Terrible Loss of Life and Personal Injury Caused By a False Alarm of Fire. TRAGIC SCENE IN TUE VESTIBULE. TRFORMAXCB AT ROBISSOS'S OPEBA HOUSE, CINCINNATI THE BCDD8N PANIC 178 CACSE HORBIBLE SCENE ON THE NARROW STAIRS LISTS CF THE KILLED AD 15 JUBKD. Cincinnati, 0 Feb. 5. Daring the perform auce of the allegory of the Great Republic at Robinson's Opera House this evening a portion ot the pillars supporting the gallery gave way prtclpit&tlng a number of occupants upon the balcony below. At this writing it is not known whether any were killed, though there is a rumor tnai tnree persona received fatal Injuries. Nearly tlx hundred school children took part in the allegory and the audience was mostly compoiid o: parents and relatives of the participants. LATER.' The latest reliable report Irom the opera house disaster is that one woman was killed outright and a number of children seriously If not fatally Injured in the tampede of the vast audience to get to tue doors, it seems that there la no foun datlon lor the report of the gallery fall In?, but that the stampede was caused by an -alarm of lire carelessly raised by a mischievous boy in the gallery. It is almost Impossible to obtain reliable detail of the disaster, as tbe streets for squares are niieu with anxious rnendu and rel atives. ; . - - STILL LATER. it is now understood mat six persons were killed in the stampede. Four names have been ascertained, viz: Mrs. Henry Kessler, Mrs. Nancy Clark, Haltie Leslie and Harry White Between fifteen and twenty were Injured. The allegory of tbe Great Republic, darin J the per form an ce of which occurred the terrible disaster this afsernjon, has been upon the b tage of Robinson's Opera House for the past two nights under the auspices of the Cincinnati Relief Union. The proceeds were to be applied to the relief of the ftud'ering poor ot the city. The perlormers, numbering nearly six hundred children, were taken from tbe pub ic schools of the city and, as the object wai a worthy one and those who took part children of old residents of the city, vast audiences were prej-ent at each presentation of the allegnry. The weather this afternoon being propitious ujud there being no fre8lon of the public schools, the matinee andiene?, in moat part, ws composed of women and children. About half past 2 o'clock, while tbe Kreat house was intensely packed and the thousands of cklldren among the audience were at the height of their enjoyment, tome toy In the gallery, either through michief or Ignorance. rals3d the cry of tire as the red tight from he colored flres used In the piece flatbed out from the wings. Every Inch of the theater wss occupied and a dense crowd wa preKbicg nl surging about tbe staircases and In front of the doors. Some one In tbe andleuce took up the cry of fire, and it was re-echoed from near the dcor by some one who caught a glimpse of tha BED GLK FROM THE ST AOS. , There was an Immediate rush fx the front doors. A child was pushed down the steps asd screamed. Immediately after this a man thrust his arm through a window, and the scream and the crash was enough to set tbe panic in full force. The scene was a terrible one In the narrow vestibule leading to the street. The people In the rear, mad with fear, pressed upon those In front, shouting and curs' ng. Men, terroratrlcken, struck down helpless women and children la front, or climbed over their heads to the top of the staircase and precipitated themselves upon t&e screaming and bleeding m&ss of children -and women iu the hall war. The scene in and about the opera house after tbe accident was heart-rending. The news of the catastrophe spread like wild fire over tbe city, and from every direction came people harrying to tbe scene until the squares were Impassable. There are many conflicting stories as to the origin cf the panic. The onildlBg was filled from parquette to gallery wlm a dense mass, who rot only filled all the seats and aisles but crowded the stairways, and hundreds were outside seeking to Rain admission. Benlnd the scenes were five hundred school children who were to take part In the performance which consisted of an allegory of the republic. Aa the lime approached for the -commencement of exercises, a calci am light in the gallery flashed Its glare upon the stage and Immediately a cry of fire was raised, the audience became panle stricken and a rush was made lor the stairways. Home are said to have leaped from tue balcony upon the crowd beiow. The lower circle of the kouse is bat a few steps above the level of the street bat the step re narrow and soon became - - .. t - ....... BLOCKED BY THK SURGING CROWD, Inside the house multitudes -were pressing for the doorway and In the panle women and children were overthrown and trampled to death by tbe panic stricken crowd. Tbe scene beggars - description. The alarm rapidly spread throughout the city and those who had wives or children there hurrlsd forward to their rescue. A few herole men placed tnemaelves near tbe doorway and endeavored to assure the people that theie was no danger, and an effort was made from the sfas to caeck the mad career of the affrighted audience, but ? diet was not restored until a number were trampled to death and many were seriously Injured. Those able to walk at once made their way homeward, those more seriously injured were taken to the Ninth street station house and to the Commercial Hospital, and the dead were gathered In one of tbe offices of the opera house. Up to 9 to-night the following bad been reported killed and Injured : Mrs. Alfred White and her son Harry, aged 12; Mrs. Nancy Clark, reported to have died from heart disease, caused by excitement;

