BALTIMORE, Dec. %. As a result of
a panic in the Front-street Theater in
this city last night, twenty-seven peo-
pie were killed and about fifty were
more or less seriously injured. Near
ly all the victims were of Polish ma
tivity and Hebrew extraction.
The theater was crowded with peo-
pie who had assembled to listen to a
Hebrew opera. One of the atten-
dants lighted a, gas jet. There was
no tip to the burner, and as the light
Jared up somebody started the cry t
fire. A mad scramble for the exit
doors followed Somebody fell on
the steps at the entrance, and others
stumbled over him. 1t was here that
the fatalities occurred. -
The Front-street Theater is the one
in which Abraham Lincoln was nomi-
mated for President for a second term.

On Dec. II the Court of Appeals
rendered a decision in the election
case of Commonwealth VS.. Barry, JEFF
ferson county, affirming the lower
court. The opinion was by Judge
Guffy and the second point ruled
upon was that involved in the case of
Major VS.. Barker, from this county,
now pending in the Court of Appeals.
This decision, which virtually settles
and affirms the decision in the Chris
tian county case, is as follows:
"Second-To sustain such a charge
it is not competent for the Common
wealth to prove by voters how they
voted, as this would destroy the Sc
crecy of the ballot. And, besides, it
would be a dangerous practice to al
low the official action of the officers
of the election, watched and inspected
as it may be by the inspectors, to be
contradicted by the parole testimony
of the voter"

TERRIBLE LYNCHING.
A WHITE COUPLE PUT TO DEATH
WITH FIRE.
Marion County Mob Lynches VIM. Devers
and Mrs. West-HOrrible Details of
an Awful Crime.

LEBANON, KY, Dec. Within two
miles of this city last night relent-
less mob burned to death pregnant
woman and riddled with bullets her
gray-haired paramount. The blackened
and disfigured corpses of the victims,
Mrs. Thomas West and VIM. Devers,
were found in the ruins of the wo-
mans home to-day by the 10-year-old
daughter of the murdered man.
Several months ago Devers, mid
dle-aged widower, was accused by
Thomas West, prosperous farmer,
of intimacy with Mrs. West, Quar-
rel followed quarrel throughout the
fall until West instituted divorce pro-
ceedings and declared that Devers
must die. The men met in Lebanon.
West snapped his revolver, which
missed fire and Devers killed
him on the spot. On the plea of self
defense the murderer secured bail
and scandalized the neighborhood by
Immediately taking his two daughters
and moving into Vests house.
AS Devers was considered danger
Gus man, the members of the mob
were afraid to go into the house after
him. They began firing at the doors
and windows with their Winchesters.
This fusilade failed to dislodge the
occupants of the house and the leader
of the mob ordered his men to set the
building on fire in four places, which
they did. In less than fifteen min
utes the house was mass of flames
but still the occupants would not
leave and it was not until the build
ing was nearly destroyed that Devers
emerged from it with his clothing on
fire.
He was, evidently, almost suffocat-
ed, for he staggered, falling into a
corn shock near the fence. Members
of the mob saw him and began shoot
ing. He was soon corpse, being
wounded in dozen places. The wo-
man took refuge in the large old-fash-
toned fire place, but the flames burn
ed her so badly that she fell to the
floor, and when the neighbors search
ed the rains at noon to-day her CHAIR
ed remains were found.
The limbs and head were entirely
gone. Her corpse and that of Devers
were taken to Lebanon, the county
seat, where an inquest was held.
The Devers girl was the onl y witness
and her reason being nearly dethron-
ed by the occurrence, she could give
no idea as to the identity of any of
the members of the mob.
| Devers killed West, the husband of
the dead woman, on the 9th of the
present month.

Seven prisoners, three murderers
and four burglars, escaped from the

Acting President Kelly appointed
a committee to ascertain the where
abouts of President Howell and the
cause OF his absence, to report at the
next meeting. He also appointed
Coils. Green Champlin and Bob Wool
bridge to represent the Baldheaded
Club at the reception of the "As You
Like IT. Club Wednesday night. Col.
Champlin asked to be excused, saying
leap year began Wednesday and he
was afraid to tempt fate by mingling
with the fair sex. He was afraid he
would be so much sought after that
he would be embarrassed by the at
tentions shown him, and begged leave
to decline in favor of Col. Hiram
Phelps, who was anxious to get mar
ried and become bald enough for
third degree membership. The
change was made and Col. Champlin
was so tickled that he smiled aud
IDLY.
A letter from President Cleveland
was read, in response to the offer
made by the Club at the last meeting
to help him whip England, accepting
the offer and directing the Club tc
hold itself in readiness to march on a
years notice.
Col. Woodbridge, who was still
painting for gore, moved that the
Club help the Cubans lick SPAR
while waiting for something harder.
This was not received with favor
however, and the motion, in the alb
sence of a table, was laid on the
piano.
The Club then adjourned.

Rastus VIII Be In 1t.

Manager Henry Weaver, of the
Planters told the other st. Louis no.
tel managers in a conference held at
the St. Nicholas, that he expected to
carry out the promise of Sam M. Ken
nard, to the National Republican
Committee, that colored delegates to
the Republican Convention would be
given the same entertainment as the
white delegates. Manager Wesley
Austin, of the Laclede, said that
where contracts are made to state
delegations in masses no discrimina-
tions can be exercised. The dele
gates would be expected, however, to
settle among themselves how they
would divide the rooms. AS to table
space, Mr.. Austin presumed that col
ored delegates would be admitted to
the first-class hotel dining room in
company with those of their own dele,
gates. The question as it will be pre-
sented in June will be a new one fol
ST. Louis hotels to handle, as the ne
gro race will be represented in the
convention by perhaps 200 men.

The movement has already been en-

the Irish leaders say, the largest ever

The general outlook for an exception

cept in the Dakotas and Minnesota,
where it is somewhat late, and in In
diana, where it is maturing slowly, the
crop is generally in advance of the
season. Kansas and Missouri report
much of the crop made, and in Mis-
souri, the largest crop ever raised in
that state is promised. Six hundred
