INSIDE AND OUTSWE BELLEVUE HOSPITAL, SCENES In the neighborhood of First and Second avenues and Twenty-s!xth street it soon became very evident that an alarming catastrophe had occurred some- where, Between the hours of two and three the neighborhood of the Bellevae Hospital wore the usual aspect of Sunday afternoon peacefulness. But ambulances and express wagons soon commenced to arrive bearing the dead and dying from the scene of the accident. The immediate inhabitants were soon arouse: from their after dianer sambers and were eagerly thronging around the vehicles, ana from the scraps of information given by the drivers and attendants, the outitnes of the horror were gathered by the crowd. Reports of the wiidest and most exaggerated kind flew from tongue to tongue, and as ambulence wagon and carriage rolled up tothe gates of the hospital with its ghastly freight no ramor, however lorrible, wild or exaggerated, was disbelleved, but was eagerly passed about, becoming the common property of those who had evidently come prepared to sup full of horrors, Neither were they disappointed, for the occupants of the vehicles as they drore up Ww the hospitals were GHASTLY AND SICKENING in the extreme, and as gilmpses were caught by the surrounding multitude @ shuddering murmur of horror shook the crowd. An ambulance arrived with the body of aman en- veloped in cotton wool, severely scalded, On the front Seat sat a man with bis clothes torn, his shirt disarranged, and hiS 1ower limbs hanging down, crushed and heipless. Another shudder of horror ran through the crowd. Another ambulance came along, containing three bodies, evidentiy stilt alive, the sex undistinguishabdie, also cnveloped tn cotton wool. In this vehicle also was the body of a child of tender years, Next came an express wagon, with a canvas supported by three men in front and three behind, evidentiy containing something TOO GHASTLY FOR PUBLIC GAZE. On the front seat sat & man mangled and biecding, and behind was one having his head, arms and legs scalded and covered with wool. The wool was no doubt placed there to prevent the action of the at- mosphere on the wounds until they could he pro- periy dressed by the surgeons of tie hospital. each vehicle discharged its freight it was rapidly hurried away to the scene of the disaster to convey fresh victims of the catastrophe to the hospital, As time wore on those who came frst for the most part hurried away, and the aspect of the crowd became considerably changed. Sober, respecta- bie, well-dressed people, witn anxiety depicted upon every feature, now thronged the scene, and, from casual observations dropped here and there, it became evident that they came in search of some relative or friend, Carriages came hurrymg from ail parts of the city, some containing unfortunate victims ana other anxious and inquiring friends of boat, By this time some twenty or thirty LOADS OF DEAD AND DYING had beeu received into the hospital, and applica Lions from those outside the gates became numerous end clamorous. Any aud every one who had a relative or friend who might possibly, by the merest chance, be passing over to Staten Isiand, became so intensely and excitedly interested that only a visit to Bellevue Hospital could satisfy them; and, although the wardens and oMcials in attendance for @ time were obliged to refuse admittance with the utmost courtesy, aud the poiice onteide the. gates exercised thefr duties as forbearingly as pow sible under the circumstances, yet the excitemen: caused by these constant refusals, the incessant arrival of tresh victims, and the maddening rumors circulaung among the crowd, added horrible inten- sity to the feeliags of those who came in search of their near ana dear ones, “There are over five hundred killed and injured,” said one, who, having returned from the scene of the accident, was immediawly looked upon as av autho- rity, and covsequently surrounded by a number of excited questioners, A woman, dressed in black silk dress; gentee, looking; three rings, one of Which is a signet ring with the setters V, 0,; abont Murty yearg old: Waen collar and Jet earrings “there are some very young babies,” saida young girl to a group of others surrounding her, “and they cannot find out to whom they belong,” she added, A vuret of pity broke rong the groupe buff dress, with black spots.

