T1IK CITY.

THE OPERA HOUSE DEATH TRAP AND THE CHIMPANZEES WHO BUN IT

Resure and hear Lawrence Barrett tonight in "Vorrick's Love." The hue and cry that i* raised about the danger in the iprra house Is all bosh. This is well understood: also the motives that prompt the hullabaloo.— Express.

This is just about as mighty an argument as the Express is capable of making. We wonder how that papor could possibly master enough brains to make such a clincher. "The hue and cry that is raised about the danger in the Opera house is all bosh." Is it possible that the Express has never read the report of the committee that was appointed by the city council in December 1876? That report i« as follows: the Mayor and (Summon Council:

It) compliance with a resolution adopted by the council, December 13th, 1870, your committee on public improvements in connection with the chairman of the committee on water and a majority of the lire committee.' have examined the public buildings in the city of Terre Haute as to means of escape in case of fire, and beg leave to submit the following report for your consideration: "The Opera House, corner of Fourth and Main streets, was the first building lo claim our attention. Of said building your committee desire to say, they do not consider mid building secure against loss of life in casts of fire! and would recommend 1st: That the Terre Haute Opera House Company, or their agent, be required to convert the three windows Immediately in front of their ticket office into a door or doors, with a suitable flight of stairs to empty the first floor of said building in case of tire, 2d: That'they be required to protect their foot lights with a wire cap In addition to the glass chimneys now tn use. 3d: That they be required to lay water works Into said Imllding and erect a water plug, and that they purchase a sufficient amount of hose to reach any part of said building, and that said hoseW at all times connected with said fire plug in said building, and that the necessary tools be provided for opening said fire plug at any and all times.

The fourth refers to the employment of police. fith: VVe would recommend that the stairways in the rooms occupied by HoI'era. Hoot A Co.. Frank Si Rothschild and Mr. Dooley, IK? eased up with iron instead of light pine Inmlwr, as is now the ease.

All of which Jis {most respwtfully sub'mitted C. M. CARTKH, L. O. HAUKK,

P. C. MOHAN.

On motion of Mr Hmith, the above re }Hrt was adopted unanimously. Now it resolves itself into a question between the Rrprr** and Jthe committee who made the examination, and upon «heir report the cit^v council in March lf*79 adopted the following ordinance beause of it being such a death trap. .IH (nii»it*c* jmr*mding for umim* of

Citg

Adt*pt«d MbrrA 10,1879.) Section 1. Be It ordained by the Commm» Council of the City of Terre Haute, that it shall be unlawful for the owner or owners or agent for the renting of any building within the limits of the City of Terre Haute, to let the same to any per v«n or persons for the purpose of holding •tnv theatrical and other exhibition or public shows, for which money la demanded or received, until the said own or. owners, or agent, shall have filed with the Citv Clerk a certificate of the Board «»f Ihiblic Improvements of said City, that Mid owner, owners, or agent have provided means of rgraoi from said build ins *H«fju-torv to the said Board, and

anv one violating the provisions of th» Ordinance, shalf. upon conviction before the Mayor of said city, be lined fifty dollars and costs for the ftrat offense, and one hundred dollars for each succeeding offense.

SEC. 2. Whereas, an emergency exists for the Immediate taking effect of this Ordinance, therefore, the same shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and publication.

We do not propose to let this matter go with a passing notice. We don't propose to let George P. Bissell and his sleek haired cubs entice hundreds of people into such a death trap. We don't propose to see hundred s|of men, women and children burned because of the neglect of any duty on our part. The people of Terre Haute have put^up with the mismanagement of George Bissell and his brainless curs just as long "as they intend to, and they propose now to make him conform to the law. lie has got to do it and he might as well make up his mind now. People uf Ter re Haute have been insulted by his brain less curs in the management of the Opera house affaire. They place themselves in death trap every time they enter it. Outside of the danger people don't like the big sleek manager and his brainless cubs to occupy the best seats after having sold them to innocent purchasers. Genii eraen and ladies buy reserved seats and have a lot of chimpanzees to usher them into the august presence of the Opera House crowd.

Our motive in attacking this management is for the preservation of human lift-, and to teach them some idea of common decency.

EDITOR NEWS: I have no desire for making fight through the preafc, but on seeing Mr. Manning's card in your paper, after he was personally pardoned by me, in a public meeting, on his own request, I feel that this exposition is due him. It shows a lack of honor and principle in him to renew this attack, but as I am not one of the dead or wounded the gentle man refers to in his card, I will serve him as the Indian does the skunk, get him mad and let hiw die of his own disgust,

A PowWow.

SAI.T LAKE CITY, May 10.—A brother of the Ute Chief Douglass, with one hundred and fifty White River Indians, men and women, has encamped on Salina creek, near Salina, Utah. The Ute asked a merchant to get them forty kegs of powder. They are well mounted, clothed and equipped, and are evidently here after ammunition. It is remorcd that certain Utah bands are to rendezvous at Salina camp for a pow-wow. Trouble is feared by the people.

THERE is a great deal of talk about Washburne's working behind the scenes against Grant. Now there isnotacinttlla of truth in these assertions, and furthermore, Grant does not believe it. Only a few days ago at Springfield, Illinois, General Grant was shown an article in a St. Louis paper, sfatiug that Washburne was hostile toward him and when the article was shown him he remarked: "I am very sorry to see this, and especially so if my friends had anything to do with it. Mr. Washburne is my friend. He has always been a very warm and skieere friend to me, and was such at a time when his friendship was so valuable to me, no matter what happens, I can never forget it, nor cease to remember it with grati tude." The whole charge is a canard, and there is no truth in it.

The McKecn Boom.

Noblesville Republican.

A strong boom seems to be working un in Western Indiana in the interest ofW. R. McKeen—more familiarly known as "Riley" McKeen—for Governor. Mr. McKeen is president of the Vandalia railroad company, an energetic, pushing business man of unimpeachable chafac ter, and is well and favorably known all over the state.

Chicago has a Mormon church. It is a singular fact that the Mormon missiona ries are able to make proselytes in a country considered to' have the most intelligent people oq the face of the globe, and in which the delusions of Mormon ism have been so frequently exposed, and the shams of the original prophet, Joe Smith, made plain to the commonest un derstanding. That the proselytes of this religious humbug should convert to their faith the ignorant classes of foreign countries is not so surprising, but that they should be able, to do this in a land of churches, bibles, tract societies, colporteurs and oilier means of grace, and to do it, too. right under the noses of orthodox ministers and laity, is an incompre lierisible fact.—Madison Courier.

It is small wonder that Mr. Washburne has traveled a thousand miles from his home for a litte rest. No man ever had more persistent hangers on, determined to disgrace him before the world. He is known as the friend and adviser of Gen eral Grant, and has repeatedly said he is "for him for President, first last, and all the time." No real friend of Washburne will attempt to use him to stab his friend. A majority of the men loud in Mr. Wash burne's praise are not so much friends of his as they are enemies of General Grant.
