AN APPEAL TO HONOR.
REPUBLICANS AND INDEPEN-
DENTS ISSUE AN ADDRESS.

Every Citizen Urged to Become Vigil
lance Committee in the Interest of an
Honest Ballot and Fair COunt-Cleve-
lands Election All that is Needed to
Ensure the COuntry's Prosperity.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The following ad-
dress was issued to-day by the National
Committee of Republicans and Inde-
pendents from their headquarters at No.
50 Nassau street, New York:
To the Country:
This nation won independence under Wash
lngton and freedom under Lincoln. 1t is now
to stand for honesty, without which lIbe rty
cannot last The Republican party a SKIS
us to put James G; Blaine in
the place of Washington and Lincoln. Re
publicRns who in 1864 fought for liberty un-
der a war Democrat, Gen. Grant, and by the
help Of war Democrat re- elected Lincoln
President unite in 1884 with honest Demo-
Gratis to elect an honest man to Lincoln 5
place. We don't mean to leave the Republi-
can party, but tO'save its honor. The Repub-
lcan managers do not represent the princi-
pies we honor as Republicans. Their cam
paign has been one of SANDER, Of denial, Of
false pretense. We ask voters not to let them
selves be deceived. Public honesty is the
crying need of this land.
CLEVELAND ALL THAT is NEEDED.
To reduce taxes, to extend business, to make
work steady, to uphold wages, to oppose mo-
nopOlies, to obtain a commercial marine and
navy, to maintain our honor among other
nations, we need only the stalwart honesty
and simple common sense which Grover Cleve-
land viii bring to the country. We appeal to
the Republicans of New York State to roll up
such majority for her reform Governor as
will overwhelm all IDEALS" and show that
Blame IS defeated by Republican votes. Con-
nectlcut, we believe, will uphold honest
The men of Massachusetts have given hope
that her true Republicanism, indignant at the
betrayal of truth by the party leaders,
will pronounce for Cleveland. New jersey
can be lost only through bribery, corruption
against which every honest voter should stand
firm. Indiana cannot be carried for Blaine
except by repeating DOrsey's shameless
methods, and by the reckless lies Of Dudley
government employees.
AID FROM OTHER STATES.
There is hope Of the electoral votes1 from
other States of the great West. The only
danger on Tuesday next is from the con-
splracy of millionaire mOnOpOlists, who do not
stoop at buying States in the interest of their
gigantic jobs. The ballot is a sacred trust.
Citizens use it for the good of the whole peO-
pie. Veterans who fought for freedom, vote
now for honesty. The man who sells his bal
lot for pay or for promises, or shirks his vote,
betrays his country.
Let each citizen DC vigilance committee of
one in behalf of liberty. If voters are bought,
challenge them at the polls. See to 1t that
sure punishment follows bribery and cOrrup-
ton in high places or at the polls. The cause
Of honesty will be safe if each citizen will Go
his duty.
By order of the Executive Committee of the
Republicans and Independents.

The Erndns From Wnshinrtnn

WASHINGTON, Nov. v.1.-Over2 ,0OO clerks
and several hundred higher officials have
gone home to vote. Nothing but the
merest routine is done in the depart
ments. Officials are touching up their
annual reports while holding their breath
until election night. The Squeezing Com
mittee, on New YORK avenue, keeps its
rooms open day and night, although it is
hard to say what it expects to do with
the contributions it receives now. The
Republicans are more hopeful than they
have been, but have no new information
upon which to base their new hope. The
Democrats are reassured by encouraging
telegrams from the national headquarters.

PETERsBURG's WATER FAMINE,
a New Reservoir to be Built to Guard
Against its Repetition.

a New Reservoir to be Built to Guard
Against its Repetition.
PETERSBURG, VA, Nov. 1.-While the
rains which have fallen throughout this
section during the past few days have
been beneficial in helping all kinds of
farming operations they have done little
or no good towards increasing the supply
of water in the city reservoirs, which
are as low now as they were
when water was first cut off
from some portions ofthe city a few weeks
ago. One-half of the city is still being
supplied from the Upper AppomattOX
canal and as many as possible from the
city reservoirs, but in some sections
number of Inhabitants are without water
altogether on their premises. The Com
mittee on Water has contracted with j.
c. Bat helOr, of Richmond, to construct a
new reservoir for the city at a cost of
$4,725. This will give the city three re-
ceiving and one supply reservoir, which
it is believed will be sufficient to keep the
city amply supplied with water during
the most prOtracted drought.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA high officer
of the navy who called on Gen. Grant in
New York this week says that the Gen.
eral is of the opinion that Blaine will be
defeated next Tuesday. A member of
the Democratic Committee of California
telegraphed here today that the Blaine
Gould dinner at DelmonicO's
has made a profound impression on the
Pacific coast, and has materially aided
the Democrats in California. A Blaine
man of this CITY, who has been for several
months in New York in constant and
intimate relations with Elkins and other
Blaine managers, has written to his per-
sOnal friends here not to bet that Blaine
will carry New York. He advises them
to bet on Indiana and Connecticut.

