A terrible calamity befell our city

night. TM Ring Theater, tonoerlj

known m tM Opera Comlqus, is In ashes, and hundreds of human Mings are victim oi tM catastrophe. Nothing like this horror has ever occurred before in this city. "At ten mututM to seven tbe fire broke oat. TM theater wm pretty well filled, but happily not entirely cruwdod. . A considerable number of people were still lu the dress lug-rooms, and a deuce mass of carriages occupied tM Scbsltcn Ring. It had Just commenced to snow, and la tbe auditorium of the theater there waa the usual bustle before tM commencement of a performance people walking up and down looking fur their places, and the uotoeof turning down seats waa beard on all aides. The boxes were still empty, but tM balcony and galleries were well filled. On tM stags everything wm in a state of activity and hustle, the worktugmen removing scenery, etc. Offenbach's cumie opera, 44 1a-s Countes D'Hoffman," wm to be performed for the seroud time. Some of tlie lingers and actors had already taken their places on the stage in costume, but a large number were still lu the drei!iK-ruom In the

bauds of the costumcrs and hair-lresseri. Tbe overture had not yet begun. How the fire commenced cannot yet be definitely stated, and probably it will never be known. According to oue version the scenery wm Ignited by

a spark from electric machinery. According to another, a workman with an alcohol lamp caused the disaster. The former version la tbe more likely one. Director lielemesberger, who stood upon the stage, wm the first to notice the fire. A moment after tM "files'' were wrapped in flames and the network of wood, ropes and canvas wm burning like tinder. The people on tM stage were stupefied with fear st first, and tbey speedily took to flight In most terrible confusion toward tM ladlee' dressing-rooms, on the left of Um stage, where a small atoircase led to Hohenstaufen teraeae. In a moment tbe curtain flew up and a draft blew it hither and thither until, like a fiery tongue, It darted back and forth from tbe auditorium to the stage. TM fire then became master of tM Xing Theater. 44 re! Are! the Ring Theater iaonnre!" was the cry that went from month to ear. On Ring Strasse tbe flames were already bursting through tbe roof, and cries, such aa Vienna never heard before, filled it. They

.seemed not like tM crtoe of human Mings,

but such awful accent m can be beard only in a death straggle. TM scene wm indescribable, all those Inside tbe fated building poshing their way toward tM street, which crowded at all points. The audience from the theater struggled and crushed each other, and confusion reigned supreme. Suddenly crtos were beard from tM window of the theater leading to the Ring. TMbakouy over tM entrance wm soon emptied, and tM srletof those st tM window and of those within tM theater were awful, and awelled loader and louder. The maa of people la the street wm growing denser constantly." The following la tM narrative of HerrUaoV awn, aa actor engaged ia tM theater: "It wm:5, and the second signal had been given to tM actors that In a quarter of an hour tM performance would begin. I wm ia my dressing wont, and on bearing tM alarm I rushed on tbe stag and found myself In a

sea ot same. A violent draught of air

aad a perfect column of fire seemed to

against tM cnrtaiM, which It quickly pierced.

Then a atresia of fox4 poured Into the theater

and up to tM galleries. I only heard a tingle horrifying scream a etagto cry of unspeak

able terror and fearful despair." He then described tbe scene of tbe members of the chorus flying to reach tbe doorway aad aeeap from the fir. iMpector Nltsoe escaped from his dwelling in tM upper story. He describes tM fearful some in tM auditorium m follows : ,,Tbe people lay there In Maps, and many la tM stretched oat Imploringly, and there were others wboee naila were driven mto tM flesh In pale and despair." A lady who waa In tM third row of tM parwas Just about to take out my opara-glaM that the curtain wm driven out violently toward me, A sheet of fire ponied out immediately after over tM seats. I grasped my friend by the arm and hurried toward tM light war exUngulsbed, and w were In complete darkness. Only by keeping a firm hold ef tM. railing wart we enabled to grope our way down the stairway. Suddenly, to my horror, I found that my friend no tauger clung tome. I screamed out her name, and, to my delight, I was answered. SM ca light bold of me again, and we were crashed out through the darkness with tM tiring mast of fugitives and saved." LATKn-Hrramtwo. Researches show that tta upper gsttery must have fallen into tM pit, where tM only remains found are small fragment of bone.

Beyond a doubt M0 gallery tickets bad been issued. Only KM) of these are known to have

tumped from

fear tM loss of
