TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Two Mem Killed and Three wounded
by ihe Bursting Of n CaIciam
Light Machine.

MILWAUKEE,, Jsnusry ia terrible ex-
citement and stampede was caused in the
Grand Operahouse Tonight during the per-
Torrance Of Li3his o London, by Golfers
Company. In the third act the calcium
light machine on the Stage exploded with
fearful forcs, causing a stampede in the
audience OF about 900 people. No FIRE fol-
lowing, cries Of keep your seats" from all
sides and The playing OF the orchestra par
italy restored order, so that nobody in the
audience was hurt. Five of the stage people,
all of Milwaukee, were hurt. Guest Stephes,
super, was cut in the leg; Charles c. Reed,
stage carpenter and advertising agent, cut in
the leg; lanes Foster, super, wounded in the
breast; Albert Seymour, super, fracture OF
the skull, and partially disemboweled;
Robert FaningtoD, super, left leg torn of.
The latter t~o died during the night. The
scene on the stage waapne Of sad desastaiion
and the play had 10 be stopped, after which
the audience LETT the house in good order.
Great Indignation preysiIed after it was
learned that one OF the principal exits was
locked. In case the scenery should have
caught fire, this culpable negligence would
have cost hundreds OF lives.

JERSEY CITY, January 19.-The Novelty
Theater, variety ahow, was the scene OF a
riot last night. Monday night George Stone
became manager Of the place, and engaged
a score of perforders. He had some altera-
tious made, aud HE carpenters entered suit,
aud the receipts al the box Office Wednesday
night were seized by a consl able Being in
sufficient the constable was again at th e
place tonight. Tie performers concluding
tina the chances Of getting their salaries at
the end Of the week were slim, organized a
strike, headed by the four song and dance
men, the "Invincible Quartette." Their
uliimatum wac, "No bay, no play"
The manager had not the money
to meet their demands, and informed
the audience thu, there would be no per-
formance, and the money wouldbe refunded.
The ten-cent gallery crowd claimed that they
had paid twenty-five cents admission fer,
and Treasurer Moore paid esch that sum
until the funds were exhausted. The crowd
unpaid made rush for the treasurer's Office,
the door was forced open and The place was
literally torn to pieces. The manager and
treasurer were attacked, but policemen beat
back the mob and arrested Stone and Moore.
A crowd of 100 or more of the audience and
performers followed the prisoners to tn,
police station, where the dissatisfied andi
ence entered complaints OF obtaining money

LONDON, January 19.-The Marquis of
Harrington, Secretary of State for War, in q
speech last evening referring to the condi-
ton of Ireland, said: Through a miserable
hatred and hideous conspiracy he had lost
a relation beloved by all, his brother, Lord
Frederick Cavendish He had the great
est confidence in Earl Spencer, lord
lieutenant of Ireland, and Trevelyap,
chief secretary, who went there at time
when great risk of irresponsible society ex-
listed, eide by side with 3 very threatening
agitation and widespread sympathy with
crime. Secret societies no doubt e1-
listed in Russia, Germany, France and
America, and where they EXISTED eI-
treme measures were Alwsys necessary. The
evil must be grappled with The Irish problem
could only be met by firm determine tiou.
He did not think the matter was hopeless. The
Law must be strengthened TO meet the excep-
tional condition OF the country. The
government meant TO show that murder
would meet it's just reward. Home-rule
could never be permitted in Ireland.
1t had been suggested that the gov.
eminent should find the funds to establish a
peasant proprietary in Ireland, but he
strongly condemned the idea of payiug out
the hsTd-ea funds in the English ex-
chequer for such purpose, unless it
could be shown that the people were
capable aud willing 10 work. AL
though he could not say crime has
been ersdicated, there were clearly good re-
suits from the exceptional legislation 10 re-
gard TO Ireland. He had every rea-
