THE YOUNGSTOWN HORROR.

Johnstown Opera House illustrated
several things that have often been
commented before. One OF them is
the utter madness of constructing
any kind of a public building With
only one way of egress. Another is
the absolute surety that now and
then some fool will raise a panic by
shouting fire in crowded building.
The next is that when such an alarm
is once given, not 20 men in the
audience probably will have the
courage and calmness to take the
necessary steps to stem the rushing
tide of frenzied people.
1t is well-known that in such cases
the elemental instincts of human
nature will assert themselves, and
men will become simply panic-strick'
en- wild beasts and will dash to their
own destruction. In such cases the
strongest animals are those that es.
cape while women and children are
crushed beneath their feet. A dis
patch gives the following graphic
account OF the affair:
1t was a horrible, s;ckening scene.
The curtains we're just rising on the
transformation scene in " Uncle
Toms Cabin" where little Eva
starts to Heaven, when a fire.bell
adjoining the play house was sound
ed. A sharp. clear voice in the first
gallery cried out Fire" Instantly
almost every ,nan, woman and child
in the overcrowded building was in
a mad and deadly effort to reach the
streets. Men and boys in the first
gallery, finding every escape shut off,
jumped recklessly into the snrglng,
dangerous crowd in the parquet.
Others attempted TO jump from win
dows, while others, frantic from
fright, kept forcing their way toward
the door. The main entrance be-
came choked with y tangled mass of
humanity before dozen persons es-
capped. Then the several hundred
people who we're shut in what they
considered burning building, be-
came more reckless than stampeded
cattle. In the awful fright the
weaker tell. The oaths Of those who
were still strong enough to struggle
and to suffer grated harshly through
the dying means Of those who had
been crushed almost instantly be-
You'd the acute sensibllity to pain.
For the time pandemonium reigned.
The panic lasted fully % minutes,
and the excitement attending it is
said, by eye.witnesses, to have been
greater than attended the awful
food. The chairs in the parquette
were overturned, broken and wreck
ed. The benches in the galleries
were splintered and tossed about,
adding only to the intense agony of
the maddened crowd. Over the
PROSTATE bodies that choked the
main stairway excited, crazy men
attempted to crawl to the street.
They were driven back by the police
to be forced into the jam of prostra-
ted forms that now filled the stair
way to depth of eight feet. The
twisted and contorted bodies became
wedged in the doorway and many
were almost dismembered in drag
ging them to the street.

OK Tuesday last at the session OF the
United States court at Las Cruces, the

fell swoop seventeen suits instituted by
him against citizens OF Grant and Sierra
counties for alleged timber trespass.
Probably these suits were brought legltl'
mately, and proba bly, not, who knows?
In the history OF the administration OF
the courts in New Mexico during the past
three and half years, specially in the LIST,
4th and Sd districts, there have been ac-
cording to report, and in fact current be-
lief, lots of indictments and suits brought,
in fact by the hundreds, that were after

case that these appointments and suits
we're brought for political purposes? for
partisan ends and to make fat hauls for
court officers fees out OF the United States
treasury? Now really could this have
been the case and could these things have
really happened? Time and an honest,
thorough investigation Of these matters
will tell.

TIE Rio Grande Republican, paper
and rather influential one, published in
the extreme south Of the territory and
right i'll the heart OF the proposed new
state OF Sierra, treats the subject in the
following very felicitious manner:
The foreign editor, who so gracefully
presides over the destinies of our esteemed
contemporary, the Hillsboro Advocate,
has at last discovered simple and eX-
peditious method of extricatiug the Demo
cratic party of southern New Mexico from
the political slough OF despond into which
it was plunged by the cyclone of the 9TH
of last November. The scheme is beau
tiful and attractive one--on paper; itcon-
templates joining southern New Mexico
to southern Arizona and creating q new
state to be named Sierra" The consent
of New Mexico or of Arizona
to the proposed disruption OF both
territories is not considered neces-
sary; all that is requisite is to
have the consent of the late Democratic
officials in those territories, whose services
are rapidly being dispensed with by the
Republican administration. The capital
of the new state is located at Las Cruces,
Deming, Silver City, Lordsburg, Socorro,
Hillsboro, Tombstone, Lincoln, White
Oaks, Kingston, and various other places.
This shrewd plan, it is thought, will
bring some local influence in aid OF the
scheme. The constitution of the new
safe is to have a provision tlat no per-
son who has not held federal office I'M
der the late President Cleveland, or who
Is not British subject, shall be eligible
to the office Our genial friend of the
Advocate will thus be made d ubly eli j,