A T0ICE FßOJI THE TOMBS. JEFFERSON DAVIS'S VIEWS. A Letter uoon the Treatment or Prisoners of War on both Sides. BLAINL'3 CHARGES DENIED. DAVIS SMOKED OUT AT LAST HIS RESPECTS PAID TO BLAISE THE ASSWEB TO THE CHARGES HB OOK8 INTO THE MATTER IN CONSIDERABLE DETAIL. Washington, D. C, Feb. 6. Jefferson Davis has written the following letter to Jadge Lyons, of Richmond, Va.: New Orleans, January 27. To tbe lion. James Lyons: Mr Dear Friend Your very kind letter of the 1 4th Inst, was forwarded frcm Memphis and haa been received at this place. 1 have been so long the object of malignant slander and the subject of unscrupulous lalaehood by partisans ot the class of Mr. Blaine that, though 1 can not say It has become to me a matter of Indifference, it has ceased to excite my surprise, even in thla Instance, wh n It reaches tbe extremity ct accusing me of cruelty to prisoners. W hat matters it to one wboee object is personal and party advantage that the records, both federal and confederate, disprove tbe charge, that the country is full of witneesee who bear oral testimony against It, snd that the effort to revive the bitter animosities of the war obstructs tbe progress toward the reconciliation of tbe sections, it ia enough for him if bis self-seeking purpose be promoted. It would, however, seem probable that such expectation must be disappointed, for only those who are wilfully blind can fail to appreciate in tbe circumstances of the case the fallacy of Mr. Blaine's statements The published fact of an attempt to suborn Wlrs, while under sentence of death, by promising pardon if he would criminate me in regard to the AndersonvMe prisoners, la conclusive as to the wish of the government to make such a charge against me, and tbe failure to do so sbowa that nothing could bj found to sustain it. May we not say that the evidence of my innocence was such that Holt and Conover, with their trained band of suborned witnesses, dared not make against me thla charge which Wlrz, for bis life, would not make, but which Blaine, for a presidential nomination, has made now. Let us review the leading facts of the case. The report of the confederate commander for the exchange of prisoners shows how persistent and liberal were our efforts to secure the relief of the captives. Falling in those attempts I Instructed Ueneral R. K. Lee to go under a flag of ti uce, and seek AN INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL GRANT to represent to him the suffering and death of the federal prisoners held by ns, to explain the causes that were bsyond our control and to urge In the name of humanity the observance of the cartel for the exchange of prisoners. To this, as to all previous appeals, a deaf ear was turned. 1 will not attempt from memory to write the reports made to me ol the incidents of this mission. Lee la no longer alive to defend the cause and country be loved so well and served so efficiently, but Ueneral Urant can not fall to remember so extraordinary a visit, and bis objection to executing the cartel, as they are well-known to the public, but who ever else may choose to forget my efforts in this regatd, the prisoners at Anderson ville and the delegates 1 permitted them to send to President Liucoln to plead for the resumption of the exchange of prisoners can not fail to remember how willing I was to restore tbem to their homes and to the comforts of which they were so in need, provided the Imprisoned soldiers of the confederacy should be in a like manner released and returns! to as. This foul accusation, though directed especially agilnt me, was no doubt Intended to be and naturally must be, the arraignment of the South, by wht.se authority and la whose behalf my deeds were done. It may be presumed that the feelings and the habits of the Southern soldiers wero understood by me and in that connection any fair mind would perceive In my congratulatory orders to the army after a victory, ia which the troops were most c mmended for their tenderness and generosity to the wounded and other captives, as well as for the instincts of tbe persons who issued tbe order as the knightly tempers of the soldiers to whom it was addressed. It is admitted that the pris oners in onr bands were not as well provided for as we wonid iixe to navenaa teem, out it is claimed that we did as well for them as we could. Can the other side tay as much? To tbe bold allegations of the ill treatment of prisoners by our side and the humane treatment and adequate supplies of our opponents, it is only necessary to tfler TWO FACTS. First, It