HORRIBLE HORROR.
Burning Of an Opera House at Vienna
Last Night.
1000 PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING
145 Bodies Recovered and 800 Lives
Supposed to be Lost.

VIENNA, Dec. $3.50 p. m.-The Ring
theatsr, formerly comic opera house, where
Sarah Bernhardt recently performed, took fire
at o'clock tonight, just before the begin
ming of the opera "Les Centss de Hoffman"
The fire was caused by the fall of lamp on
the stage. The house was tolerably filed, and
the loss of life is great. Up to the present
time seventy bodies have been recovered.
Many persons were injured. Sixty were saved
by means of ladders, and by jumping into
clothes spread below. The scene was terrible,
the flames shooting up through the roof, and
eventually cutting the building.
II P. None hundred and forty-f five bodies
have been brought out of the theater dead.
Many bodies were consumed in the galleries
and other elevated parts of the building. The
chief cause of the catastrophe was that in the
confusion the iron portion separating the
stage from the auditorium was not lowered.
Thousands of people assembled in
the neighboring streets, where they
could hear the cries OF agouy
of the people at the windows of the theatre,
praying to be saved. The rapidity ofthe
flames prevented the people from taking ad-
vantage of the ordinary exits. Only small
portion of the audience saved themselves by
leaping from the windows, three stories high,
into clothes spread balow.
idnight-Taking out bodies from the
tneater continues. It is estimated that 300
persons perished. Some of the bodies are
fearfully disfgured. Several persons were in
jured in springing from the windows of the
theater. Among the missing are Herr Fife,
court musical direct or, and Herr Helmeas-
peager. Most of the bodies identified up to
the present time are those of tradesmen and
minor officials. On the spreading of the news
of the disaster, the performances at the other
theaters were stopped.
LONDON, Dec. s.-A Vienna dispatch says
it is estimated that the audience in the theater
numbered 2,000. Many persons were trampled
to death in the panic which ensued. As soon
as the fire was seen there was an explosion of
gas, and the audience were plunged in dark

that liabilities will not exceed $500 with am

made to Alexandr Harding, cashier, preferring
all depositions on the bank. The failure was
caused by over-stocking with goods, and by
active competition. The creditors are mostly
