ALMOST A FIRE.-Towards the close

ter, some clothing left In the dressing
room, used by the Reynolds brothers,
caught fire IN some mysterious way,
and before the fro was discovered 1t
had made serious inroads upon their
wardrobe, so serious, indeed, that 1t Is
said that but little choice was LEFT them
as to what they would wear next.
There seems to have been, gross care
lesshess In the matter somewhere, and
had the fire been undiscovered a few

would have been In flames. It Is sur
missed that undue inebriation was the
chief cause Of the damage to the toy
