During the fire "several peo'ple' frantic"
with terror threw themselves from the
top of the .theatre , and wore dashed
to pieces. . It is clear that the calami
ty was .the result of unpardonable
carelessness. The' gas pipe behind the
scenes had not been repaired or re
newed for the last eleven years , and
an escape of gas , which occurred four
months ago , was temporrrily stopped
with cement the day before the lire.
Another essape of gas was discovered
during the reheanaL Two inexperi
enced plumber's apprentices were left
to attend to it without superintended
or. It is supposed they did their
work imperfectly , and consequently
the .escaped gas concentrated behind
the drops , and as soon as the burners
were lighted in the wings , thavex -
plosion occurred. The meter was .in
stantly turned off , and the theatre
thereby plunged into darkness , hence
the panic and stampede. Very fen
persona were injured , but , the numbei
of deaths was remarkably large. Twc
hundred and fifty people were crowded
into a small gallery with only one
narrow door , which opened into the
ward as a means of egress. The ma-
iority were Nicers or Italians. There

Tne Republican Prlmarlea. .
The republican central committee
met last evening in the office of the
chairman , Col "E. F. Smythe , to 'de
cide upon a time for the primaries and
convention to nominate city officers.
She committee attended iu full
force , except that Mr. Hascall was
substituted for Mr. Mullen in the
Second , Mr. Wo'odworth' for Mr.
Cummings and Mr.-Grandpre for Mr.
Green in the Third , Mr. Goldsmith
for Mr. Kent in the Fourth and Mr.
Rathburn for Mr. Cumings in the
S xth ward.
The firat question , wa to decide th ?
number of delegates to.be sent Tram
each .ward io the convention which
was. quickly agreed npon as seven.
Then the day for the. priamies'-was'
discussed. Evidently the exposure
by Tus BEE last evening of the pro
posed call .of the primaries for this
evening had a wholesome effect , for
after diicuzsing Monday as thaday
for : the primaries , it 'wsa thought wise
to disarm all suspicion and name Tues
day , between the hours of 4 and 7 , aa
the time to hold them.

' Bound Over.
The case of the.State against Par
ker and Sawyer came up before Judge
Hswes Thursday afternoon , the
judge finally deciding to bind the de
fendants over in tbo sum of § 1,000
4ch to appear at the June term.of the
istrict .court , in Douglas county ,
Jounsel for the prisoners declared
iheir intention .to obtain a habeas cor-
> us in supreme court' this week. Un-
osa they should be .released under
hat proceeding they will'be/.hold for
ppearance at the district court.
' , This case is of especial interest to
.he wholesale dealers of Omaha. Par
ker & Sawyer wore merchants in Sa.
iue county and bought goods of Too-
lt & Maul , Steele , Johnson & 0o.
Meyer , Raapke & Co. , and Reed
Jones & Co. , of this city , on credit
These men were leading and influen
l citizens of Saline county and sup
poaed to ba perfectly straight , bu
they sold out aud beat all the firm :
above referred to'out of tha amount o
the respective bills.Suits wore brongh
lnftt them here for faUe pretences
It was sworn that in one instanc
they had shown a travelieg man a cri'
containing 30,000 bushels of corn am
ave him to understand it was the !
'
property. '
There are several technicalities , 01
some of which it is hoped to obtaii
the , habeas corpus. It ia claimed tli
papers were illegally made out , th :
the suit should have been brougli
against them In their own county , an
ttiat Judge Hawea has no jnrlsdictioi
The outcome'Is of direct' interest t
every one of the wholesale dealers.fo
It will settle whethei they have or hat
not any protection against this cla :
of frauds.
