The “Daily Mail’s” Belgrade correspondent reports that the bridegroom and 35 guests were incinerated during a wedding feast in the village of Sretnitza. Two hundred guests were drinking the couple’s health, when flames shot through the floor, which collapsed, hurling everybody among blazing bales of hay and straw, on the floor below.
It is reported that the fire was started by a disappointed suitor, for whom the police are searching.
