A -Russian Theatre Destroyed by Fire. \

New York, March 20.—A cable special to the " Herald" from St. Petersburg says: " The following are the details of the fare at the Theatre Demidoff:-The fire lasted till 4 o'slockin the morning. Although the theatre stands isolated in a garden, the wind blew theflatnesinthedirection of some neighbour, ing houses, doing only slight damage to them, however. The whole theatre was entirely consumed, it was a.wooden bm d ing.ana not a trace of it is now visible _fT.re must have been about eight hundred persons in the theatre when the fire broke out. Thanks to the energy and presence of mind of the Commis sary of Police, all were Raved. Seeing the smoke, he at once rose and cried out to the audience: "Don't stir; let one row of the stalls only be emptied at a time, and in fave minutes the house can be cleared. His suggestion was followed. Meanwhile the police opened the doors, which were con slrnctcd after the panic caused by the de struction of the King Theatre at Vienna, and in five minutes, as he had told the people, the theatre was emptied. The fire had originated in one of the actresses rooms. It is. supposed that a dri 83 or petti coat caught fire.

Shot Dead in a Court Room. Dallas, Tex., March 14.-The city of Dallas, in Texas, was thrown into great excitement on the afternoon of March 14, by the announcement that ex-Mayor J. M. Thurmond had been shot and killed in the county court room by ttobert E. Cowart, a prominent lawyer. Thur mond was well Known throughout tho State as a lawyer and local politician. A bitter feeling has exiatsd for nearly three years between him and Cowart. About three yeats ago Thurmond was voted out of the office of Mayor by the Ctty Council for lack of confidence, after a long and bitter struggle, in which Cowart acted as chief attorney for the city. At the special election following Tnurmond was a candidate for re-election and Cowart stumped the city against him, securing his defeat af ter a moet bitter contest Since that time Thurmond has had many, narrow escapes from serious personal violence on account of his bitter expressions of hatred for his enemies and opponents.^ This state of things grew worse during the next municipal canvass, Thurmond being a can didate for Alderman for the Second Ward, and, it is said, prompting certain bitter articles against Cowart and others in a now evening newspaper. The two met on the date mentioned In the Court House, and, after an exchange of ugly words, in which Thurmond seems to have been the aggressor, both men almost simultaneously drew their pistols. Cowart fired first, the ball pausing through his antagonist's head, and causing instant death. The statements of witnesses indicate a clear case of self defence. Thurmond was known throughout Colo rado, California, Montana, and Texas. He was driven from Montana years ago by vigi lants, because he was the legal defender of road agents. He was a native of Ken tucky, aged about 45 years, and was Dis trict Judge in Texas during tho adminis tration of Edmond J. Davis. Cowart is a native of Atalanta, Ga. He is about 35 years old, and stands high at the Dallas bar. The principal attorneys of the city volunteered to defend him. He is under arrest. Fully 5,000 people poured through the _ourt House to view Thurmond's re mains. Cowart was released on $200 bond, the verdict of tho Corcnor's jury being tbat he killed Thurmond in self-defence. The case goes before the Grand Jury.

An Engineer Shot in His Office.

Tombstone, March 25.—A Charleston special says:-"Mr Peel, civil engineer of the Tombstone Mill and Mining Company, was shot and killed by some unknown person to-night. Mr Peel, in company with Mr Austin, Superintendent, and Mr Cheyney, was sitting in his office, when the door was suddenly thrown open and_ two masked men appeared, each armed with a rifle. Each levelled his rifle, one at Mr Austin and the other at Mr Peel, and fired almost simultaneously, and Mr Peel fell, pierced through the heart Mr Austin, the instant the . assassins levelled their guos, and before they could fire, dropped to the floor, and the leaden messenger of death passed over him, within sis inches of his head. Immediately upon the fall of Mr Pee), the murderers j-an and disappeared over the hill, at the back of the office. At this hour it is impossible to assign the motive for the das tardly deed. It certainly could not have been fur the purpose of robbery, for it is known that outside of bullion they keep hut very little money on hand. Tucson, March 26.-M. R. Peel, who was assassinated last night at Charleston by two unknown men, was the son of Judge B. L. Peel, formerly of Loa Angeles, but now residing in Tombstone. He went to Charleston only a few months ago to take charge of the construction of a new dam across the San Pedio river for the Tombßtone Mill and Mining Company, and was an educated and refined gentleman. No reason other than robbery can be given as the motive for the deed. Mimlerih County Mayo.

