Mn. EVANS proposed amendment to the
general appropriation bill was not only
germane but warranted by collateral cir
clms,ances. The Democrats, in a majority
in the Legislature and in possession of the
Safe offices, have made free use OF the
school funds for general purposes. Mr..
Evans amendment asked them to say that
these funds, which should BIZ held sacred,
were not to be used to pay any demand
under the general bill. That would have
been command directed TO the State ad-
ministration. 1t would have been the first
intimation from the Democratic Legislature
that the Democratic party intends to treat
the school funds with the respectful con-
sdentiOn commanded by law. But Mr..
Daley and Mr.. Armstrong, Of the Bourbon
n'jOrity, were quick to point to the Con.
stiIution as already prohibiting the use Of
the school funds for other than school puY'
poses. But those funds have been 30 used,
aad even now it Is not proposed by the
Democratic party to pay them back. OF

AT last we nave the Auditors report on
,De reassessment Of real estate. The in
crease is ten millions and aquarter. It
will be remembered that this reassessment
was ordered by the Legislature to dodge
the levy required by The Constitution.
Without waiting for the returns the Finance
Committee recommends an increase OF FIVE
centsin the tax rate for two years. No lawyer
having any regard for his reputation will
say that the Constitution permits the exist
ug deficiency to be carried for two years.
II It did the rate proposed would not be
enough. But let it be granted that the
amount raised by that rate would be sutti-
cieut-why not levy the tax for one year
in obedience to the Constitution? The
people are awaiting with great interest to
see what many effort the Bourbon party
will make untangle itself.

FIVE MINUrls OF TERROR.
A Panic Among Several Hundred Per.
sons ia n New York Store.

New YORK, February l2.-Several hun
dred persons, nearly all Of whom were
women, became panic stricken in the fancy
goods store Of Edward Ridley & Sons, at
Grand and Allen streets, this evening,
through an alarm Of fire. .u.
About ten o'clock there was a noise in
the street which attracted attention within
and caused those nearest the doors to 60
out A man had fallen In lit, but was
able TO indicate his desire 10 be taken
away from the tbropg which pressed around
him. He was picked up by two bystand-
ers, who bore him into the fancy goods
store. His entrance was attended by q
crush forward Of those inside to see him,
and lady standing on the main stairway
slipped, in her curiosity to obtain better
view, and fell headlopg down the whole
flight. The noise OF her fall startled those
near her, and when some one cried "Fire"
the excitement became general throughout
the building.
A FRANTIC RUSH FOR TIE DOORS.
By strange accident Just at this mo-
ment the belt attached to the machine
generating tho electric current which il
Eliminates the premises slipped off the
wheel, the machine stopped and in an in
slant the brilliantly lighted store was in
darkness. Then there was a panic. The
shrieks OF women were heard as the i'm
mense crowd rushed irantically for the
doors, and several ladies tainted. Mr..
Throckmorton, the superintendent, and
the floor walker Immediately turned on
the gas, while other employees aided them
in their endeavors 10 restore order. The
cause OF the alarm was fully explained, so
that in few moments comparative quiet
was restored.
THE FiREMEN AND POLICE SUMMONED.
But an additional alarm now threatened,
for boy the moment the cry Of fire was
raised, had dashed to the Elbridge street
police station with most startling account
OF the state Of affairs in Ridley's, Sergeant
Dahlgreen sent a patrolman to sound the
alarm from the nearest signal box, and
called Captain Allaire, who, at the head Of
squad OF men, started at once for the scene.
When he arrived there the proprietors
quickly explained what had happened. and
TO prevent another scare the Captain posted
men some distance away to check the fire.
men as they came rushing up. The plan
was successful as none OF the firemen Ell.
tered the building and the shoppers were
kept in perfect ignorance OF their close
proximity.
The unfortunate cause OF the alarming
cry was not. severely hurt by her fall, and
the half dozen ladies rendered unconscious
through their fright rapidly regained their
composure when cold water was dashed
into their faces. The whole affair tran.
spired inside OF five minutes, after which
the store was kept open later than usual in
order that perfect confidence might be re-
stored.

The citizens were, however, soon over
taken by superior number Of Apache
warriors, who attacked the company say,
agely. The citizens fought desperately and
finally succeeded in holding all the pris.

had few wounded. The citizens took
four additional scalps, but the Indians re-
covered ten OF the thirty.eieht loaded
horses. Thecompany arrived at Temosachi,
3l5 miles west, on the right bank Of the
Papigochie River, with sixteen scalps,
thirty.three old and young prisoners, the

inches higher than the flood oilSsl. About
three, ,iourths Of the manufactures are now
flooded, and II the rise continues till mid
night every furnace in the immense glass

much larger. About Ave hundred houses
