mmmmmmm. gg___ __—————Mil M in i.-HH r,._—-m— were literally roasted to death without the possibility.of ail effort being made to rescue them. The. building was thirty feet wido and fifty feet in length, and was constructed of sixteen-tcet boards put on end. It had a broad roof, with very steep pitch, and the loft, formed by the sloping roof, was the place in which the labourers were huddled for tbe night. Tho stairs leading to the loft were little better than a ladder. ROASTED ALIVE IN A DARK GARRET. The story, as told by an eye-witness of the fire, was substantially as follows : Be tween two and three o'clock this morning, Mr Kown, the boarding-house keeper, arose and kindled the kitchen fire, and left a lighted lamp on a table near the door leading to the dining-room, and then went to arouse his wife and servant girls; While he was gone an explosion occurrbd, and _in an instant the dining-room was filled with flames. Mr Kown succeeded in escaping with his wife and girls, but could not do more than call upon those upstairs to escape for their lives. In another moment the flamc3 had enveloped the stairway, thus cutting off all means of escape for tho doomed men above, except through the smdll openings at either end; and from these the sliding doors had to bs removed. The loft was lilled with straw, and com bustible material was in tho bedding. It was only thoso ,fl»ho were nearest to the opening who could iriake their exit, and twenty-three occupants oi the rooms, in tlie midst of the stifling Biriokeand horrid flames, succeeded in squeezing through the Openings iv some way. Their underclothiiig was on fire and some were nude. The others rushed frantically about the room, first to one end1) then to tbe other. Their cries were heard until the Bmoke suffocated them, and their voices were stilled. The scenes this morning at the'eito of the ill-fated building, were of a sickening character. In a lioap, in one corner of tho ruins, were tho charred remains of six men, who had evidently succumbed to the fiery element while endeavouring to escape through the open ings in the roof, .

THEATRE DISASTER.

Nearly a Thousand Persojis Rurned.—Heatrendinr/ Sights.

Vienna, Dec. B.—Yesterday was a fCte day in Vienno, in the celebration of the feast of the Immaculate Conception, but it ended with a public calamity unparalleled in the history of Vienna. A few minutes before 7, and before the commencement of the performance, the Ring Theatre, for merly known as the Opera Comique, on the Scotten Ring, tbe second finest theatre in the city, opened in 1873, was discovered to be in flames. The galleries were already crowded. The people who escaped have but a dim idea of what really happened. Those who were among the audience say that suddenly tbe curtain was raised, and the fire discovered racing on tho stage, and that the usual strife for life by those In the upper galleiies commenced. Many Bfjrang from the uppormost gallery and were killed, while of thoso who remained, it is impossi ble to say how many lost their lives, Death appears to have been due to suffocation. At present hundreds ot sanitary litters are be ing carried towards the theatre by swift footed men, who then bear away their bur den 'of dead. A company of soldiers are still arriving on the ground to relieve other companies who have been assisting the fire men in their du'.ies. At eleven o'clock tho inside of the theatre was quite gutted, only the beautiful front of the theatre being left standing. THE DEATH BOLL. At one o'clock it was discovered that the death roll was much larger than at first rumoured. An American physician, who had just returned from a visit to tho Alege mile Krakenhaus, told me that he had seen eighty-eight men and forty-four women laid out in that institution alone. The faces were black and tongues protruding, with froth issuing from their mouths with all the symptoms of suffocation. When he left the krakenhaua at midnight they were still carrying the dead away. He described the sight as horrible in the extreme, friends striving to identify Irioadß and relatives. Women were rushing about almost crazy from the fruitlets search. By two o'clock

