Her Pug Made Useful After Death.

One young couple who saw the storm.
ing of the ice fortress the other night was
not annoyed by the crowd. Some time
ago the young lady's favorite pug dog
died, and as a memento Of the departed
she had its hide tanned. She carried along
this skin to stand upon SO that her feet,
which, by the way, are Of generous
mold, should not become chilled by the
underlying ice and snow. This was found
impracticable, however, because of the
continued and violent movement of the
crowd. So the girl rolled up the skin and
held it in her arms so that it closely re-
sembled living pug. The young man
who escorted her is something of a ven
triloGuist, and whenever some anxious
spectator began 10 elbow in their direction
he caused the counterfeit pup TO utter
snarl so terrible as to check the move
nent Of the elbower. Soon the bystanders
acquired the idea that the pug was suffer
ing with hydrophobia, and left the young
deceivers extra standing room--Albany

THE OPORTO FIRE.
Search Reveals Great Loss Of Life, Over
One Hundred Bodies Being Found.

OPoRTo, March 22.-The bodies of sixty
six victims of the theatre fire were exposed
for Identification today. Many heart-rend
ing scenes were witnessed Beside the
bodies there are also ffty-three heaps of
unrecognizable remains. Several projects
have been organized for the relief of the
families of the poorer victims. The cham
ber of deputies at Lisbon today decided to
send telegram of coincidence to ths.muni-
cipal authorities of Oporto. The chamber
then adjourned as 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 searchers
to work without interruption. The fire
originated from the blowing of an unprO-
tected gas jet against the scenery. 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.
In the cheaper parts of the house the at
tendance was principally of the rougher
class, including many sailors and dock
porters, who pitilessly crushed down the
weaker people in their rush for the
doors, using their fists, shoes and knives
and mercilessly slashing their way to the
front Girls, children and women We're
Utterly butchered. The house was
crowded, an attractive benefit programme
being presented. All actresses wore finest
jewels. The principal actress saved her
self by jumping from a window. The
other members of the company found an
easy exit to the street. The burned
theatre, which was formerly circus, was
constructed of wood. The authorities are
blamed because architects had condemned
the building.

SICKENING.
Horrible Disclosures of Brutalities to Con-
victS at Coal Hill, Ark.

LITTLE ROCK, March 22-The Gazette's
Coal Hill, Ark, special says: Governor
Hughes and the penitentiary board arrived
at o'clock this afternoon to further inves-
tigate the brutalities to convicts in coal
mines, They found that another warden,
who preceded the fugitive Gafford, named
J. B. Scott, was proven even more brutal.
He whipped as many as fifteen men in one
night until blood ran in streams from their
bodies. The place where the convicts We're
confined was so filthy that sickening
stencil rose from it. Beds and blankets
Were dirty and many were covered with
vermin. The whole place was
overhauled and whitewashed last
week. Yesterday lot of shoes
and clothing arrived and the men
We're provided who had gone barefooted all
winter. Physicians today examined a
large number of convicts whom Gafford
had whipped and found their bodies al
most solid sores. The men feared to COM
plain while Gatford was here for fear of
being beaten again. 1t was proved that
Frank Tolbert (coloredl ran off, hid in the
mines and refused to come out and War
den Scott ordered Tom Goodies, pit boss, to
go down and shoot him. He did so and
reported to Scott, but nobody knew any
thing then about the murder. Things are
changed now but details of past acts arc
sickening and horrible.

generally circulated through the press in
connection with the recent shut down on
the Santa Fe lines derogatory to the stabil-

and firemen of the Santa Fe company, de-
clare our unalterable and unbounded con-
fidence in the official and perconal honor

AFTER THE RABBITS,

NEW YORK, March 22.-Eugene Lynn
SPOTS, of this city, left for Australia this
morning via Chicago and San Francisco.
He took with him thirty-six rabbits inoc-
culated with an unerringly fatal and con-
tagious rabbit disease. He goes on a com
mission from the premier of New South
Wales, in the hope of being able to exter
inmate the rabbits there which have be-
come such pest that the government has
offered reward of s250,000 for their ex
termination. The millions of them which
are now devasting the tieldf have all come
from four ancestors taken to that country
from England in 1S47. Mr.. SPOTS will
stop in Chicago to meet some friends from
ST. Louis, of which he is a native. He is
booked to sail from San Francisco on the
29th.

