London, Jan. 11. —The Times, on the htirn- , ing t>f the NewhaM House, at Milwaukee, says: “It is a reproach and a shame to modern intelligence that nearly a hundred lives were lost in sight of a crowd eager to aid, from want of effective mechanical appliances.” PANIC IN A THEATER. Narrow Kneape from a Seri our Calamity in the Union Square Theater. New York, Jan. 13.—The New York Times reports that there was a slight panic in the Union Square Tiieater last night, owing to a musician’s instrument case taking fire from a gas jet under the stage near the door by which the musicians enter the orchestra in the second act of “A Parisian Romance.” The pungent smoke from the burning case was forced into the auditorium and several persons moved uneasily in their seats. The first persons to leave their seats were the Misses Lawrence, of the New York Hotel. The theater was packed, and the hurried movements of Miss Lawrence caused the people to rise and exclaim, “What is the matter?” Mr. A. M. Palmer, who waa in the stage-box, called out, “Be still, or you’l lose your seats; there is nothing the matter. The smoke is from a fire they are lighting next door.” Mr. Richard Mansfield, who was on the stage in the role of Baron Chevrial, also reassured the people and the ushers sprang to the exits. In the struggle to reach the doors oue lady who was terrible crushed, was heard to faintly moan, “My God! My God!” and fainted. Some persons in boxes cried out that all was right, and the audience became somewhat assured. The lady who wi sin the struggling mass begged a man who was ferociously beating his way to the door not to hurt her. He replied: “I saw the Brooklyn theater fire; don’t talk to me, it was gone in five minutes.” This cry recalled to the minds of nearly all that the Union Square management had possession of the Brooklyn Theater on the night when it was destroyed by fire. Officer Charles Hanley, of the Mercer-street Station, was in the gallery when the alarm began, and a man shouted “Fire!’* and attempted to leave the theater. The officer seized him and forced him into his seat, and shouted to the people upstairs that there was no fire, and that they must keep their seats; the panic was over in a minute. About twentyfive persons went into the theater lobby, One lady fainted there; she recovered, and went back with other* to the theater to witness the performance, which was continued. The only damage done bv the gas jet was to the musicians’ instrument case. It was fortunate that tiie instrument case was of cedar, as the pungent odors from it ,rc: immediately detected. Officer Hanley sent for Officer Varnesdon. who was at the Germania Theater, but when he arrived his services were not needed, as the people were going back to their seats. The fireman at the tiieater did not think it necessary to send out an alarm.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. BOOTH IN GERMANY. He Is Complimented by the Germany Press Generally us a Great Actor. Berlin, Jan. 12.—A1l the papers this morning comment on Booth’s performance of Ham’et last night. The National Zeitung eulogizes the actor’s careful study and effects, and considers that he does not obtrude his American ityThe Tageblatt says; “The strange effect of the polyglot performance was soon removed by the interest in the chief impersonation. We soon found that we were in the presence of one of the chief masters of dramatic art. His Hamlet is of commanding nobleness, and will long be remembered. The Vossische Zeitung says: “The impersonation was full of life and spirit. It exhibited by turns deep pathos and the finest irony.” The Liorsen Courier, in similar strain, says the impersonation is a perfect living whole, one part of which appears to be a necessary complement to the other. The Boraen Zeitung says: “In eloquence and gesture Booth stands on the same level with Rossi and Salvini, and perhaps surpasses them in the minute power of suggesgestion. The Grown Prince Frederick William has intimated his intention to come again to witness Booth's performance.” The Reichs-Anzeiger says: “Booth showed himself a grand tragedian. lie possesses gifts which carry the audience with him.” GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

SENSATIONAL ABDUCTION A St. Lou is Young Lady Chloroformed and Held for Hansom. Sho Is Finally Returned to Her Friends Unharmed by the Villains Who Perpetrated the Outrage. St. Louis, Jan. 12.—There is great excitement here over the disappearance Miss Zeralde Garrison, a young girl seventeen years of age, remarkable for her beauty, and one of the belles of the city. She was last seen alone last Saturday, when a little after 1 o’clock she left the residence of her uncle, O. L. Garrison, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Norris, and came down town to the corner of Fifth and Olive streets. She there took a street car for the Wild Hunters, at the terminus of the car line, in the extreme southern part of the city. The conductor of the car remembers her distinctly. When she got off the car at Wild Hunters, she asked to he directed to the Convent of the Sacred Heart, which is only a half dozen blocks away. Since then Miss Garrison has not been seen or heard of. The conductor noticed on the car platform four rough-looking men of the hoodlum stamp, and they commented during the journey on Miss Garrison’s handsome appearance, ami said she was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen on the cars. It is supposed these men had something to do with the disappearance of the young lady, and most horrible suspicions are aroused. Miss Garrison was returning to the convent to pursue her studies. She had not returned since the Christmas holidays, having been detained by visits of friends. She had been studying there for over a year. She always made the journey to the convent in a carriage, but her uncle’s horses were lame Saturday, and so sue decided to go in the street car. Her disappearance was not known to the family or the police until yesterday afternoon, as her relatives thought she was at the con vent, and the sisters at the convent thought she was at home. Zeralde Garrison is a daughter of Mrs. Abram Garrison, and lives at Kirkwood, a suburban town twelve miles out. Mr. O. L. Garrison, secretary of the St. Louis Steel and Ore Company, is her uncle, and she is a relative to Commodore Garrison. Detectives since yesterday have been following every clue but without avail. Zeralde Garrison was only seventeen, but as well developed as a girl of twenty-one. She is strikingly