TWO HUNDRED AND FOBTY BODIES Had been taken out of the theatre. It was' thought that a hundred more were still among the ruins. Reports up to two o'clock were of the dead from the gsllery, where ninety corpses were found in one mass. The fourth gallery had not yet been searched. It appears that the men who had charge of the iron screen, which should be let down in case of lire, and thns divided the stage from the auditorium, deserted their posts when the fire broke out, Latest reports say that the crowd in the galleries pressed in their despair toward the doors, and crushing each other, prevented most of the number from escaping. The smoke aud flames com pleted the woric of death in five minutes after the first alarm had been sriven. Fire men are still at work with torches, search ing the lowest parts of the house. At present it is considered unsafe to enter tbe uppermost gallery where the dead lie in great masses. Half of Vienna will be in mourning to-day for their friends and relatives. The corpses last recovered are little more than charred fragments. Gross neglect is charged against the management of the theatre. The law prescribes the use of oil lamps in corridors of theatres, so that the exits will be discover able in the event of failure of gas; but this precaution was utterly neglected, The per son in charge of the ircn curtain between the stage and auditorium appears to have fled at the first alarm. About two o'clock the fourth gallery fell in, and the firemen are carrying out lumps of charred bodies without form, and far beyond the possibility of recognition. Who these victims are will not be known until their relations announce them as missing. Long lists of dead and missing appear to night. • HOBBIBLE APPEABANCE OF THE DEAD. Persons who have seen tho dead in the foutth gallery describe the bodies as all lying in tbe position in which they had fallen forward, backward, upward, behind, together in convulsively clinging masses. They were unable to leave the gallery because tho doors opened inwards. Even had they escaped death here, it is scarcely possible that they would have escaped in the passages and narrow stairways, plunged in total darkness and filled with suffocating fumes. Death came to them quickly, hOwevor. Ia the narrow stairway between the second and third galleries the firemen dis covered a confused moss of human bodies writhed together. The corpses taken out of the galleries showed that tbe unfortu nates had at last struggled and fought each other in order to gain the door. Three of the corpses could not be separated, and they were borne away together. The scenes descriptive of the bodies awaiting recogni tion in various places are too fearful to repeat. Many of the dead appear to be ladies ot the better classes. On the fingers of one are brilliant diamonds. Most of tho bodies are simply without human shape.

LARGE SUMS OF MONEY Were subscribed to-day. On Sunday the afternoon matinees at all the theatres are to be for the benefit of the sufferers. The Emperor has given 5,000 florins. Mr Brown, of the firm of Brown Brothers & Co.j of New York, who with his wife and entire family, visited the Ring Theatre on Thursday afternoon at the matineo concert, and therefore left the theatre about an hour before the catastrophe, says that the stairways, narrow and winding, leading from the lobby to the parquet seats, were scarcely wide enough for two persons to pass, and that he had vowed after arriving in the open air again, neter more to take his family into such a death-trap.

THE VIENNA FIRE DEPABTMENT proved itself supremely inefficient. There was only one fire-engine, giving a stream scarcely larger than a finger, and it could not reach the upper portion of the house. The hand engines were only fed from water butts filled Iroin barrels driven into the ground. There was no fire-escape, and the ladders came late on the ground, and when they arrived mv. h time was lost in planting them. There was a great display of mili tary, who kept order, bnt of efficient fire men and apparatus there was a lamentable lack. SCENES AT THE FIXE. Vienna, December 10.—On the arrival of the Fire Brigade upon the scene it vtas found impossible to penetrate beyond the first tier of the theatre, the tuah of suffocating smoke and air extinguishing the lamps and torches. The firemen retired, under the momentary improssion that be cause their shouts were not answered there wero no more people in the theatre. Those j v»ho escaped on the first alarm, however, j soon undeceived them. Another effort ■was than made to penetrate tho parts of ■ tbe theatre which wero not actually j ■ntting, In the narrow passage between