At three o'clock and from that to four the crowd Outside the hospital was fuliy 3,000, and from tive to Six O'clock it had increased to fully 5,000 persons, in which every ciasa of sociely was Tepresented, blocking up Firstavenue and Twenty- sixth street in such @ manner as to render the pas- sage of cars and vehicles almost impossibie, each one portraying on his countenance the fearful inter- est he felt respecting this horrible calamity. At seven o'clock there were displayed in the Morgue thirteen dead bodies for identification, and ‘DUmberless people were allowed by the police to file past singly. ‘There lay the portly man of fifty and the Infant of two or three years, tue woman of mature age and the maiden in her teens, For the most part their cloth- ing was respectable and decent, but the aspect of their conntenances was ghastly in the extreme, and as the anxious people passed slowly by the ex- clamations of horror were painful and numerous, Outside those who had seen the feariul sight were gathered in anxious groups repeating the story of what they had witnessed, Presently there arrived an Adams’ Express wagon, covered with an awning and followed by an excited multitude, The iron gates of the hospital were slowly swung open, but the wagon passed on down to the dead house, and the murmurs of the multitude increased in intensity. Inside the dead house the scene was sickening and heartrending &8 the corpses were brought in; men, women and children, saturated and bleeding, clothes torn, halr streaming wildly, eves giaring, HORROR AND DESPAIR depicted upon each face; it was, indeed, a sight to shock the strongest nerves aud send @ chil to the boldest heart. The effect of the news of this terrible catamity Upon those who had relations or friends pleasure seeking in that, or even in any other direction, was to bring them to the spot, and after making what inquiries they could, hurried away to the other Hos- Pitals, to repeat im the same horror-stricken tone the questions they had asked at the Bellevue, and from thence to return again to repeat them more anxiously than before, TEE HORRORS OF BELLEVUE AND THE MORGUE. None save those whom duty or anxiety for @ miss- ing triend called into the neighborhood of Belleyne Hospital yesterday can fully realize the terrible excitement without and the awful ghastliness with- in its walls. Men who have been used to scenes of blood in every variety say they never saw anything so horrible as the sickening heaps of charred corpses In the dead houses, and im many cases the more horrible mass of human cinder from which the spark of jive had not yet fied, which Was to be seen on every side through the wards, At about two o'clock the officials of the hoepitai were just about to seat themselves at the dinner ta- ble when the telegraph announced the dreadful tra- gedy. Not a moment was lost, and in less time than it takes to write of it the ambulances were under Way and hurried to the Centre street Hospital, full of surgeons and sargical instruments; but yet express wagons and every kind of private conveyance Was pressed into service, and by naif-past tnree o'clock the ambulances began to retarn heavily laden with their horrible freight. Areporter from the HERALD reached the hospital about the time that the first ambulance arrived and remained there until midnight last night. By the kindness of Mr. John Toel, the courteous clerk of the Coroners’ office, and Warden Brennan, who were indefatigable in their exertions to afford the reporter an opportunity of secing every case which ‘Was brought in, he was enabied to be a spectator at the most horrible scenes, the least of which was horrible beyond his conception. The scene at the Morgue When the first wagon tull of dead bodies came tearing down Twenty-sixth street BAFFLES ALL DESCRIPTION, The news of the disaster had just reached the upper portions of the town, and all who bad friends or supposed they had friends, who by the least pos- sible chance could be on or near the ill-fated buat, rushed in shoals to the hospital. Many who had seen friends taken imto the Centre street Hospital and had been told that they were to be transferred to Bellevue rushed up in frantic haste and swelled the mighty throng in front. Another ciass in the crowd more to ve pitied than all the rest were those who had seen dead bodies removed from the Park Hospital and came up ‘twixt hope and fear to have a look at the ghastly exhibition that was about to be prepared for them. When THE FIRST CARTLOAD OF DEAD arrived from the scene of the disaster there were fully fifteen thousand people assembied before the gates, and @ haif suppressed wail arose from the multitude as it pulled up and its ghastly freignt was transferred to the dead house. Captain Byrne, of the Twenty-third precinct, and Captain Cameron, of the Eighteenth, were early on the ground witn their men, and the eager crowd who In their ter- nible anxtety would almost have broken open the gates were with difculty kept back. Then ambulance afier ambulance began to arrive. As cach halted before the front gate the groans of the injured and the dying