OPoRTo, March 22.-The bodies of

Many heartrending scenes were witnessed.
Besides the bodies there are also fifty
three heaps of unrecognized remains.
Several projects have been organized for
the relief of families of the poorer vic
tins. The chamber of deputies at Lisbon
to-day decided to send a telegram Of con
dolence to the municipal authorities of
Oporto. The chamber then adjourned as
a mark of respect to the memory of the
victims.
1t is reported that some Americans and
Englishmen were burned. Electric lights
have been provided to enable the search
ers to work without interruption. The
fire originated from the blowing of an I'M

the scene shifter saw the fire and rushed
to lower the curtain, but before he could
reach it the burning scenery fell on the
stage. There was a panic Immediately.

CoALHILL, Ark, March 22.-Governor
Hughs and the penitentiary board arrived
this afternoon to further investigate the
brutalities to convicts in the coal mines.
They found that the acts OF Warden Scott
were proven even more brutal than before
stated. He whipped as MANY as seventy
five men in one night until the blood ran
in streams from them.
The place where the c%onvicts we're con-
fined was so filthy hat a sickening stencil
rose from it. The beds and blankets
were dirty and covered with vermin, and
yesterday a lot of shoes and clothing ar
rived. The men we're provided who had
gone barefooted all the winter.
Physicians to-day examined a large
number of c%onvicts whom Gafford had
whipped, and found their bodies almost
sohd sores. The men feared to complain
while Gafford was here for fear of being
beaten again
Some time ago a convict ran off and hid
IN the mines and refused to come out and
Warden Scott ordered Tom Gaddis, the
pit boss, to 90 down and shoot him. He
did so.
Things are changed now, but the de
tails Of the past acts are sickening and
horrible.