i ) tho second and third galleries a i | mass of corpses was discovered, some i so..','closely interlocked that it , I was hardly possible to part them, i The -rat man discovered yraa got out alive, • but all the rest were dead. These wero i persons who had lost their way in conse : quence of the turning off of the gas, which, it is now ascertained, was done by Borne irresponsible person with a view to prevent an explosion. Home men were found grasp ing each other's throats. Subsequent in- i vestigation showed that in some cases per- , sons finding escape hopelep committed sui-; cide. It is stated by survivors tbat women j were seen to throw their children from the galleries into the pit at the time of tlie out break of the flames. I About tea o'clock the gasometer ex-_ pldded', the roof fell inj and the whole place 'i was reduced to a wreck. The gallery especially allotted to ladies, Was full. In one passage of the theatre, ! without an outlet, forty persons lost their I way, and being unable to return, wero ' spffocated. The sight of wives searching for their husbands, children looking for. their parents and parents for their children, was heartrending. The immense crowd J stood silent ill death, watching the flames. The telegraph office; only two minutes' walk from trie fire; w_scrowded by persons who had escaped from the fire, and who in formed their friends and relatives of iHeir safety, to allay fears. t heard many Americans cabled home that they were among the living. Among the missing are young Count Sigitmund and several other students fiom the private Military College. A- UPSET LAMP TIIE CAUSE. The generally accepted theory of tho origin of the fire is the accidental upsetting of a small spirit-lamp. The first act of " Contes de Hoffman" represents a students' beer house, in which a lamp is used. A lady who was in the third row of the parquet at the time of the disa»ter says :— " I was just about to take out my opera glass from its case, when suddenly 1 re marked that the curtain was driven out violently towards me, A sheet of fire poured out immediately after over the seats. I grasped my friend by the arm, and hurried towards the central entrance, but in a moment all the lights were extinguished. We were in complete darkness, and only by keeping a firm hold of the railing , were we enabled to grope our way down the , staircase. Suddenly to my horror I found Imy friend no longer clung to me. I. screamed out her name, and to my delight I ' was answered. She caught hold of me . again, and we brushed out through tho darkness with a living mass of fugitives, and were saved."

Many places of business were closed all day. Among the victims is one entire family of seven. The father arrived home on Thursday, after six mouths' absence, and celebrated bis birthday by taking all to the theatre. Many bodies lack hands or feet, which were torn off in the struggle lor life. One beautiful young lady lost both arms.

It gradually dawned upon those who witnessed the beginning of the fire that only a very few persons were seen to emerge from the building. Thero was a'sudden rush of people into the lobby, lasting scarcely a minute, and then there was silence. No more came, and it was a'sumed that all had escaped. At five minutes after seven a police sergeant, being asked by one of the Archduke's men if the people had escaped, replied " Not a boul has been injured." The sergeant |has resigned his position to-day. Not until twenty minutes had elapsed did the police officials dream of even examining the auditorium of the theatre, and'when they cndeavouaed to make search they could not reach the par quette, one story above ground, because of tne ladies biosking up tlie narrow stairway. They had no idea of the exact catastrophe uutil the people themselves reported the absence of relatives and friends the next morning. Death came so quickly that only a few at most from tbe second gallery es caped, while from the fourth gallery, where it was computed that there were six hun dred people, only one or two hundred. effected their escape. SS. STORIES BY SUEVIVOKS. ; A young man thus tells the story of his escape from tho theatre : " Thursday after noon I met my sister at the station. She Was returning home trom Vienna. I greeted her ~rith the words, ' I have a surprise for you. I have two scats for the Ring Theatre,' At halt-past six we took our seats in the front row of tho third gallery. When the fire came out through the curtains, I felt a fearful heat in my face. My sister, leaning her head on my breast, Bobbing, said: "Moritz, we mußt die now." Quick as thought I grasped ber, trembling as she was in every limb, and dragged her with me. In spite of the smoke we reached the stairs and escaped, but we were almost alone."