A murder was perpetrated on the niyht of March 2, at a place called Ballydrehid, within half a mile of Ballyhannis. The victim was a young man about twenty-five years of age, named Pat Freely, a son of David Freely, a most respectahle farmer, who resides on the property of Mr Taaffe, and who was a member of the local branch of the Land League, and a most popular man in the neighbourhood until it became known that he had paid his rent. The fate which has met the unfortunate young man was apparently) not intended for him, as the party broke in the door, and, it is said, shouted for the "traitor who paid hiß rent." They then went into the ro6m where the young man was Bleeping with two young brothers, and not finding the father, they seized the son, dragged him outside, an subjected him to the vilest usage. Ho then made his escape into the house, where he was followed and once raore dragged ont, when two' shots were heard which must have, instantly put an end to the life struggle. Martin Cunnane, secretary of the late Behan Land League, his son, Patrick Cunnane, Patrick Byrne, Patrick Finn, and three brothers named Brennan, have been arrested in connection with the murder. A Farmer Killed by his Neiglt bour.

At lone, on April 5, Mr Thomas Nurse, a small farmer and stockman, living 3 miles out of the towD, was shot and in- j stantly killed by his neighbour, William Kirkendall, a man perhaps 70 years old. The causes that led to the sad event grew out of a disputed piece of of land on which Kirkendall turned his horses. Nurse, con sideting this a tresspass, proceeded to turn "tbe horses off, but was confronted by Kir kendall who ordered him to desist, but Nurse not doing so was shot from his horse and instantly killed. Kirkendall claims self-defence, but those best informed at pre sent fear the claim is groundless. Longest Fast on Recard. One day in January Miss Hermann, of Jeffersonville, Indiana, suddenly became violently insane and was arrested. She re quested the arresting officer to kilher a, .he desired to go to Heaven without delay. When this was refund her she determined to die by starving herself. She was sent to the Insane Department of the Clark County Poor Asylum near Charleston. The visiting physician and superintend, nt used every effort in their power to induce her to par take of food, but to no purpose. ' One day shortly after her arrival at the asylum she ate a portion- of an apple, nut since that time the superintendent avers that' she par took of no' food whatever, -he would drink a little water once a day for a while, but lately had been unable to retain water oil her stomach. She fasted 62 days before dying. : Edwin Bocth's Fear of Death. CHtCAOO, March 28.—Edwin Booth, now playing an engagement in this city, re cently wrote a letter to the Superintendent of the Elgin Insane Asylum, inquiring if Mark Grey is still confined there. Being informed that Grey was still safely within the walls of'that institution, Booth con cluded arrangements to i>lay in Chicago, but did not feci safe In visiting this oity if Grey was still at large. This was the young crank who l-ttempted to shoot Booth in McVickerss Theatre thtee years since, and who, upon trial, proved to be insane, and waß sent to the asylum. Grey .still maintains that

Booth is his father, and it is well known that the young man bears a strong resem blance to the distinguished actor. Shocking lraaedy in France.

