Fire At the State Capitol.

Last evening about 7:3O, DR.. j. W.
Thompson, who rooms in the Hayward
block, saw an unusual light in the capitol
building and went over there to see what
vas the matter. When he got into the senate
chamber he found that carpenters table
was all on fire and nearly consumed. In
a few minutes moro the fire would have
reached the floor, which is covered with
shavings and other refuse that would have
caused the fire to spread very rapidly and
undoubtedly it would have been very diff
cult, if not impossible, for the fire depart
ment to have handled it. The men who
were at work in the other parts of the cap
itol building were notified, and succeeded.
after good deal of hard work, in extin
gushing the blaze. 1t was very close
call, though, and but a few minutes more
OF delay was needed to have enveloped the
whole building in flames. Several hun
dred men are employed in the building,
and work is carried on day and night. 1t
so happened that they were all engaged
last evening in other parts Of the building
and knew nothing about the existence of
the fire till their attention was called to it
by DR.. Thompson. No OF knows how the
fire was communicated Or started.

Lights O'LondOn,

Golfers Union Square company, which
will present 'Lights O. London at the
Opera house this week, beginning tits
evening, will arrive at 2:20 p. n. to-Gdy
The Opera house stage has been cleared
of all its old appointments to make roui.i
for the magnificent scenery which his
company brings, and every set will be Ell.
tirely new. At Bridge square tonight at
o'clock, there will be full series of the
beautiful tableaux mechanical effects and
elegant scenery from the spectacular melo-
drama exhibited by the means of NAM
moth stereoptican pictures, brilliantly il
Illuminated by powerful calcium lights.
Those who do not feel itch enough to at
tend the play should by all means witness
the scenes from it to be shown free to-
night, if weather permits. q
In regard to the play the Illinois State
Register, of Springfield, says:
We hazard nothing in saying that there
was not single person in the vast audi
ence present who will not bear testimony
to the fact that it is in more respects than
one, the greatest play that was ever put
upon Springfield boards. Certainly, moth
ing approaching ~ Ill StuSdtlOlidllSu OR
ii beauty and realism of mechanical eff
forts was ever before attempted. From
the rising of the curtain on the beau
tiful garden scene, to the close of
the last act there was a constant
succession of surprises, and the
audience was kept worked up to the high
est pitch of excitement. There were six
OF seven very elaborate scenes, and two Or
three of them were of striking beauty
notably so the view of the '.Road from
Chatham to London in the Snow and
Moonlight" and The Slips, Regent Park,
by Moonlight In this the audience were
treated to glimpse OF slow life foul
crime on bridge, and a rescue from the
river, that was very startling and real
istic. The play, itself, is a powerful Que,
with very heavy cast, in which variety
i interesting characters are introduced
The company as whole is an unusually.
strong one, and every leading character Is
exceptionally well portrayed.
