OPERA HOUSE BURNS.

Fire at Wabash Causes Loss of Eight Thousand Dollars. Wabash, Ind., Dec. 24.—The Harter opera house block, three stories high, was gutted by fire yesterday. The loss is about SB,000, fully insured. The Indiana Lighting Company’s office, one of the finest in the city, with a large display of expensive lamps and fittings was destroyed. A number of other business houses suffered heavy damage. It was only by the herioc work of the firemen that the adjacent buildings were saved. The opera house block was owned by the Wabash National Bank and for many years was the only opera house in the city.
