[Cable dispatch from Glasgow, Scotlandl
A serious panic occurred at the Star Theater.
in Glasgow. caused by cry OF fire. The per-
Torrance had proceeded without interruption
until shortly after o'clock, when some pefson
shouted Fire. Tire whole audience instantly
rose to their feet and made a rush to the several
exits. The great mass of people in the Dit" in
rushing therefrom met crushing crowd Iour-
ing down from the gallery. The fearful and
fatal block followed. The wild shrleks of agony
and despairing cries for help could not then be
answer a. The mass OF panic stricken and
struggling humanity were appealed to by the
officers of the theater and the police to
hold back, bat the appeals were I'M
needed. The crazed crowd frantically pressed
toward the ontlets, trampling down and over
the weaker ones until the street was reached.
When the theater was finally cleared sixteen
cOrpses were found on the stairs leading from
the gallery, and twelve persons were so badly
injured that they only gave evidence that life
was not extinct by their pIteous meanings.
Upon the first alarm being rung the whole fire
brigade quickly went to the rescue, and with
the police. did their utmost to allay the panic
and rescue the dead and dying, but they were
too late TO be Of much effective service. The
police and citizens finally succeeded in fore
ing their way into the building. and then aid
ed all they could to escape TO the street. but the
mass was so wedged that they were sadly inter-
fered with in their humane labors. The city
ambulance corps conveyed the victims, the
wounded and the dead, to the infirmary. The
helplesssas the dead.
The man whose cry Of -Firei" caused the
panic has been arrested. He was drunk when
he raised the false alarm. Persons in the the
alter at the time describe the scene on the stair
case as terrible. The steps were strewn with
ribbons, hats, sacks, and shawls. The victims
were first surocated and then trampled upon.
The panic lasted fifteen minutes. The scenes
were most affecting. Among the victims were
eight women.

A Michigan Libel Case.

The Supreme Court of Michigan has
which contains considerable common sense
in one direction, but il is accompanied by
such reservations that it will tend to check
enterprise in the publication of all the
news" III that State. A man in Detroit was
charged with murder, under peculiarly sem
sational circumstances, and they justified
the strong suspicious against him. The
Detroit Post and Tribune declared with
some eamestness that he was guilty of the
crime. He was afterward tried but ac-
Quilted He sued the newspaper in ques-
ton for libel, but the case went against
him and in favor of the newspaper in the
lower courts. He appealed the case to the
Supreme Court which reversed the judg-
ment in this case, and it now goes back for
q new trial
The opinion of Chief Justice Sherwood
in this case is far in advance of the old law
of libel. He said:
"Thcre can be no question at this late
day but that the public newspaper has the
right whether it shall be regarded as its
duty or not to discuss those matters which
relate to life, habits, comfort, happiness,
aud welfare of the people. In doing so it
may state facts, draw its own differences.
and give its own views upon the facts. 1t
may err in its deductions, and if they are
false they are not actionabie, unless special
damages are shown.
From these favorable premises, however.
he argued unfavorably to the Detroit news
paper in this case. He says that directly
imputing crime To an individual is action
able, and that good motives, absence of
mllice and zeal in the publication of news
do not constitute an excuse or justification
for the libel.
The line is close one and the definitions
are not so clear as to always relieve the
news editor from doubt. Such being the
case. the path of prudence is the path of
safety Chicago Ereni,g journal.
