rate Of 500 pounds per acre, | can truly

An Appalling Panic.

A terrible calamity, involving the death
of17s children; occurred in Sunderland,
county Of Durham, Saturday. From
details received II appears that an entertain
meDt was given at Victoria hall by con-
jurer, atteaded almost altogether by chill
drer, several thousand being in attendance.
The accident occurred at the close of the
been entirely cleared Of occupants, when
some ,290 of the little ones came rushing
down stairs from the gallery. At the
top OF the first flight of stairs was door
which opened only twenty inches, and thus
but one child was permitted to pass through
at q time. At this poist, while the mass
OF children were pushing forward, one Of
them fell and was unable to rise, owing to
the Others crowding. No effort could stop
the mad fury of the frightened children
They came on peli nell, though strangely
without much shouting and soon lT8 chill
dren were knocked down and sufocated TO
death by Others trampling upon them; The
greater number of bodies, which were bad Iy
mangled from trampling. laid seven OF
eight deep. Many victims and others who
were not killed had their
clothing torn from their bodies,
and this together with the bleeding bodies
of the unfortunaies, shows the terrible ma.
ture of the struggle. The ages OF the 17S
children ranged from four to fourteen years.
The excitement in town, when the news
spread, was terrific. Great crowds rushed
to the scene until 10000 persons surround
ed the hall. The feeling was so intense that
the authorities ordered out the Sixty. eight
infantry to preserve order. The work OF
getting out bodies began Immediately.
They were laid out in the halls. The
parents of those killed were admitted to
identify the bodies OF their children. Most
heartrending scenes transpired while iden-
t fication was in progress.

Portland, Oregon, is enjoying an ex-
ceptional degree of prosperity finally
eliminating in a latter-day "boom''
where real estatc is concerned. Port
land was not previously candidate in
the booming line, and was not in the
great transcontinental city terminusbus-
mess until within the past three years or
80. Then Mr.. Willard and the Northern
Pacific wooed and won her, and the rush
ofpopulation and business here has really
been immense ever since. No other
port OH the coast, outside of San Fran
cisco, approaches Portland in import
ance. 1t is a thoroughly solid, earnest,
large business town, with block after
block, not of brick or stone retail stores
alone, but also of solid wholesale bnsi-
ness on the largest scale. The popula-
ton il only about $4,000, yet business
lots 100 feet deep sell for
$l0O0 front foot, and residence lots
within three TO six blocks of the business
streets are worth 500 to $50 front foot.
Five or six blocks further out, in the di-
rection most in favor, $40 to $50 per
front foot are the rates for building lots.
Buildings of the value Of "a 100000 will
be erected this year, and, whether for
business or dwelling purposes, are occu-
pied and rented in all cases the moment
they are finished. Lumber, labor and
all building materials cannot now he had
fast enough. OF course, the city may
hereafter suffer temporary stagnation OF
revsrses, like other cities, but the pros
poets for great city are reckoned cx-
ceedingly brilliant by experienced OBJ
servers.

A MinncsOtaM a Murder Trial.

Camille Roy and Mrs Arilda Baudry were
tried at Warren, Newhall county, Mimi,
recently, for the murder of Amadee Bean
dry, the husband of one of the defendants.
The theory of the state was that the defend
ants conspired together and murdered the
husband so they could marry. 1t was
claimed that Roy struck the deceased on the
head with an AK, and then set fire to the
house. Numerous witnesses were called by
the prosecution. No one could swear to I'M
proper relations having existed between the
prisoners. Judge Stearns charged the jury
and made an able charge for conviction,
upon which the jury returned verdict OF
guilty of murder in the first degree. The
prisoners were arrsigned and sentenced fol
life. The prisoners took the verdict coolly,
and believe the supreme court will reverse
and give them new trial.

PiIlager OfPostal Cars.

Much mail has, been lost in transit on
the Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad during
the past two months, and recently Postmas-
ter Inspector Henshaw was detailed to in
vestigate the matter. A dispatch from him
indicates that he has discovered the cause.
He has arrested at La Crosse. Wisconsin,
w. r. Souter, an ex-postal clerk, who has
,.a,ie fuii confession. IL appears that
Souter was accustomed to take advan-
tage of his former friendly re-
lations with railway postofiice employees,
to board the postal cars at La Crosse,
and when unobse rved sccrete a package
of letters. Souter was discharged some
time ego for insubordination and neglect oil
his duties. Souter was discharged under q
cloud about the first OF the year. On Feb
8 he rode from Red Wing to La Crosse in q
mail Car and secured q number of valuable
letters. These he rified in his barn and hid
all except the valuable contents. After va,
eating the premises another man went in
and found the hidden letters. He reported
to Postmaster Bryant who took steps which
led to the arrest.

The disgraceful story in the case of
Major A. II. Nickerson, of the United
States army, is this: He sent his wife to
Europe on pretense OF Joining her there
when he obtained an expected leave
of absence. No sooner had she depart
ed than he ostensibly changed his resi-
dence from Washington to Philadelphia,
where, without the knowledge OF his
wife. he began proceeding for divorce,
on the ground of "desertion," which in
due time was granted him. Then he at
once married another woman. The di-
vorce suit having been applied for, press
ed and granted without his wifc's know
ledge, until she chanced to learn of the
fact from her friends in Washington
writing to her in Europe, has just been
set aside by Philadelphia court as null
and void, because fraudulently obtained.
In the meantime the Major has left for
parts unknown. in company with the
woman no recently married. His army
pay has been stopped, pending a court
martial, and the civil authorities are on
his track, to answer charges OF perjury
and bigamy-state's prison offenses.
