LONDON. Dec. 27-The Royal theatel
in Gateshead, county Durham, was las,
night the scene of frightful panic, in
which, according to the reports received,
I at least ten persons were killed outright
and macy injured. The sight of a small
blaze caused by man dropping light
the floor, caused one woman TO start the
cry of "Fire." Immediately there was a
wild rush for the doors, which, owing to
the savage rush, became so blockadcd that
only few succeeded in getting out. The
staircase lesding from the gallery also
became blockaded. A check taker, who
attempted to restrain the crowd, was
crushed 10 death under foot. When the
panic subsidized the bodies of nine children.
whose lives had been literally crushed
out of them, were found lying on the
staircase. A constable, VINO came to
assist in the work of rescue, in dragging
out body among the struggling people,
discovered it was the body of his own son.
The attraction for the evening was the
pantomime "AlIsdin." The theater was
literally packed. The shout of Fire"
was raised at 10 80 O'clock, and lnstontly
there was a dread confusion, in which,
above all, was heard the shrieks of
women, many of whom tainted. The.
lessee of the house, Immediately stepping
on the stage, shouted to the audience to
remain seated assuring them there was
no real danger. Many others attempted
to restrain the mad rushes. Most of
those on the first floor escaped. 1t was
sndden bend in the gallery staircase
which caused the fearful jam. The
people who had fallen and who were
lying In heaps, screaming and groaniDg,
were trampled upon.
A MASS OF WRITING HUMAN BEINGS
AT last SO many struggling people had
fallen that all passage for exit was ef
tectually blocked by the mass of writhlDg
human beings. and those still remaining
ON their feet were forced to seeb other
means of escape. The occasion wss
made doubly memorable by several acts
of heroism. One man, who occupied
gallery seat, jumped from the gallery
ratings to the balcony below, and slid

d child in his teeth. Other men rescued
several women in a similar manner. In
the reanwbile the fire was easily
auenched. The police sought medical
aid, and assisted in extricating the VIC
Tins from the staircase, a matter of the |
utmost difficulty. One child, after call

lied before it could be reached. The |
news of the disaster spread rapidly,
and soon thousands of frantic people
we're rushing to the scene to ascertain the |

ew hours all the dead were identified.

Harney Times: Malheur City, in Malheur
county, is doubtless the best town, morally
speaking, in the state. We paid that town
short visit. recently and were surprised to
find thriving little village away up on the
side of mountain, supporting four dry
goods stores, all of which werc doing fair
business; school that is second to none in
the country. the teacher, Prof. Hoseason.
gentleman holding state certificate and
who has taught In Baker county for many
years, told US that he had pupils from Baker
City attending his school, But that which
was most astonishing is the fact that the town
has no saloon. IL is in the center of an old
mining district and was founded originally
as a mining camp, yet is inhabited by
people who do not indulge in intoxicants
and therefore the existence of a saloon
there is impracticable. Altogether we
found the people of this little city to be in
dustrious, sociable and above all highly
moral In every respect. Long live the little

A Swedish newspaper, the 0stgOten, takes
a somewhat novel and striking view of tho
emigration question. 1t says that during
the past ten years 375 600 persons have left
Sweden as emigrants. The education of
each of these persons cost at least thous-
and crowns, about $780, making about
Sl0l, $50, 900 in all, and as they migrated
when they became old enough to turn their
education to account and return some SER
vice to the country, the money spent on
their education was dead loss to Sweden,
from national point of view. But looked
at from our point of view 1t means clear
gain of about just SO much money to this
country. We get the fruit without the
cultivation. 1t ought to solace the Swedes
to reflect that thus there is no actual waste
in the world.

1t now appears that the greater number
OF the letters written to the London Times,
displaying so bitter tone toward the
United States government and its repre-
sentatives, were written by woman, and
not by the boastful correspondent Thomp-
son. The real author, it seems, was Lady
Jordan, wife of Deputy Jordan, at Santiago,
and yet, during all that time Thompson
was claiming that they were his effusions.
Recently British Minister Kennedy received
business visit from Egan. News of this
reaching Thompson's ears, he wrote letter
to Kennedy lnquiring what right Ezan had
to visit HIM and by what right he was per-
mltted to enter the British legation. Min
lister Kennedy sent reply to this impudent
letter asking in no measured terms what
right Thompson had to designate the Brit
ish legations visitors. Thereupon Thomp.
son promptly apologlzed for bis impudence.

The Outlaws Hanged.

MOBILE, Ala Dec 26.-The artillery
detachment of the First regiment. of
state troops left here early this morning
EN- route for the house where thv Sims
party were fortified in Choctaw county.
Sheriff Gavi "a, Christmas morning, sent
to Baden Springs for cannon. When
Sims heard of this preparation to blow
his stronghold to splinters, he looked at
his woman folks and his heart misgave
him He began to parIey with the
sheriff, and al o'clock he SAID he would
surrender if the posse would protect him
from mob violence. A meeting of the.
posse was held which lasted more than
two hours There was great excitement
and much diversity of opinion, and at
first The proposals of SIMS was fatty re-
fused But the fact of the women being
in the house was a strong point in favor
of mercy to the inmates. The thought
of shooting with cannon into house
harbOriDg women was so re pugnant that
it overcsme the wild longing for the
blood of the outlaws. So at last the
terms Sims were accepted. At 4:3O
S ms men laid down their arms and
came out OF the house. The posse was
astonlshed to see that instead of seven
desperate outlaws, there were only two
men and boy, Bob Thomas Savage and
young Savage, a nephew OF Sims. Feur
women, Bob's wife and three daughters,
came ou: also. The men we're at once
ironed. and placed In wagon, The
women were placed in u second wagon
under guard. and at b o'c ock the pro-
cession started for Butler, the county seat
Of Choctaw county.
THE OUTLAWS LYNCHED.
While the posse in charge of the party
were en- route to Butler, a mob OF
Choctaw county men oyerpowered the
guard and hanged the three men. 1t is
reported that another of the Savage bows
WAS hanged at the same time. John
Savage was banged Christmas eye.
