THE VIENNA HORROR.

VIENNA, Dec. 9, morning au-
dience at the theater last night was
larger than usual, owing to the fact
that day was a holiday. There were
about two hundred persons on the stage
and in the adjoining dressing room at
the time of the outbreak of the fire. The
Ballet Corps were mostly only half
drCssed. On the extinction of the
lights all rushed for the stage door, ard
many were knocked down and trampIed
upon, but most of them reached the
street without serious injury. The
galleries were crowded, and the pit was
fairly filled, but, owing to the lateness
of the hour, there were only few per
sons in the stalls and boxes. In the
panic persons responsible for the safety
of the theatre neglected to use the
means for telegraphing to the fire engine
stations, which they had at their dis
posal. The audience were consequently
left for ten minutes struggling wildly
in the darkness for means of exit The
life saving brigade then arrived with
ladders, torches aud jumping sheets.
Persons saved with the aid of sheets
jumped from the windows by dozens At
a time. Ia al hour and half the whole !
building was roaring furnace. The |
The persons whose bodies were first |
recovered seem to have died mostly |
from suffocation, but the other bodies
or sent shocking spectacle, many
having heads and feet burned off.
VIENNA, Dec. 10 Evening. -The
building is still on fire tonight. The
funeral of the victims is fixed for Sun
day. The Imperial family have contri-
buted largely to the relief fund, The
managers of all the the&,ers have an
nounced special performances for The
benefit Of the sufferers.
The number of persons actually re-
ported to be missing is 609.
In regard to the origin of the fire
the superintendent of machinery states
that tue scenery became ignited as the
lamps were lit by the electric current.
LONDON, Dec 10,-I'he Standards
Vienna dispatch says all the performers
except three of the chorus were saved.
Baron R0thschild has subscribed 49,
300 forms to the relief fund.
Among the missing arc three prOfes
sors and member of Parliament.

A fire broke out in the machinery
department of the penitentiary at
Nashville on Monday afternoon of
last week, which was the cause of
great loss to the State and to the
lessees, Messrs. Cherry, O'Connor &
Co, but with no loss of life, and with
the escapade ofonly six out of seven
hundred and twenty eight prison
ers. The loss of the State on build
ings is set down at $50, 900, with no
that of Cherry, O'Connor
& Co. on machinery and wares is
$3.50, 900, with s96,5O insurance.
Many of the convicts worked hard
to save as much of the property as
possible, and but few made any at
tempt to escape. The fire was
caused by a convict throwing
piece of hot iron into a tub filled
with pitch. Workmen have already
tearing away the debris,
to the erection of a
building to be used until the cree
lion of a new penitentiary.

In speaking of Blaine's resigna-

late Washington special: Speaking
of the statement telegraphed to the
effect that Secretary Blaine's resig-
nation had been accepted, and that
Frelinghuysen's name would go in,
President Arthur said that BIaine's
resignation had not been accepted.

Last Wednesday as soon as the
court was formally opened Guiteau
addressed the court in rather i'm
perious tones, as follows: "May it
please your honor, the American
people do not desire that this case
shall be tried again, and I do not
desire it. | say with the utmost re-
spect to the court and jury, and my
counsel, Scoville, that I am not sat
isfed with the political situation, as
developed here in this case. That
is the gist of this alleged ofense.
The President of the United States
would never have been shot if it
had not been for the political situa-
ton, which existed last May and
June, and l say [ have a right, as
matter of law, of appealing, as my
own counsel, to ask your honor that
Gen. Grant, Senators Conkling and
Platt and President Arthur, and
those kind of men, who were 50
down upon Garfield that they would
not speak to him on the street and
would not go to the White house,

right to show my personal relations

A dispatch from Nashville to the
Chattanooga Times gives the follow
ing as the Legislative committee on
redistricting the State Senator'S
Duggan, Cason, Smith, Perkins,
Coleman, Alexander and Bell Rep
reSentatiUeS-Butler, Manson, Calort,
Hawkins, Coulter, Harrison, Rhodes,
Cox, Wilson, Carr and Reeder. The
Senate adopted a resolution to in
crease the membership of the legis-
lature to 132, and passed bill on
its third reading authorizing the
counties to settle their liabilities.

