alter fire. Don't talk to me. 1t was gone
in five minutes" This cry recalled to the
mind of nearly all that the Union Square
management had possession of the Brook
Ign theater on the night it was destroyed
by fire with such frightful loss
of life. 1t is said some sparks of fire were
seen to fall on the stage, and this, in view
of the recent Milwaukee fire, created
terrible dread of what would seem certain
death. A number of ladies tainted, and
many lost jewelry. After the panic SUBJ
sided the play was continued.
The Times says the alarm was occasion
ed by the leather music case of one of the
orchestra taking fire from a gas jet and
the smoke coming into the auditorium.
Only few left the theater and none were
injured.
