A writer in the Prairie Farmer says
he accidentally rid himself of the cabbage
worm last year. He tells his story ~
follows: Like many others, we were
afflicted With tha cabbage pest or Pests,
there being two distinct 'varieties'of the
worm, agreeing IN one respect their
fondness for cabbage. We had the usual
number of plants set in our garden. We
had also large bed of carrots, in which

TIENNA'S HORROR.
Five Hundred People Burned i'm
Theatre.

Vienna, Dec. 6.-Thc Ring thea
trc, formerly the comic opera house
where Sarah Bernhard recently per.
/ formed, took fire at 7 O'Clock to-
night just before the beginning oi
the opera. The fire was caused By
the tali Of Il lamp on the stage. The
house was full and the loss OF life
was great. Up to the present time
seventy bodies were recovered.
Many persons were injured. Sixty
were saycd by means of ladders and
by jumping into cloths held below.
The scene was terrible, flames
shooting up through the roof and
eventually cutting the entire build
ing.
1t is now estimated that the loss of
life IS upward of 500.
LATER hundred and forty
five bodies have been brought out of
the thcatcr dead. Many bodies
were consumed i'll the gallery and i'll
the elevated parts of the building.
The chief cause Of the catastrophe
was that i'll the confusion the iron
partition separating the stage from
the auditorium was not lowered. n
thousand people assembled in the
neighboring streets, where they
could hear the cries of agony of the
people at the windows of the theater
praying to be saved. The rapidly
approaching flames prevented the
people from taking advantage of the
ordinary exits. Only small por-
ton Of the audience saved them
selves, leaping from the windows
into cloths below.
At midnight the taking out of
bodies from the theatre continues.
Some bodies are fearfully dlsfigured.
Several persons were injured in
springing from the windows. Among
the missing is Herr Hclmcnspurgcr.
Most of the bodies up to the present
time arc those Of tradesmcn and
minor officials.
On the spreading of the news of
the disaster the performances at the
other theatres stopped.
WORSE AND MORE or TT.
London. Dec. ga later tele-
gram from Niena dated this morn
ing says 27o bodies have been re-
covered from the ruins of Rings
theatre. The fourth gallery has not
yet been explored. 1t is believed
that not single person escaped
from that gallery, and that very few
escaped from the third gallery. The
corpscs last recovered are little more
than charred fragments. Gross neg
lect is charged against the manage
mcnt of the theatre. The law pro-
vidcs that lights shall be kept in the
corridor to the theatre so that it shall
be discernible in the event of fire
but this caution has been utterly
neglected. The person i'll charge of
the iron curtain between the stage
and the audience appears to have
fled at the first alarm.
