Heartrending Scenes Over the Bodies of the Victims. FRIKNDS SEEKING FOR THEIR DEAD, Corrected List of the Killed, Wounded and Missing. HOLYOKE, Maas., May 28, 1875. The shocking calamity in this city last evening, by which #0 many people were crushed and burned to death, has almost paralyzed tne com- moaity. Every aspect and circumstance of the disaster seems peculiarly sad, and the gloom which it has cast over the people has caused @ suspension of business which will prob- ably continue until mext week. The terrible record of casualties reported m last night’s despatcnes was not exaggerated, Mthough it is almost impossible, even now, to as- bertain definitcly how many lives were sacrificed. Quite a uumber have died during the day, and | many more will probably not dle scorching more than a jew hours, ls possible that the NUMBER OF LIVES LosT will foot up nearly 100 tn the aggregate, The scenes of grief and mourning throughout tne val- jey are not unlike those witnessed at (he Mill River hood, afew miles above, just one year ago this wonth, It seems as iftms section of counwry was specially doomed to inflictions resulting from folly and ignorance, The dam gaye war because {t was not secure, and a number of people were Lurnea to death last night because the choreh afforded no adequate sources of escape in case of accident, THE DSMEDIATE CAUSB ofthe fire is said to nave proceeded from the burning of incense on the altar, the flame of wWhicn ignitéd some tinsel paper used for orna- ments, and this in turn quickly set the whole Interior of the church on fire, with the terrible Consequences which lave been reported. EXCITEMENT AMONG THE OUTSIDERS. While tne conflagration was in progress wild efforts were made by the people to rusu peli-mell tuto the burning buiiding to rescue tueir friends, and it was with difficuity that they were kept back, This was particwarly the case with parents, who had on the first impuise rushed from the church to save their own lives, but saddenly re- membered that they had left cnildren behind to perish. Actual personal violence had to be used in several cases to keep women back. All about tho streets men, women and children were wandering, piteously inquiring if their iriends had been saved. 0} oman was positive that her busband had perished and could only be quieted by the assur- ance from a friend that he bad just been walking With him. One of the most touching cases was that of two little girls, about twelve years of age, who rushed for the entrance of the builaing while the fire was at its height, thinking to find their father and mother, who were within. They could only be restrained by an officer, who took chemin Risarms. One of the most amusing incidents oc- curred at the rope drawn around the plot where the wounded were laid. A woman, who called herself a mesmerist, tried to pass in, when she Was conirontea by young man doing Buard duty. She began to wall, but Whe soon went away disgusted, remarking, “That's the strongest-minded maa I ever saw.” Those engaged in pulling out the bodies noticed iat almost every woman had @ bracelet on her Wrist, and all had evidently worn thelr bess for a special occasion, It is 4 DISPUTED QUESTION Whether both the iront doors were available for escape. one of them was closed, and that it was impossi- bie to open it on account of the crush. One man, It 19 asserted, wemt to the closed door and, Sourisuing acinbd, threatened violence to any one ‘who came near, in order to get the crowd away, but without success, Others state as positivey ‘hat both doors were open. THE CHURCH SocIRTY was established about seven years ago, and Father Dufresne haa been the only pastor, Tue parish included ali the French Catbolics of the tity, Whose number 1s estimated at from 2,000 to £,500 persous, THE CHURCH was erected in 1870, and its dimensions were survive their terri- Indeed, it About 100 by 60 feet, two stories, built entirely of | pine, witn galieries on the sides and norta end about tweaty-five feet wide. There were two Goors in the north end and a vestibale, irom Which two doors opened into the body of tne church. The galleries opened into the vestioule. At the rear end was another door, by which a Jew persons escaped. Immediately upon ine breaking out of the flames all the occupants of she galieries rusned to the east door, and crowdea 60 that they /el| upon one another and CHOKED UP THR DOORWAY, ‘with their bodies piled in all ways seven or eight feet deep, and here most of the lives were lost. From this mass Chief Mullin rescued one young Woman, aiter having taken of two dead bodies irom above her, It was aimost impossibie to face the fames, and Chief Mullin and others nad their clothes almost burned from them and were badly burned themseives about the hands. in the rear ofthe church was the priest’s residence, which ‘Was also destroyed. The walls were pulled dowo alter the fre was nearly put out. One woman jampea from vhe bighest window upon the frout steps, breaking an arm, bat sue is Bot known to Rave been otgerwiso injured.

