Terrible Situation ar nm Audience In the
Union Square Theatre.


NEw IoRE, January l3.-There was Q
panic in the Union Square Theatre las
night. During the second act OF "a Pari
sian Romance" several ladies and gentle
men sitting in the first row Of seats arose
and hurriedly left the building. Others
seeing this unexplained movement, and
not understanding it, rose hastily on al
sides, and in Il moment the stampede be
came general. The aisles were crowded
and there was dangerous rush towards
the chief exit on Union Square. There
was no alarm cry given, but the absence Of
it seemed to add tothe fearful significance o
the terrible struggle to reach the doors
One lady, who was terribly crushed, was
heard family to moan, "My God, oh God,
and tainted.
Some persons in the boxes cried out that
all was right, and the audience became
somewhat reaSsured.
A lady who was in the struggling mass
begged man, who was terOCiOusIy beating
his way to the door, not TO hurt her. He
replied, ~ saw the Brooklyn Theatre fire;
don't talk talk to me. 1t was gone in five
minutes"
This cry is srecalled to the minds Of nearly
all, that the Union Square management
had possession Of the Brooklyn Theatre on
tue night when 1t was destroyed by fire
with such irIghtiul loss Of life,
It was sad that some sparks OF fire were
seen to fall on the stage, aud this, in view
OF the recent Milwaukee fire, created ter
rible dread Of what would seem certain
death. A number OF ladies tainted, aud
many lost their jewelry. Alter the panic
snbSided the play was continued.

The brig had been about twenty-five

Of sleep and long exposure to the cold and

the cold and were scarcely able to work
the vessel. One by one the men, exhausted
by the long strain, died. When eight

two men, seeing that it would be useless to

the brig was taken TO the Breakwator. The

men,s OF a still more sensational character.
While dying OF his wound Moore sent for

clined the honor OF his hand, and begged
her TO forgive him for killing himself on

ise that was heard with alarm by MIR.
William Mcclellan, the suicides successful
rival. The promise dispelled Moores de-
sire to die and awakened fierce desire to
live for his sweetheart. a little later the
doctors declared the wound mortal and
bade the suicide give up all hopes OF life.
After the fiat had gone forth Miss Patter'
son did not wait 10 see the end but left un-
der the escort Of young McCleland. Shortly
before Moore's death lie left instructions
for his funeral and an order tor the Rev.
Mr.. Sweet to deliver the oration. He then

REMOVING A HILL.
A Gigantic Blast Tint Rent In Twain Old
Mother Earth.

EAsToN, January l3.-The third OF a ser
les Of very large blasts now being made by
the Glendon Iron Company was fired yes
ter,lay and was attended with very satis-
factory results, us it is estimated that over
100000 tons OF rock were displaced. The
site Of the blast was u hill on the north side
OF the Lchigh river, n quarter Of mile
mile above the works. Into this hill, which
is $50 feet high, were dug three tunnels
each forty feet long, At the end Of each,
ut right Sngles, were cut two other tunnels,
ending in chambers, where the powder was
placed. Each Of these six chambers were
l56 feet below the top OF the hill and forty
feet from the surface. The hill was almost
perpendicular. Twenty.nine thousand
pounds Of Sudson powder, equal to $4,000
pounds Of common powder, were stored in
these chambers, and the whole was fired
BY magueto.eleCtriC machine by touch
from the hand OF Superintendent Frank
Eirmstoue. The shock Of the explosion
was more severe than at any previous blast,
though no damage was done at Nll. The
entire surface OF the hill-400 feet long,
$50 feet high and 40 feet deep-was rent