An eye-witness said that as soon as the fire burst through the curtain into the auditorium, a terrible cry went up from the entire house. To spring and hasten to the exit was the work of a moment. In the) corridors the deepest darkness prevailed. With' many others I tried to make my way in the dark ; caught hold of the coat of a person before mo, and my own ccit was held by a string oi others behind me. Thus we groped our way'to the stairs, where also it was pitch dark. All fell on one an other, but finally we reached the grand loggia. While we were escaping we heard the piercing ihrieks of the unfortun ates who were either crushed to death or suffocated by the smoke and tunics. Those who could not escape by the stairs has tened to do so by tbe windows of the loggia. It was a terrible time. Dense crowds struggled together, those behind urging those in frcat to spriDg out or we should all die. Some made the spring and were caught by the public below. I re mained until tbe nets were brought, and the life leap could be made in safety. SCENE AT THE MOBQTJ-. The dead bodies in the morgue tell more of the terrible death which the victims met than the report that any eye-witness has yet given. Some appear to have died from an (location alone. Two beautiful girls are there wit— their faces scarcely discoloured, looking as it they were only asleep. Another youthful female figure lies there, only the charred stump of her neck remaining, while her body and other extremities are un touched. The lineu of her underclothing is as spotless white as when on tbe afternoon ol the fatal day she dressed,.herself, for the play. Her death is described easily. Caught in the dense surging crowd, tho flames descending upon them all, charring and consuming only the heads, with the fiery heat. Most or the better preserved bodies show one arm uplifted, aa if struggl ing for freedom, while the other hand is closely pressed to the mouth to exclude tho destroying breath of the fire. Others havo the heads and upper part of the bodies with out disfigurement, while the feet and legs are charred off. Other victims are represented by the trunk alone, the heads, feot aud legs missing entirely, 'i'hoae who were exposed to the flames are as dark las Africans, but with the form and features often faithfully preserved. Tho other bodies retain the form of the last desperate struggle, the features expressing the first cramp of agony. Others are fair women, some with diamond rings still1 glittering on their fingers, the only objects by which they can possibly be recognised. Some have been trampled to death and then partly consumed by tbe fire. Some have their skulls crushed in and limbs distorted and broken. From others the bowels protrude—a horrifying sight. Last night about midnight, ayoungman^ belonging, by his drees, to the upper"class, was found in a side street, near the burn ing theatre, bareheaded and tinging, in sanity expressed in his staring eyes, and crying out incessantly a sinirlo word, " Amatie, Amatie." He held a atrip of f nr, worn by ladies around tbe neck, hysterically to his bosom. " Where do you live 1 Have courage," said a compassionate bystander, but his only answer was, "Amatie 1 Amatie I I sprang down, but she is being burnt within; she is being burnt within.'" OKIGIN OF THE FIBE. Further inquiries as to the origin of the fire establish the fact that the people en trusted with the duties of firemen on the stage, ran from fright at the first blaze. Uno even tumbled headlong from the gallery to the stage-floor, and another, who had charge of the gaß, thinking that an explosion had occurred or would occur, turned off the gas at the meter, thus plung ing the theatre into total darkness, until it became illuminated with the blaze of the conflagration. A number of petroleum lamps that bad been placed in the theatre six months before by order of the police had not been lighted on this occasion, and probably had never been lighted after the first month of the order. Thero was a wire-gauze curtail ready to be let down in each wing in case of emergency, and it was supposed to be attended to by a special mechanic well drilled in his duties, Had this curtain been ; lowered, it is piobablo that every i person in the theatre would have escaped ; but either the attendant could not find the key to the apparatus box, or he was also seized with panic. At all events, he saved his own life at the ex pense of five or six hundred lives for whom Vienna is mourning to-day. Herr Foister,

who built this death-trap styled the Bing Theatre, says tbat had this curtain been lowered, the fire would not have extended beyond the stage. i i OFFICIAL EfcPORT. | ViErtNA, December 17th.—The i report ' on the Bing Theatre disaster save trie chief engineer asked two policemen at the main entrance of the theatre whether there was . anybody within, and received the reply that the whole audience had left safely. This was apparently confirmed by tho fact that no persons were ,seen at the entrances of the n building. Men of the fire, brigade subsequently made their way to the : galleries, but the air was suffocating, and it was lm« possible to penetrate the passages; aa the torches went out for want of oxygen, and ttie|,_remeu were unable to breath*. The report expresses the . conviction c tbftt the audience died speedily from suffocation.

SUPREME COURT.-Yesterday.

CHminal Sittings.

(Before Hi* Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

ALLEGED ATTE_i?T_I) INTIMIDATION.

