BOSTON, Feb. 5.-The Adelph Theatre, of
which John Stetson is lessee, but recently &C.
cupied by John Halls Burlesque Comauy. was
totally destroyed by fire which broke out about
midnight Saturday; supposed to have caught
in work room in the rear basement. Most
Of the wardrobe Of the company that perform
ed Saturday evening was burned. The build
ing was owned by Frank Andrews. Total loss
estimated at $4,000; mostly insured. The no.
tel adjoining, kept by VIM. d. Park, was dam
aged by fire and water to the extent of $4,000;
iosured. The high wind and intense cold
thermometer below created fears of more
disastrous confagration, which the heroic ex-
ertion of the fremen prevented.
Al later hour two more fires broke out, one
in dwelling, West Concord street, and the
other on Tilestons wharf. Both were extin-
guished with small loss.
Weather to-day the coolest and most blus-
terin~ of the season.
