One of those mistakes that are liable
TO occur in the best regulated families
made quite laugh in West side resi-
dence a few days ago. The lady Of the
house had been grumbling about corn
on her foot for months, and her husband
had tried in vain TO get her to consent
to have "corn dentist come mp and
remove il. but she was afraid it would
hurt, and she suffered along until Tues
/ day, when in a moment Of agony she
told the old man to send up his corn
dentist as quick as he had mind %.
lie went down to his Office and ordered
the corn man to COUP. He had already
ordered a plumber to 90 to the house
and mend some gas fixtures that had
sprung a leak, and the plumber got
there first The lady gave orders that
if man called with some corn tools, 10
send him up to hcrroom. The plumber
rung the bell, and on being askcd'wherc
the work was to be done, the girl told
him to 90 up to the lady's room, and
the man went up. He had roll Of
cloth with tools in it, and as he put il
down on the floor 10 unroll the tools,
the lady took off her slipper, and re-
moved her stocking, and placed her foot
on hassock. She looked at the
plumbers tools on the floor and almost

A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
One Hundred and Elghty.eight children
Crushed TO Death Mt Sunderland, Eng
Innd.

LONDON, Juno n,
A terrible calamity, involving the death
OF lSS children, occurred In Sunderland,
County Durham, yesterday evening. From
details received II appears that an enter
tainmcnt given in Victoria Hall by con-
Juror was attended almost altogether by
childroIE several thousand being in attend
anco. The accident occurred at the close
Of the performance, The body Of the hall
had boon entirely cleared OF occupants,
when some ZOO Of the little ones came
rushing downstairs from the gallery. At
the top Of the first flight Of stairs was q
door which opened only twenty inches, and
thus but one child was permitted 10 pass
through at a time, At this point, while tho
mass Of children were pushing forward ,ono
Of them fell and was unable 70 rise, owing
10 the others crowding The result was
that great number were pushed down,
trampled on and surocated.
The scene was terrible. No effort could
stop the mad rush OF aifrighted children,
They came on pellmell, though strangely
without much shouting, and soon 1888 were
knocked down and sufI0cated to death by
others trampling upon them, Tho greater
number Of the bodies, which wore badly
mangled from trampling, laid seven or
eight deep. Many Of the victims who were
not killed had the clothing torn from their
bodies, and this, together with the bleeding
bodies of the unfortunates, shows the terri
ble nature Of the struggle. The ages of the
children known 10 have been killed ranged
from four to fourteen years. The excite
ment In town when thenews Of the disaster
spread was terrific. Great crowds rushed
TO the scene until 2O0O0persons surrounded
the hall Tho feeling was so intense that the
authorities ordered out the 9th Infantry 10
preserve order. The work Of getting out
the bodies begun Immediately. They were
laid out In the hall and the parents Of those
killed were admitted TO identify their chill.

ST. JOSEpH, No, June II.
The heavy rains yesterday and last night
have done great amount Of damage to
railroad tracks in this vicinity, Commul
cation by rail is cut off in all directions
except hy the Hannibal east, that being the
only road running trains. Tho st. Joseph

thought il trains are running on that road
within week 1t will be doing we'll. The

bridges gone. There have been no trains
on the Wabash into this city since last
Friday. All other roads have suffered con.
siderably. The saengerfest grand picnic at
the exposition grounds to-day was aban-
doned on account OF the rain. The city is
full of strangers, who can not get away nm
til the railroads are reconstructed. Tho
town Of Corning, about forty miles north
