwhn. of the idspection will bo to rea that the stulrways, gllerles, ete., are strong enough 1o hold any atrain that could Lo put wpon them, The great dunger fu cases of rushesor stam- pedes fu theatres I8 that part of the building mu{ vo way, aud, lnlllmi. crush many persons and block up the exits so that none can escape.' One of the changes which Mr, Cleaveland ex- pects to be oblij to order is in regard to the width of the alsles, he thinking that thoso pas- saged are In muny cases too stnall for the seating o) )u:llx of the buildings. fire-Murshal Beuner also expressod hls vlews upon tho subject of safety fn theatres, and sald that fn his oplufon there were not enouwh ap- plinuces abuul them for the extingulshing of flrea, In bundreds of cases of tlres the absenes of auy means for the fmmediate application of un extinguishing agency caused great ueeldents ~ which i with proper caro Jiave been averted. Peoplo might laugh at the old-country precautions, but the thas would como when it"would be thought necessary to have regular frenien detalled to attend “the theatres at cach performaneey to be on hand In cosg of fire. The mon should have sppliancea at thelr command and be ready all the time for un{‘:mcmeufiv. Aunothur procaution that vight to bo provided was an fron curtuin capable of belug rolled up, a8 many iron -window-shutters do, to b buug hu front of tho dropcurtain, wod to he dropped In case of a lre Lehind the scencs so that the audieuce wuuld bu shut off from the smoke and blaze. Tho curtaln wonld act as a burrler, and would keep tho fire from spreading futo the sudltoriun, at Jeast until the sudience had passed out. The ity officlals aro fu dead carnest about making the theatres safe. As the Mayor said with great emiphusis; % This work will bo thow oughy and the new Building law frawod so that nulhlw{ but #afe bulldings can bo bulit for the- atros.

T.~In view of the recent Brookiyn horror, a few words on the merits of preventives will be In order. Nearly every- hody's attention Is directed toward the calamity itaelt, and few think of the remedy. Al will be shocked and will pity and lament, and, after the excitement of the time subeides, theatres, churches, snd public bolldings will again fill 1p, and a recoccurrence will be as certain as the present and previous holocausts, There fs not alarge church or public building, and but one theatre, in Clicago, which, if filled, could be empticd of Ite sudlence in less than twenty minutes, with all the exits tbrown open. Imagine, for example, ~that McCormick Hall had ecaupht fire the night of the Apallo Club concert! With the winding exits of that buliding, over 1,000 peonle would have been Killed, suffocated, or burned to death. The sttendance exceeded 2,000, and fromn the time of the first alarm of firo until the entire bullding would have been a lurid cauldron of deatli, not over 1,000 peraons in all probabillty could have escaped, = Hurry and jam never factlitate mutters under these clrcutnstances, v 1t s o Inmentable fact that the egress portiona of our churches and public halls and theatres of this city, with ono exception among the latter, are inadequate, and open fuward or closc.out~ ward, Instead of reversewlse, as they should, In view of this fact,\there can be only one result in case of fire, or cven o false alarm. I would advise the entorcement of the 1aw re, u]nllnE the crection of public bufldinga, cspecially wit reference to Frupcr and sufllcient exits, and a remodeling ot those nuw in use, and if there be no such law, would u?;u the leglslative enact- ment of the same. Thus an ounce of preven- tion would be worth an Infinite amonnt of cure, OpsERVER. PRENCIl SYSTEM OF PIRE-PROTECTION. 7o the Edltor af The Tridune. Cuicago, Dee, 7.—A very great danger, to which all audiences {n public halls, and espe- clally theatres, arc exposed, mnay be reduced to a small danger by adopting the French systemn of fire-protection. Those who have not appre- ciated the magnitude of this danger heretofore cannot fall to reslize it now in the lzht of the awful calamity fn Brooklyn on Tuesday night. Under the law In Paris no theatrleal perforin- ance ean be comienced until two fremen, de- talled by the fire authoritivs, with o swall fire- engine ‘und other ncedful apparatus, are upon the stage, Let the Firc Department of Chicago be suiliciently inercused for fta officers o detail the men required, Let every theatre be compelled to furiish the, proper uj- warutus under the dircetion of the Fire Marshal, Letthe city charge the theatres an umple sum for the services of thu firemen, and let the law probibit 8 performunce except these provisions are complied with. Thesc measures should be enforced {n addition to and withous regard to nn{ aud all possible ncrease I the meaus of exit from theatres and public ) Re- spectfully yours, VH. FIRE-EXTINGUISRERS, 7o the Editor of The Tribune, Cit1caGo, Dee. T.—~1 would sugiest, {n view of the dreadful calamity fn Brooklyn, that here- after it be made compulsory by law upon all managers of theatres, etc, to provide tivo, ot least, of the large-sized fire-extinguishers, to be placed one on each slde of the stage and behind the scenes, with a mnn on duty during the per- formance of overy play. By this meaus thefirat precious momecuts, before the fire becomes une nanayeable, can he emploved to meet the dun- ger. o these may be adied water-piper, with hose attached, running up the side of the build- ing, into which the water can bp turned ata moment’s notlce, This is the plan adopted in the cotton and woolen mills all over the coun- try, and has been fuund to work well, Nodoubt the knowledge on the part of the andience that eflicient preventive meaus were at hand in case of fire would go o great way to allay all excite- ment and panic, to which miust be referred, un- alls, R.W, doubtedly, a large proportion of the deplorable loss of life.

About a weck aga Albert Garnfer, the billiard player, began proceedings looking to a divorce froin - his wite.
