1t may be a singular remark to make con-

more than any other he has occupied during

incident of his past life, and while the whole
people are panied, shocked or disguised with
It's recital, the criminal takes exquisite pleas

is loathed by the public and has been already
condemned to the gallows by the popular
verdict is a matter of trivial moment with
him. 1t is enough for him to know that the

quality of his mental makeup am. takes cosni-
zance only of the fact that his name is upon
every tongue. While, this may not prove
the man to be crazy and irresponsible for the
deed he committed, it clearly shows that his
mind is unbalanced, or as one expressed it,
.badly arranged"
During the progress of his trial he has not
exhibited the least appearance of being i'm
pressed with the seriousness Of his situation,
or manifested in the remotest degree any
symptoms Of contrition for his dastardly acs

The Cholera and Plague,

NEW 1oEK, Nov. 2J.-Dr. James, Of tie
Board OF Health, says the cholera and plague
are reported ragiEg in parts of the old world.
lie says. 81 do not think there is any reason
to fear any outbreak here. The National
Board of Health has known for some time
that the cholera was raging in many parts of
Europe and Asia and made arrangements
with the health authorities of other nations
to prevent its spread. What they will do with
this other disease, the bubonic plague, which,
L judge, resembles the black death of the
middle agst, do not knew, but they will act
promptly, as they have heretofore, as soon as
the nature of shis plague is more definitely
known" ..-

DORSEY'S

A dispatch from Washington says there ar
rived at that city recently a gentleman whoi is
taking great interest in the Star route prose
cution. His name is Jennings. and he comes
hire to tell a little story which is without
doubt a counterpart. of what hundreds Of other
sub contractors could tell were they SO dis
posed. Among Dorsey's routes in Montana
was one about two hundred miles in length.
The schedule allowed 81 hours for the trip
aud required three trips per week. The pay
route to Jennings for $4,000, and pocketed
$4,000 per yesr clear cash. Dorsey two years
since went to work and had the route expe-
ditcd from "a TO go hours, and the pay conse-
quently raised to $35 5000. He rocketed the
$3.50 0 additional pay and told Jennings that
he had better make his trip in 90 hours. He
attempted to do his WORK in 90 hours, but
failed frequently, owing to the Insufficient
equipment. As a last result, fines were in
ficted, and last year Jennings fines exceeded
his pay as \ ,ub-cOntractor 81 900. This pro-
ceeding naturally made Jsnnings' contract
Improbable, and he was obliged to throw it
up. The government is thoroughly ~investi-
eating, and it is thought Jennings fines will
be RENTED eventually. Yes, the government,
under the immediate supervision Of Aesars.
NacVeagh and Corkhill, has been inVsstigst-
ing these Star route frauds and with what re-
suits the world knows. Mr.. Dorsey still
holds hi, position az Secretary of the Replb-
licsn National COMMITTEES.

1t has been held by his enemies that Ex-
Senator Ccnklipg's political influence in
New York was destroyed by his act of re-
signing his seat in the United States Senate,
and that his course was not endorsed by the
republicans Of his own county. The returns
Of the late elections from his home do net
seem to warrant the assumption. Carr, the
stalwart candidate tor Secretary Of State, re-
ceived a majority of nearly 600 there, while
Hustled the halfbreed candidate for Treasur-
er was beaten by Maxwell the Democratic
nominee by about 400 votes, and in The State
by over 10000. These figures show that Mr..
ConAling is a power in New York and that
when he sits down upon a political enemy he
brushes him beyond hope of recovery.

A Panic in a Theatre.

New YORK, Nov. 24--The performance
in the London tleatel tonight was inter-
ruptsd by IN alarm Of fire caused by the es-
Gaping Of steam from = broken pipe. A panic
ensued and several persons were injured dur
ing the rnsh % ards the avenues of escape.
On the main floor of the theatre and galleries
the occupants sprang from their seats aud
rushed to the aisles, leaving hats, coats and
shawls. Women shri eked for help and men
attempted to'walk on the heads and backs of
the dense threng in their eagerness to escape.
Thomas Donaldson, the manager. seeing the
danger, jumped on the stage and stated that
there was no danger, hut his voice was scarce
~ heard a dozen feet. His words were taken
up by others and repeated. Edward Pete RS,
the engineer, fought his way to the gal
lery aud turnet off the steam, after
which the excitement subsidized and there wsa
4 general scrambling for seats when the per-
Torrance was resumed. TIE tiremen and
police had been called cut and were needed
to keep back tie crowd of nearly 1000 Der
sons who were clamOring for readmittance
Many Of the seats and chairs in the theatre
are broken. The following is a partial list
If the injured:
Joseph Flage, MeCabe and Richard Nc
Caithy. The door went down before the
rush crushing a mass Of people and sevsrAl in
the first lines following, these were tramplsd
upon and severity injured. Others injured
were Robert Phillips, Edward Peters, Enei-
neer; &. W. Skinner, Morris Spring and
Chas. Parker.
Skinner was hurt by an actor jumping up
on lin from the stage and the engineer was
knocked down while turning off steam and
