PANIC IN A THEATER.
Cry of Fire Starts a Stampede at
 Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. 3. = Hun of the Temple theater because the cry of fire was raised when a little flame was seen about the polyscope machine
 In the scramble scores of people were knocked down and thirteen injured three seriously. Of the latter one may die. A number of other persons were bruised or cut, but their injuries were slight.
 The place was crowded at the time but it was emptied in few moments.
 It was about 3 30 o'clock, just after the first act of ''Tennessees Pardner.' The polyscope pictures, which are shown between the acts, had just start ed. The machine was not working we'll, and the audience became restless from the delay and the hissing and sputtering of the machine. The opera tor tried to manipulate it and theL threw the light on the screen, when suddenly there was a sputtering ana hissing, a white flash, and then a lurid tongue of fire leaped out and crawled around the woodwork surrounding the machine, while the smell of fire was detected. -
 In a moment the audience was panic stricken, and some one cried "Firev The theater was packed, principally with women and children. With ont impulse the audience arose and begar a mad scramble for the stairway Screaming and struggling, they fought their way toward the front stairway. Many occupants of the gallery leaped over the railing into the struggling mass of humanity below.
 The great crush occurred where the stairs come down from the gallery. Here the two crowds met and were packed into a space not large enough for half of them, and all were trying with desperation born of fear to reach the street.
 The weaker were soon knocked down and trampled under foot. Those who realized the state of affairs were trying their beSy to check the rush, but the crowd went on pellmell through the doors and literally rolled down the long flight of stairs.
 There was no damage from fire. 1t is said the cause of the flames was the blowing out of q fuse on the polyscope

WITHDRAW SAID LILLY.
Wants to Make a Senator of
 Representative Guilfoile.

The Two Representatives Had
 Slight Set-to Last Friday Night
 The Senior Rep, as Usual, Was
 Looking Out for the c. O. P.-Guil-
 foile Told Him to Go To, or Words
 to That Effect.
 Editor of the Democrat:
 You have given the public whole lot of information the past few days about this much talked of reform con yention. but I have not noticed any thing about the little row that took place between George l.. Lilley and Frank Guilfoile in the lobby of city hall last Friday night before the del egates got together. Where was your reporter while this was going on! Ask him and see what excuse he will give for not making an item of it. It was the best thing that happened there with the exception of the passing of a motion to adjourn.
 There being no politics in the pro posed convention it is in order for any citizen to step up and advise demo- crats, and probably it was on this ac- count that Mir Lilley made bold enough to drop ill on the delegates that night and give them some wholesome coun- sell Naturally he thought the best way he could reach the crowd was through Mir Guilfoile and after assur- ing him in that jocular and at the same time confidential way for which he is famous. to tell his friends to vote for a republican delegate and that the people would make him senator ~ " ne2 state election, This rous d Gull foiles ire and he went for Lilleys Nsltti vengeance, informing him that tie delegates had minds of their own and were not to be turned this way or that way at a suggestion from him or anybody else and kept it up until the great and only Hon George l.. Lilley began to feel that he had made a wrong maneuver and retreated in as good order as possible under the cir cumstances. When your reporters read this they will think am trying to cut one of them out of a job, but this is not so. l call attention to it because I consider it worth putting be fore your readers as additional proof that there is no politics in this con- stitutional reform business.

General Reply to Statements Made
 Previous to Departure.
 Cork. Oct 23.-John Redmond, NJ. F., during the course of the general reply which he made here yesterday to the numerous addresses presented to him previous to his departure for the Unit ed States, laid particular stress on his contention that his mission to America could be taken as proof that the re- union which had occurred in Ireland had also occurred i'll the United States England, hereafter, he added, would have to fight the world wide Irish race of twenty millions, whose action is only limited to one consider ation. namely, that all means were honorable and just i'll the sight of God and who preferred to be linked to the meanest free country on earth than to the British empire"
 MT Redmond also said that his mis- sion was to show England that she would have to count hereafter on a United Irish race backed by the pub lie opinion and the support and sym pathy of seventy millions of free peo- pie in the American republic. To-day, public opinion in every civilized nation was against England and one of his objects i'll going to America was to prove to the English statesmen that the public opinion of the world was upon the side of Ireland. and that the whole public opinion of the American nation, of the leading American states men and of all political parties was in complete sympathy with Ireland's demands for freedom. He would be able to tell their brethren in America of the unity, solidarity and courage of the Irish people at home.

 ant Witnesses.
 Washington, Oct 23.-The Schley court of inquiry is rapidly approaching It's closing days as was made evident by many circumstances today. One of these was found in the fact that the court has removed from it's immediate vicinity most of the tables which were placed there for the press at the begin. ming of the hearings in September Comparatively few of these tables We're ever used, and they have been taken away to make room for the increased attendance which is expected during the last few days of the inquiry ad which IS now made manifest At the begin nlng of to-day's proceedings Mir Ray her, chief counsel for Admiral Schley, said that he would not have more than twelve or fifteen more witnesses to ex
 
 some of these would require colnparn- lively little time. The principal wfs-> 'nesSes yet to come are Admiral Schley and Captain Clark. 1t is expected that Admiral Schley's testimony will cover at least day or two of time, the length depending largely upon the ex tent of the cross examination to which he will be subjected Captain Clark probably will be the last witness be- fore the Admiral is heard, but his statement, it is expected will be com paratively brief.
 There was an unusually long list or witnesses in court at the beginning of to1days session, for the purpose O. correcting their testimony and after they had been disposed of another long list for today was presented The first new witness was James S Hare. who, as q photographer for an illustrated weekly newspaper witness ed and made photographs of the bat tie of July 3. William l.. Hill. who was chief boatswain on the Brooklyn. during the Cuban campaign and who has especial charge of the work of coaling. followed him.
 Other witnesses called for today were Franklin T. Applegate. a gunner on the Brooklyn; Major Paul St G. Murphy, who was in command of the marines of the flying squadron, and whose headquarters was on the Brook lyn; Lieutenant-C Commander c. H. Harlow, who was executive officer of the Vixen and who wrote an accoun; of the battle of July 5, in which 1t is claimed alterations were made befor- it was officially published; Lieutenant F. w.
