Fatal ARrRy in Theaser-Two Men
 Killed and One Ser1ously Wounded.
 SAN ANTONIO, March 12.-Ben Thompson and Ming Fisher shot each other dead in the Vaudeville Theater last night. Joe Foster, who attempted to quiet the combatants, was shot in the leg and will probably die of hem orrhage. Thompson and Fisher had been drinking together. and entered the theatsr in company. They met Foster in the dress circle and some words were exchanged, and soon after shots were exchanged. The dress circle was quickly cleared, the occupants jump- ing into the parquette below and through the side windows into the street. No one seems to know who fired the first shot, or how many were engaged in the shooting. Before the theatre was fairly cleared of its occupants ,5OO persons on the outside were clamoring at the closed doors for admittance. Soon after the shooting but was promptly arrested. A jury was hastily empanelled and it was sscertained that Thompson had received four mortal wounds, and that Fisher had been wounded three times, two of which would have caused in- stant death. The bodies of the two victims were taken in charge by host of friends, and the funeral arrangements have been or dered on the grandest scale, regardless of expense.
 The theatre where the affray occurred was the scene last year of the killing by Thomp- son of Jack Harris, Who was the proprietor of the place. Fisher and Thompson were probably the two most desperate and widely known men in Texas. They have each killed a large number of men,

The Dynamite Scare-A Sharp Watch in
 The Government Buildings.
 TORONTO, CAN, March 12.-The uneasi- ness among the members of Parliament caused by the dynamite scare increases It is the main topic of conversation and special constables have been employed to prevent a possible explosion. The buildings have been guarded for the past two weeks by armld volunteers, though this was not generally known, the government preferring to keep the matter quiet. The guards are very vieilant and even members of the legislature are not exempted from general surveillance. Drury, one of the members, was followed and strict iy watched by the guards because he carried small satchel. At the old fort just outside the city where there is stored half million rounds of ammunition suspicious charac- ters were found tampering with the magazine locks and extra guards have been put on to watch the place. Extra precau- tions have been taken at Halifax and Ottses and Rldeau hall is carefully looked after. zt IS hlnted that British agents in New York and Buffalo have picked up information that shows the Fenians are again looking towards Canada as field of operations and that dynamite is to be their chief weapon. It is thought the Irish want to strike now to en- courage the Manitobans to make trouble.
