Doings of the Lawn akers.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The old story
of government injustice to the Indians was
discussed all yesterday in the senate by
Jones of Arkansas in connection with the
suspended appropriation of nearly 6, ,OO0,-
600 for land taken from the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. Mr.. Jones contended
that great injustice had been done BY the
president in holding up the appropriation,
and the contrary view was taken by Alli-
son and Platt. No action
The house wasted four hours in an at
tempt to proceed with the diplomatic and
consular bill. The reductions made by
the committee in the salaries of several i'm
portant missions, notably that of the en-
voy to Venezuela, was not acceptable to
the Republicans nor to many Democrats,
and the house found itself without a vot-
ing quorum, although three calls of the
committee showed a quorum present each
time. Failing to secure a quorum the
house adjourned.

One witness of the panic said: "The up

with a little child, and saw several women

attention. Men clambered over the backs

PHILADELPHIA, April 29-The excite
ment having in a measure subsidized, it is
at last known how many persons were
burned at the Central theatre Wednesday
night. 1t is known that they number six
vt least, and some believe the list will be
increased. Their names are: William L.
Brooks, Thomas Lorella, Mrs. Flora Lor-
tlla, Miss Fanchon Conyers, Miss vincen-
rie Chitten, and Miss Sarah Goldman, of
the Devils Auction" company. The fol-
lowing is a list of those at the Jefferson
hospital who are seriously and probably
fatally injured: William Quin ey, 10; John
Quincy, %, and Fred Evans, Is.
Last Seen of the Unfortunates.
Fanchon Conyers was from Chicago and
had no relatives in the company. She was
seen trying to escape from beneath the
stage by the western stairway and there is
no doubt that she was overcome by the
smoke. Sarah Goldman is also a Chicago
girl. Her sister, Regina Goldman, escaped,
but has given Sarah up for lost. She re-
membered nothing of her sister after the
first wild rush from the dressing-room.
William l.. Brooks was a resident of this
city. Thomas Lorella was gymnast and
Flora Lorella, his wife, was a coryphee.
Miss Chitten was the premier danseuse
and one OF the famous Chitten sisters.
Went Back for His Wife.
Mr.. Lorella was seen to come out of the
theatre by the narrow alleyway leading
from the stage to Walnut street. Upon
reaching the street he found that his wife
was still in the building and he rushed
back to rescue her and perished with her.
Miss Chonchancita Chitten said last night
that she saw her sister, Miss Yincencie, on
the street after the fire had started, and
she is positive that the young lady ran
back to recover some jewelry and other
yaluables and was suffocated or burned 10
death in her dressing-room
Fate of Three Others.
Mr.. Brooks, Miss Conyers and Miss
Goldman were not known to have emerged
from the theatre after the alarm was Civ
en-, and it is the general impression that
Mr.. Brooks endeavored to rescue the two
women ard that they all lost their lives
while trying to find their way from be-
meath the stage. The bodies cannot be
recovered until the walls of the burned
buildings are torn down, as they would
inevitably fall if any attempt were made
to dig under their foundations. A force
of men began work last night pulling
down the walls, and the digging for the
dead will begin at once.
Sixty Persons More Less Hurt.
Sixty persons were more or less severely
injured besides those noted above The
total monetary loss is now put at $500, 900,
partly insured.

NASHVILLE, April "a terrible crime
followed by swift punishment is reported
from Goodlettsville, ten miles from Nash.
Vile. on the st. Louis branch of the Louis
vile and Nashville road. The toll-keeper
Lee Bruce, living half q mile from town
died about amonth ago leaving, wife and
. daughter nearly grown, Senia, aged 15
Wednesday night cousin Of Senia, Mary
Bruce, spent the night with her, and one
or two other women were there sitting up
with sick child. About 10 O'Clock two
negroes broke into the house and after
robbing two rooms came into the room
where the girls were in bed. As if by
premeditation the brutes put out the light
and each seized one of the girls who
screamed and resisted until they were
overpowered, the elder being badly injured
before the brutes accomplished their pur-
pose.
One of the Guilty Hanged.
The women sitting in the other room
ran away from the house for help, the
nearest house being half mile distant
Before they came with help the brutes had
got away. Search was at once instituted,
and at daylight every man in and around
Goodlettsville was on the hunt. Five ne
groes were captured and taken before the
girls for Identification One proved an
alibi. Henry Grizzard was identified and
hanged to tree. The other three were
sent to Jail to await developments Before
he died Henry Grizzard confessed his
crime and implicated Mack Harper, but
the girls were too excited to positively
identify Harper at the time On Grizzard's
body was pinned card reading Death to
the man who cuts the body down before
midnight"
Quite a Considerate Mob.
Detective Morton, of the Louisville and
Nashville, secured team and started to
Nashville with Eph Grizzard, John Gr:z-
zard and Mack Harper They were pur-
sued by the mob, and overtaken a short
distance from town. John Clarke who
was driving the team drove faster, but the
mob fired on the party, wounding Morton
and Clarke, neither seriously. They then
captured the three negroes, took them
back to town and before the girls for
Identification. The girls were not positive
and so the mob turned the negroes over to
the sheriff, who brought them here.

Sympathy CPystalizing for

The strike today presents no new
phases that is Of Importance. The
fact of the business is, it is hard to
get anything new at this point, The
telegraph Office on the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass is closed aud as
there is no effort to ruu trains on the
Waco branch, there is very little to
report in way o, casualties. The Hous.
ton train was run out of San Antonio
yesterday aud made the trip with no
hindrance save universal guying and
refusual Of restaurants to sell
the train Grew anything to
eat. There was company
Of Texas Rangers aboard and at
Yoakum desperate effort was made
to get lunch for the crew and passen-
gers, but was unsuccessful. The
restaurants refused to sell meals at
any price to any of the train crew or
any of the rangers. The grocers
were appealed to for cheese and
crackers but refused to sell single
S cents worth. The Rangers and the
train men proceeded on their journey
in very ravenous condition.
