COMMUNICATED.


The discussion about the safety Of public
halls in the various cities, brings wildly to
mind the alarm, at Sarepta Hail. in this city,
last week, which nearly became a panic that
might have produced most lamcntable results,
and caused the newspapers throughout the
country next morning to have had some such a
paragraph as this
lNoS Horrible Catastrophe at Alexandria. w.
Upoonnls Of one Hundred Persons Killed a~a
Manned!
Owing 70 an accident with the calcium lights
the audience at a tablcau exhibition at Sarepta
Hall, Alexandria, Va, last night, became panic
stricken and rushed down long flight OF stairs
to the entrance passage, which was soon block
ed owing to the lr,ut doors (arrangeI to open
in,rnrl) being closed by the first rush, thus
cutting off from egress large portion OF the
audience, mostly women and chlldren. Some
fa;n,ing and tslliog to the floor, caused others
to stumble and fall aud be trodden under foot,
and there either killed or manned. The mum
Der and namcs Of victims net yet ascertaned,
but supposed to be oyer one hundred.
But tor the prompt interpositlon of lew
gentlemen, with their assurances that the dan
ger was over, the lnclplent panic that night at
Sarrpta hail would soop have grown to an ex-
tent that might have given cause tor such
naraeraph as the above, aud this day many
families of our community been lameuting the

some dear one.

During the examination quite an excited al
tercation arose between the members of the
committee and the witness, Mr.. Sparks having
said that he believed Judge Trumbull wou Id
designate the witness story as stuff, and Captain
Ditty replying with some show of anger that If
the chairman meant to insinuate that his wit
