PETERSBURG ELECTION.

That "Second ward" election In
Petersburg grows in interest, but
the Mayor declines to discuss any
but the newspaper correspondence
until after the investigation of the
grand jury on the charge Of shoot
ing by Genl. Malone, in January.
The Mayor downs the lying CORES

stead of Judge of election being
Knocked down in the room, q man

Ocoasioned excitement out side,
and the balance Of the proceedings
we're simply dlsgraceful in our
opinion. Two democratic judges
could have kept the ballots from
being scattered on the floor.
Petersburg did itself no credit
after that election in sending a
hooting mob to GenI. MahOne's
house. We think Genl. Malone
ought to have shot if he did not.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

We expected to have something
to say about this very important
State Paper this week; but 80
much comment is coming in, and
bills and resolutions are already
before the General Assembly on
the all important issue of the debt,
that we defer.
Oar views are known. To have
voted for a man to reopen the
debt, and settle with the Bri fish
Commissioners, would have been
treason to the people who put us
in Office first on that question, and
haYe kept us there twenty years.
We hope our re IDEAS will 90
carefully though the message. We
could be glad to haye other views
on it than our own.

IOHNsTOWR's ILL FATE.
A PANIC IN A THEATER RESULTS
IN A TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIPE.

JOHNsTOwN, PA, Dec. 10 Dur.
ing a performance OF "UDcle Toms
Cabin at the Opera HOnse here
tonight a cry of fire was raisrd,
resulting in a terrible rush down
the narrow stairs. Twelve persons
were instantly killed and many
terribly injured. Among the xiii.
ed are Mrs. Nestor and George
Fischhorn, the latter being resi-.
dent of Baltimore.
1t was found necessary to turn a
stream Of water on the crowd from
a fire engine standing near before
the dead and wounded coald be
taken out.
Peop'e rushed rom the outside
up The uauON stairs aud aere
crushed b, the crowd forcing It's
ay 10 HE street. Twelve persons
were ki,'ed and seventy fys per-
souS werc injured.
The performance was drawing
TO an end in the Main Street Opera
House when the fire bell wasl lung,
causing "a frantic scramble for the
exit. There we're 800 or GOO men,
women and children in the hall,
and to gain the street, it was
necessary to pass down a narrow
walled-up staircase and through a
very narrow door. The people
from the streets rushed into the
door from outside, and macy were
crushed before they could be forced
out.
Among the seriously injured
we're Charles Vaughn, Albert
Owens, and a man named WeImer,
There are about thirty others in-
jured, but their names cannot be
ascertained.
The alarm was false, and there
are many threats agalnss the un.
known man no started 1t.

The Debt Under the RIddleberuer
Bill.

Were the RiddIeberger bill OF
1882 acquiesced IN by the creditors
and the bonds funded under it, the
bonded debt to-day would be SIG,
9,G39.74, which at 3 per cent,
would call for an annual interest
payment OF S5O3,3S922. This to-
tai excerpts the bonds held by the
institutions of learning. AS the
States appropriations for schools,
asylums, pensions, &c, now stand,
aud supposing them not reduced,
there is left to the State out of her
revenue, only S360,260.0S to pay
over $500, 1000 OF interest with. 1t
would not, the Governor thinks, be
a sound proposition to entertain a
settlement carrying a larger inter.
est than this amount. 1.-THE debt
settlement could be recast 80 as
the interest would come within
this limit which IS the measure of
the States ability to pay, he would
unhesitatingly recommend its &C
ceptance by the State. The State
is not able to make as good an offer
to the creditors now as it did in
1SS7.-StduntOn VtndicdtOr.

The most complete case of bold.
ness and Impudence comes to us
from Danyille. A young man
LIVING in the same county, Pittsyl-
vania-drOve his horse to livery,
then went to store and purchased
q check book on the Border Grange
Bank. He then went to ROsen-
stocks store, where be borrowed
pen and ink. Later in the day he
made some purchases and rendered
one of the checks. A quick jerk
at his jib boom tore away his false
mustache. In his OyercOat pocket
we're found forty or more of these
checks. ellis father is a highly
citizen of the county,"
say the papers.
A man bold enough to attempt
such fOrgeries should be sent right
straight up. We would like to see
him get at least as much punish
nent as is meted out to cOlored
men for petit larceny.

strained to think that we were actu-

charges, inzsmuch as they are al

of witnesses. And these witnesses
do not testify from heresay, but re-
