Terrible Calamity.


Last Tuesday evening, while a
large audience was present at the
Brooklyn Theatre, New York, the

and soon the entire stage scenery
was wrapped in flames. AS usual

sued the people rushing for the
only avenues of escape trampling
each other to,dcath. Three hundred
and fifty are missing, and are
supposed to have persisted in the
burning structure. We CLEAN the

IN. Y. Herald. March 20.l

IN. 4. HcThlu. MlTcii Zp.l
The date of the opening Of the Ex-
hibtion is less than eight weeks distant,
but a vast amount Of work yet remains
to be done to have everything in place
on the 10th Of May. The three princi-
pal Exhibition structures the main
building, Machinery Hall and Horticul-
tural Hall have been for some time
ready for the reception Of goods, but ex-
hibitors do not seem to have taken ad-
vantage Of these facilities, and the
buildings. consequently, remain com
paratively empty. The remaining two
OF the five main structures Agrlcul-
tural building and Memorial Hall, or
the Art Gallery, with its new extension
are yet unfinished, considerable
work remaining to be done on
both The knowledge OF these facts has
led observers to fear that the emptiness
Of the completed buildings and the
backwardness Of two important ones at
this late date have indicated an indlffer-
ence on the part OF exhibitors in send,
ing goods to occupy the spaces assigned
them, and a probability that every
thing would be in confused unreadlness
at the opening day. To be behind tune
with an international exhlbltlon Is 10
follow precedent, to be unprepared at
the opening day being the rule with
such affairs conducted Dy the eneee

4 Yrw<rc~tlsg Attorney Comes to Grief
mud fhe PenItentiary.

IFrufD fHs ~SuHilh bbIop, mHfcn lbl
John l.. Barr, formerly an attorney at
Osceola, Mo, and later county attorney
Of Mcdonald county, was arrested u
few DAYS ago at Pineville, in Mcdonald
county, and incMcerated in the Jail at
Osceol., charged with the crime Of
bigamy. lie had his trial this week,
which resulted In his being found guilty
and sentenced TO the Penitentiary for
two years.
THE HISTORY OF BARR
is one which abounds In domestic Incl
dents. He had too great q regard for
matrimonial alliances. The law allows
q man one wife, and some think that too
liberal. Not SO with Barr. He married
his first wife in Pennsylvania, after
which he went to Iowa, where he en-
tered the army as u private. After the
war he returned to Iowa, but left that
State and his wife both in 1867.
He came to Missouri and married
again In st. Clair county; The lady be
married had husband living at the
same time, so they were both deceiving
each other Her maiden name was
Dean, and her first husbands name was
Evans. They were both indicted for
bigamy. Barr gave straw bail and
jumped the county the indictment was
then onashed against her, when she ap-
piled for u divorce, which resulted in
her being separated from both bus-
bands.
THE UBIQUITOUS BARR
then turns up in Arkansas, where he
was put in jail for some offense, after
which he again moved to Missouri, Ia
voring Mcdonald county with his pres
ence. Here he thought 1t was time for
him to do some more marrying, ana THIS
time struck for the first families, secur-
ing the daughter OF u judge or a colonel,
we don't know which. One child blessed
this union. But true love never runs
smooth, and
