KEW YOBK THEATERS GONE

Flames Wipo Out the Ill-Fated FifthAvenue and Hermann's Play-House, Together Tith a TYhol Block of Adjacent Buildings, Involving a Loss of Half a Million or More. New York, Jan. 2. Eighteen years ago to-day the Fifth-avenue Theater, then in the rear of the Fifth-avenue Hotel, on the Twenty-fourtb-atreet Bide, disappeared in Ha me and smoke. Within a short time after Augnstin Daly had old Apollo II all, where the famous Committee of Seventy had its birth, changed into a play-house. Fifteen minutes or so, to-night, after Fanny Davenport, in the character of Cleops had trod the boards of the Fifth-avenue Theater redevivus and the audience had passed out of the Broadway andTwenty-eighth-street entrances, a vratchman ran out of the theater screaming "fire." A few seconds later fire engines were dashing up Broadway, and until nearly 1 o'clock this morning new detachments were still responding to additional signals for help. What was at first believed to be a false alarm proved to be one that destroyed a -whole block upon Broadway, besides the Fifth-avenue Theater, Herrmann's new play-house, a dozen stores, and threatened the Sturtevant House on the east side of Broadway, between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth streets. Up to this writing, while the fire is yet raging, no lives are known to have been lost. There were a dozen or more narrow escapes, and at one time it was thought that three firemen who were caught upon the roof top would perish. For two of these bravo fellows it was very lucky that a line of hose ran from the roof to the street The daring "ladaies" took advantage of this fact, and when their comrades on the street gave them up as lost they slid down to the street. But the other, a reckless sort of an individual, scorned, it seemed, to escape that way. He stood his ground, and was soon lost ' eight of in the smoke. Ladders were hastily raised. The searchers failed to find McGinnia that was his name but, to the surprise of his comrades, half an hour later the brave man made his reappearance on the street. He bad crawled along the roof until he reached a hatchway, through which he made his escape. The fire had Been burning less than half an hour before the flames shot through the roof, causing the wildest consternation among the guests of the Bro wes House, on the northeast corner, and the Sturtevant House. The shower of sparks which covered the pavement of Broadway also set fire to the awnings of the latter. To add to the confusion, there were six explosions in the Fifth-avenue Theater, which blew burning rafters sky-high, and these set fire to the roofs of the buildings 6urrounoing the burning theaters. While the firemen were powerless to do anything towards saving the play-houses they worked nobly in preventing the destruction of houses in the vicinity of the immense blaze. All the property burned belongs to the Gilsey estate, and the total damage to the building and its contents is roughly estimated at 500,000. Manager Harry Miner was early on the 6cene, as was also Frof. Herrmann. wnue tne iormer saved notning from the wreck, the Professor and his wife worked like beavers. Mrs. Herrmann saved her four pet doves, but her husband sorrowfully said that his favorite trick apparatus worth $20,000, was lost to him forever. The occupants of the stores on the west side of Broadway from Twenty-eighth to Twenty-ninth streets, which number from 1185 to 1203, were as follows: o. 11 N3, J. J. Slater, shoes; No. 1187 was the wide entrance to the Fifthavenue Theater; No. 1189 was occupied by the Cash Register Company; No. 1191, J. B. Crooke & Co., sporting goods; No. 1193, L. Spero. tailor; No. 1105, entrance to Herrmann's Theater; No. 1197, A. E. Kirch, tiorist; No. 11W, J. B. White, jeweler; No. 1201, Wissman, florist, and 1202, II an nan & Son, shoes. The goods in all theso stores were badly damaged by water, and should the walls topple in the salvage will be very small. They are shaky at present, and the firemen, aware of their condition, for safety's sake are working from the opposite side of Broadway and West Twenty-eighth street, and the roofs of the houses to the westward. The first of the series of explosions, which are thought to have been caused by the bursting of gas-tanks, came verynear beinga serious affair, tor a dozen or more firemen, under the leadership of Battalion Chief McCabe, were at that moment working in the auditorium of the Fif th-avenueThcater. They were almost blown into the street with several reporters. At intervals of every few xmnutes explosion , followed explosion. The liremen did not know what was coming next.and they were for the first time in the history of the department more or lest frightened. But they soon rallied. Ladders were raised and thwater towers and several nozzles with "Siamese four ways" -""were doing their best to stay the spread of the fierce flames. The stiff breeze, which was blowing from the northward, got in its