The BurnInE OF .hs RIehmOnd Thea

The burning of the Richmond Theatre
in 1911, December 2Sth, is frequently al
luded to IN comparison with the terrific
event Of Wednesday The first play for
the night was "The Father; or, Family
Feuds" The after piece was pantomime
called Raymond and Agnes; or, The
Bleeding Nun" The first play ended
without accident and the pantomime was
brought on. Much scenic effect was requis-
ite, including fire, & in the very first act the
fire coming in contact with a curtain set
it in a blaze, and in minute the flames
were beyond control An actor gave the
alarm, and the audience. terrified, sought
10 escape from the house. There was
nothing like order. The crowd passed in
the direction of the doors and closed them,
and packed the human weight against
them so that there was no egress except
by leaping from the windows The flames
overlook many in tho body of the house,
and first suifocStin them, afterwards
burned them te ashers. Some were tram
pied to death and afterwards burned.
Others were killed from jumping from the
windows and were burned.
Out of six hundred persons in the thea
tire seventy-three were burned, including
the Governor Of the State GEORGE w.
SMITH and number of the most prUmin-
ent citizens, and many others were severe
" injured.
The narrowing scenes of this catastrophe
may be in some degree imagined. 1t was

The Detroit Post records the wonderful
skill of a counterfeiter named John B.
Trout, now serving out a sentence IN the
Indiana state prison, who was brought on
to that city as a witness before the United
States court to show the connection of the
Johnson family with the counterfeiting
business in Indiana from 1866 to 1867.
Trout went into a minute description of
the process of engraving plates and print
ing notes. But the most wonderful exhibit
ton of his skill was in telling the name of
the engraver of plate by examination of a
bill printer from 1t. He was thoroughly
familiar with the work of all the engrav-
ers. He detected counterfeit from
genuine bill at glance He readily desig
mated as counterfeit an issue which even
tho treasury department took as genuine
for some time before detecting as false, the
department then being obliged to cancel
the genuine issue because the false was
so nearly perfect. The United States mar
shall has a book containing samples Of all
the counteTfeits yet issued. Trout looked
at these bills and told the engravcr corr
rectly each time with very little examina-
tion Trout could not describe the pro-
cess by which be distinguished these vari-
Gus bills, but spoke Of 1t as indescribable

TIE hail storm at Philadelphia last
Sunday was decidedly terrific. Two thou
sand street lamps were broken. The con-
servatories are wreck, and gardens have
suffered severely. The owner of one mill
estimates his loss, by breakage chiefly, at
7 to $500. Stores in which the skyhghts
were broken, giving the rain and hail ac-
cess to the interior, must have suffered
severely. The churches had some oftheir
finest stained glass and illumined windows
wrecked. The total loss has been eSti-
mated at 100000, and no one has set
it below $1,000, ,OOO Stones fell that were
four inches in diameter, and they are re-
ported to have been found much larger.
But even these stones have been excelled.
In Jackson, La, in 1884, tall Of hail not
only beat down houses and trees, but
killed numbers of cattle, although it las
ted for only nine minutes. During
storm in Germany, described by the Able
Maury in q paper read before the Royal
Society in l79s, hailstones fell that weigh
ed eight pounds, and there seems good
evidence that in the storm of July "a,
1882, at Tussi, single hail stone was
found that weighed fourteen pounds, and
that one at least passed through the roof
of n house.