handsome, has brown hair and eyes full of expression and life. Her complexion is fair, and she is graceful in carriage and stylish in appearance. She weighs about 135 pounds. AM night detectives and Chief of Police Campbell have been searching the vicinity of the convent for a clue, but in vain. Men from tho Vulcan Steel-works, not far away, aided in the search. This morning a sergeant of police and a squad of men examined all the ground, but without result. Mrs. Abram Garrison, the mother of the girl, has not yet beeu told of her dbapjiearance. Relatives have no theory, but feel sure that foul play has been practiced. The excitement in the city is intense, and the probable fate of the jioor girl is the universal theme of conversation. The police are actively at work, but so far their efforts have resulted in nothing. The Sacred Heart Convent is a noted Catholic educational institution, situated about five miles south of the center of the city, and enjoys a high reputation. The vicinity of the Convent is very sparsely settled. later information. There is reliable authority for stating that the Garrisons have received information of Miss Zeralde Garrison’s whereabouts, and are convinced that she is safe and alive. They are very reticent, and are now, at Br. m., closeted at Mr. O. L. Garrison’s office with detectives. It is stated that a ietter was received at the Garrison mansion, informing them that the girl was held for money, and that the writer would be glad to make an appointment to treat for her delivery. A gentleman member of the family stated that a telegram had also been received dated at a point twelve or fifteen miles south of St. Louis, stating that Miss Zeralde was alive, safe and in St. Louis. Relatives of the young lady now show' by their demeanor that they believe she is safe and will SOO4I he restored to them, but they will give no information except to say: “All will be cleared up by morning,” before which time they expect Miss Zeralde to return. Detectives are at work, and it is almost certain that the mystery will be solved in the next twelve hours. Members of the family would not state the name of the place from which the telegram came.
THE YOUNG LADY FOUND. At 10 o’clock the Post-Dispatch published an extra, which sold like wild fire, as the excitement in the city was great. The extra contained the following: “At 9 o’clock this evening Mr. Oliver Garrison called at the office of the Post-Dispatch to report in person that Miss Garrison had been found during the evening, and is now at the house of her uncle on Pine street. He does not think she suffered any violence at the hands of her abductors other than being chloroformed on Saturday last, when the ruffians obtained possession of her person. That she was chloroformed, however, is absolutely certain, though Miss Garrison has quite lost her memory about the manner and place of the occurrence. The young lady was returned this evening by one of the ruffians himself, who had probably become alarmed at the great excitement of the public and the probability of his punishment The young lady is suffering from the chloroform and the great previous shock of confinement, but is not seriously ill. Two of the ruffians have already been arrested. They belong to a notorious gang of Carondelet hoodlums. PARTICULARS OF THE FINDING. Miss Garrison was found and returnd to the home of her uncle, O. L. Garrison, between 8 and 9o’clock to-night. The young lady’s statement is, briefly, that, w'hile on her way from the street railroad to the convent, sho was accosted by tw'o men, one of whom wanted her to go up town with them. She refused, saying that she was going to school, whereupon one man threw a handkerchief saturated with chloroform over her face, and she became insensible. She did not return to full consciousness until Sunday morning, when she found herself in a comfortably furnished third-storv room, in to her a strange part of the city. She was attended by a middle-aged woman who treated her kindly. The two men visited her sev eral times and tried to prevail upon her to write to her relatives, stating that she would be released for money. This she refused to do until yesterday, when she sent a brief postal saying that she was in the city and safe, but could not give her whereabouts. This afternoon one man, in whose custody the young lady was, visited the residence of Mr. Garrison, and stated to the ladies present that lie knew where Miss Garrison was, and would produce her for SSOO. The ladies said they could do nothin? in the matter then, but if lie would return in an hour or so they would have somebody there who would treat with hiui. He left, and the ladies immediately telephoned Mr. O. L. Garrison ai liis office down town, telling him what had occurred. Mr. D. K. Furguson and E. A. Hitchcock, two old friends of the family, at once jumped
into a carriage and went out to thehou.se, stopping on their way at the police statoil and taking tw'o detectives. On their arrival near the house the detectives alighted and went to the rear to watch that part of the premises, while Mr. Ferguson and Hitchcock entered in front. The man had returned and renewed his proposition to Mr. Ferguson, who took him in his carriage and drove to 719 Washington street, where the man said Miss Garrison was secreted. Arriving at this place, it was discovered that the young lady had been sent to the police sub-station, u couple of blocks away, where she was found by Mr. Ferguson and taken to her uncle's house. The detectives had followed Mr. Ferguson’s carriage, and as soon as the man who had proposed to restore Miss Garrison to her friends saw them, he recognized them, and before Mr. Ferguson could give any directions he disappeared, and has not yet been arrested. The detectives did not know the mau, but from all the circumstances in the case there is no doubt that he is a criminal, and that the abduction of Miss Garrison was a deliberately concocted scheme to obtain money from her relatives in the way of ransom. No harm was done to the young lady, and no violence of any kind offered or threatened, the object of the men being, evidently, to lead her gradually along and use her in opening negotiations with her relatives. The woman at whose house Miss Garrison was kept is a widow named Fanny Levy, and so far as ascertained at this writing is not known to the police as belonging to the criminal class. Great relief is feit at the restoration of the young lady, and excitement which ran pretty high during the day is greatly allayed. Notes by Wire.
