New York Tribune: Senator Pendle-
ton has revived his bill permitting
cabinet officers To occupy seats on the
floor of the senate aud house and take
part in the debates concerning their re-
spcctive departments. We hope this
measure will be thoroughly discussed
this winter. 4 great deal can fairly be
said on both sides OF it. The advantages
Ia the heads of departments of being able
to answer questions and support their
estimates for appropriations and their
recommendations for legislation are OBJ
vieus. On the other hand, it can be
urged that the proposed change would
be antagonistic TO the manifest purpose
of the constitution to keep the executive
and legislative branches of the govern
ment separate and independent of each
other. The subject is an interesting
one, as are all involving important
changes in governmental methods, and
the time is propiuous for its considera
ton

such woefnl accents as can be heard
only in death struggle.
THE SCENE WAS UNDERSTANDABLE.
All those inside the fatal building
were pushing their way toward the
street, which was crowded at all points.
The audience from the theater struggled
and pushed each other on the peristyle
and foyer, and confusion reigned su
preme.
Suddenly cries were heard from the
windows Of the theatre leading
70 the ring. The balcony over the en-
trance was soon emptied, and the cries
Of those from the windows and
of those from within the theater were
awful and swelled louder and louder.
The mass of people in the street was
growing denser continually.
All the morning papers publish long
and heartrending accounts of the catas-
trophe Most of them place the num-
Der of dead at 800; but, with the persons
who were in the fourth gallery yet
to hear from, the number will be swelled
to 500 at least. Even the police seem
reluctant to speak of the extent of the
disaster in the upper gallery, and neither
firemen nor soldiers have as yet dared to
penetrate the dreadful scene. A fireman
who had assisted in bringing out bedies
| from the third gallery, on being asked
How many persons do you think are
In the fourth galleryg'' answered: 1.-TWO
hundred, and possibly five hundred who
can tell? They are there in thick masses.
We shall not know how many are dead
until the people of Vienna have sent in
their list of missing ones to the police"
OF the cowardice of the firemen on the
stage, and the attendants who should
have let down the iron screen, and of
the general want of provision in the
event of such catastrophe, there remains
no doubt.
Fire Inspector Netsoe escaped from his
| dwelling in the uppermost story. He
describes the fearful scene in the audi
torium as follows:
1.-THE PEOPLE LAY THERE IN HEAPS,
and many in the strangest pastures.
Some had their hands stretched out i'm
ploringly, and there we're others whose
nails were driven into the flesh from
pain and dispair."

Providence apparently designated
that the unfortunate Mr. Gold, who was
murdered in a railway carriage, should
be vicarious sacrifice for the benefit of
the English people. To an extent
never before manifested, public opinion
in England is demanding the abandon

Terrible Lamp NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Per-

Terrible Lamp ExplOsIOn-SIxteen Per-
sons Burned to Death.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec 10-Between
and 3 O'Clock this morning q frame
boarding house, located on the line of
the Pittsburg s. Lake Erie railroad,
some seven miles below this city, was
set on fire by the explosion of lamp,
and of the forty persons in the building,
only twenty-four escaped alive. Even
they are all more or less burned, and not
one OF them succeeded in securing their
clothes, so rapid was the progress of the
flames. The others were literally roast
ed to death.
There was no possibility of an effort
being made to rescue them. The build
ing in which the fire occurred was To-
Gated at "a place called Cut Rock, and
was Eabout 80 foot wide by 80 feet in
length, constructed of 10 foot boards
placed on end In this the laborers
were huddled for the night. Into the
dark loft, some 43 men were crammed I;
at least that number were reported pres
ent.
The story of the accident as told by an
eye witness was substantially as follows:
Between two and three O'Clock this
morning Mr.. Kown, the boarding house
keeper, rose and kindled a fire in the
kitchen stoves. He left lighted lamp
on table near the door leading to the
dining room and went to arouse his wife
and servants. When he was gone the
explosion occurred and in ar instant
the dining room was filed with smoke
and flames. Mr.. Kown succeeded in es-
Gaping with his wife and girls, but could
not do more than call on those up stairs
to save their lives. In another moment
the flames had enveloped the stairway,
thus cutting off all means of escape for
the doomed men above except through
small opening at either end
of the building.