fine work, and there was no stopping the fire. It had simply to burn itself out, and to the the chagrin of the lire department. Herrmann's new theater, which has recently been rebuilt at a considerable expense, was found to be afire, after the fourth explosion. In this building, years ago. the San Francisco minstrels Birch, Wambold and Backus kept many an audience in roars of laughter. And the place on the northwest corner of Twenty-eighth street nnd Broadway is well known to the gamblers of twenty years ago. In the basement Johnson kept his pool-room, and it was there John J. Scannel murdered Tom Donohne. The Fifth-avenue Theater, or Old Apollo Hall, famous for politics and plays, was remodeled by Mr. Daly and had been run by Haverly, and at the time of its destruction was being managed by Harry Miner. On Dec 23, last, Fanny Davenport made her first appearance in Sardon's play of "Cleopatra," about the title of which thero is some dispute and legal troubles. The actress has been greeted by largo audiences, and it was expected 'Cleopatra" wonld have a long run. Fannv Davenport's loss is about $."A),000. At 2:15 o'clock the fire in the Sturtevant House is reported to be under control. In half an hour's time the scenery, costumes and properties, worth probably $75,D00, vanished in tire and smoke. It was very lucky, indeed, that the fire did not break out during the performance, for it is claimed that tho play-houses were well patronized. And it seems odd, too, that in soshort space of time the fire could have gained such headway with a watchman inside the building. This is the mystery which Fire Marshal Mitchell will be called upon to solve. And what caused the explosions is another puzzling question for the same oflicial. All the guests in the Sturtevant were aroused when it became apparent that the great caravansary was in danger. They packed up their effects, and, if necessary, were able to move at a moment's notice. Several of the nervous guests wont to tho other hotels, but tho majority remained to witness the great tire. The roof of the hotel was on lire perhaps a dozen or more times, and the awnings in front of trio stores below were all burned off. Still at 3 o'clock the-damage to the hotel was not over $.",,000. According to tho Herald, six firemen lost their lives in the Herman!: Theater. The Herald's story is as follows: hix firemen hid gone through Hermann's theater to tho roof, and bad Inst succeeded in hoisting a length of liosenpwfien tho furnaco opened directly at their feet. Five of them could not be seen from the street, but one stood outlined against the sea of ilame that rose from the burning buildings. A shout

was made for scaling ladders by tho firemen of Broadway, but before they could bo procured the- fireman was seen to tako a farewell look at the crowd below and then to deliberately walk into the flames and disappear. A deadly silence that lasted for a full moment resulted and then a moan of agony arose from tho crowd. ,

Perished in the Flames. Corsicana, Tex., Jan. 2. The Avenue Hotel, a wooden structure near the Cotton Belt depot, burned last night. A woman, two men and a boy were burned to death. One man and the boy are unknown. The other man and the woman, from a letter found in a valise, are supposed to be Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel, from McGregor, Tex. The bodies are held by the city authorities for identification. The firemen made fruitless efforts to save the woman and the men and barely escaped themselves by leaping from a second-story window. Several cars of freight standing on a side-track of the Cotton Belt railway wero burned. The hotel was a total loss. Building fully insured. Loss, 20,000. Other Losses by Fire. Columbus, O., Jan. 2. The large manufacturing establishment of the Ohio Baggy Cdmpany, at Fourth and Naghten streets, was almost destroyed by fire this evening. The flames were discovered, after making considerable headway, in the boiler-room. A brisk wind was blowing and the destroying element spread bo rapidly that for a time the whole section of the city in that vicinity was threatened. The flames were extinguished after three hours' hard battle by the firemen. Half of tho building is a total wreck. The loss aggregates $175,000, being $100,000 on the stock and $75,000 on the building. It is covered by insurance. More than two hundred men are thrown out of employment. Boone, la., Jan. 2. A fire, probably of an incendiary origin, destroyed the general store of Silvester & Statton, at Ogden, eight miles from here, early this morning. The store of M. A. Haas was also badly damaged. Total loss, 150,000; insurance, $12,000. Silvester & Statton have made a voluntary assignment. . Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 2. The stores of Hect & Thorn, general merchants, and W. B. Hanna & Co.. and J. L. Escher, agricultural implements, at Clarence, la., were burned yesterday, with most of their contents. Loss, $35,000; insurance, $15,000. ' Cedar Rapids, la., Jan. 2. Fire at Clarence, yesterday 'afternoon, destroyed the stores of Jlecht & Thorn, Hanna & Co., J. L. Escher & Co. and Heichart's agricultural store. Loss, $35,000; insurance, $15,000. West Newton, Pa., Jan. 2. The Mill Grove papr-mill burned this morning. Loss, $30,000! no insurance. Hardware paper , was manufactured. The mill will not be rebuilt. BLOWN TO ATOMS. Fifteen Miners Killed by an Explosion of Giant Powder in a Magazine. Eagle Pass, Tex., Jan. 2. Word has just been received here of an accident which occurred at the Socobon mines, the property of the Pinoles Mining Company, seven miles from Mopine, Durango, Mexico. Last Monday, at 5 o'clock r. m., fifteen miners catered the nowder-house to 60cure their weekly supplies of giant powder. Each man had received his allowance, when one of the miners, who had been preparing a stick for a cartridge, attempted to secure ' the cap on a defective fuse by the use of his teeth. The cap exploded, when the detonation set on the entire explosive contents of the powder-house, each man's allowance going oft as he happened to be holding it, one on his shoulder, another on his head, etc. The explosion demolished the building and tore most of tho wretched miners to pieces. Twelve were killed outright and the remaining three cannot survive their injuries." The Kozell Murder Trial. Written fur the Indianapolis Journal. " New Castle, Jan. 2, Judge Bundy this morning overruled the State's motion for a continuance in the Kozell murder case and. the trial proceeded. State's Attorney Barnard opened the case with a statement to the jury occupying the entire forenoon. After noon a plat of tho town of Blountsville was placed before the jury, and the location of the Bundy House, where the trouble first began, and other points of interest contiguous thereto were minutely described by James N. Templin, a merchant of the place, and others. A number of witnesses were examined, including Clayton Evans, a cousin of Ladd. Fought at Peoria. Peoria, Jan. 2. George Siddons, of Chicago, and Robert Raymond, of Louisville. Ky., fought a rattling eight-round battle with four-ounce gloves in this city tonight. Dick Roche refereed the fight, and he was kept busy, as the two men started in to demolish each other. Siddons got first blood, but was sent to earth three times by terrible right-handers on the neck. The audience of four hundred people became wildly excited. Siddons agreed to stop Raymond in eight rounds, but failed, and it is thought he would not have lasted two rounds more. Arthur Majesty, of Toledo. O., seconded Siddons, and Sparrow Lewis, of Troy, N. Y., was behind Kas'mond. Lynched for Robbery. Newton, Miss., Jan. 2. Reports from Neshoba coonty state that Mr. Fox, a farmer, while returning from Meridian, where he had sold his cotton, was held up and robbed by a white man named Sharp and a negro named Burnside in a swamp six miles north of Philadelphia. Officers arrested the negro and while conveying him to jail were met by a masked mob, who took tho prisoner out. swung him to a limb and riddled his body with bullets. This occurred Saturday night and it is now rumored that Sharp was captured and mobbed Monday night. Threw Ills Mother Out of the Window. New York, Jan. 2. Win. C. McGowan was locked up on suspicion of having thrown his mother from a fifth-story window, killing her almost instantly. An officer saw the woman fall, at about 11:20 last night, and he ran over to pick her up. As he reached her he heard her murmur: "Oh, I didn't think you'd do that." Then her head fell back, and she died in his arms. Ingalls Returns to Washington. Atchison. Kan.. Jan. 2. Senator Ingalls left for Washington last night, notwithstanding the snow-storm and delayed trains. His departure was hastened by an imperative telegram from Senators Edmunds and Hoar that party necessity demanded his presence in the national capital. Burled by a Falling Wall. CniCAGO, Jan. 2. Tho rear wall of the three-story brick building at Congress and Franklin streets, ocenpied by the Lomax Consolidated Brick Company, collapsed this afternoon, burying, and, it is believed, killing a workman named Hogan, and severely injuting several other persons.

Anybody who speaks of General Harrison as a small man intellectually, or who affects to think that ho is the small man of his administration, simply writes himself down a consummate fool. He is tho first candidate who ever helped his nartv bv making speeches through the campaign, and who has not harmed it by a single word in the first half of his administration, while the Farwells evidently cannot trust their mouths out alone over night Whatever criticisms Harrison hss fairly earned, nobody now but a sore-head or political' idiot would deny him lability of the first class. Moreover, we have never had a President in whose honesty, ability and good judgment with respect to the general interests of th country tho people have had more confidence.