There are those who state positively that — | to Holyoke hose struck the brave rescuers, and, un doubtedly, saved them from being burned aliv ‘The first persons drawn out were burning, but they passed directly. through the stream of water, and the Games which were devuuring them were ex- tnguisied. Some of the poor creatares tell Yuinting on the long fight of wooden steps leading dows to the street, aud afew were able to walk, though with considerable effort. By this me te entire Fire Department had arrived, and they worked with such energy and will that when the fire was extinguished the charred wooden walls of the structure were standing, They were puiled down by the Look and Ladder men in order that a search for thé boales might be made. Only a very few moments, comparatively, elapsed after the water struck the building before the fire was out, but THE DESTRUCTION TO LIFH curing that brief period of Ume was terrible. Some sprung {rom the gallery windows and were seriously injured, and one person appeared at a window completely wrapped in dames, and alter tottering there an instant, {eli to the ground dead and unrecognizable, Hundreds of men went to work a8 soon as the Oppo: tunity offered to search for the bodies, and a force of police was organized to keep back the large crowd which had gatnerea. The work of EXTRICATING THE BODIES was 3ad indeed, and the greater number of them were found in the fatal entryway, burned, some oftnem toacrisp. The body of one woman was found in the seat she had occupied, her clothing entirely burned off. A fleshy woman, weighing some 180 pounds, was dragged screaming from the mass, She was carned @ short distance from the church and placed on the grass, while the flesh actually peeled off her back, In a moment she fel over dead. To-day has been chiedy occupied in preparing the bodies for burial, and most of them will prob- ably be committed to the earth to-morrow. A PUBLIC PONERAL j will be beld at ten o'clock in the morning Inside the half finished brick churen which was s00n to replace the one destroyed, and immediately there- after the charred remains wili be conveyed to the cemetery for intermeat, The central morgue or charne! selected for the cofiming of the unfortu- nate victims was the basement of Park street schoolhouse, and the tweaty-seven which were first conveyed to @ boarding house were aiter- ward removed thither, swelling the number in the basemenc to fifty-one, Besides these there were some twenty bodies recognized by friends and conveyed home. THO SCENES IN THE SCHOOLHOUSB basement all night and during this forenoon were sickening and harrowing. Stumps of burned to a crisp, protruded from under the sheets, and as the Jace cloth was lifted from the heads the scarred and blackened remains were disclosed. In some instances the features were distorte‘, as though extreme agony nad been suf- Jerred before death ensued; but many looked calm, as though smothered, yet they all were blackened with smoke. Some were burned beyond the possibility of identification, nothing rematoing except the trunk of the body. The bodies were placea in rows, each coverel with @ winding shect, and many of them nothing but ghustly, blackened skeletons, As early us seven o'clock in the morning between two and three thousand people had gatnered outside the nign picket fence which sarrounds the school building, anxiously | awaiting tue time when tney might be aamitted to searca among the dead for their missing friends. HEARTRENDING SCENES were being constantly enacted at the gatewa: which was guarded by @ squad of poilce, Mothe’ clasped their hands and begged the officers, with tears streaming down their cheeks, to be permitted go in and 00k jor ther cnildre) Jathefs asked tremulousiy to be ad: mitted, that they might identify, if possible, their sons; wives desired to search for their hu band brot! his sisters were there, r was inquiring if the officers knew whether ‘The sternest oMciais gave way involuntarily to their emotions at times, aud | when the gates were opened so tuata few per- sons coula be admitted at atime, they could not resist the pathetic vippeisanade to them, and escn delegation of people admitved was twice as iarge as they intended it should have been. Eagerly the friends passea aloug trom one body to another in the long blackened rows, hope struggling with fear for the mastery for a iew moments, ana then a wailing cry, @ half smotnered groan or a piercing shriek told too plainly that some had found taeir dead, Occasionally one of the searchers would pause beiore a black and sbapelt mass, almost sure, yet not certain, that this was all that remained of the relative whom he sought—perhaps a wife or motner—atiracted by a slight resemblance in form or features, yet 80 trifling as not to