PANIC In A THEATRE,
A Frigbtful Catastrophe Averted-An Alarm Z
Fire nnd n Panlc-SIrIcken Audience.

FIRE and n Pan,c-srricken Audience.
On Saturday night last an incident occurred
in the Stadt Theatre which came near resulting,
through panic in the audience, in one of the
most frightful catastrophes which can betal
large assemblage. There were not less than
twenty three hundred persons in the theatre,
the occasion being benefit rendered to Madame
Seebach, and the popular piece of Die Fine
Weint, Die A1dere Lacht was being per-
formed. In a scene of the second act when
Mad. Seebach, NJ. Dombrowski, and Mile
Scholtz we're on the stage, some person up in
the upper gallery, unable to hear Mile. SchOlZ,
kept up for some time a continuous volley of
yells of 'louder." Another person in his vicinity
said to the bowling one, keep quiet or I'll
punch your head" The vociferous party doubted
the speakers ability or chartered right to
go about "head puncher," and Invited
an experiment. The invitation was promptly
accepted. From score of semi-Americanized
Teutons arose shouts of slight, fight" The i'm
mense audience down below, unable to see the
head-punching process, which was going on
vigorously, and mistaking the word Eight" for
fire." was at once in the widest commotion.
Everybody at all conversant with the building
knew what vast fimsy shell ii is, of the most
combustible materials, and most inadequately
provided with means of egress in case of fire.
In an instant the alarm of fire" spread
through the entire house, and the long,
tortuous passages were blocked up by a
screaming, struggling, terror-stricken crowd,
fighting its way towards the street, while the
aisles were filed with a multitude pressing
tawards the doors, and many were bounding over
the seats, Fastening to effect their escape from
what seemed to them at the moment an immi-
nent danger of the most horrible of deaths. To
the cool presence of mind of the persons upon
the stage 1t is without doubt due that there
were not many trampled to death in the frenzied
rush for the door.
In the excitement several women tainted, and
it was reported that one girl had her arm
broken. That no more serious injuries or even
loss of life resulted must be regarded as not only
fortunate but wonderful, In view of the eircum-
stances.-N. Y. World, yesterday.

MAKING SURE OF A TENOR.

Professional Rivalry and Managerial DIpIO-
The CorahiH Magazine tells this amusing
story
"A French impressario was taking out to New
Orleans an opera company, which, by special
agreement, was only to Include one tenor. Fo-
reigners are usually bad sailors, and for the first
few days all the members of the company were
seasick, one of the effects of which malady is
that il weakens'th the voice 80 much that people
are frequently hoarse for several days after their
recovery. Accordingly, as soon as the singers
could crawl on deck, they commenced to try
their voices and amongst them the tenor who
always anxious to occupy a distinguished posi-
tion, went on to the bridge of the steamer for
the purpose. What was his surprise on hearing
the echo of his own voice-another tenor. His
amazement became disgust when he heard a
third tenor running up the scale, fourth, a
fifth. He looked forward, and saw two men
cycling him and each other with intense hatred;
he looked aft and saw two others similarly oc-
cupied. The i've tenors simultaneously made a
rush below to the managers cabin, and de-
mandedsRhether he had not expressly stipulated
to each of them that he was to be his only tenor
II kneASI know, replied the manager; land
will Keep my word. You see, none Of You have
been 20 New Orleans before, or you would un-
derstsnd. When we arrive there, the yellow
feYeris sure to be raging, and as you are fresh
from Europe, two of you will probably be car
ried off before you land, and two more during
the rehearsal. One will probably survive; he
will be nay first and only tenor"
