FrightfuI Ending of an Easter

MANY SPECTATORS BURNED
To Death in Crowded Place of
Amusement-A Villain Sets Fire
toa Building in Which a Bull
Fight is In Progress.

Cry OF MEXICO. April 4.-The TpO
Republics will publish the following tel
egrams, dated Celaya at 5 pm:
Yesterday Sunday afternoon about
10 minutes past 4 o'clock the bull ring
here was crowded with spectators of the
great national sport. The company OF
bull-fghters from Leon was still playing
with the first bull when a fire suddenly
broke out on the sunny side OF the
Plaza. A panic seized upon the vast
assemblage and frightful spectacle was
the result. Eighteen lives were lost,
nine dead bodies, and in some cases SO
us to be unrecognizable, have so far been
taken from the smoking ruins. Nine
persons were SO badly burned that they
died yesterday. This makes eighteen
deaths. Sixty-eight persons were very
badly burned, and though they still live,
ut least ten will die. The bulls, mad
dened by theroaringofthe flames, broke
loose from their stalls and rushed wildly
through the surging mass Of humanity
tossing aloft and knocking over all who
stood in their way. Among the eighteen
dead were two women who were first
gored to death by the bulls, and their
bodies afterwards burned.
THE WORK OF A FiEND.
The scenes in the neighborhood of the
bull ring were sickening beyond descrip-
ton. Women and children, divested Of
their clothing and crazed with suffering
from their burns, ran aimlessly ly through
the streets, and could scarcely be over
taken by their friends. Several persons
lost their reason from the severe mental
shocks to which they we're subject, The
fire was incendiary. In the jul were u
number Of prisoners, army deserters,
&c, who had obtained permission from
the authorities to attend the bull tight..
They were accompanied by strong
guard OF soldiers to prevent escape, but
one OF the deserters surreptitiously struck
a match and lighted one Of the dry
petates (matts), and in an instant the
"sol" side of the ring was ablaze. In
the confusion and excitement the pris-
oners succeeded in making good their
escape, taking their chances to effect
their ends. The best society of Celaya
was in attendance. 1t was Easter Sun
day, the return OF the season OF gaity
after Lent. There was an unusual num-
Der ofladies and little children present,
and these, as is often the case at such
events, were the sufferers. No man lost
his life. 1t is the saddest tragedy that
has ever occurred in the three centuries
OF the city's history.

The Hotel Mea Rejoice.

s.
No class of men is more thoroughly gratifled
at republican success than The hotel and restau-
rant keepers of Washington. When Arthur
went out, in 1885, they had been enjoy ing three
or four years of excellent business. The New
York administration. during it's earlier years
and until the last SIX months of it, attracted
visitors with plenty of money. They were lin"
a great many neat things there. and, getting
money easily, they spent it freely. The boys
made fortunes for some of the hotel keepers
set up fine dinners and lunches, and kept the
corks flying from champagne bottles in an
almost unceasing pop and patter. The demo
Gratis have not kept up the style" nor the ex-
business principles, and have not offered the
facilities to speculation that had come to
be the result of long continued power and accu-
mulated abuses of privilege. The saloon bust
ness dropped badly. So hard were the restau-
rauts hit, that l am told their business has
decreased 20 per cent, and their quality has
deteriorated 80 per cent. With the hope of
return of halcyon days, it is not difficult to get
the tradeSmen of all kinds to contii Dute freely
to welcome the coming new man. All of the
claimants who have been unfortunate under
Cleveland will expect to get what they want
now, and the dealers in meats aud drinks CO
identy expect to catch some OF the fat that
is to be fried out of the government. Real
estate spectators, too, are said TO be more con-
fident. Enterprises that had been languishing
are plucking up and will soon be pushed with
renewed activity. The new era is to be one of
prosperity" patriotic liberalty of expendi-
ture, and generosity to all worthy unde:ta
ings The pop of the champagne cork will
once more be heard along the Potomac.

With lighted cigar in his mouth, and not a

The Western and Atlantic Road.

Mr.. Harrell of Decatur, in his resolution,
| introduced into the House Thursday, pro-
poses that the governor shall receive bids
for the sale, as well as for the lease, of the
Western and Atlantic railroad. There is
no reason why bids for tie sale of the road
should not be invited, and there are very
excellent reasons why the road should be
sold, if fair price can be obtained for it.
A couple of years ago, when the advisa-
bilty of selling the road was being dis
cussed. it was objected that if the road were
sold, the purchase money would be squan-
dered in one way aud another before the
debt became due, and that the state would
still have her debt, and would
not have a railroad. The proposition of
Mr.. Harrell meets that objection. He pro-
poses that if the road is sold, the purchase
money shall be paid in installments. and
that the instalments shall become due at
the times the different sections of the debt
become due. Something over 81, 900, 900 Of
the debt will mature about the time the
present lease of the road expires II the
road is sold, therefore, that amount should
be required when the sale is made, and the
balance as the debt natures.
If the road is leased, there is a probability
that it will fall into the hands OF those who
will find it TO their interest TO let it run
down before the lease expires. In that case
1t would fall back into the possession of the
ate much reduced in value. Even if that
should not happen, the chances are that
other connections to the west will be con-
structed that will deprive it of much of its
value, and thus render either the lease or
sale of it at a good price a difficult matter.
The road is in first-clIs s condition now,
and, probably, all it is worth can be OBJ
tanned for it. 1t is believed that about
enough can be obtained to pay the public
debt. The tax now collected for interest op
the debt can be applied to the support of
the public schools.
1t is not the business of a state to operate
railroad, aud it ought to own no other
property than such as is needed by the gov
eminent. a state may find a railroad a
good investment for while, tut sooner or
later she is certain to lose her grip on it,
and viii permit it to get out of her pos
session without receiving the value of it,
II fair price can be obtained for the
Western and Atlantic it ought to be sold,
aud Mr. Harrells resolution ought to be
adopted in order that it may be learned
what can be obtained for it,

Harrison Understood Dana.


President-elect Harrison is not so close
mouthed but that he has something inter
esting to say about politics once in a while.
On Wednesday last he was one of hunting
party. He was tired of the talk of the pol
iticians and office-seekers and sought lit
tie recreation in hunting RABBITS and quails.
He and his party went to the village of
Dana, and, they made their headquarters at
the house of Capt. Bates, who
has quite a reputation as a sportsman.
During the day, according TO New York
Herald special, Gen. Harrison asked Capt
Bates how the village came to be named
Dana. The captain said that it was named
in honor Of Editor Dana, of the New York
Sun. and that the name was suggested by
Col. Moore, a railroad man Of some promi-
nence 1t was suggested by some one of
the party that Col Moore would not now
name town Dana, because he is an I'M
compromising republican. why" said
Gen. Harrison, Dana has done as much
good as any Of the republican editors. 1t
was amusing to read tie Sun during the
C ampaign. While it pretended to be demo
cratic it was knitting Cleveland under the
fifth rib in every issue. personally know
that Dana wanted Cleveland beaten"
If Gen. Harrison thinks Mr.. Dana did as
much toward electing him as any one of the
republican editors, will he TAX into consider
alton the ACCESSIBILITY Of Offering him good
office, or Of appointing some of his friends
to good offices! OF course Editor Dana
would hardly accept anything less than a
place in the cabinet, but some of his friends
might ap preciate much less important posi-
