Treasury Department rs . mere machine
to raise the bonds far above par. while
their own notes. hased on them. were
kept enormously deprecated. And now
the scene changes. The bonds at IS
cents. gold. have present market value
OF CLOS gold. or about 125 in currency.
The bankers, therefore. are gathering in

The Brooklyn calamity was the subject OF
by the Health OF this city yesterday
President Chandler. Commissioner Janeway and Gen.
smith President OF the Police Board, present and
exnresed themselves as convinced that Immediate
aetion should be taken in reference TO the faeil-
ties for rapid exit from the New-York theaters IN

the Mayor Fire Commissioners, and superintendent Oh
Buildings be requested meet with the Board OF Health
on Dec H. to consider what measures will most speedily
and effectively secure the safety OF visitors at theaers
and other places OF amusement
Gen Smith claimed that the Department OF Buildings
alone was vested with the responsibility OF compelling
the OF theaters provide sufficient means OF
egress and offered resolution which was adopted that
President Chandler's resolutions be submitted to tAe
counsel Of the board report Dec IL as TO the 10
sponsibllity OF the Health Board in the matter
In conversation with reporter of THE TRIBUNE, Gen
Smith stated that had supposed that the Board OF 20
lice and the Board of Health had authority TO compel
the theater managers provide places OF entrance
and exit, and also prevent the practice OF placing
seats In the ases lie found however that the DeparF
ment of Buildings alone had jurisdiction in the matter
ana that the powers of the department were limited 70
giving notice TO theater managers that their places VI
amusement were not suitably provided with means Oh
egress aud forbdding them to place distractions IN hc

warned, continued to seat spectators in the

pleaded TO be allowed to return aud evidently would
have endeavored go back the theater where she
thought one OF her friends still was. SO determined
was she that finally they obliged to raise her
in their arms and carry her away. On the oIpO-
