that he believed that Tiden was honestly
elected president of the United States, and
that If he was borne out in his convictions
be would under no considerations accept
the office if delared elected.
The conversation was brought on by a
remark of Mrs Gen. Mitchell, niece OF
Coy. Hayes, who said to the governor that
she hoped her husband, Gen, Mitchell
would be successful in his present mission
to Washington, and bring about settle,
ment OF the question which was proving
such source of trouble, both to the gov
ernor and his family, and to the country al
large.
To this the governor replied as above
saying that he believed Tiden was honestl;
elected president. and that under this con
viction he should positively decline Il
accept if declared elected.
/ Mr.. Merrick not only reafhrmed th,
truth of the statement, but offered to mak,
affidavit to the facts contained therin

Lost.

New YORK, Dec. 5,-The Brooklyn
theatre was burned to the ground to night
The fire originated on the stage at 1880
through the last act Of the Two Orphans. "
The fire spread with lightning rapidity
through the theatre. The panic and con-
fusion among the audience was terrible.
A number must be badly injured, and
some probably killed.
The theatre was owned by Kingsley,
Keeney and others, and was rented tc
Shook & Palmer, of the Union Square
Theatre, New York. The loss on the
theatre is about $250,000
All the company got out safely, except

would bring severe punishment upon its
authors, and which must be punished if
our liberty was to be preserved; that he
voted for Hayes electors. but it appeared
