Mr.. John S. Wise, of Virginia, or New

responsible for the story that he was very
vehement in the presence of the Preside 1t
fe" days ago, when he failed to get an
appointment for friend. He declares
that he has the highest respect for the Pres

giving his opinion of the republican national
committees. He see MS to thiak that Quay
aud Dudley are running the republican pol
tics of Virginia, and that in their estima-
ton Malone is the biggest man in that
state. The President seems to have some
trouble in getting his southern policy to
work smoothly.

There is great rejoicing in the Police

exalted opinion of the present Board of
Finance.
This has been brought about. by the
action of the Board at its meeting this
morning
Commissioner Allen introduced long
preamble and resolution which set forth
the facts that by the act of May o, 1889,

endorsed such increase at the last cleo
ton, and directed the Committee on
Finance to borrow on one or more tenn
porary loans, at four and half per cent,
$24, 500 in order to provide for such in
crease.
The session of the Board was brief
one and the other business transacted OF
but little Importance The Comptroller's
receipts for the week were reported to
have been $124, 4,SS2. .9S, and the resolution

IT'S ,JOHNS7OWN'S FATE
Last Nights Theatre Hor-
ror in the City of
Bad Luck.

JoHNsToWN, Pa, Dec. II, 1SS9.-The
panic at the theatre here last night was
more terribly fatal than was reported in
the morning papers. The stairways and
rail presented sickening sight, being
covered with blood. Ten bodies are now
lying at the morgue and five more of the
injured are reported to have died this
morning at their homes.
The names of those knownto have died
are George Stonaker, twenty-three years
of age; Miss Lizzie Claycomb, aged seven
teen; John Miller, colored, Chambers
Mrs. Wesley, aged forty; Miss Clara
Burns, 70; George Horner, IL, jumped
from the gallery to the parquet and broke
his neck; Mrs John w. Nestor 25; Eddie
Bleighlor, 8, and George Freschorn, %.
The cause of death in all cases but one,
George Horner, was the crushing at the
doorway leading to the street, in the
frantic efforts of the people to get out of
the building.
A heavy smoke rising from a small
building near the Opera House caused
some one to ring the fire bell near by.
Some one in the gallery, said to have
been boy yelled s.fire," and panic en-
sued. Men and boys and women jump
ing from the gallery on the heads of the
people below
A gallery seat broke with crash in
creasing the fright, as it was thought that
the building was falling. A hundred and
fifty or more people crowded into the
narrow stairway at once and were pressed
upon so closely that those in front fell in
the doorway.
The stairway was piled full of strug-
Cling people, and the uproar could be
heard squares away. The police fought
back those who were trying to get out by
walking over the unfortunates packed in
on'the stairs.
A great crowd assembled outside and
also had to be fought back from the the
atre door to give room to remove those
lodged there.
These latter were SO tightly wedged in
that strong men could not pull them out,
and it was not until the crowd upon
the upper part of the stairs had been
forced back that effective relief could be
given to the dead and dying in the door
way below.
Several persons leaped upon the stage
and assisted the actors in their endeavors
to call the audience to their senses, but
for long time their efforts were without
avail. The play was nearly at an end.
The actors behaved with great presence
of mind and prevented the catastrophe
from being worse Finally the tumult
within the building was held In check
and the people returned to their seats.

ought to be built under somebody's su-
pervlsion-some responsible party who
would see that it was properly construct
ed. This struck Alderman Jewkes as
good idea, and he said so, dwelling on the
fact that gas company which was given
permission TO tear up the streets had done
so and no one could make it put them IN
good condition again. He was afraid this
company might do the same.
Alderman O'Neil1 also tore the gas COM
pany up the back and said he did not like
TO be jumping up all the time but he
thought some safeguards ought to be
thrown around the road so he moved
that it be built under the supervision of
the Committee on Streets. This was car
ried.
Alderman O'Rourke wanted commit
tee appointed to confer with the counsel
OF the road for the purpose of having
these matters adjusted. This, however,
did not appear practicable to the Board
and it did not prevail Mr.. O'Neill sue
ceeded in getting an amendment through
which provides that the replacing of the
streets, water pipes, sewers, etc, dis
turbed in the construction of the road
shall be done to the satisfaction of the
city authorities
Then the ordinance was laid aside until
the next meeting of the Board.
ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Then Alderman O'Rourke moved that
the Bergen Electric Light Company or
dinance be taken from the table. The
City Clerk read this and then Alderman
Prigge proceeded to dispose of the ordin-
ance, much to Mr.. O'Rourke's disgust
He wanted it amended so that the erec-
ton of its poles should be under the
supervision of the Committee on Streets.
Alderman O'Neill wanted it amended
so as to provide for the replacing of pave
ments.
Alderman O'Rourke came to the rescue
of his ordinance, which gave Mr.. O'Neill
chance to refer feelingly to the shock-
ing death of men in New York by electric
light companies wires, and to demand
that the citizens of Jersey City should be
protected from such dangers.
The bonds for the proper observance of
the ordinance were fixed at S25, 900
After some further argument of this
nature the amendments were adopted,
and the ordinance went to keep company
with that for the elevated railroad.
The Board received bill from Trap
hagen and Beekman for $33S SO for costs
in the suit of certiorari in regard to the
ordinance granting the railroad company
permission to erect a shed on Tenth
street. The bill was referred. as the city
will appeal the suit.
A long communication was received
from the Board of Trade calling attention
to the law concerning fire escapes and
fire limits, and asking the Board to take
some action to improve the present de-
plorable condition of the city in that re-
spect.
The Board of Street and Water Com
missioners requested the passage of an
ordinance to prevent the throwing of
waste into ash cans and the City Clerk
was requested to furnish the Aldermen
with copies of the charter.
The Aims Committee wanted its appro-
priation reapportioned, so that most of it
would be available in winter, when it was
needed most.
Five licenses were granted and four
transfers made

New ORLEANS, Dec. II. 1Ss9.-The vsst
coneourse of people assembled in front of
the City Hall, on Lafayette Square. this
morning during the funeral services
held over the remains of Jefferson
Davis bore testimony to the fact that the
demise of the historical head and repre-

the rebellion was not without national
significance
1t is difficult to form any Just estimate
of the number of people present, but it is
safe to say that over 100000 persons Wit
