A WOMAN CRAZED BY GRIEF.
An Incident of the Fearful Pitts
burgh Explosion.
T!i “ Whlow of Ocf of the I,ohg Kansan M
norn Fires Her Dwelling— She and
Four Children Burned to Death.
Philadelphia Times.
Pittsburg, Kan., Now 12.—i'Vnlay's
mine disaster hail a terrible sequel Sun
day night. Among the sixty victims who
perished in the deadly shaft was Louis
Berthuue, a brawny Frenchman. Sun
day morning his remains were brought
to the surface in a cage, and as the rough
rescurers were laying them on the ground
his wife, Maria, burst through the line of
spectators, with a shriek, and fell pros
trate beside the bleeding and mangled
corpse?. Tender hands bore her to the
lit tie hut-like home over the hill, and one
of the physicians, who had been on guard
at the mouth of the shaft since Saturday
in the vain hope that some of the unfor
tunate miners may yet be living, restor
ed her to consciousness. W hen she awoke
she was sullen and silent. Kindly neigh
bors tried to solace her, but their words
of sympathy fell on unappreciative ears.
She neither evinced sorrow nor made re
ply to anybody. Then the neighbors
noticed that Mrs. Berthune’s eyes were
strangely dilated, and that there was a
suggestive blankness in them. The doc
,tor said her reason was gone. But as
she was not violent and did not. evince a
disposition to harm anybody she was
left in the hut with her five children. The
hitter, all unconscious of the tragedy
which had made them fatherless and
wrecked their mother’s mind, were romp
ing over the rough pine floor, their child
ish voices ringing gleefully through the
lint. The neighbors went back to the
shaft of death to watch the*, progress of
the rescuers.
Mrs. Berth line sat for hours staring
blankly at thefloor. Her little one tugg
ed frantically at the skirt of her dress, r<*
peatedly called her name and tried other
childish expedients to attract her atten
tien. She did not seem to notice them.
Her bereavement was so intense that she
could think of nothing but the mangled
body which was lying in the improvised
morgue that vas hastily erected Satur
day to shelter the victims of the mine.
Toward dark, however, she seemed to re
cover from the trance. Jumping from
her chair she walked over to n rude bed,
and, taking a sleeping infant in her arms,
she pressed it close to her breast. The
child awoke and screamed faintly, as if
frightened at the maternal attention,but
when it saw its mother’s face its fears
seemed to vanish. It cooed joyfully and
buried its pudgy fists in its mother's flow
ing hair. Mrs. Berthuue then approach
ed her other children and kissed them one
by one, and in return they caressed her
fondly.
“Come with me,” she commanded,
breaking her self-enforced silence for the
first firne.
She passed through the narrow door
and the children toddled on behind. Up
the side of the hill they all clambered.
The younger of the four was helped by
his mother and eldest sister, a pretty
miss of 9 years. When they reached the
brow of the hill Mrs. Berthuue struck off
to the right, following a path which led
direct to the morgue. The place was
surrounded by grim-looking miners who
were carrying lighted lanterns, and weep
ing and hysterical women and children
who were searching vainly for the re
mains of loved ones. Such a picture of
human misery as was presented to the
poor woman and her children was calcu
lated to make stouter hearts falter, but
Mrs. Berthuue was apparently unmoved
by it. Commanding her four elder chil-
dren to remain*near the narrow entrance
she went inside and picked her way cauti
ously among the lifeless bodies until she
reached that ot her husband. She knelt
down beside it, removed a gunny sack
that covered the blood-besmeared face,
and then poised the infant so its innocent
blue eyes could take in the revolting
sight. The baby cooed and waved its
little arms delightfully.
Then the mother returned to her wait
ingchildren outside the dead house. She
led them into the grewsome place one by
one,until all had seen the bloody features
of their father, and then she led them
home again. The first thing she did after
she had marshaled them into the hut was
to put them abed, the next to start a
roaring fire in the stove. The infant and
the three others next oldest,tired by their
exertions, quickly went to sleep. But the
eldest girl could notsieep. Her mother's
strange behavior had frightened her, and
in a vague wav she was sensible of the
fact the poor, demented woman contem
plated some fearful crime. Aside from
her fear on that score, however, the sight
she had witnessed at the morgue—her
dead father’s mangled body, the rows ot
corpses that lay stretched in the mud on
either tide of it, and the heartrending
anguish of women and children —had left
such an impression on her mind that
sleep was out of the question. So she
lav perfectly still and watched her moth
er, who was sitting close beside the stove,
Mrs. Berthuue scarcely’ moved for
■ hree hours, and only once during that
ime did she avert her eyes from the
door. The first evidence of life she
.-vinced was when she passed her hand
• ver her face in a dazed fashion. The
-otion seemed to arouse her, for she
•u.nped to her feet and began to gestic
ulate wildly. The girl's alarm increased
but she remained perfectly quiet, believ
ing that her mother's frenzy would soon
pass away and that she would relapse
into her trance-like condition again.
But the woman momentarily seemed to
grow wilder and uncontrollable, and
instead of ceasing the motion of her
arms increased. She continued the pan
tomime for several minutes before she
finally stopped, and then she walked
over to the corner nearest the stove and
♦
picked up a coal-oil can, part of the i on
tents of which she deliberately poured
over the skirt of her dress. The remain
der of the oil she emptied upon the bed
where her children were sleeping peace
fully, unconscious of threatened harm or
danger.
The eldest girl had viewed these prep
arations with terror, and was preparing
to spring from the oil-soaked bed and
fly for life, when her mother lighted a
piece of paper and deliberately applied
the flame to her dress and threw the
blazing remnant upon the bed. In an
instant almost the whole interior of the
hut was ablaze. The girl jumped from
the bed and run for the half-open door.
Her mother, whose dress was burning
fiiercelv, caught her in her arms and
tried to prevent her escape. The girl
fought like a tigress for freedom, her
struggles being strengthened by the
death shrieks of the other children, who
were writhing in the flames that were
fast consuming them and the hut. Mrs.
Berthuue passed her arms around the
struggling child’s body, and, unmindful
of the fire that was slowly broiling her
own flesh, endeavored to hold her, but
her strength soon gave way before the
awful torture. The girl finally made
one heroic effort to tear herself loose
from the maniac, and succeeded.
Released from the arms of her mother,
the girl staggered through the door and
fell headlong into a ditch, from which
she was rescued a tew minutes later by a
party of miners who were attracted to
the Berthuue hut by the flames. The
poor child was terribly burned and the
doctors who first saw her said she could
not survive the night, but when they
began to treat her wounds they held out
faint hopes of her recovery. The miners
made a gallant effort to save the hut
and inmates, but the tire had made so
much progress that they were compelled
to give up and stand by and watch it
burn to the ground. When it was all
consumed they raked through the glow
ing embers until they found the charred
bodies of the four children and Mrs. Ber
thune. They were found huddled to
gether. The bodies were carried to the
dead house on the hill and laid beside
the mangled corpse of the miner, whose
bloody face was hidden under a gunny
sack.