were to ne heard dis- tinctly, and a general hush prevailed at each fresh arrival of sufferers, As the hours went on the crowds outside swelled, until at Twenty-sixth street and avenue A on both sides for a couple of blocks was one SERTHING MASS OF IMPATIENT HUMANITY; impatient to put an end to their horrible doubtse— impatient to see the sufferers about whose fate some litte hopeful information had been gleaned, No impatient curiosity was felt there. It was not as at other even serious times when the thoughtless had turned out in hotiday ature to see the ghastly show, It wae too terribie this time, and fear and anxiety were to be seen in almost every face. Towards evening, when the poor, cindered bodies were made ready for exhibition, the police marshalled the worn out crowds Into rows, and one by one they passed into the Morgue and came out in the same order until they joined the crowd at @ distance from the Morgue door, Passing through that crowd the most heartrending exclamations met the ear at every turn, The mother, with ner heart almost on fire; the sister, the brother, the father and the lover all found their representatives. It was heartrending enough outside, but within it was @ atont heart wiich could stand unmoved the sights which were to be seen on every side, As eacb mumbulancg drew up peigre the Stout door p | smuetr toad, nowever, sn occasional black or red ; #pot was seen through the covering, and by and by few men were seen to remove what first sight to be a huge mass of lint. As t! souething like THR SHAPE OF A BUMAN PIGURE was laid upon @ stretcher and carried up stairs to the wards. Following one of these horrible bundles we halt in a spacious, cleanly apartment, Every- thing around 18 spotiessly white but the black hued masses which are laid on the sheets, The | stretener is laid on the ground, and gently, 80 gently, that it takes nearly half an hour to do tt— what was once a fair, human being is transferred toaresting place. On every side nothing isto be seen but the same horrible picture, Let us go over to one of these bedsides, What is thist Surely ints could never have been a human being? A black mass of what was once flesh, Where a haman head was a swollen, dark pulpy mass. No features, no sight, but where eyes were SWARMS OF FLIES festering, Which an occasional passing Samaritan drove away. vhat a frame work of hoops has to be put on to keep of all friction, Others can only le on tarpaulins, On one side a poor wretch tres to articulate with nis tongue, peeled of flesh, and as it comes in contact with nis lips he writhes in agony. Here, again, the teeth have Jallen out or have been crushed ont by @ beam or bar, and the jaws have sunk in, giving the poor wretch an expression ghastly beyond measure, It isa horrivie, norrible sight. No one who did not waik through the wards of Bellevue Hospital yes- terday has any idea of what humauity is born to sulfer in this world, nor of THE UNTOLD HORRORS which any day may bring forth. Down at the dead houges the bodies are being prepared for exhibition. They are ready and the doors are thrown open, In one continued stream over twenty thousand people poured into the charnel house up to midnight. No cessation—one continued stream. Every expres- sion of pain and anxiety was to be seen on the faces of the visitors and a look of retie! generally succeeded the hurried look which told them they had no friend among the dead, yet at least. Sometimes there was ahait, and the anxious visitor burried within the glass door and carefully examined a body and re- turned again WITH A LIGHTENED AEART. AS night approached candies were provided and stuck up beside the ghastly looking corpses. No pen could describe the scene. The blanched and bloody faces upon which the candles threw a filckering yeilow glare—the eager faces of the visitors under- neath; the dull light of the glass outside; empty comns lying about, and here and there a full one— and, above all, when twice a victim was recognized, and fanning from a Some are 80 bad A WAIL WENT UP that moved the stoutest heart in the vast crowd. it was ascene not casily to be put out of memory. Believing that people would come from all parts of the country and city to recognize missing friends during the whole cf the night, Warden Brennan de- termined to keep the Morgue open tll morning. Too much credit cannot be given to him for his exer- tions, It is no exaggeration to say that he worked like a horse. One more look through the wards. ‘The lights are darkened and the scene has lost some- thing of its ghastliness, but A HEAVY GROAN soon recalls it in all its vividness. Here and there a dark form bends over the bed. It Is the Catholic priest maktng his rounds. Around a bed a few doctors