1000 Souls Burned In a
Theatre.

The most fatal theatre fires was the
burning of the Saragossa Theatre IN
IT'S, when GOO persons lost their lives.
At the Carlsruhe Theatre, In lS47, l04
persons perished. The burning of the
Opera House, at Nice, in 1851, in which
62 persons were burned or crushed TO
death. is still fresh in the public memo
ry. In these Islands many theatres
have been burnt down, but some provi
Dental chance has always interviewed to
limit the proportions Of the catastrophe.
The fire had broken out IN the daytime !;
the performance had not begun or had
not ended or there were few spectators
in the house. Il, for example, the Sur
rey Theatre, when 1t was burnt down
during the daytime, IN 1868, had con-
tained an audience, few would have es
capped alive, SO rapid was the action OF
the flames. But Of all the calamities
which have ever in modern times over
taken crowd of human beings in a
single building, the burning of the
church Of La Compania, Santiago, 1868,
has never been equalled or approached.
La one short hour 1000 people, nearly
all ladies Of youth, rank aud beauty,
we're reduced to ashes. The flower OF
the capital OF Chill had gathered in the
church, in spirit of religious excite
ment, to pay its devotions at the closing
celebration of the Immaculate Concep
ton. Every seat was full. Nothing
that invention could suggest or wealth
supply was omitted in the adornments
of the occasion. The interior of the
church was hung from ROOF 10 floor with
floating gauze and rich drapery, and
lighted with festoons of innumerab G
parafne lamps. An acolyte, in lighting
the last lamp before the shrine, raised a
flame which spread inStantaneously. A
rush soon choked the entrances with
wall of dead and dying twelve feet in
height. The melting lead from the root
and the blazing oil of the several lamps
poured down upon the heads of 1000
tender women, who could be seen from
the windows Of neighbor.ng houses,
rushing wildly to and fro, without an
outlet of escape The falling Of the
roof put an end to their agonles, com
pleted catastrophe which stands with
out parallel The las, but not least,
was the recent burning OF the Ring
Theatre, Vienna, when about $50 lives
were lost.

As the bottle was sci out the barkeeper remarked, You look won derfully to me like an old tramp that treated few minutes ago "Oh, no,' was the reply; q guess it was my broth CT" He took his drink and walked out side, and in few minutes was again in his seat by the stove. This time he tied an old handkerchief around his neck, threw the lappels of his coat back, cinched his hat on one side, and again braced up to the bar, saying in bold tone, 'Ive got to get up pretty early in the morning and If you will give me drink I'll go home" Now, look here, my ancient sardine, I'm getting onto your little game, and it won't go. I've treated you twice within the last half an hour" "Ob, no," was the reply, in a deprecatory tone; "I think it must have been my brother" "Well, just step outside and fetch them all in; I never hurt man in my life, but I'll be damned if l wouldn't like to start in and make clean sweep of whole family" And as he reached down for his trusty club, the old man scooted out to look for hls " brother"

A DEVIEISH DEED.
Two American PrOspectors Esuth- lessiy Murdered Near the Custom Mouse.

Yesterday Senor J. Dias Pricto. Mexican consul at this place, received an official communication from the romandante at the custom-h0use an ihc san Pedro, de- tailing the particulars of the awful fate whiuh befe,i two prOspectnrs, Alexander Slles and another man whose name is unknown who leit this city on the morn ing of the 4th inst On the preceding day Stiles awaited upon the Mexican consul and asked that the proper papers should be given him and his companion, and stated that they intended going into Sonora for the purpose of prospecting. The papers were given him, and upon arrival at the custom house were duly honored, They stopped at that place several hours, and left about o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th, starting on their journey of death. Word was brought to the custom house that evening that dead bodies of two men had been found on the Cienega ranch, about nine miles from the San Pedro river, in Sonora. The guards immediately left for the scene of the killing aRd up0n-their arrival recognized the bodies as the two men ,WAoLGd left them but a few hours before. Upon examining the victims, the passport given by the consul was found and proved exclusively that one ofthe unfortunate men WAS Alex ander Stiles. The other had nothing on his person that would prove his identity. From the nature of the wounds and the absence of arms and signs of q struggle, it was demonstrated that the party had been waylaid and ruthlessly slaughtered with out giving them a chance to defend them selves. The party travelled in light wagon drawn by two horses, which were taken by the murderers, the wagon being found by the guards, who now have it awaiting a claimant. At first it was thought that the deed was the work of a struggling band of Apaches, but the next morning two white men. supposed to be "rustlers," were seen riding on the stolen horses in the direction of the Baja Sasus ranch. The murderous thieves rounded up four horses at this place and started at a brisk pace in the direction of Fort Hua, chuca. The cattle men immediately started on the trail and joined the guards in the l pursuit It is probable ere this that the
 villains have been already caught, and if so will expiate with their lives for the
 murder and robbery committed on the
 uutprtunate party

\ Kicker From Ense.

Now, here's mule story that will do yol good, especially as it comes from the east A man, wishing to examine U mules hoof, got the animal out behind the barn, and having it thrown upon it's back, carefully chained it's feet and tied blg weight to it's tail. Then he bclt over the hoof to examine il, and just as. he did so a man in the next yard shied a>rock at Il hen. So mad was he that he threw the rock with such terrible force that in the exertion he sprung a muscle, and the rock flew away over the hen and took the mule man in the jaw and busted four teeth for him, toppling him over as quick as a shot He crawlcd SIX rods away from the mule on his hands and kness before he yentured to stand up, and then he rose and sadly rubbed his jaw and remarked: "Chains are no use; knew the duru cuss would get his work in on me, anyhow"
