THE PARIS HORROR
Vivid Description of the
Ghastly Scene.
BIRXED PAST ALL RECOGNITION
iioiUfh I'ouml'l'ileil In II raptThe Demi
the Women ut 1'ianco'H Oldest
and Nolili-Ht I'mullles.
Ntw Youk, May 6. A dispatch to the
Herald from Pans says :
The scene on entering Porte Eight, of
the Palaihe de L'Industrie last night,
when the bodies of the victime of the
Rue Jean Goujon were taken there, was
of a fearful description. There had
heen placed the charred corpses of what
had been a few hours before beautiful
women of the very best families of Paris.
The bodies were laid out on roughly im
provised platforms of boards taken from
anywhere about the place. They were
charred beyond recognition. Almost all
the bodies were burned about the head
and feet, while the middle of the body
remained comparatively intact. Ambu
lances kept coming up in a stream,
bringing more and more of the unfor
tunate victims, the crowd outside giving
way in awe-stricken silence. The Rue
Jean Goujon was almost impaesable.
Of the bazaar building, in which only
a few hours before everything had been
fair and beautiful, there remained only
a few charred poleB. Inside the wrecked
buildinu there was nothing but pieces of
rags, wood and human remains. The
firemen were discing among the debris
hi search of the bodies. There were not
enough ambulances, mid the i.odies had
to be placed in wraps. Then came foI
fliers, police and firemen to carry away
the dead, and they all worked in silence
and with a will." The soldiers cjrried
fcheets in which to wrap and transport
bodies. There were women nurjes from
1'IJospital Beaujon, also with sheets,
waiting to cover up the dead before they
were taken away in the ambulance?.
Near the western hall, which bounded
what bad been the baztar, bodies were
literally found piled in heaps and their
position seemed to indicate that a terror
stricken rush had taken place, or an in
stinctive huddling together in the face
ot death. There were pieces of under
skirts all over the ruine and fragments
of woolen garments and corset covers.
Tiny little slippers were, everywhere to
be seen, crisp and charred by the heat.
On one side was a pile of valuable jew
els, etc., guarded by policemen. There
were bracelets and rings, completely free
from flesh, showing how terrible had
been the flames in their fury.
bTATKMENTS OK SPECTATORS.
I spoke to two women who were
standing near the ruins. The elder one
was Mine. Rochezautier, and the younger
was a servant.
"We were attracted by the cries of the
ladies," said Mine. Rochezautier. "Oh !
such cries! We called to the men in the
Hotel de Palais, which fronts on 17 Cors
de la Rei'ne. It was the work of a mo
ment to tear down the iron bars of the
windows and to throw out a chair. We
hauled the poor women in there. They
were bo frightened that they did not stay
long. They were so terror-stricken that
many could not cry. But many were
lost and I saa- several rush out from the
flames and drop dead. We eaved at
least 150."
Mile. Ie Comte, of 22 Rue Jean Gou
jon, said :
"The lire broke out at 4 :30 o'clock. It
was terribly sudden. The heat was
worse than the emoke. You could not
go into the street for fear of tlio heat.
Tho bazaar burntd up just as if the
wood had been toakel with kerosene. I
should think there were 3500 people
there, because, you know, the nuncio
was there during the afternoon and that
made an extra attraction. Ho had
hardly left when the flames buret out.
They 'aeemed to spring up all over.
"So fierce was the heat that all win-

dows and shop fronts opposite were
cracked or burst open. Birds In the
windows dropped dead from their
perches as if struck by lightning, and
many of the neighbors wero so para
lyzed by fear that they did not know
what to do. The Are lasted only twenty
minutes, but such a twenty minutes I
shall never forget! Women ran shriek
ing into the street and fell dead in the
roadway overcome by the heat, burning
from head to foot."
A big Frenchman, a mart-hand do vln,
named Corbel, said :
"All I could think of doing was to get
a hammer and rush to the burning
building and break down the sides, for
you know no ono could get out of the
main entrance, or no one seemed to able
to get out. We hammered away and
smashed down some of tho elgnH of the
chop inside of tho building and saved
people the beat wo could. They were all
rich people. Some had their clothes
literally in flames; others were burning
about the breast and neck, but the great
er number had their, hats in flames. We
tore their hat? oil, pulled tho burning
hair from their heads, and nil tho time
they shrieked, 'Oh, Mon Dit-u! Mon
Dien!' I saw one young and beautiful
tii rl rush into the middle of tho street.
Her hair and hat were in Dames. Shu

could hardly stand the heat."
A cabdriver said :
"I stopped to take two ladies trorn
near tho Louvre. l'hey wero middle
aged and richly dressed. They told mu
to drive to the bazaar. This I did, and
I was waiting for them when the fire
broke out. I have not seen them since.
OltlGIN Ot' THE KIltK NOT KNOWN.
Various theories aro being advanced
by the police and people who wero eye
witnesses. Some say the lire was caused
by a park from a cinematograph.
Others say it was caused by tho explo
sion of gas from a stove. Others again
said that a lamp which was smoklnu
burst aud set tho place on fire. But
what struck me was the unanimity of all
as to the suddenness of the conflagration
and the way in which the flames spread.
BCKNKHATTHK MOKOUK.
In the extemporized morgue at the
Palais do l'Industrie there aro crowds
tryinir to identify remains of victims of
the great fire. It was a difficult task.
A terrible looking body waa brought out
to tho door so as to have as much light
upon it as possible. The police became
suddenly more stringent than ever, and
no one was allowed to enter tho build
ing. From mouth to mouth pasted the
word "that ia tho Duchesa d'Aloncon,"
but now to recognize such a charred
mass? In the face of such a difficult
problem the relatives and friends of the
bereaved family had recourse to the
lamily dentist. Tho latter remembered
certain fillings of the teeth, and could
recognize 1i!h handiwork even under
such awful circumstances. In a sjiort
whi'u it was established that tho re
mains wero those of tho unfortunate
duchets, and very quickly a pine coffin
wua screwed down and taken away.
f A woman approached the door BUp
p'orled by two friends and preceded by a
venerable priest. She hail conm to iden
tify her daughter, but while the work of
identification of the remains of the
Duchess d'Alenon was going on sho fell
in hysterics aud her crleu were so terri
ble that a cab hud to be called. .She was
taken away apparently mad between
two policemen,
For obvious reasons disinfectants were I
freely used inside the building, and thej
odor of carbolic cid was so strong that
holding ono'w handkeichief to tho farm
aild a plentitul use of stiong perlume
was insufficient to remove tho penetra
ting fumes.
