,enter---Mme. Missions Loss.

NET YORK, Nov. 1.-The talk of the town is
the Hrk theatre fire. Thousands have visited
the tins, where workingmen are searching
for tb body of John Leo, the missing stage
carpater. Mr.. Abbey received many tele-
gram of coincidence and this one from his
partr3 in Boston:
@ABEY's PARK THEATRE, BosToN.-A fire
has tst started in Washington street on the
oppodte side. Will keep you posted.
"JOHN R. SCHoENFEL."
Tbs struck Mr.. Abbey as being pretty
near coincidence. Henry Clark, the stage
carpater, who was severely burned, died in
the NV York hospital this afternoon He was
conscious almost to the last His wife
had gone away a short time before his
dealt but his mother was with him. He was
50 yars old and leaves five children. He was
the s retary of the Theatrical Mechanics as
soci$ion. John Daran lies in the New York
hosnta with compound fracture of the right
leg He is not out of danger. He says he was
in TIL paint shop on the top floor when the fire
brol5 out The smoke prevented his escape
by tie staircase, and he attempted to find one
of tlt fy-ropes, but could not see on account
of tlb smoke. His position finally became so
critial that he swung out from window and
fell rom the top of the Twenty-second street
porto, breaking his leg. Mrs. Langtry sent
fruitand delicacies to the injured men at the
HOSPITAL in the morning and desired to visit
them but was advised not to do it, as Clark
was lying. She volunteered her services for
. benefit for the families of the dead, and this
will le given within two weeks. She will re-
sumther rehearsals to-day at the Grand Opera
hous. She walked over to the Grand opera
hous in the morning and saw Mr..
Abby, and in the afternoon she went
driving. She said she had lost nothing
in the fire except the spear she
used as Rosalind Flowers were sent to her
by Mrs. Lawrence Barrett and others, and she
received many letters of coincidence. MIR.
Abby thought the Grand Opera house was
too Urge for Mrs. Langtry's company, and he
busi4d himself in seeking other quarters. At
the tine of the fire Mr.. Waliack sent Mr. Abb
hey note asking if he could be of any ser
vice Mr.. Abbey in reply suggested that Mrs.
Lanitry would be happy to play IN MI. Wal
lacks new theatre This morning MIR. Wal
lackreplied that the suggestion was start
ler,1 but that on account OF his sympathy
with fellow manager, the disappoint-
men to the public, and the annoyance to Mrs.
LanEtry he was willing to consider it In the
afternoon Mr.. Abbey had long conference
with Mr.. Wallack, and at o'clock it was
agreed that Mrs. Langtry should have the
theaer for a full term of four weeks @The
Parlenu" will run the rest of this week Mrs.
Lanstry will open in sAn Unequal Match" on
Morlay evening The scenery will be very
handsome, although not SO fine as that
