Mr.. VIM. c. Kingsley, one of the prin-
cipal stockholders, was in the auditorium
on the evening of the fire with his fami-
ly. When the panic began he was sepa-
rated from them. and for time was un.
able to fpd any trace of them, but when
his anxiety was at the highest be learned
that they had all escaped and arrived
home in safety. All those who were pre-
sent testify to scenes of the widest ex-
element and terror. "Run-run for your
lives" cried one excited individual in
the insanity Of the moment. 80 God /

GOVERNORS ADDRESS

Gentlemen o. the Senate and House OF
Representatives.;
The year upon which we are entering

American. Il marks the completion OF

century has passed away and the govern.

and hopes that attended its birth, and still
to guard for Us and for the future the
blessings II was formed 10 secure. 4
hundred years ago il existed but in the
solemn declaration and the tirm resolve
OF the men who fashioned il, as an insiru.
meut OF justice. To day il lives in mature
development, fresh in all the aims end
impulses with which il set out, strong in
a self confidence inspired By long J ears
OF varied trial and the successful with
standing OF al forms OF assault.
Ghe Tar stretching retrospect excites
emotions OF pride and exultation, and
yields impressive lessons for our guidance
as people in the new century at hand.
We perceive by what devotion TO princi.
pie and by what great civic virtues the
fathers OF the republic were enabled to
establish the sure foundations OF our
country; by what steadiastness and hero.
ism lis Independence was accomplished !;
and by what majestic progress it grew TO
greatness under the stimulus Of freedom
Regarding the ears not yet tar removed
from Us, the great struggle through W hich
the crisis OF the counlry's fate had happy
issue, presents itself as a stern school OF
citizenship ministering to the stability and
prosperity OF The new nation. Ii brings
the mutual dependence OF government
and people home TO every msn with a
strength Of conviction no reasonings
could convey.

value was put to the test. measures our

The Secretdr,,ship.

To many Republicans The nomination
for Secretary OF State was a surprise aud

did not seek the sppointmtnt,and II is well
known that he accepted it with much
reluctance, and in compliance with the
request OF leading Republicans IN nearly
every County in the State, urging that the
public interest and that OF the Republican
party would be subserved by bis accept
ancs. The appointment by Gov. Dingley
was received with great satisfaction
throughout the State.
II appears to be understood that the
question was determined by other issues,
entirely outside OF the Secretaryship itself
or the merits of candidates. We regret
the result, not on Mr.. Perhsm's account,
as the place could not have been OF any
special consequence to him personally,
but on account Of other important inter-
ests that are paramount to any personal
consideration.
In saying this, We cast no reflections
upon the successful candidate, OF whom
We have uttered no dsipalaging word,
and who will. we presume. make an
acceptable public officer.
