ALMOST A PANIC IN A THEATRE

An incipient panic occurred at the Union Square
Theatre last night during the performance of the
second act of " A Partisan Romance" Miss Harri-
son and Messrs Mansfield and Whiting were on the
stage when few ladies and gentlemen seated in
various paris Of the parquette simultaneously rose
to their feet. apparently displeased with the per-
Torrance, and prepared to leave the thea
tire. No unusual noise was heard
nor was any smoke or other inGi'
cation of fire visible; yet the audience appre-
hensve of some unseen danger, began hurriedly To
leave their seats and crowd toward the main exit.
The ushers and some of the cooler men in the rear
of the house shouted: Keep your seats, keep your
seats! There is no fire and no dangerI Inc doors
were closed aud the crow0 prevented from
rushing into the street, and in few moments
quiet was restored. The panic-stricken men and
women were induced to return to their seats, the
audience apIrauded and the play which had been
interrupted Tor some minutes proceeded as II moth
ing had happened. The actors. whose voices had
been drowned III the noise and confusion. remained
in their places and by their cool behavior helped to
alay the excitement in the audience. A number of
LADIES' whose nerves had been badly shaken by the
occurrence left the theatre with their escorts as
soon as they could do without creating fresh
panic There was no fire in the theatre or its
vicinity, the panic being caused simply by four or
five ladies gentlemen getting up TO 90 out at the
same time.

THE DUTY ON PIG IRON.

AGAINST ITS REDUCTION.

MANUFACTURERS IN WASHINGTON TO PROTEST
AGAINST ITS REDUCTION.
WASHINGTON Jan ia committee of pig iron
manufacturers, consisting of Henry s. Eckert Will
lam A. Ingham, w. Hainey and William NJ. Kauf-
man. of Pennsylvania, +. A. Comfy, of Virginia
Joseph C. Kent, of New-Jersey. and J. Wesley
Pullman, of Nev-York. are in Washington and have
to-day and this evening conversed with nearly all
the members of the Ways aud Means Committee of
the House and the Finance Committee of the SEN
ate iii respect to the threatened reduction of duties
below the existing rates. They say that many we'll
located furnaces tilted with modern appliances are
today either closed or running without any profit
and that the proposed reduction the duty enact
ed by Congress, will speedily bring about most dsas
trous results. Assuming that imports of pig and
scrap iron for the year 1882 Ia year OF low prices
reach 600 900 gross tous, this meant direct loss
of employment to American miners furnace men
and transpOrters of over $40. 900 on basis OF
of SIT per ton for labor and handling.
With duties cut down even to the extent named
by the Tariff Commission (the ocean freights from
Liverpool, Glasgow and Cardiff ranging from .
shillines to shillings and pencel stock of
1000 900 tons of British pig iron ready to come
60 American ports and to food the whole seaboard.
while the number of men employed in this country
IN digging ore and smelling pig iron was already
being reduced by the stoppage of mines aud fur
naces
They protest against any such reduction of the
duty on pig and scrap iron, as 1t will turn
adrift large portion of the army
of labor now employed, bringing them into
competition with others at present engaged in var
Gus trades and occupations already fully supplied
with men, and compelling further serious reduc-
ton of wages and its consequent widespread dis
tress and discomfort. In the Lehigh
Valley, the largest pig iron producing
region of the United States with
filty-two blast furnaces, ten companies have
failed in the last five years, and several sold out by
the Sheriff. while others created large mortgage ILL.,
debtedness. In the year 1882 only three COM
panies were earning and paying diylderds. A care
ful inquiry has failed to, find the investment of
capital in more than half dozen
new furnaces north of the Potomac
and east of the Alleghanies during the last ten
years except ill connection with the steel rail- man
ufacture.
The facts, they say, are therefore plainly ap-
parent First, the manufacture OF pig iron IN
the section represented by tins committee is an
industry which must gradually decline IN
the future through the operation OF natural causes
second 1t il that section which is directly affected
DIV the importation of foreign irons. and the chief
effect of any reduction in the duty must fall upon
those who are least able to bear it,
