A BATHING HOUSE ON FIRE.
A terrible accident has just occurred at the great bathing establishment in the neighborhood of the Ternes. The boiler burst, destroying the gas pipe around, and the gas igniting set fire to the establishment, which, abounding in wooden partitions, burned with great rapidity. On the first floor there wer* two men in baths, and on the second floor two ladies. The attendants, who had, as usual, locked the bathers up in their chambers, in the panic forgot to open the doors. The men jumped out of the windows and were horribly mutilated, but the ladies were burned to death.
