Paris, March 30. —The Gothic chureh of St. St" Sauveur on the Boulevard du Marechai Vaillant, at Lille, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The flames spread to the hospi'al of of St. Sauveur adjoining the church. There was the greatest excite ment when it was teen that the hospital would be burned. The scenes among the patients were terrible. Those who were convales cent were hurriedly directed to leave the building and the hospita attendants and others devoted themselves to receiving who were not able to help themselves. The cries of the s ck were heart rending. Four of the patients who were extremely weak succombed to fright and died before they could be taken cut. Many of the sick were received in the convent of the Little Sisters of the Poor, which is situated but a short dis tance from the scene. Ten sapper* came across what they thought was a quantity of schnapps. They each took a drink and were im mediately seized with symptoms of poisoning. Four have since died. The fire was caused by the neg lect of some plumbers who had been enployed in the tower of the church and who had either left there a burning brazier or dropped a piece of ignited charcoal. For a pain in the chest a piece of flaunel dampened with Chamber ain's Pain Balm and bound on over the seat of the pain, and another on the back between the shoulders, will afford prompt relief. This is especially valuable in cases wh< re the pain is caused Dy a cold and there is a tendency to work pneumonia . For sa.e by- Lowery Bros. Druggist, cor.