to them by patent and made inalien-
able fer 20 or % years; third, liberal
appropriation for the support of In
dian schools.
Additional legislation with view
to breaking up the revolving prae
tice of polygamy in Utah is strong
ly recommended.
The largest space devoted to any
one topic in the message is that
given to the subject of civil service
reform. The President prefaces
what he has to say upon this sub
ject by quoting from and reafirm-
ing certain passages in his letter of
acceptance of the nomination for
the vice-presidency The history
of civil service reform in England is
briefly reviewed, and the main prin-
ciples of the English civil service
system explained. While declaring
his readiness to second any measure
of reform which Congress may
adopt, the President points out
some of the practical difficulties
which many advocates of reform
have been in the habit of overlook
ing or making light of and shows
the necessity of proceeding with
caution and deliberation. TIE
whole discussion of the subject in
the message is intelligent and dis
eliminating, and will be read with
interest by the public The entire
document is sensible and business
like in its statements and sugges-
tons, dignifed in tone, and written
in simple direct English. It is en-
tirely free from any flavor of "stal-
wartism," or partisanship of any
kind, and, in short, every way wor-
thy of the high Office which Mr.
Arthur has been so Unexpectedly
and suddenly called upon to fill

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

This idea Of becoming an account
ant in three months and less time
has produced damaging results. 1t
has caused many business men to
look with contempt on Business Col
Ieges, as they believed it impossible
for young men to thoroughly master
phe commercial branches in so short
a time; and young men themselves,
who attend College so short time,
generally go home feeling afraid to
risk themselves in business or with
g firms books 1t would be better
not to have a cent of their money
than to take part of it, and not suf,
ttciently qualify them as accountants
that they may be able to earn back
the money invested in their bust
ness education.
Time ReQuired.-The time re-
CURED complete the Course depends
entirely upon the Students applica-
ton and ability A Student who
completes in four months is a bright
student, and has wasted no time. No
student need be discouraged in five
months, for that's a reasonable time.
While any Student who expects to
do much, when he comes in contact
with the active business world,
ought to complete in six months.
The College rooms are open for in
and work the entire day
and on Saturdays. Students can
receive instruction any hour of the
day or after school sessions, and |
diligent Students can put in much |
extra time.

of the weather we are to have dur

storms in Atlantic, and cold, blustry
weather at New York, Boston and
other seaboard cities snowfalls in

middle and western sections, bleak
and stormy weather South.

West to limited extent.
10 to 20. Very cold and blustry
period, with snowfalls where these
were experienced in 1879 and 1880,
the 18th and goth probably being
the days most marked in this re-
spect intense cold in Canada and
the New England States.

nothing but cold, snow and buster

ably resembling, in many respects,
the Decembers of 1876 and 1880.

The students who are now filling
these positions were from the States
of kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi,
Tennessee and Ohio.
Therefore we would ask the fol-
lowing questions:
/. What other Business College
can show as many applications made
to them by business men, in the
short space of four months?
2. Who is better able to judge Of
the qualifications Of young men,
than the merchants and business
men themselves?
3. Whatmore substantial endorse
ment can an institution have, than
to receive frequent applications from
BUSINESS MEN who wish to en-
ploy STUDENTS, also when lead
ing MERCHANTS and others pur-
chase its stock at a premium?
4. Is it not commendable for such
an institution to place its advan-
tages within the reach of young
men in ALL PARTS OF THE
SOUTH, by establishing at consid-
cradle cost, a chain of such institu-
tons?
5. Is it not better for school to
refer to the numerous applications
from business men, than for it to
say eve teach the best commercial
course in the South ?"
GOodman's College has NO THREE
MONTHS OR PARTIAL COURSE. Hence
the success of OUR STUDENTS.
1t surely could not be reasonably
expected that any college could
take the average young man and in
three months pronounce him to be
an intelligent and competent ac-
countant. Having had to educate
him in Commercial Calculations, the
