ACTORS BURNED,
The Philadelphia Theater Fire o
Holocaust
Three Score of the Spectators Lying Now
In Hospitals Pititully Burned aud
Bruised--Nine of the Company Lie
Dead Beneath the Walls.

April 90. The destruc-
ton of the Grand Central theater by fire
Wednesday night proves to have been
far more terrible in its results than was
anticipated. Six members of the Dew
Ills Auction company lie dead beneath
the fallen walls of the building, and
nearly three score people are in the hos
pital suffering from burns. OF the men
and boys in the hospital seven are in
such Il serious condition that their re-
covery is doubtful. All were members
of the audience. Besides those who
were seriously enough hurt to remain
in the hospital, fully fifty others were
treated for minor injuries. The unfor-
tunate members of the company who
lost their lives are:
Thos. Lorella, grotesque, and his wife
Flora, a ballet dancer; Vincentina Chit
ten, premier danseus, one of the Chitten
sisters; Miss Fancheon Conyers, juve-
nile, residence Chicago; Miss Sarah
Golden, ballet dancer, residence Chi
cago; VIM. l.. Brooks, leading man of
the company, residence Philadelphia.
The injured in the hospitals who are
likely to die are all suffering from burns
about the face and head, and from hav-
ing inhaled the flames.
In addition to the serious condition of
the injured, it is feared that many will
lose their eyesight, as their burns are
all mostly about the face BY the light
of day the destruction wrought by the
fire was made more apparent and the
desolation of the scene seemed more
terrible, as it was without the accom-
panying grandeur given by columns
of flames shooting skyward above
the tallest buildings. The ruin
of the Central theater is COM
plete, only the front wall remaining
standing. The other walls have fallen
in and fill the place they formerly en-
closed Directly back of the theater but
shell remains of the eight-story build
ing occupied by the Times. The row of
stores to the east of the two burned
structures and facing on Eighth street,
and extending from Walnut to SAMSON
streets, are almost completely gutted by
fire and water. Wednesday nights es-
innate, placing the loss at $1,000,00 is
about correct.
Two additional missing were reported
Thursday night, making nine people
who can not be accounted for since the
fire. The last are: George E. Thatcher,
machinist, and Frederick Ampher,
twelve years old, of ManayunlI, who
left home to attend the Central theater,
and has failed to return since.

GRANTS GRAVE
Marked at Last by n Nations Tribute.
The Cornerstone of the Grant Monu-
ment Laid.

Marked at Last By Nations Tribute.
Tho Cornerstone of the GyTint Monu-
ment Laid.
New YORK, April gS--The corner
stone of the nations monument to Gen.
Grant in Riverside park was laid
Wednesday. The weather was all that
could be desiredI a cloudless sky and
bright sunshinetempered by moderate
breeze blowing over the Hudson.
Long before the time fixed for the
dedication, the immense grand stand
erected in close proximity TO where the
monument will stand, and partly sur
rounding the cornerstone, began to fill
with those privileged persons who had
been invited and had tickets, and by
noon it was computed that there were
fully 5000 to 5000 persons on the stand.
This crowded stand, with the veterans
of the G. A. r., in number about 5000,
formed in line around and about the
resting place of their dead hero, with
the charming scenery along the Hudson
river and the Palisades in the distance,
formed picture of interest seldom sur
passed.
Shortly after noon President Harrison
and party, escorted by troop A, of the
national guard of the state of New York,
left the Fifth aveDue hotel and pro-
ceeded to Riverside park. In tho
carriages were President Harrison, Mrs.
Gen. Grant and members of her family,
Secretary Foster, Secretary RusS,
Secretary Elllins, Postmaster General
Wanamaker, Private Secretary Halford
and many other distinguished guests.
AS the presidential party approached
the tomb the United States baad played
"Hail to the Chief" while heads were
uncovered, handlierchiefs waved and
the immense throng shouted their huz-
zas.
As the carriage drew up in front of
the tomb, the president stood, hat in
hand, and bowed on all sides in answer
to the magnificent greeting accorded
him.
After few moments quiet Rev. DR..
John Hall offered prayer.
The president of the Grant Monument
association, Gen. Horace Porter, then
delivered an address detailing in brief
the doings of the association, which
now numbers $500 members,
The event of the day was the next on
the programme, namely, the laying of
the cornerstone by President Harrison.
After putting mortar around the stone
with gold trowel that Superintendent
Brady had made for the occasion, the
stone was lowered into position.
The cornerstone box, made of cop
per, was filed with the relics which
will be buried in it. They were: Con-
stitution of the United States, Declara-
ton of Independence, Articles Of Con-
federation, the Bible, memoirs of Gen.
Grant" Memorial Day pamphlet, May
30 and 81, 1856, a copy of Mayor Grants
proclamation regarding the Grant mon
ument; a new American flag; medals
and coins from the United States mint
and various illustrated and daily papers.
President Harrison briefly addressed
the assemblage, after which the band
played a selection of national airs.

