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. This
is an Increase o f about $16,000 over
the total expenses of a year ago, when
the figure ran up to $107.806.03.

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

were burned. Loss, $75,000.
