CROOK says not a single Apache is on the warpath in Sonora, and he doubts if there is even a single living one of the tribe in that State or Chihuahua. The Gen­ eral believes that the captured Apaches and those who will come in should be allowed to return to the San Carlos reservation. A re­ fusal to do so on the part of the Govern­ ment will prove a fatal mistake, as they will at once return to the warpath, leaving the squaws, children and old men behind.

At a landing where there was a door through which only one person could pass at a time, a crush occurred, and, a child falling, others fell upon it, those behind trampling madly upon them. Before order could be restored! 18ti, ranging from 4 to 14 years of age, had been trampled to death.

Bright answered that he ought to have been more careful, but maintained that the action of the Irish and Conserva­ tives to ham; er, irritate and destroy the Ministry was an innovation. Bright was willing to withdraw and apologize for the word rebel, as applied to the Irish if the members would disavow connection with plotters in America. Thomas Power O'Con­ nor referred to Bright's "vain old age," whi' h drew protests from the House, and Gladstone thought Bright's explanation was satisfactory, and that be had not been guilty of a breach of privilege.

Another dash of the steers carried them to Maggie Carney, aged 8 years, on her way home from a Stewart avenue store with a pail of milk and a loaf of bread in her hands. The child stopped, transfixed with terror, and the steers cruelly trampled on her, inflicting fatal injuries. The little one was taken up tenderly, still grasping the milk-pail, and borne to her home on Maxwell street, where she died shortly afterward. One of the ani­ mals was slain by a street-oar driver, but the others escaped. In the vicinity of Morgan and Maxwell streets another steet was captured and his head beaten .to a jelly with stones and cluba At the corner of Halsted and Meager streets Signal Sergeant Fox met four of the stags, and, after a desperate fight; killed t|em, es­ caping with nothing more serious i than a bruised hand One maddened creature tumped into the river at the intersection of Fifteenth street, and was captured by the crew of the outward-bound schooner 'Win­ nie Wing. The boat was hurried up-stream, and the sailors will have plenty of fresh meat on their voyage. At the corner of Blue Island ana Center avenues a steer weighing 1,200 pounds was killed by a laborer with a crowbar. Scarcely had the brute fallen when a remarkable scene ensued. Twenty or thirty men and women crowded around and began to fight for the carcass. It was skinned In patches, and while the body was yet quivering the meat was cut off in hunks and chunks and carried off amid triumphant shouts and laughter. In less than fifteen minutes after the crowbar struck the animal, nothing but the skeleton and entrails remained, and an old woman returned and secured the heart and liver. The sight was liitleless than dis- Slisting, and the semi-cannibals wer^shock-ig in their blood-begrimmed faces and clothing. Mis. Gorman of 88 Brown street, narrowly escaped a terrible death. One of the steers entered her garden aud she started to drive it out, thinking it was a vagr mt cow. The animal lowered its horns and was within six feet of the terrified woman, when Officer La Plant rushed up and planted a bullet in the creature's brain. Mrs. Gorman fainted and was carried into her honse suffering from a ncr. ous shock. Of the 110 steers in the herd when it broke, forty three were killed or lost, and the remainder secured after anight of hunt­ ing by the stock yard men. One ingenious fellow wns determined to catch his game alive, and actually succeeded in securing a steer with a rope and tying it fast to the dock at Mason slip, in the south fork. Lib- by.

