WEDNESDAY. JANUARY Is. 1890.
Safety of Life.

The resolution which Mr.. CAPEns offered
In the Board OF Aldermen on Monday
night ought TO eventuate in an ordinance
preventing the blocking up OF the aisies
and passage-ways not only OF places OF
amusement. but of the churches, Arinory
Hall. and all other places where large
crowds do congregate. Only few persons
are accommodated by the wrongful use OF
the gangways Of assembly halls; but II the
sisles were twice as large as they are aud
could furnish sittings for four times as
many persons none the less would it be the
duty of the city fathers to prohibit the set
ting of such traps.
The CIV of fire in church, or a theatre.
or any other place crowded with persons,
produces panic. II is not 80 much the
FIRE that is to be guarded against as the
panic: and the panic will be dangerous in
proportion rs the means of instant egress
are sufficient or insufficient. The cry OF
fire in q crowded hall where the persons
present can see for themselves that egress
may be accomplished in minute is not
what IL is in hall where all the persons
present see for themselves that the aisles
are packed with chairs and benches ana
crowded with men, women. and children,
who not only cannot assist the throng TO
escape, but are incapable of escaping them
selves. In a word. these circumstances
will inevitably produce a panic; and
crowds of human beings. panic-stricken,
are not one whit more open to reason than
the buffaloes which trample to death the
sick or disabled individuals Of the herd.
Nowhere else does human nature appear so
badly-so destitute of all that ennobles-
no senseless-so Indifferent to the rights OF
man-so totally transformed from what it
ought TO be-as in crowd in time OF
panic.
These crowded halls and alarms, false
and real, are generally seen and heard at
night. Il is proverbial that he is the
bravest man who is brave when awakened
at two o'clock in the morning. MORTON
"Dre- p-ism's curtain in the dead Of night,
And would have told him half his Troy was
burned,
But Prism found the nre ere he his tongue"
Not so in panic in crowded hall. Here
the stricken ones find their tongues before
they find the fire, and in the rush, tho
throng, and the senseless, reckless efforts to
reach the doors, human life losesits sacred
ness and men become brutes.
Let us lock the stable-door here in Rich
mond before the horse is stolen. Let us be
wise not after the event but before. 1t is
not small matter.

To he Eiiior Of 0te Dispatch:
Dear Sir,-I was surprised. when reading
your paper YESTERDAY, at seeing this cap
ton to my article. "A Sunday Letter from
Rev. l.. A. Cutler" do not write letters
on Sunday do not read secular papers
on Sunday, and am opposed to the publi-
cation and circulation of Sunday papers.
respectfully ask for the publication of
this note in justice To myself and to my
brother ministers, with whom | stand in
honest opposition to the Sunday news
paper Truly yours, l.. A. CUTLER.
The letter appeared on Sunday. and the
caption in question was used to indicate
that the letter discussed a moral question,
and was therefore, III our opinion, enti-
tied TO be called Sunday Letter"

West Virginia alone has greater coal area
than Great Britain, France, and Germany
ombined. These three countries have q
combined coal area of 1876 square miles,
while West Virginia's coal area is 10000.
The Little Mountain State" also has "A
greater coal area than Pennsylvania. Mary
land, and Virginia combined. which have
but 1907 square miles, Wheeling Register.
These figures surprise us. Upon what
authority is the Registers statement
based? The territorial area of West Vir-
ginia is only 24,7sO square miles. So that
if the Registers figures arc right, two
thirds of the surface of West Virginia lies
over coal-beds.

JUSTICE TO Mr.. BRIcE.-Papers published
at distance from the capital of Ohio talk
about Mr.. BRIcE as if he were boodler;
but Ex-Governor FOSTER, his Republican
rival, contradicts the report. The Column

declares that "no evidence exists that a
single dollar of Mr.. BRIcE's money was
paid for vote in the caucus" and adds:
I'VE do not believe that any charge of cor

SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. 1s.-The
recent Central American mail brought q
letter from DR.. George A. Cole, form

who has been in Guatemala during the
past year. BE says proclamation has
been issued that all men who were not
ready for military duty would lie shot.
Nearly all the men who first went In the
front have been killed in battle with Sal
vadorans. eff EZeta marches to this
city," the letter says, she will proba-

safe, for they receive protection at the le-
CATION. Every servant, even those on
the plantations, have been drafted into
the army. and there are not enough left
to supply food, provisions being at enor-
nous prices. Twenty Americans
and as many Germans aud French
offered their services TO Barrillas,
but they were refused. About
% 900 soldiers have already left
the city for the frontier. Men are at

| Cole, colored man who recently came

on the avenue armed with q razor and q

dog. He was evidently crazed by liuuor
James Smith was walking On the west
side of the street and without the least
warning Cole, who was on the east side.
started toward Smith. He lost the
razor but before Smith could realize
what the trouble was the darkey struck
him with the stone and knocked him
senseless. The negro then jumped on
the PROSTATE man and hammered him
with another stone while the bull dog

Ex-Justice of the Peace Michael Shield
came along and attempted to assist
Smlth, whom the negro was numbering.
Inc Wild man turned on Shields. who
struck and smashed a cane over his head
and he then ran away and secured a
piece of board. When he returned
the darkey had attacked a man named
Schneider and cut and bruised him about
the head. Shields at once proceeded to
pound the darkey on the head with the
board, but IL had no effect. Jose Mara
WITT, near whose place the row occurred,
came out and the darkey
struck him with rock. in

Schneider and two other men now waded
into the darkey and after q hard fight
overpowered him and held him down uu-
til an officer arrived. running fight
took place between the officer and the
negro land the officer was knocked down.
He used his club freely and smashed the
negro face and nose. BY this time
the chief of police aud city marshal ar
rived on the scene and the wild darkey |
was landed in jail, where he fought like |
demon and made a desperate attempt |
10 kill Officer Harris with a spittoon. |
Smith, the man who was struck and |
pounded with rock, is in bad shape. |
Spectators state that had 1t not been for |
the interference of Mr.. Shields, Smith |
would have been pounded to death. |
Schneider injuries are not dangerous.