appears from the reports of the United States war department that, though we had 60,000 more fedeial prisoners than they bad con federates, six thousand more of the confederates died In Northern prisons; second, tbe want and suffering of the men in Northern prisons cause I me to ask for permls sloa to send out cotton and buy supp'les orf tbem. The request was granted, but only on the condition that the cotDn should be sent to New York and the supplies be bought there. Uen. Beat, now of St. Louis, was authorized to purchase and distribute tbe needful supplies. Our sympathy rose with the occasion and responded to its demands, not waiting for ten years, then to vaunt itself when it could serve no good purpose to the sufferers under tbe mellowing Influences of time and the occasional demonstrations at the North of a desire for the restoration of peace and good will. Tbe Southern people have forgotten much, hare forgiven mach of the wrongs they bore. If it be less so among their Invaders, it is but another example of tbe rule that the wrongdoer Is less able to forgive than he who has suiflered causeless wrong, it is not, nowever, gen rally amon those who braved the hazards of Dame tnai unrelenting vinaictiven ess l to oe found, tne brave and generous and gentle. It is , the skulkers of the fight. the Blalnes, who display their nag on an untenetd field. They made uo sacrifices to prevent tbe separation of tne atalea. Why should tbey be expected to promote the conn dence and good will essential to anion? When cl. Jtely confined at Fortress Monroe, I was so licited to add my name to those of manv es teeased gentlemen wbo had signed a petition for my pardon, and an assurance was given that cn my doing so the president would older my liberation. Confident of the justice of our cause and the rectitude of our own conduct, I declined to sign tbe retition and remained sub Ject to the Inexcusable PRIVATIONS AND TORTURES which Dr. Craveu has but faintly described. When, after two years of close confinement, I was admitted to bail, aa often aa required I appeared for trial under the Indictment found against me, but In which Mr. Blaine's fictions do not appear. Tbe indictment waa finally quashed on .no application of mine, nor have I ever evaded or avo'ded trial on any charge the general government might choose to bring agalnat me. and nave no view ' of the future, which makes It desirable to me to be included In an amnesty bill. viewed in an abstract or aa a general question. I would be alad to see the repeal o( all laws lanlctmor tbe penalty of political disabilities on classes of people, that it might, as prescribed by tne con atitution, be left to tbe courts to decide the cause and a mi tha penalty according; to legislation. Tbe discrimination against our people is unjust and Impolitic. If the fact be equality and the purpose be fraternity among the citizens of the United btatee, eon victlon and sentence without a bearing and without Jurisdiction, and the affixing of penalties by expoet facto legislation ara a part of tbe proceeding which had its appropriate close in the assumption by congress of the executive function - of granting paraons. Toe removing or comical aisaimiIlea, which there was no legal power to impose, was not an act of so much grace as to lorm a plausible pretext for the reckieis diatribe of Mr. Blaine.

Imprisonment Is i - A HARD LOT AT BEST, and prisoners are prone to exaggerate their snfferlngs, and such was probably tbe case on both tides. Bet we did not seek, by reports of commissioners with photographic illustrations, to Influence the passions of the people. How was it with our enemy? Let one example suffice. Ton may remember tbe published report of a committee of the United States congress, rent to Annapolis to vls't some exchanged prisoners, and which had appended to it photographs of some emaciated subject- which were offered es sample of the prisoners returned from the South. When a copy of the report was received, 1 sent to Col. Onld, the commissioner for tbe exchange of prisoners, and 'earned, as I anticipated, that the photographs had been taken from men wbo were In onr hospitals, when they were liberated for exchange, and who the post surgeon regarded as convalescent, but too weak to be removed with safety. The anxiety of 1 be prisoners to be sent to their homes bad prevailed over theotjeclions of the surgeon, tut this 1 not all. For I have recently learned from a priest, who was there at Annapolis, that tbe most wretcbeuly-looking of these photograph was taken from a man wbo bad never been a prisoner, but who bad been left on a sick list at Annapolis when the command to which he ws attached had passed that place on Its southward march. Whatever may be said In extenuation ef such imposture, because of tbe exigencies of war, there can be no sneh excuse now for tbe attempt of Mr. Blaine by gross misrepresentation and slanderou accusa tion to revive the worst passions or war and it is to be hoped that, much as the event Is to be regretted, it will have the good effect of evoking truthful statements in regard to this