Franklin county; Treasurer of State, Peter Brady, Sandusky county; School Commissioner, Leror D. Brown, of Butler county; Member of the Board of Public Works,. John P. Martin, of Greene county. The convention broke up amid much confusion, at 1:15 in the morning after adopting the following platform: The Democracy of Ohio, in lonvention as­ sembled, hereby reaffirm the principles of the party, as expressed in the primaries and State and national platforms, in regard to personal liberty, the true functions of government, and as embraced in the political creed expounded by the great founder of the Democratic party- Thomas Jefferson. The application of these principles to onr present condition demands the purification of tae publie service, the punish­ ment of the robbers of the public treasury, the equalization of all public burdens, the arrest of the profligacy and extravagance that corrupt the administration of publie affairs, and a total change in the policy that h^s so long bsen pur­ sued by the Republican party--favoring indi­ vidual and class interest at the expense of the laboring and wealth-producing people of the roimtry; and we reaffirm our previous declara­ tions for stable money, the gradual extinction of the public debt, and the payment of pensions to disabled soldiers, their widows and orphans. 2. We favor a tariff for revenue limited to the necessities of government, economically admin­ istered, and so adjusted in its application as to prevent unequal burdens, encourage productive industries at home, aitord just compensation to labor, but not to create or foster monopolies. 3. The act of the Republican Congress re­ ducing the tariff on wool, while at the same time Increasing it on woolen goods, already hipMy protected, was iniquitous legislation, discrim­ inating in favor of monopoly and against the agricultural interests ot the country, and ought to be oorrected; and we heartily approve the action of the Democratic members of the Ohio delegation in Congtess In voting against that in­ crease. 4. The Democratic party is, as it always has been, opposed to sumptuary legislation and un­ equal taxation in any form, and is in favor of the largest liberty ot private conduot consistent with the pnbllc welfare and the rights of others, and of regulating the liquor traffic and provid­ ing against the evils resulting therefrom by a judicious and properly-gradedlicense system. 6. The abuses of the present contract system in our State penitentiary, by whloh the products of the labor of convicts are brought in competi­ tion with the products of honest labor, to the great detriment of the latter, are injurious and unwise, and ought to be corrected, and the promise,'! of the Republican party to abolish this system are shown to be false and hypocritical by its failure to do HO while it has the power. 6. The pmte tion of the Government is due to all American citizens, native and foreign born, abroad as well as at home. v 7. We reaffirm the resolutions of the State Conventions of Ohio in 1880, I8f!l, and 1882, and of the Democratic National Conventions of 1872, 187(5, and 1x80, demanding a thorough reform and purification of the civil service, and charge that the Republican party has violated every pledge it has heretofore given for the reform thereof, and has failed during its long adminis­ tration of the Government to correct even the most crying abuses; and we demand, therefore, a change in the executive administration of the Government itself asthe reform first of all neo- essary (as made still more manifest by the re­ cent star-route trials), thereby ousting corrupt rings, confederated to protect crime and prevent the punishment of criminals, and by so doing to make it possible again to punish fraud and theft in the public service. 0 CYCLONE. A Section of Missouri Visited by a Ter­ rific Storm. A dispatch from Kansas City says: 14#- lngston and Caldwell counties, Ma, were visited by a disastrous rain and wind storm in the afternoon, 19th Inst, the storm coming from the southwest Large buildings were destroyed and several persons killed and drowned in the neighborhood of Kidder. The rain was preceded by a cyclone, which made a path :.00 feet wide, tearing every­ thing in its way, and three miles soutiiwe'st of the town it' demolished the house of W. Thompson, G. Tracy and C. N. Johnson. Mr. Tracy was badly injured by Hying timbers, and will die. All outbuildings were also blown down and carried away, and the crops in Caldwell county were damaged to the amount of many thousands of dol­ lars. In Livingston county the cen" er of the storm seemed to be near "Chilicothe, on the line of the Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad, al­ though in the southern portion of the county a large amount of damage resulted. At Chiilicothe a farmer reported that three men were killed and at least fifteen more or less wounded Many farm-houses were un­ roofed and driven across the country and the fruit and corn crops were seriously in­ jured. The southern poit'.on of Livingston county is sparsely pestled, and the reports are, every way unsatisfactory, it being im­ possible to ascertain the exact situation. The terrible rain-storms of the past week have so completely cut oif communication throughout Western Missouri that it will take at least twenty-four hours to know the ac­ curate losses of life and property.

