DISTRICT OP COLl'MIHA l'AVS HALF EXPENSE Washington, Jan. IS. By an odd freak of legislation the District of Columbia will have to bear $2 5,000, or one half of thte expense of prose cuting alleged land grafters In Ore gon. The district revenues are dug intc to the extent of $24,"00 to prosecute I Hyde, Benson, Dlmond and Schneider, because a law passed several years ago that the court expense in Ihc dis trict should besjiorno. one-half by j the United States and one-half by the I district. Consequently the district .(treasury is out to the tune of $24,- nuu ' through no iauit ot t lie ns trict's citizens. By the annual report of County Clerk Frank Sailing just made to the secretary of state, it is shown that the total expenses of the county for the last year were $123,434.83.

The. coroner places tile number of (lead at 1 SO. lloyertown, l'a., .Ian. 14. When daylight dawned the full extent of last night's five, when the Ithnailos opera house burned, was fully appa rent. The death list Is plurccl at I"i0, Injured, 75. Kxactly how many were killed will never be known for among tlio victims were a number of visit ors who may have no relatives to trace their untimely fate, it is esti mated that four hundred were ill the playhouse when the explosion of the! gas tank occurred. The tank was being used In connec-l Hon with pictures fur an amateur , performance of the "Scottish Itefor-: inatlon" for the benefit of St. John's Lutheran Sunday school. Instantly after the explosion some one yelled "lire!" and almost In less time than It takes to tell it the centre of the; opera house was a blazing furnace. I The rapidity with which the Humes spread was caused by the upsetting of coal oil lamps used as footlights by j persons on Hie stage In their eager ness to allay the alarm and oulct the audience. Paiulemonuim reigned. ! Kven men lost control and fought with women and children to escape to the street. ) The mad scramble at tho exits was; indescriable. Tlio weaker ones were i pushed usido and In many Instances ! trampled to death. Scores of per sons on the second floor, after wit nessing the horrible scenes on the ground floor, risked their lives by Jumping from the windows. Several wore fatally Injured In this manner, and scarcely a house in the littlo town is not afflicted by last night's catastrophe. The (ire was not brought, under control until early this morning, af ter the arrival of assistance from Heading and l'ottstown. Physicians and nurses were also sent from other towns to care lor t lie Injured. About fifty members of the state constabulary have come hero to main tain order. Tho work of recovering the bodies is unusually tedious and liii'.nrdotis owing to the fact that in the rush to escape the floor gave way, precipitating many persons to the basement, and the bodies of these aro buried with the charred timbers un der tons of brick from tho collapsed walls. 1 in addition to the opera house the Farmers' National Bank, Erhan'a hardware 'house and three dwellings were burned.

December 10th ! and lllh have already been chosen as Hie date of the Oregon meeting. The somewhat disturbed financial situation In the East and South Is causing Industrial Institutions In the Dlfler states to Investigate th oppor ' (unfiles for a more advantageous i home In the great Pnrlflr Northwest, or t least this would be Indicated by the fact that the Portland Commor ' clal (.'ub has had more correspon 1 deuce on this subject within the lust 'sixty days than during the previous twelve months. ! The Immigration to Oregon and i Washington this year ought to be double that of last. In no other two stale has rvery character of crop yielded so enormously and command ed such a high price.