little understood subject from men who would have preferred Co leave tbeir sorrowful stories untold, if the sub ject could have been allowed peacefully to eink into oblivion. Mutual respect is neearai lor a common interest and is essential to a friendly feeling, and when slander 1 heard irom hlh places, tbe public welfare demands that the truth r hould strip falsehood of its power for evil. I am respectfully and truly your friend, Jefferson Davis. THE SPHINX SPEAKS. Henry C. Bowen Replies to White and Beards Plymouth Church In Her Den. HIS OPINION OF BEECHER. HB REVIEWS THE CASE WHAT HE HAS HEABD PEOPLE SAY TILTON's CHARGE VEBY OLD HIS CONCLUSION. New York, Feb. 4. To-night Mr. Henry C. Bowen presented a letter to the examining com mit tea or Plymouth Caurch, in answer to the grievances of Mr. 8. V. White, a member of the said committee. He commences by say ing that the church once unanimously acquitted him of slandering the pastor. At that time he was charged with talking too mach. Now the charge was that he was talking too little. His silence was based upon the tripartite agreement to bury the past and keep fcilent in the future. He relates the substance of his interviews with Mr. White, and says: "I felt at first, as I do now, that Mr. White, the examining committee and Plymouth Church could be better employed In investigating the direct charges against tne pastor, made in the plainest language, charges embracing the crimes of adultery and perjury, rather than in t-klr mi suing about in new fields to see if a few more persona could not be Kcaied, or In ibme way drawn or driven into the difficulty. In my more than 25 years connection with Plvmcutn Church, l have heard many a sad story from many a sad heart, some for lo-s of property, some lor the loss or tneir dearest earthly friends, and some for tbe loss of charac ter, a greater loss than all. May Uod forgive me ifl have ever done wrong in listening to o-e single case thus presented. But for this doing ana mat oniy, l assert, i nave neen unceremonious'y summoned to appear before this committee, and 1 here and now most solemnly declare that mere is no other basis for Mr. White's grievances against me. Whether he will have other grievances aealnst : me. after heat in? me at this time, remains to be seen. ' But let me now ask a lew questions, who comes hereto quote words of Blander which 1 bae ever uttered against the pastor? Who Fays that 1 have ever once in any way, except by silence, injured him? Let me ask, has Henry Ward Beecher any charges against mer if bo, has ne ever brought them before this committee? others, as you know, nave in rtne plainest fc.ngusn charged Mr. Beecher with both adultery and perjury. They have challecged an lnvestiga tion in court or council, ana HARDLY A WHISPER has been heard in reply . Where was the valiant Mr. White all this time! Where Is he now? Dare tbe gentleman, or any of you, summon these accusers into a court of Justice and there demand the evidence on which these charges of adultery and perjury against Mr. Beecher are made? If he Is absolutely Innocent why do you not act as if you believed it, and thus put an end to this horrible scandal? If he is a pure man here is the straight road out of all the difficulty. You have, unfortunately, ia my opinion, chosen a dinerent course. Mr. White says that there Is one too many In Plymouth church at one end or the other. He does not state that at one end of the church Btands a man openly charged with adultery, perjury and hypocrisy, and at the other end a man charged only with the mere grievance of silence. He does not propose to arraign and faithfully try one! charged with the awful crime of adultery, but to drag before you a man wbo by silence baa actually led people to believe that be did know something about Mr. Beecher. Such evidence of Justice, impartiality, brotherly lo and fair dealing I commend to your respectful consideration. I was long ago told that it was the teeret intention of Plymouth Church to destroy me. if possible, and thatl was. In any event, to be driven from its communion. 1 could not then believe this, but it now appears that others had better information than myself. For more than a year past It has been evident to me and others that this serious threat would, sooner or later be put Into execution. But bow was this to be done? Tbe following tells tbe whole story: From that day to this I have been wickedly and malignantly assailed in my business affairs. Ail sorts of crimes and misdemeanors have been charged or hinted at, and 1 have been beld up to the world as a man totally unworthy of retpect or public confidence. JCvery one of these charges or Insinuations I pronounce totally false and their authors slanderers, and I HEREBY CHALLENGE PLYMOUTH church to appoint its own committee to investigate openly and rigorously my words and my deeds, either in or out of the church, from the day of my birth to the present hour. Iam ready for trial. I do not propose now to give in detail the facta which have come to my knowledge, or incidents, disclosures, and confidential communications which have, from