ASTORIA, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, J 887.
A TEEBIBLE HOLOCAUST.
London, Sept. 5. A -theater at
Exeter took fire this evening,
during the performance of "Ro
many Rye." The occupants of
the pit, in an awful struggle, es
caped, but mfiny of them were
greatly injured. There was only
one exit from the gallery, and the
crush there was terrific. Scores
were" trodden underfoot and suf
focated. A fire escape was
brought to a window, and many
inside were rescued. Sixty
corpses have been removed. The
mortalitv has been estimated at
100.
The fire blazed fiercely, light
ing up the whole city. People
were soon flocking to the scene
in thousands, inquiring for friends.
The scene inside the theater
when the fire broke out was an
awful one. Some men implored
ths audience to be calm, but it
was impossible to check the fran
tic rush. The the theater hose
was brought into play in a few
minutes, but water had little effect
on the flame.
The actors and actresses were
taken from the windows, with the
aid of the ladders. They lout
everthing except what they wore
at the time.
Up to the present time 130
bodies have been recovered. They
are almost unrecognisable. Thir
ty injured survivors have been
taken to the hospitals.
The firo burned throughout the
night.
The search for bodies proceeds
slowly. In many case every
shred of clothing is burned off and
the bodies look black and raw.
There are various reports as to
the origin of the fire. It is only
certain that flames broke out in
the scene shifter's department.
Those" who escaped say that the
special exit was properly opened.
The fire brigade arrived five min
utes after the breaking out of the
flames, but the efforts of the fire
men were without effect. There
were several thrilling rescues.
A majority of the victims were
men and boys. About thirty
women were burned.
"When the fire started the drop
soene was lowered to prevent
draughts. Some of the actors
opened a door to escape, causing
fire to burst through the drop
scone and to ignite the gallery.
The flames overtook the people,
who were wedged in an immova
ble mass, and roasted them to
death. Many who were resoued
alive died 60on after being
brought out of the burning build
ing. Tho occupants of the dress
oirole escaped without serious
harm.
UNDER CONTROL.
Sept. 6. A tclgram from Exo
ter at 5 o'clock this morning says
that the fire is under control.
The people, distracted with
anxiety, are standing about the
streets in the neighborhood of
the theater, in search of friends
who attended last night's per
formance. The hospitals are be
sieged by anxious inquiries for
friends. Twenty badly burned
persons who were admitted to the
hospital died a few minutes after
they were received.
London, Sept. G. The struc
ture burned was the Theatre
Royal. It was built after the
latest designs, and was elaborate
ly finished, being considered one
of the prettiest in the kingdom.
There was a full house to-night,
and everything was all right until
the end of the third act at half-
past ten, when the drop scene
fell, and in a moment the, whole
stage was a mass of fire. A wild
panio ensued. The occupants of
stall, pit and dress circle es
caped, after a dreadful crushing,
many being badly bruised. The
actors and actresses were in their
rooms when tho fire began, and
all escaped. The fire originated
in the flues, and spread rapidlj,
filling the theater with dense
smoke. The occupants of the
upper circle and galleries rushed
to the windows, screaming frantic
ally. Many jumped from the win
dows and were injured. Others
were resoued with the aid of lad
ders from the verandas.
A Convis Center, Mich., farmer
says it is sp warm out his way
that the horns' of the cattle had
shrunk, allowing the brass knobs

Somewhat Ahead of Time.
Thf Goldendale Sentinel tells a
good story on the local scribe of
the Tribune oi tne same piace.
Tho Sentinel savs: "It was some
two or three weeks ago, and the
individual referred to ot course
era- nnxious to be the first to
chronicle all the local events, had
impatiently watched a certain case
in tnwn for a week or so, and at
last, looking out through the win
dow of the othce, saw a doctor
leave the house from which he
was expecting the item. His coat
was off and his sleeves were rolled
up he being employed also in
rim nrnpifv nf foreman of the
officp but nere was a chance for
another item before going to press,
and, dropping his make-up rule,
he grabbed his hat and a nte
book and made for the house. A
vounsr ladv answered his sum-
mons, and m response to nis
suave and affable interrogation,
"Well, is it a girl or a boy?" re
plied: "You'd better wait till it's
born, hadn't you?" and slamming
the door, retired from the scene.
Don't Laugh at Nervous People.
Their sufferings are very real, although
you, w ilh j our vigorous physique and strong
nen es. can scarcely belle e it. Rather sug
gest the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
which, in removing every trace of djspep
sla, and regulating the liver and bowels,
strikes at and extirpates Hie most prolific
caue of chronic nervous trouble. That
tiervc-sliatterlng disease, feter and ague. Is
among the formidable ailments, to lhe re
mowri of which this genial remedy is spe
cially adapted. Nervous prostration, re
sulting from prolonged mental or phjsi-al
effort, is also a state of the s stem where the
Intervention of this tonic is very desirable,
more particularly as its use i to quiet and
relax the tension of overwrought nerves.
The Bitters are invaluable in rheumatism,
ueuralgU and klduey troubles. Employ no
substitute for It. ,
The Bearing Sea Seizures.
London, Sept. 5. In the house
of commons this evening, Sir

British vessels in Behring straits,
but they had received advices re
garding seizures made by .Ameri
can revenue cutters in August,
and government was in communi
cation with the United States
government in reference to the
matter.