A shocking tragedy is reported from France. A farmer was employed ou his grounds at Plonguenal, near Saint Briens, while his son was guiding the plough. In order to expedite the lad. the father threw at him' what he supposed to be a lump of clay, with all his strength. Unfor tunately, tnere was a stone in the soft mass, which struck the boy on the temple, and killed him almost instan taneously. The father, wild with grief, went and hanged himself from a tree. The mother of the dead boy, bearing of the event, ran out to the scene, having first placed her infant, whom she was anrsiug, on a heap of manure. When the unhappy woman returned the child was fount torn to pieces by the pigs. The sadly-stricken woman has gone mad with grief.

i Murdered his Wife ana Mother. I Waterbury, Vt, March 14 —On Sunday, March 12, at Waterbury, Vermont, a man named Michael McCaffrie, ased 50 yearß, killed his wife, of the same age, and his own mother, aged 80 years, and concealed their bodies in the cellar of his house. On the following Tuesday afternoon he hitched up his wagon, put his seven children in it, and brought them to Waterbury Centre from the Cotton Brook district, where he lived a mile from any neighbour. His eldest boy, aged 14 years, said that on Sunday night he heard terrible screams in the house, and that ho had not, seen his mother or grandmother since. His father had kept the cellar door tightly fastened. The authorities took McCaffrie to the scene, and found the bodies in the cellar. The murderer exhibited the knife with which he killed the women. He stabbed them to death in their bedrooms, dragged the bodies to the cellar door and tumbled them iv, afterwards going down and covering them with a sheet and bed quilt. In years . past McCaffrio has been demented, and two years ago was taken to the Brattle boro' Insane Asylum, where ho remained several months, being discharged as cared. He is evidently insane now.

SHIP IN DISTRESS.

[BY TEL-GRAPH.-PRHSS ASSOCIATION.]

. WELLINGTON, this day. H.M.S. Emerald reports that ou Saturday evening, while on the passage from Sydney to Wellington, a barque was lighted flying signals of distress. The Emerald went to the assistance of the vessel, which proved to be the Campsie "Glen, that left Timaru for Newcastle in ballast on tfee 21st ult. When the Emerald was within hailing distance the mate of the barque stated that the captain had committed suicide. He also asked for the longitude and rate of chronometer. These were called to him and also signalled .by flags. A heavy squall now came down, and no further communication took place. The captain's name was Smith, but those on board the man-of-war could not ascertain in what manner he had destroyed himself, The Emerald stood by the vessel all night, and nothing being amiss she stood ou her course.

THE PROPOSED WATERSUP PLY AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM FOR PARNELL.

The voting by the burgesses of Parnell on tbe question of whether or not a loan of £14,000 th-11 bo raised for the purpose of supplying that suburban borough with a drainage system and water supply is taking place today. A great deal of interest is evinced in this matter, the Mayor and Councillors working hard for the carry ing out of both schemes. Vehicles heating placards, on which are printed the words, "Vote for Drainage and Water," are flying about the usually quiet streots. The polling booth is the Council Chambers, and in front ot it a little knot of people were collected during the earlier part of the day, Amongst them was tbe venerable Mr Strange, whose antipathy to the schemes is well known. The old gentleman strutted about bearing round his neck a placard with this uniquely-worded appeal, " Ratepayers, vote for no water loan, no drainage loan, and send the plunge bath to L." Plenty of good-humourod banter was indulged in on both sides. On onr reporter asking 'concerning the whereabouts of Mr Abbott, who so vigorously denounced ths proposals of the Council at the ratepayers' meeting, he was informed " that ai the sky was overcast, Mr Abbott had gone home, hoping to aug ment his cold-aa-an-iceberg-clear-as-crystal heaven-sent water supply." The returning officers jjare Major-General Gossett and Mr Houghton, the former attending to the water ballot and the latter to the drainage. At two o'clock it was roughly estimated that 250 votes had been recorded. The Act provides that to carry the scheme a clear majority of the true voting power is. neces sary. As there are about 39. genuine voters on the Parnell roll, it will be seen that about 200 votes will require to be recorded in favour of each scheme to ensure adoption. Evory burgess is permitted to exercise all the votes he is entitled to by virtue of the amount, of rates,contribnted by biro. It is quite possible tbat tbe water scheme will be adopted, and the drainage proposals rejected ; indeed, we were informed tnat a very considerable number of ratepayers had recorded their votes in favour of the water only. The poll closes at six this evening, and the result should be known three-quarters of an hour later,

PONSONBY BY CHORAL SOCIETY'S CONCERT.