be depended upon for purposes The agony of the searehers in these cases was most intense, and they would finally depart, oot kKoowing whether to claim the body as that of their kindred or not. Many a | strong man cried aloud as he saw all that was leit of a beloved form, black and crisped in deato. From many of the bodies the flesh of the head, neck and limbs had been entirely burne: aud the bones were charred to ciaders. Occasion- ally might ve seen & woman hurrying from corpse to corpse to find ner hasband, the look of agony increasing as euch uncovered face proved not to be the one sought, tli at last she recognized her own by sume serap of clothing or familiar article. aud the piercing wall of anguisb that followed would meit every benolder, As fast astne re- mains*were identified w ticket bearing the name and age was pinned upon them and the friends passed out to allow others tocomein, Perhaps the MOST SOUL-HARROWING SIGHT of this distressing occasion was the recognition by Paul Jeter of the crisped body of his wife, Louise Jete:. His left arm bonga useless stump, und pis face was swathed in cloths and fearialiy bilstered, He looked like a corpse in its sbroud as, supported by men, he wag held over the only unidentified body, aud knew it must be bis wife, But bits of clothing were shown him and other things upon the body, and suddeniy a gleam of recognition lighted up bis biisterea face, and he was sure it Was she, An officer remarked, as be removed the sheet irom om the scorched and bDiackened face of a young giri, which stul bore traces of great beauty:— “Phat was the prettiest girl in the city. Idon't know her name, but I have often seen her going | to and from ber work.” A shriek interrupted bis remarks, and the giri’s mother, wuo had moved up unobserved ana had just obtaimed a gilmpse of the face over tne ofl. cer’s shoulder, fed all frantio trom th aod ran weeping to her home. Throngn the crowd around the sehoolnouse | yard tottered an old woman of sixty. Her nus- band, several years her seoior, bad gone away last evening, and, a8 be bed notreturned, 1) wile jeared that he migat oe among tne victims, With an anxious expression upon her aged iace she Went into the basement, and there, alters littie search, her worst (ears were confirmed. “He was ail 1 bad in the world,” saia she, as she moved slowly and sadiy away, “and was my only support.” flaif a dozen wallets appeared from the pockets of sympatietic bystanders like magic, and quitea hittle purse was made up tor her ina few mo- ments. Tun body of a womam held in the hand a faa, and she Was recoguized as the person who was seea inthe gallery endeavoring with her fan to quench the fame when it frat srarted. F in the middie of the forenoon the general public Were admitio’. They poured ine solid stream of homanity fcr over an hour, passing directly up and out as the [rout entrance, the faces of some Of the bodies being Uncovered that they migut be | seen. Later in the day most Of the bodies were romoved by tueir friends. THE SCENE IN THE STRERTS of Holyoke this afternoon was the saddest the city has over witnessed. Veniciss containing the coftined bodies of the deaa moved through the thoroughfares in various directions, and peovie on the waiks stopped involuntary and gazed alter them Unui they disappeared irom view, & CoRONRN'S JURY wos Summoned to-day, Wus tue excitement con- limbs, | husbands or wives, and here and there a | room | NEW.

A TIMELY WARNING. | To Tam Eprror or THe HenaLp:— With the impression formed by reading your graphic account of the Holyoke disaster still fresu upon me I take pen in hand with the endeavor to avert, if possiole, a similar catastrophe. On Saturday last I visited the Hebrew synagogue in Clinton street, between Houston and Stanton Streets, and was astonished to Ond that although great alterations had pecn made tn the building the de‘ects which should have been first remedied den‘iy #0 intent on merely beautifring their syna- gogue that it appears to have entirely escaped tueir minds to provide for the safety of their fel- low worshippers im the galleries. The Depart- ment of Unsale Batidings, which ought certainly to have caused an examination to be made of the place while the repairs were in progress, exaivit their wonted watchfalness over the public safety and seem to have entirely forgotten the lesson taught by the St. Andrew’s church disaster, The archi'sct who designed the constraction of the building seems to nave taxed his ingenuity for the purpose of cutting of all escape irom the galleries in case of Ore. Toe stairs leading to them are so exceeaingly steep, narrow and wind- ing that it Would be utterly impossible for a num- ber of excited people to escape from tne gaileries without the occurrence o: many fatal accidents.
