A London oableiav : The London Daily Ntiei ourreipondnl at hnakim telegraph! to day that the foil magnitode of tbe famine that for tightem montba hit ravaged the Hoadan can never bn known. It 11 only wbere Eoropt am have been present that acme detailed information hn reached the ODtiide world ai to tha terrible condition ol tbe people. The extent of tbe affected region in very great, in fact, traatworthy native accounts indicate that tbere ii not a town or diitriot from the bordere of Kxypt proper to Bennaar, in the math from Dtr- foor, in the weat through Kordofan to the Nile proviuoei and eaat to tbe sea, that hai not been daring th past year acd a hll more tban decimated by starvation Not only thti inhabitant! of the plains have uf fered, but the iniui-ry has alto rrached tbe mouutaioeeri from tbe beui Amur country to Abyaainia. The chief oauae* of the famine are de ichbed to be : Firtt, tbe insecurity ol property, tbe native! being on thia account afraid to place loo much ground ander cultivation ; teoond, tbe partial destruction by drouth of the crop* of Ixi'.t. tbe supply of grain b*in very deficient ; and third the total failure of Ibe winter crops of 1889- 90, the loonita having deitroyed nearly every green thing. The cotton crop ol Tokar and Duroor wai alao destroyed. The mbabitanti of tbe country bad to rely on tbe coast porti for lappliea, which wire released by thi K*>y ptun Government with a ipare hand, caoiinij unneoemary lofferiog to thousands of people. The oldest native inhabitant never aaw tbe looaiti so thick at they have been this year. The ooantry waa viiited eight limei by Ihe vait olonai of these rapaoioai in sects. Tbe viotimi of the famine are so numeroni that it is cot an exaggeration to lay that some iub-iribei of tha Baden dowai and Amaram baveoeaaad to ixiit. Tbe awfol experience of tbe people bai not, however, leitened tbeir determination to maintain tneir freedom. The greatest anfferers among tbe tribei men have been tbe familiei of those who in 1884 and 1885 arrayed thtmielves in battle agamit tbe Knglinb, Colonial, and Indian forcei, and whone bonca are mil bleaching on the plaint, in silent proteit against Ihe Kngliih attempt to plat:e the people again under Egyptian role. Now many widowi and children lie unburied beside these breadwinners, starvation having found them easy victims. In some places in tbe Hoadan lliu poorer claases were forced to eat cats, doxs, rats and liurds, all vege table food having disappeared. There have also been many undoubted oaaea of oanni balism, freshly interred oodiei of the dead having been exhumed to satiify Ihe cravings of hanger. Here and tbere a whole villave is found deserted with skeletons of the dead remaining in tome of th? houses. Tbe wealthy fared hardly better than the poor, at richer could not procure food that did not exiil. To add to the terrors of the situation smallpox broke out and spread over nearly the entire famine diitriot. For the pant two monlhi there hai been inme improve- ment, and by the spring the people, will probably have regained their normal con- dition, oat they will not forget that tbe Britiih and Egyptian authorities, by closing the gati c,f Hnakim against them, art responsible for miioh of loeir terrible offering.

'Ibe audience had left tbe Fifth Avenue Theatre at 11 20, ami Harry C. Miner w* the last man in Ihe building. He told some members o( tba onhditra that be had a forebodii u that aometning wai going to happen, and he walked all around the interior of the building to see that every Ibing waa right. He even ipoke of tbe possibility uf tbe theatre gelling on fire. Although Mr. Miner satisfied himself mat tbere was net much danger of fire, tbe flames were discovered at 11.45. They spread quickly, and now (1S.45) tbere is a probability of several other buildings being burnt. Tbe rear of the bouses on Broad way will be burnt, and it looks as if Her man'i theatre will be deitroyed. Il U not yet known whether any persons were injured by the collapse of the roof. '1 be Gilsey bouse is also threatened. Six dis- tinct explosions have been beard from the interior of the sporting goods house ol powder held there in some form in the stock. This warned the big crowd back out of danger's way. Tha firemen are working like beavers, while a urong breeze fani into fury the destroying flames. At lention is now being mainly turned towards saving surrounding buildings. At 1 o'clock the wind veered from north to east, and tbe top story of the Slnrtevanl boose caught fire. The firemen elevated tbeir ladders, and climbing up smashed tbe window! and shouted lo tbe guests. Nearly all of Ihe gnesti, however, bad taken flight, and Ihi excitement wai intense. A good part of the Btnrtevant will be destroyed. The iparks were blown as far ai Third avenue. Broadway, in tbe vicinity of the fire, ii lined will! poliotmen, driving back the crowds. It is the Gilsey building, not Gilley house, tbat ii threatened al tbii hoar (1 a. m.) Tbe from wall of tbii building u expected to fall at any moment.

In this locality reside Hogb Stewart, his wife and family of nine, in a little upstairs flat, tbe kitchen of which answers almost every requirement. Tbe family, eleven of them, were strewn about in every direction ; temperature, "SO in the shade " It was a jolly family gathering, however, and the more so because four of them had recently gone through Ihe experience of poisoning and recovered. Ou Friday night last a veiled woman gave one of tba boys a pack age of candy. This waa taken into Ihe house and immediately opened, th mother, the eldest daughter, a small girl and a smaller boy partaking sparingly of ihs contents. In a moment tbe four were violently ill, and only by the free use of emetics were tbeir ly items cleared of the poisononi mixture. The eldest girl's ill nets, the lymptomi of which were di/.z neu, fainlnesi and naoiea, was more rlous than that of the others, bat she finally recovered.

Tragedy in a <Jlt Hungarian aHalac Town la Pennsylvaala* A Wilkesbarre despatch sayi : Tbs min- ing bamlsl known ai Brodehck's Paleb. liz miles from bere, wai thrown into excitement to-day over a terrible tragedy, which resulted in the death of three per- sons by gun-shot wounds. The faets appear to be as follows : John Tirello. a Hungarian, who had been in the hamlet for a few dayi, entered tbe saloon of Michael Corley, and in tbe presence of tbe letter's 5-year-old daogbter, Mamie, who wai holding an infant, shot Mrs. Curley who wai working at the waib-tob in the front part of tbe bar-room, and then ibot Curley, who bad just oome down stairs. Tirello next shot Michael Hadok, a Hungarian, who died instantly, and then laying the revolver upon tbe prostntform of Corley decamped for parts unknown He bai been tracked as far as Ihe Hone bridge at Wyoming, three miles away. The shot entered Mrs. Cnrley'i head from Ihe back, and the died icstantly. Cnrley wtn hoi through Ihs forehead, snd lived two hours. There were apparently only ive persons in ths room at the lima of the shooting. Tbe cause of the shooting is not explained. C'arley's child is too young to mats an intelligible statement. The theory that Tirello did tbe shooting ii tbe most reasonable, but there are a few penoni who think Cnrlsv ibot Hodok in an altercation, and Tirello, who was impli- cated, did the rest of ths ibooting. *be former theory is probably correct.