We resume out report of trial of Frederick Plommer, alias G. F. Bailey, lor sending threatening letters to Mrs Ann Dobson, from the point to which it w»b carried in our last impression. Edward Moore, a boy of 10 years, residing with his parents in Newton, deposed that I one Saturday evening in August last, about 8,15 o'clock, while going'along.Karangahape Boad on an errand, with his sister, the prisoner met him and asked him If he would take a letter for him and brine him a parcel if he gave him a shilling. Witness replied that he would, and the prisoner then took him to Upper Qneen. street, and when op posite Mrs Dobson's house gavehim a letter, teld him to take it there and give it to Mrs Dobson and bring back a parcel, when he would meet him at the lamp-post opposite Mr U'Dowd's hotel. When he reached Mrs Dobson's he was invited in by a young lady (Miss Annie Dobson) who received the letter. He had once beforo that time seen the prisoner. To the prisoner : Detective Jeffrey came to Mrs Dobton, questioned me, and then sent me on to the lamp-post, but the person who gave me the letter was not thore then. I identified you at the Police Station when you were with two other men. Sergeant-Major Pardy gave evidence as to the prisoner's arrest, besides identifying a letter and some blotting paper which he had found there.

Constable Bernaid was examined to a similar effect, Joseph Williams identified a letter (pro duced) as one sent him by G. F. Bailey (the prisoner's assumed name), and J. D. Schmidt, an expert, identified this letter and the one Mrs Dobson had received, as having been written by the same person. : B. L. O'Brien, gaoler, also identified the letter, marked 1, sent to Mrs Dobson, as being in the prisoner's handwriting, but he would not swear positively to it. Robert Kay, chief clerk at tho poet office, was examined with respect to the posting and delivery of one of the letters. This was the caso for the prosecution. The prisoner then called Owen Mahon, who said that the prisoner might have been present at the practice of the choir of St, Francis de Sales Church, on the 28th of September last, but he did not lee him there.

Thomas McEwon wai alao called,|but did not give any material evidence, beyond identifying a letter which he had received from the prisoner. B. L. O'Brien also Identified it as one written by tbe prisoner. These were all the witnesses.

The prisoner then addressed the jury, laying stress upon the fact that while tbe Mines Dobson laid that the letter marked 3 was delivered by the boy Moore in Oct., the boy himself had poiitively sworn that he took enly one letter to that address, and that one in August, His Honor then summed up, pointing out that the receipt of the threateaing letter was not necessary to complete the offence; the sending was sufficient. The jury retired at 440 p.m. They returned at 5.35 with a verdict of " guilty.'' His Honor deferred judgment. The Crown Protecutor said that he would consent to a nolle prosequi being entered in rospect of the second count ol each indittment.

THIS DAY.

