Office of United States Senator, and as there is
probability that the Wings, although in mi.

Dy- The Bowery Theatre, in New York, has
again been burned down, and will now be rebuilt
in another place, with much more alacrity, no
doubt, than ifit was church. The loss is esti-
mated at about $50, 900, with little or no insu
rance. This is the fourth time that the Bowery
theatre has been burned down. The first time
in 1928, under the lessecshp Of Gilfert again
in 1896, under the management of the present
lessee. Mr. Hamblin again in the winter OF
1878, while leased by Mr. Dirneford this

perty to greater extent than any Of the former.
