Paws, May 5. The terrible lire at
Grand Bazaar de Chanste, a temporary
wooden structure, 100 yards long and
sixty yarda wide, erected in the Rue
Jean Goujon, for the annual charity fair,
f which nil the inoat prominent society
ladies of Paris are patronesses, has
thrown ttie French capital into mourn
ing. The conflagration, which broke out
shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday, in
Kinetomagraph booth, near the stall of
Duchess d'Uzes, while from 1500 to 2000
people were present, is believed to have
caused the loss of over 200 lives. As
this dispatch is sent, early Wednesday
worning, 111 charred corpses have been
recovered, together with twelve portions
f bodies, the identity of which may
never be established.
Since 5 o'clock this morninsr, crowds
have been flocking to the Palais du
L'Industrie, where many bodies and in
jured persons were taken. At 0 o'clock
tt detachment of the garde republique
relieved the detachment of infantry
which had been on duty all night about
the scone of tlie catastrophe.
KUAItCIIIXG THE ItUINH.
The search for the dead continues. ,
Wiifttitities of coins, watches, rings, neck
'aces and brackets buvu been nicked tin
'n the debris. As soon as bodies are
claimed by anxious relatives or others '
who have been hovering in despair about j
the spot throughout the nit-lit, they are
placed in carriages and taken to their
' i jrmer hoaxes.
The scene at night was reinaikable.
Long lines of infantry were drawn up
in cordon around the dreadful spot.
Bonfires, torches, electric lights and gas
jets used to illuminate the scene, re
flected upon the bayonets and accoutre
ments of the soldiers, and threw a
ghastly illumination upon the houses in
the vicinity, the windows of which were
crowded during the most of the night
with people watching the work of horror.
Now and theu a hearse would be called
from the line of vehicles stationed in
proximity, a black mass would be ten
derly lifted into it, and another unfor
tunate victim of the conflagration taken
to one of the temporary morgues in the
Palais du L'Industrie or the neighbor
ing Hospital Beaujeu. Frequently as
many as a dozen hearses were gathered
together in the court yard and opposite
to the entrance to the Palais du L'In
dustrie. Hundreds of coffins were
ranged ready to receive the bodies, in
most cases charred beyond recognition.
GIUKK OF THE HVUVIVUKS.
Upon several occasions a distracted
father or mother half mad with grief
would endeavor to force his or her way
way through the line of soldiers or the
inner line of police drawn about tlie
blackened ruins. Children were there
weeping for lost parents, and the oldest,
youngest, and middleaged joined in
murmurs of lamentation and exchanged
hopes and fears.
The atmosphere at the hall in the
Palais du L'Industrie, where the burned
bodies were ranged, was almost unbear
able, and there again heartrending
scenes were witnessed. Men, women
and children passed up and down, weep
ing distractedly before the lines of black
bodies, eagerly scanning the terrible re
mains, and now and then throwing
themselves down by the bide of some
seemingly unrecognizable corpse in
which they by Instinct, which no out
sider could understand, made out Eome
dearlv loved and missing relative.