Frederick Plummer was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with having, on the -Ist November last, broke and entered the premises of Geo. Hazel, fruiterer, of Symonds-street, and stealing therefrom a sum of 10s end a pair of boot*. The prisoner pleaded "not guilty," and during the empanelling of the jury freely exercised the right of challenge, jurors who had tried the previous charges against him being particularly excluded. Tho evidence has been so recently pub lished at length that it will suffice on the present occasion to give a-synopiis of it. Goorge Hazel, greengrocer, of Upper Symonds-street, was the first witness. Ho deposed that on the night of the 21st November he retired to bed about 10.30 o'clock, and that on the following morning he missed his ihop till and 10s or 12s worth of coppers which it had contained on the previous evening. A pair of boots (produced and identified) were also miiaing. He per ceived that seme one had entered the pro mises by a window cpening on to the yard. Thcophliuß Butterworth Heath, boot and shoe maker, identified the hoots (produced) as a pair tbat had been made in his establishment for Mr Hazel. George Bellingham, a journeyman boot maker, employed by Mr Heath, swore that he had made'the boots (produced), but he could not recollect for wbcm, David Ha_ le, furniture dealer, deposed that on June 27 last,the prisoner made some purchases at his shop, and paid him with 6s Gd worth of coppers. Prior to buying anything the prisoner asked if he ceuld relieve him of 10s worth of coppers. 'Witness stated to the prisoner tbat he sup posed he was ia the milk trade, and he replied " Yes," meaning that he was, Sergeant-Major Pardy gave evidence as to the arrest of the prisoner on the 23rd November last,' at his house. Brown-street, Ponsonby, and as to finding there tbe boots (produoad) viz., those identified by Mr Heath, a dark lantern, and an uphol sterer's tack hammer, shaped at one end like a chiseL Detective Strathearn gave corroborative evidence. Constables Bernard aud Clark were also txamiaed, and with their evidence the case for the prosecution closed. Tho prisoner called Martin Danaher, who deposed tbat he was employed for some tine upon the Kaipara liae,and that being engaged frequently upon night shifts.a lan tern such as that produced by Sergk-Major Pardy would be very serviceable. B. L. O'Brien, gaoler, and Ralph Asher, a youth whose mother had kept a general store in the market, were also called, but nothing material was elicited from them. Tile prisoner then addressed the jnry.and afterwards His Honor briefly summed up. Plummer Sentenced to Text Tears. At . o'clock the jury returned into Court, finding the prisoner "guilty." He was *_en sentenced to seven years penal 'Servitude for each of the cases of send ng threatening letters, tho sentences to run concurrently, and three years ad ditional for the charge of housebreaking— making ten years in all, ALLEGED LIBEL, William Ripley, an elderly man, redding at Cambridge, was charged with having printed and published a libel upon a veteri nary surgeon named Victor Granville, the alleged libel consisting iv certain re marks tending to discredit testi mony given on oath by Mr Granville, and statements that he was a disgrace and a danger to theicommnnity in which he lived, Mr Tyler appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner admitted the writing and publication of the alleged libel. His Honor expressed his disapprobation of criminal proceedings for libel, except in extreme cases. In this case tbe libel was a greater disgrace to the man who penned, thantotheone against whomat was'directed. The person would be very weak indeed whom such a libel would lead to commit a breach of the peace. His Honor asked the prisoner ifj he would undertake to pay the costs that the prosecution had been put to. The prisoner gruffly replied that he had paid enough already and wonld pay no more. Upon being asked if he had anything to say in mitigation of sentence, tbe prisoner proceeded to read some irrelevant papers and refer to some conversations between himself and the prosecutor, in the course of which be repeated parts ofthe libel. Hia Honor cautioned him that if he went on in this way he would give him a sentence which would effectually deter

him from repeating such conduct. Sentence was then passed in the following terms 1 William Ripley—You have been found guilty upon your own Confession of unlawfully and maliciously ptt-liahing a libel. The libel is a very flrMB one, but at the same time a very silly one, and had your demeanour been such as to make mfl think thai you regretted your action, I should not have thought it necessary to have punished you to any great extent. It Is quite manifest, however, that you are prepered tb repeat the libellous conduct,. and to maintain in the face of the Court that you are justified in doing such a thing. You must, therefore, be made to learn thai you cannot repeat sUoh conduct with im punity. The sentence of the Court Is that you be fined in the sum of £50, and that you remain in prison till it is paid; ANOTHER LIBEL CAS-. James Barry Simpson, schoolteacher, of Awadui, was Charged with having made and published to the Chief Postmaster certain false and defamatory libels concern ing James Wort Reid, postmaster at Awanui, the said libels consisting in allega tions that Reid had been in tbe habit of opening and reading letters before sending them on to their destination j that he was a liar and slanderer, and that he had endea voured to stir up ill-will amongst the natives towards the European^; The prisoner pleaded guilty td both charges, and at the same time professed his willingness to offer Reid an apology. Mr MaCCormick appeared for the prose cution. He said that his client had been compelled tn take the present proceedings In consequence of having been called upon by the Chief Postmaster to clear himself of tne chaTges preferred against him. His Honor pointed out that the prisoner had agreed on the 16th of Dee. to make an apology, which he had previously been asked and had refused to sign, and that, therefore, the matter should not have gone further. That wa* in respect of the first charge. The prisoner then signified his with drawal of the imputations made against the character of the prosecutor, and tendered a verbal apology to him. The prisoner was ordered to be imprisoned until the rising of the Court, and ;to pay a fine of a guinea onjeach of the two Charges. (Left sitting,)