HOW STRAW-BOARD IS MADE. What an Inspection of the Establishment at Xoblesvllle Disclosed A Great Industry. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NonLEsniXE, Ind., Jan. 2. Wednesday marked an epoch in tha manufacturing history of the city. For the first. time the whistle of the new straw-board-mill, built by the American Straw-board Company, was heard. -i During the afternoon the Journal correspondent was shown through the great establishment by Mr. Ward. Entering at the .boiler-rocm, the first thing to attract the attention of the visitor is a battcry of fifteen tubular steam boilers, each of which is sixty-six inches in diameter and eighteen feet in length. These boilers represent, in the aggregate, one thousand horse-power, and in them is generated the steam to drive the vast extent of complicated machinery in tne mill. Passing into the engine-room, tho next object of admiration is the ponderous and powerful engines of six hundred horse-power. The main flywheel is eighteen feet in diameter, and has a face fifty and one-half inches broad, and carries a heavy leather belt forty-eight inches in width. This belt travels at the rate of a mile a minute and drivesthegreaterpartof theheavy machinery. Next in point of interest is the two steam pumps, which have the pumping capacity of four million gallons every twenty-four hours, with a possible capacity of six million gallons for the samo length of time. Each of these pumps is attached to four eight-inch driven wells outside of the building, and, resting on a crat brick tower, at the height of forty-seven feet above the ground, is a tank twenty-three feet and nine inches in diameter and twelve feet deep, holding fifty thousand gallons of water. Connected with this tank and distributed entirely around the mill is a system of fire-plugs, with hose attachments, as a fire protection. Going next to the shippingandrecoivingroom, where side-tracks from all the railroads in the city enter, we follow the straw from there to the finishing-rcom, where the finished board comes from the rolls. The straw starts on a carrier built on the plan of a straw-carrier attached tu a threshingmachine, and is thereon conveyed up to the point where the rotaries are fei. There are ten rotaries, each capable of holding six tons of straw. By way of explanation, a rotary is a sphere in shape, made of heavy boiler-iron. Each rotary is swung on an axis resting upon solid brick pillars of pyramidal shape, 8x10 feet in size at the base, and 4x6 feet at the top. The straw is kept in the rotary about ten hours. The rotaries are kept constantly revolving, the straw being treated all the time to a bath of hot limo water and steam. To keep the rotaries in motion requires & separate engine of eighty-horse power. - After being thus cooked, the stock, as it is now called, is, by means of another carrier, conveyed to the cooling-bins, where it is allowed to cool thoroughly. This is necessary from the fact that if worked while hot portions of the board would cool faster than other parts, and an uneven temperature makes mixed colors, so the stock is cooled before being worked. The finished product is all of one color. In each of the cooling bins provision is made to care for seventy tons of stock at one time, which is a day's work. Seventy tons of straw will yield forty tons of finished board. The stocK next passes into the beaters, where it is thoroughly washed and torn. It then goes into the finishing-room, where it passes through four Jordan engines or refiners, then takes along serpentine journey through the paper-machine and a system of dryingrolls. There are two sets of the latter and forty-six rolls in each set, so interlocked with cogs that one roller cannot turn unless the whole system turns. One set has faces ninety-eight inches wide, wfiile the other set is eighty-six inches wide. At the end of the rolling process the board receives the facing of whatever color is desired, and is then cut into sheets. To operate these rolls requires two engines of one hundred horse-power each. In the construction of the buildings there were used not less than four million bricks. There are at least sixty car-loads of machinery in the factory, all of which was made in tho United States.. The American Straw-board Company owns and operates nineteen mills, of which this, in point of perfection, is the banner mill and the prid of the company. Although second in size, it is the finest and most complete mill in the United States, and it is believed to be the most perfect mill in existence. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

the result would be the establishment in this country of many industries now located abroad, which have neretoforo sent their goods into this country to be sold. An instance of this comes to our attention as that of the extensive and well-known manufacturer of shoelaces, Mr. James Paton, of Johnstone, Scotland, who has leased' premises at North Grafton, in this State, and will occupy them at once as a branch establishment to supply this country with his goods. He will take possession immediately, and so a new interest will be established in this couutry which has up to this time been located abroad.

