The curale having organized a psig cae association known us the «Daughters of Mary,” has. held services during suid mouth, winding up on the Sth with a graud illumination of the church, and serinon inthe evening, ut- which all the members were earnestly entreated to bo pres- ent. This year, determined to outshine ali former ethibitions, be made arrangemdxts to adorn the church with garlands of flowe:s, colossal s urs, and with an upprececdent number of lizh +e was vainly remcnetrated with by the Arc’ bishop and others in authority, who mete antly gave their consent tothe display. The. church was filled with the devoat all day, aad towards nightiali a continucus stream o7 ha- man beings, almost exclusively women, ponred into ihe church untilevery avenac was densely packed, and the steps of the church and far out into the plaza were filled with a hushed and Kneeling crowd. The doors were then ali closed, save the main entrance, for the double purpose of preventing the confusion occasioned by late comers and of making the voice of the preacher more distinctly heard. #18 little before seven the assistants began lighting up the churen and were just finishing the grand altar, the rest of the building being fully illuminated with thousands of lamps, moet of them of parafins oil, when, from a transpsrent crescent at the foot of the statue of the Virgin, burst forth a jetof flame. The jat- tendant endeavored to extinguish it with “his ‘pexcho, but the inflammable liquid penetrated ‘the fabric and only increased the danger. Ina moment the flames darted up the garlands of artificial flowers to the roof, the immense cupo- Ja caught fire, and the lamps suspended from the roof by strings dropped and exploded among the densely packed mass of women kneeling beneath. Darting along the wooiien ceilings, Already heated to the d: of tin- der, the fiames ran like hissing serpents the whole Jong of the church and rolied down in huge billows upon the compact crowd that had instinctively sought the main entrance. During the first.tew moments of surprise and terror ehrieks of sorrow for the destruction of their beloved church resounded through the aisles of the building; but, when rushing to the various outlets, all were found closed save one, and that one serpasesee, loud screams of horror burst from despairing multitude. For a few moments the heart-piercing cries of perishing women were increasing; they gradu- ally grew fainter ard fainter, and soon an awful silence reigned within that horrible far- nace, broken only’ by the angry roar of the flames, or the crash of falling towers. By the lurid glare within could be seen huhdreds of human tornis, some with faces elevated in prayer to Him before whoee throne they were rapidly hastening, others with eyes eagerly strained and hands outstretched towards the outer air, imploring that assistance that it was impossible to give; mothers clasping their little ones close and seeking to shield their darlings from the flames already blistering their own despairing features; children clinging in the phrenzy of despair to those who would have gadis died tor them, bat could only die with em. The criminal neglect to take the most ordinary fal t oe against fire, or even alarm, has en fearfully atoned. Of the 3,000 persons within the pile but five or six hundred escaped, and most of them wounded, scorched and naked. The vast crowd became wedged to- gether, and fainting with beat, terror and pres- sure, lost the ability to help themselves or sec- ond the efforts of who risked their lives to save them. It was only by almost super- human effort that some tew were. dragged % the tightly packed mase of human beings at the | tardil, ened outlets; and of those few, agreat mi sey aaly lived a few hours. . ‘he ree roaching too My the eae esteem carats Net Nae te pratey - ke we proaching e price *"inside te eburely and. within a few of the main deor fronting upon the plaza, or : ndred., the white ‘tender years.