MELBOURNE, April 30.--The trial of
Frederick Bailey Deeming, alias Will
:iams, for the murder of his wife at
Windsor, suburb Of Melbourne, was
continued in the central criminal court
here Friday. The prisoner was silent
and downcast. Several witnesses wero
called by the prosecution and they all
testified to quarrels that had occurred
between Deeming and his wife while
they were living at Windsor.
The most interesting witness, how
ever, was Miss Kate Rounseven, the
young lady to whom Deeming, who had
then assumed the name of Swanston,
was engaged to be married, and who
was upon the point of joining him in
the Southern Cross gold fields when he
was arrested. The court room, as on
every occasion when Deeming has been
arraigned, was crowded.
There has never been a trial in this
city that has excited such intense
popular interest, and everybody is
DESTROYS of once at least gazing upon
the prisoner. When Miss Rounsevell
went into the witness box the audience
leaned forward in expectancy to hear
her every word. She narrated the story
of how she met Deeming on a steamer
bound for Sydney, and how finally she
accepted the proposal of marriage he
made to her, all of which has been be-
fore reported in these dispatches.
Throughout her evidence Miss Rounse-
veil spoke of Deeming politely and un-
respitefully. She declared that Deem
ings manner toward her had always
been courteous and kind.
A number of ordinary love letters
written to her by Deeming were then
handed to her for Identification, and
Mr. Birschfeldt, who accompanied Deem
ing at the time he was arrested from
Perth, West Australia, to Melbourne,
was the next witness called. He was
subjected TO a severe cross-eXamination,
counsel for the prisoner trying to elicit
from him whether Deeming had dis
played any signs of insanity on the
voyage. The witness states however,
that in his opinion Deeming was per-
fectly sane, and his testimony was in
no wise shaken by the efforts of Deem
lng's counsel.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 2s.-Twen-
ty-seven years ago $500 Federal SOL
diers, who had been prisoners of war,
were being taken from Memphis to
Cairo. OF this number nearly half
were from East Tennessee. They
were on the steamer Sultana- An
explosion occurred during the trip,
and nearly one thousand men
were instantly killed or drowned The
survivors soon after the war formed an
organization, and have been holding
annual meetings ever since near this
city. Those present were surprised
when a neatly-dressed man drove up
and commenced shaking hands with the
members. 1t was Jonathan Kidd of
Buncombe county, N. c., who was on
the boat at the time of the explosion,
and thought to be lost. He has since
the war been residing in Brazil, and be.

HORRIBLE.
The Victims of Philadelphia's Fire In

Burned to Death.

Crehsc-A POlice OluCer hepOrJS SIX bOyS
Burned to Death.
PHILADELPHIA, April 30.-Special Of
ficer Mccarthy, who was in the Cen
trail theater at the time the fire started,
tells a story which is startling if true.
He says that he saw six boys, apparent
ly companions, rush for the fire escape,
where they were soon struggling with a
mass of desperate men, who could pay
attention to the safety of no one but
themselves. The boys were quickly rel
egated to the rear, as the mob pushed
its way forward.
He was about to make his own exit,
when, through the binding smoke, he
saw the boys, trampled and almost
dead, lying on the stairway. He turned
back and endeavored to rescue the lads.
His efforts, however, were unavailing,
for they could not be reached on ac-
count of the fury of the flames
McGarrity made his escape just before
the interior of the building gave way,
and watched for the boys to come out.
He did not see them again, and thinks
without doubt that they were buried
in the ruins. A large crowd is gathered
about the ruins Of the Central theater,
on Walnut street, where worllmen arc
clearing away the debris and hunting
for the bodies of those who arc suppos.
ed to have been lost.
At $3.50 Friday morning one of the
bodies was found, 1t was q headless
trunk. From the shreds of costume
which clung to the charred form it is
believed by Mrs. Overlook, the ward
robe woman of the DEVILS Auction
company to be that of Thomas Lorella,
George Thatcher, Il young man who was
reported to the police as missing, and
who was supposed to have been in the
Central theater on the NJ Eht of the fire,
was seen and stated that he had beer
out of town, and was not at the theatel
at all.

say: Philip c. Hanna, U. S. consul to
La Guayra, was fired upon by police
man in the streets of La Guayra at $50
o'clock last Wednesday night The
bullet whizzed past unpleasantly close
to the consul, but did not hit him. Mr..
Hanna pohnced upon the policeman,
demanding to know what the shot
meant. When the policeman saw thar
it was the American consul whom he
mad fired upon, he nearly fell in fit.
He was sadly frightened and begged for
mercy. On the following day the Amer
lean consulate was besieged by govern
ment officials anxious to apologize for
the unfortunate affair. Mr.. Hanna as
sured the officials that he looked upon
the affair as a mistake and that he bore
the unfortunate policeman no i'll will.

startling Occurrence ON Lone Nountain-
Chasms Into which Trees Fall
NASHVILLE, Tenn. May Sunday
evening the people of Dayton expert
enced what seemed like an earthquake
shock, for which they could not account
at the time. Since then it has been dis
covered that a volcanic eruption occurred
on the summit of Lone mountain. about
two miles from the city. In a space
covering three hundred yards long and
one hundred yards wide, the earth sank
considerable around the edges, causing
large trees to fall into the chasm made.
Along the center of this area the earth
seems to have been heaved up several feet
high and large stones were hurled into
the air with such force as to leave dis
tinct marks on the surrounding trees.

FLOODING INDIANA.
Green Goods Swindlers of New York Sent

Green Goods Swindlers of New York Seat
tering Their Circulars.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 29.-The green
goods swindlers of New York are flood
ing this state, and more particularly
this city, with circulars in their peculiar
line. Banks, newspaper offices, mer-
chants and business men generally are
in daily receipt of the most allur-
ing bait, and the secret service
officers are powerless to check
the inundation. Thursday, stran-
ger, who was identified as d
butcher in West indianapolis, made
complaint to the government authori-
ties that friend of his had been in
weighed to New York, where he gave up
$500 in good money for package sup
posed to represent $4,000, and which,
upon returning home, proved to be sim
ply brown paper. He wanted the Sc
cret service to take the matter in hand,
but when he discovered that any party
having dealings with the green goods
swindlers was equally as culpable with
the principal he lost interest in the pro-
posed prosecution and hastily absented
himself. From every quarter of the
state reports are received by the secret
service officers of the operations of these
green goods scamps. 1t looks to the fed
eral authorities as if they found In