and nurses are gathered together. A mo- ment and they separate; it is all over; another is dead! AT THE PARK HOSPITAL. The hesearaees of the and v ded—Eighty-five of the Saffcrers. Scarcely had the rumors of the catastrophe been spread around when carriages In tens began to roll from the direction of Whitehall siip, sweeping along Broadway to the Park Hospital. Every eye was turned toward the vehicles, endeavoring to catch ® glimpse of the ill-fated individuals who eat within them. Men bearing stretchers and numbers of affrighted Cfuzens were added to the long train. Blood marked the track of some of them, while some persons who had been on the boat and escaped sertous Injury seemed almost in- sane, believing that their wounds might prove fatal. In a few moments the doors of the Park Hospital were thrown open, the physicians who lived ne est to the building were summoned, and those who resided at a distance were telegraphed to hasten to the scene, The patients, who were scattered through various wards, were removed to one department, beds were made ready, and the different rooms and haliways soon became ful! of oMcials, rushing to and fro, endeavoring to make as king preparations as possible for the recep- tion of the unfortunate victims, The excitement then prevailing was roused to its highest pitch by the announcement that over five huudred persons had been killed, and that the capacity of the institu- tion would therefore be severely taxed, All the surgeons of the Pole Department, as well as those connected with tue hospi. tal itself, were on hand in a short time, and every one of them seemea prepared for sad and heavy labors. Then began to flow in a stream of dangerously wounded and dying persons, An im- mense concourse of people assembled around the edifice, attracted thither by friends, fright or cu- riosity. The members of the Fire Department near by were in prompt aitendance, carrying in the wounded and dying. First of ali there appeared a woman with her garments torn to shreds, her face covered with gore, her hair streaming wildly adown her shoulders and her hands wrenched tn agony and despair. At intervals she uttered piercing cries and called out “On, my bady! my baby! Where is my poor child that waa in my arms?’ No one then knew where the infant was, It sub- sequently transpired that her child had been almost rent asunder by a hage splinter. It was conveyed in the agonies of death to the hospital, but it shorty uttered its last 1eeble scream on one of the beds, Then there came @ youth about eighicen years of age, remarkably handsome in ap- pearance and dressed in costly apparel. Tits face, hands and clothes were spotted with blood; he was evidently sane with agony, for the skin nao peeled off his arms and legs and tt was manifest that he conld not long endure the internal injuries he had received. He was carried up stairs and placed face downwards on the Noor, Here he lay apparently unconscious, except when he jamped spasmodically with torturing pain. Another carriage ‘and agother victim arrived, A murmur of anguish arose from the assembled throng outside, while a Mr. Philips, @ Wealihy gentleman, from Thirty- filth street, upwards of sixty years of age, was slowly lowered from the vehicle. His features were invisible, for bis Kkul! had been struck heavily with a piece of wood, blackening his entire face, and large busters: covere 1 his cheeks and forenead. When removed to the ward he sat groaning and hegying to be taken home, Tis request, of course, was not granted. When these persons were placed in suitable positions the doc- tors hastened to cover their wounds with linsced oil and lime water. Carriage after carriage was meanwhile bee driven to the doors, each containing elther wounded or dying persons. A man and wife with one of their two children, were the next brought to view. They were all scalded mn a frighttul manner, their faces being swolien aud their TODIRS TERRIBLY CRUSHED by beams of wood. They must have been grouped together on the boat, At twenty minutes past five o'clock death put an end to the sufferings of the iittle daughter, and by the time that this narrative strides the eyes of the public the mother, too, will have been launened into eter- nity, The husband caunet survive very long and Whe boy has not been found, Very nearly the same sale can be told of each of the passengers as they were first brought to view at the hospital. Leaving the officials down stairs to perform their sad work of carrying in the victims, our reporter stepped ‘Again upstairs to obtain a view of the AGONIZING PATIENTS as they appeared In the various wards, On entering one of the apartinents there could be seen stretched on the corner bed @ middle-aged man dying.
