Burning Of a Theatre.

, Tie awful horror Of the past week
has been the conAagration Of one Of
the great theatres in Brooklyn, New
York, with the loss of about three
hundred lives Of men, women and
children! The FIRE occurred on We'd

Of an absorbing scene Of the play, and
the audience of some sixteen hundred
all unconscious of danger, The first
appearance Of fire caused but little
alarm, and one Of the actors cried tc
the audience not to be alarmed. The
play continued, but the fire, which
was behind the scenes increased. The
actors male and female then rushed
from the stage and the audience fol
the doors. Women shrieked, strug
gled and tainted. Men plunged over
the seats and fought tn ,ir way to tn,
door. The aisles were blocked. Tb,
ushers made every effort to Undue,