CURES Br A "SUPERNATURAL GIFT." A Massachusetts Carpenter Said to Be Fosses ed of a Strange Power. Boston (Mass.) Special. Charles S. Dennis, a carpenter of Beverly, is exciting great interest through certain wonderful cures which he has wrought. He uses no medicines, but simply a "supernatural gift1 which he says he suddenly received a few days ago. He himself was troubled with paralysis, and almost instantly Nov. 80 was completely cured. He effected the cure by rubbing his body with his hands. Others sought his assistance, and since that time he has done nothing but heal the sick. A man who had been unable tolift his arm high enough to put a sheet under it for months was able, after a. little rubbing, to lift it eight inches, and to-day can raise it to his bead without difficulty, while his whole side is rapidly recovering its former vigor. r A woman sixty-seven years of age, who had been unable to move from her bed for eighteen years, got up and sat on tbe edge of the bed after a few minutes rubbing, and is now able to go down stairs to her meals regularly. A third patient, a man who had been completely paralyzed for thirteen years, was visited by Mr. Dennis twice, and he is now able to feed himself. This man claims that the portion of his body which had been dead is now sensitive to pain, and even to heat and cold. Mr. Dennis is unable to account for this gift. He has received many letters urging nim to make it his life work to heal the sick. He takes no pay for his services, preferring to relieve suffering humanity while the power is with him, as he does not know long it will last. It came suddenly, he says, and may depart as suddenly. A Reproach to Men. Oscar Fay Aduns, in North American Review. Think for a moment what is implied in the single fact that in no part of the world is it deemed safe for a woman to go alone after dark, nor, in many localities, by day even. It is not enough toreply that woman must have a trustworthy masculine escort because she is timid. Why should she bo timid? Under similar circumstances a man may fear the personal violence of an enemy or the loss of his money and valuables. A woman has to dread man's "wildness and the chances of the dark." In plain words, she fears that, if unattended, some man will seek to rob her of her honor. And is not this fear of hers an arraignment of civilization itselff How much better does civilized man show above his savage brother in relation to this matter! It may be urged that it is unfair to hold all men responsible for the lawlessness of aminonty; but what is this but to confess that the majority are powerless to restrain the minority, or to say that improvement in this regard is impossible? If in the vicinity of every large town in the United States there lurked a dozen or more fierce wolves that, after nightfall, went into the town and banqueted on such of the citizens as they could secure, we may without much doubt assert that such a state of things, when once found to exist, wonld come to a speedy termination, for every man would feel that the common safety of all demanded .the exertion of his strength in the contest with the wild beats. But let it be understood that the honor of every woman is endangered when she goes from place to place alone at night, and we accept the fact as no reproach on our common manhood, but merely fancy that all requirements of duty are satisfied if we provide defenseless women with a responsible male escort. President Harrison's Appointments, Cincinnati Comercmial Gazette. President Harrison's appointment of Judge Brown, of Michigan, to the Supreme Bench, gives general good satisfaction. Even the most sour Democratic organs that is to say, those of the pure cider vinegar orderare compelled to commend it. The ,Presfdent has been remarkably fortunate in LiTappointments. The most severe criticism upon them has been from disappointed office-eekers e-, Boston Journal. No criticism is heard anywhere of President Harrison's appointment of Jndge Brown, of Michigan, to the Supreme Bench. Even the -most bitter anti-administration papers are obliged to give grudging praise. And, by the way, most of President Harrison's appointments which have been criticised aro those which he never made, but which his critics pretended to think he was going to make, r Has No Policy but an Itch for Office, Minneapolis Tribune. It is amusing to hear Democratic leaders in speeches and conversations, both public and private, declare, apparently without fear of contradiction, that tho policy of their party never changes. Why, there is scarcely a position taken by that party for the. past forty years on which they now dare to take a stand and defend it. ' The Chronic Kickers. Munci Times. The chronio kickers are now getting in thoir work against the census, in Indiana. This is a harmless amusement. The men who took the census were under oath the kickers are under obligations to make party capital, even if it is done by impugning the integrity of their neighbors, who were engaged in the service. A Weak Statesman Peru Republican. Senator C. B. Farwell undertook the role of political boss with President Harrison, but got worsted in the attempt. In a recent interview he injured himself by trying to belittle the President. He is a candidate ' for re-election to the Senate, and by placing himself in opposition to the administration has injured his own chances for going back to the Senate. Wrong Inference.
