A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
One Hundred and Eighty-eight Children
Crushed to Death at Sunderland, Eng
land.

LONDON, June II.
terrible calamity, involving the death
OF lSS children, occurred in Sunderland,
County Durham, yesterday evening. From
details received it appears that an enter
tainment given in Victoria Hall by con-
juror was attended almost altogether by
children, several thousand being in attend
ance. The accident occurred at the close
Of the performance. The body of the hall
had been entirely cleared of occupants,
when some 1,200 of the little ones came
rushing downstairs from the gallery. At
the top of the first flight Of stairs was a
door which opened only twenty inches, and
thus but one child was permitted to pass
through at time. At this point, while the
mass of children were pushing forward, ,one
OF them fell and was unable to rise, owing
to the others crowding. The result was
that great number were pushed down,
trampled on and suffocated.
The scene was terrible. No effort could
stop the mad rush of affrighted children.
They came on pell-mell, though strangely
without much shouting, and soon 1SS were
knocked down and suffocated to death by
others trampling upon them. The greater
number of the bodies, which were 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 unfertunates, shows the terri
bic nature of the struggle. The ages of the
children known to have been killed ranged
from four to fourteen years. The excite
ment in town when the news of the disaster
spread was terrific. Great crowds rushed
to the scene until 10000 persons surrounded
the hall. The feeling was SO intense that the
authorities ordered out the 9th Infantry tr
preserve order. The work of getting out
the bodies begun Immediately. They were
laid out in the hall aud the parents OF those
killed were admitted to identify their chill
dren. Most heart-rending scenes trans
pired while the Identification was in prog
ress, mothers of dead children constantly
uttering piercing shrieks, and many faint
ing on discovering the bodies of their little
ones.

LOwlands Under Water and Railroad
Traffic Interrupted by Washing Away
of Tracks and Bridges.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, juno II.
The heavy rains yesterday and last night
have done a great amount of damage to
railroad tracks in this vicinity. Communi.
cation by rail is cut off in all directions
except by the Hannibal east, that being the
only road running trains. The st. Joseph
& Western has suffered most, some forty
bridges being more or less damaged. 1t Is
thought if trains are running on that road
within week it will be doing well. The
Kansas City, st. Joseph & Council Bluffs
track is badly washed away and several
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 un-
til the railroads are reconstructed. The
town of Corning, about forty miles north
Of here, on the Kansas City, St. Joseph 65
Council Bluffs Railroad, and also near the
Missouri River, is overfiowed and many
inhabitants rendered homeless. A number
of houses wert swept away entirely, and
others are surrounded by water.

High water at Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, June IL.
The blockade on the railroads east and
north is almost complete to night, no trains
being able to get out except on the Mis-
souri, Pacific. The Alton was able to take
its passengers by trasferring at washout
near the city. The roads west Of the B.
and NJ. are abandoned; others are not in
terrupted. The river here is 90 and Clio
feet above low water mark at midnight.
Reports state large portion of the bottom
land below here are overhowed and serious
damage is done which will be very greatly
increased by any further rise in the river.
The June rise is about due, and if 1t comes
now with the present stage of water the
loss will be very heavy. The water now
encroaches upon Harlem, opposite the city.
High Water at Pattonsburg.
PATroNsBURG, Mo, June II.
Our citizens are all excitement over the
high waters here to-day. Big Creek is the
highest ever known. The Wabash Railroad
dump is all that keeps it from overhowing
the whole town. The east end of town Is
already overhowed and it is feared that the
water will break through the dump, In
which case it will flood the city All per-
sons living north of the Wabash track have
abandoned their homes to the Hood. The
water is standing from fifteen to thirty
inches on the floors. The creek is about on
a stand, but Grand River is rising rapidly.
Damaging Rains in Kansas.
SENECA KANs., June II.
Another heavy ram fell in this section
last night. The river to-day was the high
est known since 1S5S-'59. The road-bed
of the st. Joe 81 Western Railroad across
the bottom east of town is all washed away,
and reports Of the condition Of the track
both east and west are discouraging. In
