STANLEY'S RETURN.
The Long Journey For Emin Pasha's
Relief Ended-Sad Accident.

The Long Journey For Emin Pasha's
Relief Ended-Sad Accident.
Henry NJ. Stanley has arrived on the east
coast of Africa, opposite Zanzibar, having
with him Emin Pasha and about two hum
dred people whom he has been for many
months conducting from the interior of the
continent. The dispatch which announces
their arrival stated that another detachment
of the rescued community was safely nearing
the point of rendezvous.
Thus ends successfully one of the most re-
markable expeditions of modern times.
While General Gordon was Governor of the
Soudan German named Edward Schnitzler,
came Governor of a province of Egypt in the
equatorial interior of the continent To res
cue him from his isolated position the expedi-
ton was organized, which was put in charge
of Stanley, in February, 1887. From that
time to this the public has watched for news
from the adventurer and his command with
increasing interest. Frequently stories of his
death have been published, but they proved
to be false.
Mr. Stanley brings with him not only the
people whom he set out to relieve but an adj
ditional store of experience of life in interior
Africa, which we may expect him to reduce
to print for the benefit of geographical and
chronological science.
Adispatch from Zanzibar announced that
Emin Pacha had met with probably fatal
accident. Being near-sighted, he walked
out of window by mistake, and fell on his
head. fracturing his skull.

Declaration of Independence.
The Governors of Pennsylvania, New Jer.
sey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New
Hampshire and Arizona were present in per.
son, and eleven other States were represented
by proxy, at meeting held in Washington
to petition Congress for the erection of a
memorial monument at Philadelphia to Com
memorate the Declaration of Independence
and the one hundredth anniversary of Con-
stitutional Government in the United States.
Governor Green, of New Jersey, presided, and
delivered an address giving history of the
present movement, which, he said, was started
as far back as 1852
After general discussion draft of bill
was adopted to be presented to Congress. 1t
donates ten acres in Fairmount Park, Phila-
delphia, for the monument. provides for com
mission comprising one citizen from each
State and Territory and thirteen citizens of
Philadelphia, and asks Congress for an ap-
preparation to erect the monument, the
amount being left blank.

A PANICS AWFUL RESULT.
Another Disaster i'm Ill-Fated
JOhnstOWn.
Many People Trampled to Death
in a Theatre.

Johnstown, Penn, the city of disasters, has
had another horror. 1t came in the night,
and though its dead and injured victims do
not number more than one hundred, all told
it came upon them with even less of warning
or preparation than the awful deluge of
May 81. Twelve persons at least were
killed and thirty-five seriously injured as a
result of a fire panic at the Johnstown Opera
House, which was opened to the public only
week or two ago. Stetson's Uncle Toms
Cabin" was the play, and there was a large
audience present, considering the very
limited means which Johnstown people
now lind at their command for any
kind of amusement purposes Dur
ing the performance the cry of 'Firer
was raised To people among whom any
sudden warning might mean so very such, to
those who had passed through the flood
and had not forgottenits horrors, this cry was
contagious. 1t spread like wild fire. and was
on every lip in an instant. Terrified and
panic stricken the hundreds of people in the
audience rushed, over seats and struggling
bodies, toward the one means of exit. There
was only single, narrow stairway, and over
one another, headlong, the frightened people
tumbled regardless of the consequences
By las o'clock A. NJ. nine dead bodies had
been recovered from the wreck of the stairs
and auditorium, and dozens upon dozens of
the injured had been assisted to doctors Of
ices and drug stores for relief and restora-
tlon. By A M ten dead bodies had been
counted, and it seemed as if the number
might yet be swelled, possibly doubled The
number of injured at that hour had reached
thirty-fve, and there had been only the most
superficial and hasty of searches for either
the rescued or the dead
1t was found necessary to turn stream of
water on the crowd from a fire engine to
force it away from the doorway below, so
the dead and wounded could be taken out.
When the jam was cleared the following
persons were found dead upon the stairs.
Miss Clara Burns Mrs. Nester, George
Horner, Charles Fiant Mrs. Lister, John
Miller, A. Weiss, John Wyman, Richard
Worthington, Isaac Tolar, John Carr and an
unknown woman.
Among the seriously injured were Charles
Vaughn, Albert Owens and man named
Welmer. There were about thirty others
injured.
The alarm was false, and there were many
threats against the unknown man who
started it.

Richard Franklin Pettigrew, the other new
Senator from South Dakota, is Vermonter
by birth. His father was a merchant at
Ludlow in that State, where he was born
July 26, 1S4S. In 1854 the family moved to
Wisconsin. Young Richard entered Beloit
College, intending to work his way through,
but his father died, and he had to leave col
lege and help support the family. He stud
led hard, however, and in 1869 he entered the