time to time, been presented or communicated to me In regard to the character of Henry Ward Beecher, to his dishonorable conduct In business affairs, to bis treacherous treatment of friends, to his breaking of written covenants, to bis untruthful statements In court, to bis dodging all through the investigations Into his conduct and character, to his stolid Indifference when unjust charges and malicious slanders liave been thrown out against particular members of his church, to his recent contradictory utte-ances in regard to what he characterized as a hodge 'podge oouncll, composed of wolves and fox es like Dr. Btorrs and Baddinztoni, which council stone time, be said, he b-d never positively objected to, but In regard to which he did on another occasion positively say, "I wont. I . V . 7- . . I.V. . It .. ...... .In at his coarse abuse and slanderous charges of perjary, uttered boldly and publicly in his own lecture room against au honest Christian woman wbo had dared, as she alleged, to speak the truth concerning him. With this brief reference to the matters which have had an Influence in forming my Judgment, I will now hasten to tell you irankly my conclusions in regard to the character of the pastor of Plymouth Church. I have known Mr. Beecher quite lntlms tely since the day of his ar rival in Brooklyn, x nave neen acquainted wnn him socially and privately, la church and in family, in business matters and in religious matters. I have heard attentively, but with

' I proiound grief, what has beet said to mo con

i noenuauy against him. J have feu? tt rr i t-i-t HEART -fcTIBBED' TO rrVlEPTH l for dearmends whov-yearsrbefore theyfesenl scandal was published, sorrowfully begged my counsel, as ttey assured me that their pastor and mine had craftily betrayed - the sanctity of homes, the very charge long afier presented to me by Theodore Tillon la regard to his own .home. 1 never can or will be ba'e enough in a. low a single name to be bruited before the wcrtd, although I am now ready to testify to the essential J acts before any. proper tri bunaL Thea.1 disclosures I heard with a sad heart and tt led to accept the evidence brought to me that!., üeecherwaa grief stricken and reni tent. I iave rad much that has been said for and agahnst Mr. Beecher In the public press. I have, wlvb utter amazement, read and re-read. and ponde.'ed over bis published letters and written confessions in regard to the serious accusations made against him. 1 have tried to weigh ail tbe evidence which baa come before me with jadielat fairness and Christian hones y. I have' read withering charges which have been published to the world against him. I have seen those charges again and again horied at him. and he oak ml v and boidlv chal lenged to appear before any Impartial tribunal to meet them. I have seen him, with all this cloud o I darkness gather! n about him. appar ently defying public opinion, defying the advice o; his old, life-long friends, embracing tne soundest, ablest and best clergymen in the coun try, ana seemingly defying, again and again, the very Uod of Heaven himself to cast him down. Now. being sum-! moned here to speak and to speak the truth, the hole truth and nothing but the truth, 1 solemWiy give Has my unwav ering opinion, in vlewc: all the facta and evidences presented to me, that the Rev. Henry Ward beecher. without even a shadow of a doubt in my mind, is guilty ef the awful crimes oi aauiteiy, perjury and nypocrisy. This, I say again, and before the bar of this committee, is n.y deliberate opinion and 1 may be permitted to affirm that I give it calmly, without malice and with no other than a sincere desire to do my duty faithfully to Uod and to man, to the church and to the world. (Signed,) Henry CV Bowen, Brooklyn, Feb . 4, 1876. . - itEPLT OY THE CHURCH. " The examining committee of Plymouth Church haa framed a letter to Mr. Bowen. in whloh he is summoned to appear before the committee on Taesday evening next, and give proor oi tne assertions contained in bis reply to the grievances of Mr. White., . .. . Everybody should be careful to give prompt attention and . rational treatment to a severe Cold or a racking Cough aa these are commonly the chief primary symptoms of a disordered state of the Lungs, . involving a tendency to develop Into a settled Consumption. Persons of a delicate constitution, or those having weak or unsound Lungs, should be especially solicitous to treat the earliest symptoms of a cold, In order to head off more dangerous complications; prudently keep by you, therefore, Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, that you may administer at once a Judicious curative, during the first stages of any Throat or Lung disorder, for not only are special symptoms of these complaints more tractable and easily controlled then, but the general strength and tone of the 8 j stem has no; had time to be seriously affected, and is therefore more amendable to the recuperative and healing properties of tbe Expectorant. A little attention to what may seem a trifling cold may save you from tbe late of a lingering Consumptive.
