a conjuior , attended almost altogether by
ehildien , sovei.il thous.md being in at
tendance. The body of the hall had
been entirely cleaicd of occupants , when
some 1,200 of the little ones came itish-
ing down the stuns fiom the galloiy. At
the top of the fust tlight of stahs was a
door w Inch opened only tw enty inches ,
and thus but ono child was poimitted to
pass tluough at a time. At this point ,
while a mass of childien were pushing
forwaid , one of them fell and was unable
to tiso , owing to the others crowding.
The result was that a gieat number were
pushed dow n , trampled on and suffocat
ed. The scene was tenible. No effort
could stop the mad rush of the amighted
childien. They came on , pell-mell ,
though stiangely without much shouting ,
and soon 178 w ere knocked down and

greater number of the bodies , which w ere
badly mangled from the trampling , laid
sov en or eight feet deep. Many of the
victims , and others w ho w ore not killed ,
had their clothing torn fiom their bodies ,
and this , together with the bleeding
bodies of the unfoitunates , shows the
tenible natuio of the stiugglo. The ex

disaster spread w as tori ifie , G reat crow ds

bodies begin immediatelj. They weio
lai'J out in the hall , and the patents of
the killed w 010 admitted to identify the
bodies of their childien. A most heait-
lendmg scone tianspited while identifica

of the bodies of their little ones.

then kept on descending the scale until