HARMONY KNOCKED OUT.
Probabilities That the Southwestern Roads
Will Continue the War.

CHICAGO, March 22.-There is posi-
bility that the southwestern roads will
not all come into line next week in the
matter of advancing rates. The general
manager of the Wabash Western tele-
graphed to Chairman Midgeley today that
it would be compelled to make such rates
on live stock from Kansas City as would
give it portion of the business. The
trouble arises out of the fact that the Mil
waukee & st. Paul has lately put on inn
proved live stock cars from Kansas City,
charging no more than the regular rate by
ordinary cars. The Wabash, Alton and
Burlington will insist on making the rates
on ordinary cars enough lower to neutral
ize the advantages given shippers by the
improved car, and if the st. Paul COM
pany should not consent there will be
lively fight undoubtedly.

AIOST SON FOUND.

JACKSON, Tenn, March 22.-Mr. Daniel
Cooper, of Independence, Mo-, will leave
tomorrow, in company with the chief of
that city, in charge of Mr.. Cooper's young
son, I. P. Cooper, about IS years of age,
who was arrested here last Friday for act
ing suspiciously. The young man
has been partly insane for about
eighteen months, and left home
the 21st of last January, and his
distressed parents had sought for him in
every direction in vain, until telegram
from the authorities of this city informed
them of his whereabouts. He is an only
child and highly connected in Kentucky.
There is no doubt of his insanity, which
was caused by mental strain and overwork
while in the Union Pacific railroad Office
in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was a young
man of marksd talent and ability.

Intense Cold and Binding SHOWS Still
Holding Forth in the North.

ST PAUL, March 22.-The storm which
ragged on Tuesday night and until this
morning through portions of Dakota,
Minnesota and northern Wisconsion was
one of the severest that has been eX-
perenced in the northwest this winter. 1t
consisted of cold wave of unusual
severity, accompanied by heavy and
cutting wind, and in many places was
rendered worse by binding snow storms.
In Minnesota, north Of Crookston, and in
northeastern Dakota, most of the roads
were badly blockaded. The Duluth &
Manitoba, The Little Falls & Dakota,
and the Jameston branches of the North
ern Pacific were the most affected, while
all the Manitoba lines in the Red river
valley were more or less troubled. On the
jamestown & Northern there was a COM
plete cessation of business. On the
Hastings & Dakota, Omaha, Minneapolis
& st. Louis and st. Paul d Kansas City
the worst storm of the season was eX
perienced. Wherever there was any new
snow it was badly drifted and the railroad
tracks in numerous instances were covered
to depth of nine feet. The Wisconsin
Central train due here at 8 o'clock this
morning is reported indefinitely late. An
Omaha train for Chicago which left
St. Paul yesterday afternoon at
8 o'clock only managed to get as far as
Elroy Trains on the Hastings & Dakota
are abandoned, as are also those of the
Fergus Falls & Breckenridge road. A
very bad blockade is reported on the
Elmore branch of the Chicago & North
western, and several trains are Indefinitely
snowbound.
A special from Owatonna, Mimi, says:
Teams We're sent out by the railroads yes
terday with provisions to the passengers
snow bound between HAVANA and Clare
mont. They got to Havana last night
and dared not proceed further on account
of the storm. They reached the passengers
early this morning. A load of fuel was
sent out last night from HAVANA. Three
snow plows succeeded in bringing the
train to Owatonna this afternoon.
