A dreadful calamity, involving the death of
lSS children, occurred IN the town Of Sunder-
land, IN the county of Durham, on Saturday
evening. II seems that an entertainment had
been given in Victoria Hall by conjuror,
which was attended almost altogether by chill
dren, TO the number OF several thousand. The
accident occurred al the close OF the perform
ance. After the body of the hall had been en-
tirely cleared Of its occupants some twelve
hundred of the little ones came rushing down
stairs from the gallery. At the top OF the first
fight of stairs there was door which opened
only twenty inches, and one child only was
permitted TO pass through at time. At this
point, while the mass OF children were pushing
forward some of them fell and were unable to
rise, owing 10 the others crowding on. The
result was that a great number were pushed
down, trampled on, and either sudoeated or
crushed to death. The scene was terrible and
no effort could stop the mad rash of the af-
figlted children. They came on pell-melI,
though strangely without much shouting, and
soon were knocked down and killed by others
trampling upon them. The greater number of

the tramping, laid seven Or eight deep. Many
of the victims and Others who were not killed
had their clothing torn from their bodies ia
the struggle. The ages of those known 10 have
been killed ranged from 4 to L years.
The eagerDeSS Of the children 70 depart from
the hall was caused by their desire TO receive
prizes that had been promised them. The
janitor throws the biagae for the calamity upon
a man connected with the entertainment who

that the prizes might be given 10 the children

All the Defendants in the Star-Route Cases
Acquitted.
The great Star Route trial in this city
reached a conclusion last Thursday the Jury
finding a verdict of not guilty as to ali the
defendants. When the jury filed into the
criminal court they appeared none the worse
for their long confinement. Judge Wylie said:
Gentlemen of the jury. the court has sent for
yon for the purpose of ineuiring whether you
have any communication TO make"
The foreman, IN reply, stated that the jury
had agreed upon verdict, and painful
silence fell upon the courtroom, only to be
broken By shouts of applause when the fore
man stated that the verdict was not guilty"
Immediately the decorum of a court of Justice
was forgotten and cheers resouDded from all
quarters OF the crowded room. Mrs. S. w
Dorsey sprang to her feet, clapping her hands,
while the tears streamed down her checks, and
there were many ladies IN the court who were
silently weeping.

of many warm congratulations, and as they
left the courtroom they were greeted with
renewed cheers by the crowd in front of the
City Hall.
In the ante-room and halls the jury was beset
by a throng of interested persons, prominent
among them being the defendants and Mrs. S.
w. Dorsey and Mrs Peck, who thanked them
for their verdict with tears in their eyes. As
the foreman reached the sidewalk, the large
crowd assembled there burst into tumultons
cheers, which were renewed as each juror made
his way out of the courthouse.
The foreman stated to 2 representative of
the Associated Press that FIVE ballots were
taken by the jury. The first ballot was upon
the question OF the existence of the conspiracy,
and the ballot resulted in vote Of three for
and nine against the conspiracy. On the sec
ond ballot the nine was increased to ten, al
though the vote was then upon the innocence
or guilt of the defendants. This vote remained

A TERRIBLE REVENGE.
Young Mutt Shoots His Fathers Murderer and
SISTERS Ratrafar.

James Mutt whose father, Capt A. G. Mutt,
was killed at Uniontown, Pa, on the oath
of December last, by n Lyman Dukes, has
taken terrible revenge. Shortly after o'clock
on the evening of the 18th inst, as Dukes was
going for his mail, young Mutt, who had been
lying in wait for him in a vacant store in front
of the Unioutown post-ofiee, stepped out and
fired two shots at him, hitting him in the back
Immediately In the rear of the heart. Dukes
started on a dead run, pursued by Mutt, who
fred three more shots, one of the shots taking
effect in the back, about two inches from the
first the fourth missed him and the fifth struck
him in the left ankle as he was going up the
post-ofice steps. There are two steps, and when
Dukes reached the top one he fell forward on
his face and expired almost Immediately.
A number of persons rushed up the steps after
Dukes and at the same time Policeman Pegg
ran up and caught Nut, who made no resist
ance whatever but said to the officer: Here,
you take this; ~ whereupon he gave him his
revolver.
Pegg said to him: "You have done bad
piece of work :" to which Mutt replied: " Yes,
but could not help It,"
The officer took Mutt to Jail and Dukes was
carried to the same room in the Jennings House
where Captain Mutt was killed by him, and
which he continued to occupy ever since.
On Dukes body was found his old pistol, the
one with which he killed Mutt and hanging to
his suspender-b button in front was dirk-knife
The pistol used by Young Mutt was 43-caliber
Smith & Wesson. He had in bis pocket another
smaller pistol which he refused to surrender to
officer Pegg, but gave to officer Martin.
A few days before the tragedy, young Mutt
went home in very irritable mood and said
to his mother: Mother can't stand this.
met Dukes on the street to-day and he laughed
in my face"
1t win be remembered that Dukes shot Cap
tain Mutt when the latter was undertaking TO
call him TO account for betraying bis daughter
and writing slanderous letters about her.
The coroners jury. summoned afeer Dukes
death on the following day, after hearing the
testimony of Policeman Pegg and others, re-
turned the following verdict: I" We find that
said Nicholas L. Dukes came to his death from
wounds received from a revolver fired in the
hands of James Mutt, on the corner of Main
and Pittsburg streets, in Uniontown, on the
18Th day OF June, 1883, at about the hour of
1:15 o'clock p. NJ"
Miss Mutt has prepared for publication
statement which will. it is said, incontroverti-
bly, prove that the intimatons in Dukes let
tiers are false. DIR. Case says the statement will
contain letter written by Captain Mutt seven
days previous TO his death, in which he SAYS
that his daughters innocence had been estab-
lished by the best possible evidence 1t is said
that when the captain was convinced on this
point his Indignation at Dukes course inereas-
ed to such an extent that he could control him
self no longer, and, therefore, went to see him.
1t was at this interview Dukes shot him.
