1 Sight Sickened Reaouera.
' As the police removed layer after
layer of dead in those doorways, the
sight became too much even for the
police and 'firemen, hardened as they
are to such sights, to endure. The
men worked at the task with- tears
running down their cheeks, and the
sobs of the rescuers could be heard
even in the hall below, where an awful
scene was being enacted. A number
of men aurere compelled to . abandon
their tasks and give it over to others
whose nerves had not as yet been
shaken by the awful experience.. V;
! There were women whose clothing
was torn completely from their bodies
abovs the waist, whose bosoms had
been trampled into a pulp and whose
faces were marred beyond all' hope (if
Identification. In the first and second
balconies bodies were piled up in the
aisles three and four deep, where- one
had fallen and others tripped over the
tirostrata forms.
liln the aisles nearest vthe doors the'
scenes were harrowing in the extreme.
Bodies lay in every conceivable atti
tude half naked, the look ort their faces
revealing some portion 6f the agony
with which must have preceded their
O.fath. There were scores and scores
nf people whose entire faces had been-trami-ltd
completely off. '
In one aisle the body of a man was

found vlth not a vestige of clothing
or flesh remaining above his waist line.
The entire upper ' portion of his body
had been cut into mince meat and car
ried away by the feet of those who
had trampled upon him. . . -

A number of stockmen who have
been in town during the past few days
say horses, cattle and sheep are winter

they can eat on the open ranges, while
horses and cattle have required but
little feed. No matter what kind of
weather prevails during January and
February, there cannot be any mater

SHARKS IN EUROPE.
The disagreeable fact has to be faced
according to the current testimony of
fishermen of several nations, that the
shark has once more to be reckoned
with In European waters. In the Bal
tic where sharks had been extinct since
1769, they have made their appearance
In considerable numbers, and several
fishing boats report having had whole
draughts of fish devoured ; from the
nets, which were broken in the Belt
and the Catugat. A flsheinan who
fell overboard narrowly escaped with
his- life, " Shoals of sharks, some of
them of- large size, have been seen oil
the German coast, and- they 'are1 even
reported as becoming far from rare In
the North sea. Their presence Is at 4
