The JOhnstOwn Opera House Horror.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE opera
house horror here last night was fully as
shocking as at first reported. The number
of dead positively known is nine and five
of the injured are reported to have died
this morning at their homes IN various sec
tions of the town. The number of injured
is about eighty. The doctors say the most
remarkable feature of the accident is that
there is not a single bone broken, either of
those killed or injured. Those known to be
killed are George StOnaker, Lizzie Clay
combination, John Miller, colored; Isaac
Foler, Mrs. Wesley Burns, Clara Burns,
George Horner, Mrs. John W. Nestar,
Eddie Blugler. The cause of the death in
every instance was crushing at the door
way leading to the street, in the frantic eff
forts of the people to get out of the build
ing.
There has been a disposition to draw
morbid conclusions from the Conemaugh
calamity and it has fastened itself upon
the women, young folks and many eXcitable
middle aged people. 1t has been no un-
common thing to hear such remarks as,
''Well. I wonder what will happen next; ~
''We have had food, now look out for fire -
''Johnstown is under a curse"
The bell which struck the alarm was so
close to the theatre that it seemed to be
sounding in the building itself, and never
was confusion more precipitate and awful
among human beings.
No more deaths have resulted. the num-
Der of deaths, as before stated, being ten
Twenty-Five are seriously hurt, some of
whom will likely die. The funeral of the
victims will take place Friday.

Especial to TEE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1I.-That injured, limo
cent George w. Lederer is getting ready
to turn the tables on his enemies. He an
nounced yesterday that he would sue Law
yer Richards. Newcombe and his partner,
Judge Donohue, for heavy damages, and
would use for this purpose the affidavits
made by Clara Chester Binns, in which she
charges that she was wrongfully induced
to bring an action for abandonment. Le-
derer was seen last evening at the Bread
way theatre, and said he would devote the
remainder of his life, if necessary, to the
task of Furnishing the people who had
caused him so much trouble. "My law
yers," he continued, ''Messrs. Price &
Frank, will draw up the papers in my suits
against ex-Judge Donohue and Mr.. New
combe within few days. l shall sue them
each separately on four counts-conspiracy
illegal arrest, false Imprisonment and def
amation of character, and the damages
claimed will be $780, 200 in each case. Mr..
Hermann will also hear from me when

A NEW MILL.

Mr.. Hodges, of Laketown, Rich county,
has just put in operation one of the finest
and best roller mills in the great west,
which if the usual crucial proofs used by
milling experts in testing the qualities of
purity in color and granulation or strength,
and also for its baking or bread-making
qualities, are any proof of success, the
little Laketown short system mill is not ex-
celled by any, and equaled by very lin
tied few. For poverty stricken bran and
finished feed it proves that short system
mills as supplied by the Barnard g. Leas
mill furnishing firm, are not to be sneered
at by their more aristocratic neighbors,
thereby placing our small country milling
plants right up in the front rank in the
competitive race. The machinery and pre-
pared lumber for logging and spouting were
supplied by the above-named firm, and
their resident agent, Mr.. Charles Kemp, of
Moroni, Utah, had the personal supervision
of the millwright work. The whole is
driven by a small special Leffel turbine
wheel, using only 80 inches of water, OF
barely sufficient to fill an aperture 3Xa
inches square. and developing 21-horse
power at a speed of 500 revolutions per
minute, driving a forty barrel roller flour
mill. RURAL MILLwRIGHT.

ingalls, called attention to the fact that a
paper purporting to be memorial or reso-
luton of one branch of the legislature of

and had been referred to the committee on
mines and mining. 1t was a matter of
public notoriety, he said, that there was
some difficulty about the organization of
the legislature of Montana and in
order to avoid any committal of the Sen

resolution of either branch of that legisla
ture, he moved that the order of reference
be revoked and the paper be laid on the

alton with the inauguration of the first

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Frank G. Kammerer
is popular board of trade man who is
moderately well TODD. In spite of the lat
ter fact, however, Mr.. Kammerer thought
that ordinary $50 opera tickets were good
enough for himself and family, and accord
ingly dispatched his settling clerk, an ex-
ceedingly bright young man, to the box
Office of the auditorium several days ago
The tickets which called for seats in the
family circle, well to the skyward, were
purchased in good form. The settling
clerk who bought the bits of pasteboard
got carried away with the opera fever and
made up his mind that he would go, too
Not having the $50 he bided his time, until
in the course of human events, and the
regularity of pay-days, he had gathered
the money together. This brought the
time down to Tuesday night, when he
appeared in the line at the box
Office Respondent in evening costume.
The line was insufferably long, and when
the time for the opening Of the hall arrived
the hero of this story was alas! way
down toward the end of it, with little pros
pect that he would ever get to the ticket
window. At this stage of the proceedings,
Vice-President Morton's party drove up
and the officers in charge ordered break
in the line to allow the party to pass in.
Mrs. Morton, who was attired in evening
dress, and -incumbered with her wraps,
train, ETC., and a large boquet, stepped to
the sidewalk 'Oh, dear" she exclaimed;
81 wish some one would hold my boquet."
The balance of the party were engaged in
taking care of their own accoutrements,
and did not hear the remark Not so the
settling clerk. He winged up to the scene
in an instant. With Chesterieldan grace
he tipped his hat and offered his assistance.
"Thanks,' murmured Mrs. Morton. The
settling clerk tripped lightly by her side,
bearing the boquet aloft and of course
passed the door keeper without question.
Down, down, down the aisles they sailed
until they had reached the private box set
aside for Mrs. Morton's party. The set
Ting clerk gently esconced himself in a
seat in the box and proceeded to look pretty
for the benefit of the audience. He even
had the supreme effrontery to borrow Mrs.
Morton's opera glass, with which he might
thus better see his employer, perched in
the upper circle.

New YORK, Dec. 11,-When Joe Atkin-

Bring in the Democratic Members.


Bring in the Democratic Members.
HELENA, Mont, Dec. 1.-THE Republi-
can senate this morning ordered the SER
geant alarms to bring in the Democratic
members elect. He found several of them
but they claimed they had taken no oath of
Office and were private citizens and refused
to go. The ergeant-at-arms did not at
tempt to use force. The object of this
move was to get some of the Democratic
members in the chamber when they would
be declared present and an organization be
effected. The Republicans claim that the
senate will organize before Saturday. If
so, it will probably be done by seating

feared.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. !
New YORK, Dec. 11.-Sylvia Gerrish is
much distressed. She is to go to Califor-
mia in January to make a visit to her
mother, who has plans to which she does
not altogether subscribe. Miss Gerrish
and her mother received legacy from the
actress grand father some time ago, and
Mrs. Gerrish intended to use the money in
fitting up a home for herself and the
actress at Oakland, the latter's birthplace.
Miss Gerrish is averse TO making a per-
manent home in California, and the pur-
pose of her trip will be to dissuade her
mother from buying any real estate there.
The actress said last night that she ex-
pected to be gone four weeks. She has
not yet notified Manager Aronson. The
rules of the company prohibit such along
leave of absence and she considers that
she will practically have severed her con-
nection with the company by making the
journey.
