Southern states voting for Hayes are in
correct. and proposes to Investigate"
From the angry aud unreasonable ae-
tons shown BY the majority. during the
past week. very stormy aud dangerous
times seem to be at hand in the House
Every attempt on the part Of the Repub-
lican members Of the House to have \
voice in matters relating to elections. is
frowned down. Even the admission Of
members OF congress from Colorado and
some Of the southern States. who have
proper certificates. is refused.
The Presidents message was received
and read. The message is somewhat
longer than usual. aud considerable
space is devoted to a review Of the Pres
idents actions during the last eight
years. Il seems more like 4 valedietory
than anything else. and is more full Of
facts in relation to existing matters per-
tanning to the government. than sugges-
tons in regard to the future. A subse-
quent message. relating to the Southern
elections. was sent in BY the President
but the Democrats treated il with se0rn.

BURNING OF A THEATRE AND
THE LOSS OF 300 LIVES.

A Ere broke cut 90 tuesday night in
the Brooklyn theatre at Brooklyn y. Y.
which caused the complete distraction
Of the building aud probably more than
three hundred lives. The ere Originat-
ed on or above she stage and the scenery
took FIRE at once. and burned With such
rapidity that several Of the actors per-
ishsd in the flames. The orchestra are
reported as all lost. As is usual IN
like cases the alarm caused such = rush
for the doors that they were completely
blocked up. and many we're trsupled to
/ death and smothered in their frantic
attempts to get out The flames spread
so rapidly that in FIVE minutes all Of
those who had no. escaped we're burned
to death or smothered. Most Of the
victims we're found in the cellar. where
they had fallen from the vestibule and
the spaces about the doors. Murdoch
the noted actor persisted. having beer
overtaken by the FIRE in his nom nea
the stage All Brooklyn Is in mOurnin.
and the whole country IS appalled, a
terrible calamity. 1t Is the sane stOr,
repeated: The small passage and doc
ways we're entirely blocked up BY ii
crowd rushing frantically to eseap
from The horrid death Of burning.
