AN APPALLING CATASTROPHE.

The Ring Theater at Vienna, which
was built in 1873, to accommodate the
demand for dramatic entertainments
occasioued by the influx of people to
attend the exhibition, caught fire last
Thursday night during the perform
ance of an opera. The theater was
built to seat 1000 persons, and almost
every seat was filled. The first act of
the play represents students beer
house, in which a lamp is burning on
table. This lamp was accidentally up
set, and set fire to one side of the
scenes. The flames spread rapidly, and
the lights were extinguished, and in
the confusion which ensued, hundreds
were crushed to death or sufocated by
the smoke and fumes. At latest ac-
counts over one thousand persons were
missing, and it is thought the list of
dead will reach at least seven hundred.
Some of the bodies are burned to Gin
der, while others appear to have died
from suffocation alone. Several of those
who escaped are raving maniacs, rem
dered so by the terrible ordeal through
which they passed.

A CRANK.-Some time in the fall.
a year ago, a young nan by the
name of Alex. Kemper, came to this
city to work at his trade, that of a
plasterer and brick mason, and after
the seasons work closed up, stayed
here, boarding at the Elk Point
house, He semed to be a quiet in
offensive fellow, although at times
addicted to imlibing too much
whisky. During the time of his
stay at the Elk Point house, G. H.
Walworth, Esq, boarded at the
same hotel, and of course ms a fell
low boarder, became acquainted
with Kemper, and apparently every
thing was pleasant and agreeable
between them until in the spring
about the time Kemper left he got a
crazy notion in his head that Mr..
Walworth vas prosecuting him, and
he acted very strange ut times. Mr..
Walworth said at the time he
thought the fellow was a little luny,
but paid no more attention to it un.
| til some time in the summer he
came back for the purpose, he said,
Of fixing the matter up with Mr..
Walworth. He stayed around a
couple of days and disappeared, but
in a couple Of months made his APP
pearance again for the same pur-
pose, but left the next day. Las,
night Kemper arrived in town again
and at once began to look up Mr..
Walworth, but did not get to sec
him until this morning. He has an
idea that Walworth exerts some su
perhu1nm influence over him, and
that he must be remoued (the words
of Guiteau) in order to free him O
this influence. He talked very
earnestly about it, and thought if il
was necessary to take Mr.. Wal
worth's heart out, he would no
finch to do it. Mr.. w. not feel
ing disposed to become a martyr tt
this mans crazy whims, laid tn
matter before the insane board thi
morning and he was locked up b,
Sheriff Bovee until Probate Judg
Smith could be notified and hi
case examined into. The fellow i
unquestionably insane, and 1t is cer
tainly dangerous to allow him !
run at large.

CLUB DANcEs.-The last of the
series Of Club dances occurred at
Yerter's hall on Monday night last,
and was pronounced by those that
attended, the best II of the five
that have been held. On this occa-
sion the ladies of the Club surprised
the male portion Of the party by
serving an elegant supper, at about
10 o'clock. The gentlemen were to-
tally ignorant Of the designs Of the
ladies until the tables were spread,
and it was surprising to the ladies
how rapidly the grub" disappeared.

CONCERT AND FEsT1vAL.--The
Sabbath school concert and festival
given at Yerter's hall last night by
the ladies of the Baptist church was
one of the most pleasant and enjoy
able affairs of the season. The ex.
e%rcises were begun at about seven
o'clock which consisted of songs and
Rotations by the Sabbath school
children. 1t has seldom been our
pleasure to listen to sweeter and fin
er singing, and we were very much
surprised to find SO many fine voices
among Elk Point young ladies.
Those that deserve special mention
on this occasion are the Misses Lii
lie and VERNE Fauss, Miss May Mil
Ter, Miss Rachel Hopkins, and Miss
Ota Budde. They have very fine
voices and sing exceedingly well.
The young gentlemen also did well
in singing their parts. The little
ones under the training of Mrs. N.
A. Kirk, just capped everything and
brought down the house. In fact
the proceedings all through was of a
pleasing and entertaining character
and we understand, the excellence OF
which was largely due to Mrs. Kirk
and Capt. Duncan. superintendent,
who had charge of the stage.
After the entertainment the chill
dren were placed around bountifully
laden tables which were placed
along the center of the hall, each
class to a table and presided over by
the teacher. There were also several
tables for larger folks, who were
kindly invited to sit down to as fine
a supper as was ever spread in Elk
Point. Altogether it was a delight
full occasion and everybody enjoyed
themselves.

Geo. f. Hayes, Esq, Of Long
Pine Neb., is in town spending the
holidays among relatives. Mr..
Hayes is foreman of a force of
bridge builders, on the st. Paul rail-
road at the above mentioned place
and it was his intention to return
there yesterday aud take charge of
his work, but while out riding in
the country with his sister, Mrs. E.
c. Ericsson, on last Saturday, he had
the misfortune to shoot a pistol-ball
through his hand. He had pulled
his revolver out TO shoot at a prairie
chicken and while breaking it down
to see whether it was all right, one of
the cartridges exploded, and the ball
passed through his hand, inficting
a very painful wound, which will
prevent him from resuming his work
for a few weeks.