Tub Ponsonby Choral Society inaugurated last night its series of quarterly concerts under rather disadvantageous circum stances. The weather was threatening all tho evening, and just at 8 o'clock the long impending rain began to fall. Yet in spite of this a large number of people assembled at the Hall, while the performers mustered in good strength, and executed their several tas_B with spirit and decided ability. Herr Carl Schmitt conducted. The choruses generally weie given with vigour and re solution, the attack being prompt and the harmony fairly sustained. That from 'Athalie'wasundoubtinglythebest Indeed, it m»y bo regarded as the Rom of the even ing, and the storm of plaudits that it evoked could not justly have Leen withheld. The other choruses were : " May Day," "Of i\ the Airts the WimLCan Blaw," "Hail us, ye Free," and "Men of Harlech." Mrs Judson sang Sullivan's song, "The Distant Shore," with her accustomed sweetness and the con fidenc. imparted by sound and thorough musical knowledge, while Miss fl&lstead - rendering of the well-known cavatina from "Sstanella" was also successful. The favourite duet, "Tel Kammonti," waa sung most effectively by tho same lady and Mms Tole. The two voices, being much alike in weight and timbre, blended very agreeably, and the result was a vocal treat. Mrs Upton sang with her usual ability, and was deservedly applauded. Mrs Csropbell contributed happily a aong by Gumbert, and Mr J, Edwards was cordially enoored for his singing of the Bentimental air, " Madoline.' He responded with "Carisiima." In consequence of the illness of Mr J. A. Tole, M.H.K., the selected trio in which he was to have taken part with Missou Tole and Halstead had to be omitted, and one from " Athalie," with the accompanying chorus, substituted. The Choral Society's orchestra was present, and performed with decided effect two overtures, viz., "La Couronno dOr," and "Le Mdnetrier de St Waast" Great credit is due to tho Possonby Choral Society lor the successful resu.t of its initiatory concert, and to Herr Schmitt also for bis instru mentaHty in leoding^to its achievement. Tho remainder of the series ought to bo well patronised.

A meeting of the committee of the Ac climatisation Society was held this after noon. Present:— Messrs Barstow (chair), Mackechuie, MacfTarlane, and J. Russell. The business consisted of the reading and adoption of the report of the sub-committee of this society, to the sub-committee of the Domain Board, in respectof a matter of joint support, and which will be presented at tbe Domain Board to-morrow for its considera tion. It was decided, on the motion ef Mr Mackechnie, "That £50 be expended on tront ova this season, to be left in the hands of the old committee, Messrs Bull, Pond, Bsratow, and Cheeseman. It was also agreed to send £10 worth of mountain quail to-order to Mr Gardiner, of Tauranga. Several other matters were discussed, and payment of current accounts ordered.

Some of the exhibitors at the recent P~ rt Exhibition are making complaint of the damaged condition in which their contri butions have been delivered up to them. We have been shewn, by way of illustra tion, the fragments of a pretty cactus flower, fashioned in wax, by Miss Burßlcm. It was a choice little pro duction when sent in, hut as returned to its owner it is simply worthless. The leaves have been broken off, and the wax peeled away, so that it is irremediably destroyed. Our informant states that some women weie observed on Saturday night pulling open the petals of the flower in order to ascertain the mode of fabrication. Such conduct is most reprehensible. Mr Keesing's fans and other exhibits have suffered similarily at the hands of over cuiioua people. If the Art society can guarantee no better care of contributed' articles tnan this, people will be very loth to assist tbem with loans of specimens of art