A PANIC TN A THEATRE.
SIXTEEN KILLED OUTRIGHT AMI
TWELVE ALMOST LIFELEss.

The Stampede Started by a False Cry of
Fire-SuspiciOns that a Discharged
EmplOye Raised the Fatal Shout-AlI
Efforts to Stem the Rush Unavailing.
GLASGOW, Nov. IA disastrous panic
occurred here this evening at the Star
Theatre, caused by a cry of ''fireW Dur
ing the rush by the audience to escape
from the building 16 people were killed
and u more were seriously injured. The
performance at the Star Theatre had pro-
ceeded without any interruption until
shortly after 8 O'Clock, when some person
shouted ''ire!' The whole audience in
stantly rose to their feet and made a rush
to the several doors. The great mass of
people who occupied the pit in escaping
therefrom met crowd that was descend
ing the stairwayS from the gallery and a
fearful block ensued. Loud cries of dis
tress and shouts for help arose from the
mass OF panic-stricken and struggling
humanity. The crowd was abiured by
the officers of the theatre and by the police
to hold back, but the warnings and
appeals were unheeded. The crazed peo-
pie frantically rushed toward the outlets,
trampling and jumping over each other
until they reached the street.
SIXTEEN CORPsEs ON THE STAIRS.
Heu bu6 Iu6dJfe was uualIV cleared
sixteen cOrpses were found on the stairs
leading from the gallery, and twelve per-
sons were so badly injured that they only
gave evidence that life was not extinct by
their pIteous meanings, Upon the first
alarm being rung through the city, the
whole fire department quickly went to the
rescue, and, with the police, did their
utmost to allay the panic and rescue the
crushed victims, but they were too late to
be of much service.
VAIN EFFORTS TO STOP THE RUSH.
The police force, aided by volunteers,
rushed into the building and endeavored
to keep the entry clear by aiding all they
could to escape to the street, but the
crowd was so large that they were sadly
interfered with in their humane labors.
The city ambulance corps conveyed the
victims to the infirmary, the living,
wounded and dead being so mixed that it
was only possible to recognize them after
their arrival.
THE AUTHOR OF THE CRY.
1t was subsequently learned that the
author of the cry of fire was a former
emplOye Of the theatre, who had been dis
missed. The audience numbered about
1900 people. The performance of the
evening consisted chiefly of music hall
business. Another account says that an
alarm arose while trapeze performer
was taking a dive from the ceiling to a
net hanging in mid-air, one of the audi
ence shouted ''lire" meaning that the
performer had gone too near the FOOT
lights,

LONDON, Nov. Lord Northbrook,
who has returned from Egypt, whittier he
was sent by the government as Special
High Commissioner to gain inform alton
concerning the state of the Egyptian ad-
ministration, recommends that England
pay the Alexandria indemnity, taking
sinking funds as security. The Khedive,
through Lord NorthbrOok. protests against
the coercion exercised by Sir Evelyn Bar
ing, the English Minister, in the Ministe-
rial Council. Sir Evelynn is unpopular
because Ofhis efforts to stop the corrupt
practices of Egyptian officers. Nubar
Pasha has used his position as Prime
Minister to secure renewal Of the con-
cession to the Cairo Water Company, Of

shareholder. A report has been current

MICHIGAN'S PROHIBITIONIsTs.
A Proclamation Issued by their Candi-
date for Governor.

DETROIT, Nov. IA proclamation has
been issued by David Preston, the Pro-
hibitiOn candidate for Governor, and Jo-
siah W. Begole, the present Governor, and
the fusion candidate for reelection. The
proclamation sincerely hopes that on
Tuesday every voter will be encouraged
to vote in accordance with his cOnVic-
tions of right. Let every good citizen
constitute himself committee OF one to
see that the law regarding the purity of
the ballot is observed, no intOxicants
used, and nothing permitted to occur in
any voting precinct that may tend to in
jure the reputation of the State. 1t closes:
We also express these words of hope for our
sister States, and pray to God that peace and
right may prevail at every voting place in eur
great nation.
This address was presented to Gen.
Alger, the Republican candidate for
Governor, but he declined to sign it on
the ground that he considered voters
able to judge as well of their duties as
any of the candidates., and, so far as
selling intoxicating liquors is concerned,
as every voter knows, there is law that
fOrbids their sale on election day.