An entertainment had been given at Victoria Hall by a conjures. There waa' an audience of several thousand, consisting % a1 almost wholly of youngsters. After the-, performance, and when the body of the hall •' 4 had been cleared, about 1,300 children carnal" V rushing down from the gallery. The door * at the top of the first flight of stairs opened ̂ only twenty inches--merely enough to allow' 1 i one person to pass at a time While the < ' little ones were hurrying ont one lost hia>^ -• footing, fell, and was unable to rtee. Thosa * following were tripped. Then the children dashed forward peli-mea Those in front#; were being suffocated and trampled upon: v those in the rear became frenzied, and; , puahed forward with the energy of despair. V: The scene was appalling. Ail efforts to . - stay the mad rash ware fruitless. Many of ^ "I**™? had their clothing torn from ' " v their bodiei The ages of the children X ranged from 4 to 14 yeara They lay seven i 7,', or eight deep on the stairway. Tae number f \ . of injured is estimated at 260. The excitement in the town was intense. 'J, Great Crowds rushed to the scene, until ^0,- 1 000persons surrounded the halL The author- . ities ordered out the fifty-eighth Infantry to preserve order. The work of removing the i bodies began immediately. As soon as the little unangled forms were taken from the great heap they were laid ont In the The parents or the victims were then ad- * mitted to identify the rema ns. Mothers ut­ tered pirceing cnrleks, and many fainted on discovering the bodies of their little ones. The janitor says the scene behind the gal- ^ lery door was feart'uL Some children were fixed upright in a heap, and were actually • gasping for breath, so great was the press­ ure of the crowd behind When the disaster occurred the janitor and several others were hastily summoned The bystanders went to work immediately to give relief to the suf­ ferers. They first sent out of the building the little ones still in the hall, thus averting ' a further crush. Those who went to the rescue found the work of removing the heap of bruised, crushed and suffocated bodies no easy task, and dtO children practi­ cally uninjured were rescued from the pile. Many others were found unconscious, some of whom were restored. An eye-witness says he saw lying on tho flag-stones^ a short distance from the bot­ tom of the stairs, the dead bodies of seven children. Many of those who came to as­ sise in removing the dead and rescuing the * living were utterly overcome by the dis- • tressmg sight of so many dead and dying children. The rescuers' effort< were directed toward reaching those who were apparently alive. " So tightly were the victims jammed together that It was regarded as dangerous to drag them out of the helpless mass, lest tlie effort would result in pulling off the limbs of liv­ ing children, as well as of the mutilated dead They therefore proceeded s'eadily and systematically to lift oil'the topmost A few of those beneath had survived and tneir ' « moaning and low cries of pa n could be dis­ tinctly heard, and mlnglea with the cr.e< of ;; bereaved parents ana friends, who were thronging adjacent streeta Mr. Fay, who gave the entertainment, was busy packing up his apparatus to de­ part when a man rushed up to him and in­ formed him of the disaster.

Recognising one of his ohlldren the father. W „ „ pointing with his finger, exclaimed: '•'J hat's • » 1 one."

A passer-by inquired the ' ; cause of his grief. "Why, sir," said he, "I 4 was in the place there, and when I waa coming out a boy that was dving bit my ̂ hands, and thafs him," he added, pointing to the corpse of a child lying near. 1 The scene inside the hall during the identification of the victims battles descrip- j tion, as the faces of the dead were black and | swollen from suffocation, of which many died Many lips were cracked and bleeding, and parents, rushing wildly about, would fail upon the bodies ot their children and with loud wailing and weeping, clasp the uncon- J scious forms in their arms, vainly endeavor- I ing to note any sign of life. Many poor mothers swooned away, while others were wild and almost violent in their hysterical grief -I The removal of the dead to-day occasioned ^ renewed lamentation and confusion. Many i parents rushed through the police cordon, ' | and caused a wild confusion. The weather , ^, J was warm, and the passageway very close, ' ^ so that a short time after the terrible . catastrophe a horribly sickening stench came nrom the main outlet One Sunday-school loses thirty scholars by j the catastrophe. Many of the survivors had their arms iroken in the crush. Others are suffering from broken ribs or the rupture of internal organs. The hall-keeper says the children not twenty yards from the door came pressing forward, unaware of the * tragedy, thus making matters ten times worce than they really were. The staircase from the gallery was a wind­ ing one. Both the audience and the officials were in the hall at the time ot the disaster, and were unaware, for some time, of the ter­ rible tragedy baiDg enacted at the door. They were not informed until Graham, the ball-keeper, who was strolling near by the scene of the calamity, was attracted by pite­ ous groans, and then gave the alarm. The eagerness of the children to depart from the nail was caused bv their desire to receive the prizes promised them. Graham throws the blame of the calamity upon the man connected with the entertainment, who it appears fastened the door half open. In order that the prizes might be given to the children one at a time while leaving. Queen Victoria tent a tele/ram to the May­ or of Sunderland esq reusing her grief at the disaster.
