John t. Raymond Before a Large
Audience Last Nisht.


John I. Raymond appeared at the
last night as the reconstructed"
Virginia Major in his new piece, lin Para

audience was composed of the most IN
telIigent people Of the city, and the
comedian was received with frequent APP
plause. Raymond always draws. Inc
nIav Is sami-farcical, similar 10 those OF
the German school in construction, but
as a whole essentially American-in fact
Chfcagoan. 1t is evidently written with
the intent of keeping Mr.. Raymond
on the stage from first to last. The action
of the play opens in mining camp IN

his daughters earnings to buy WHISKY
His steaIings are discovered by RaWdOn,
a geuteeI gambler. who, by threats of ex-
posture. forces the old man to make MIN

she determines to be true to the man OF her
choice. Steve Dallas. She, however, plnus
herself to the gambler to save her fathers
life. Major Bob Better, in the person
of Mr.. Raymond, appears upon the scene
as the friend Of the lovers. inc secohu
act takes the audience into the chicago
charge of an estate OF several millions

about to marry RawdOn. The gambler
comes to the law office, recognizes the

from him Melia's address and an invita-

Dallas turns up, rich and prosper

Is restored to Steve, and the cur

SAVED FROM THE FLAMES.
A Story of the Charleston Fire-The
Escape of Two Young Ladies from a
Prison of Flames.

A Story of the Charleston Fire-The
Escape of Two Young Ladies from
Prison of Flames.
The recent fatal confagration in Charles
ton Is being investigated by the Coroner
with the view to determine the causes OF
the death of the victims. A large number
of witnesses were brought before the jury,
and the investigation, it is claimed, will
be thorough. The funerals of the victims
Of the fire took place on Thursday. The
condition OF those who were injured, but
were rescued, is said to be improved.
One of the young ladies who
jumped from the third-story OF the
burning building and sustained
severe, though it is believed not fatal in-
iuries, told the story of her imprlson-
ment in the flame surrounded structure
to a Netcs and Courier reporter; 1t
is an error" she said, "to suppose that
we did not think of and attempt to make
our escape through the skylight in the
ceiling of the fourth story and through
the trap door, but such was the rapidity
with which the flames spread that it was
impossible TO use either. When we went
to the stairs leading to the fourth story,
the flames having devOured in almost
an instant the partition that sepa-
rated them from the entry OUTSIDE,
we found it impossible to ascend them.
Not being able to gain the foot of
the stairs we attempted to climb over the
banisters, but were again driven before
the flames to the front. We then rushed
to the hatchway in the floor we were on,
but the flames from the story below crept
along the ceiling Of the second story and
licked up through it like huge angry
tongues, seemingly hungry to deyour all
before them. In our last extremity we
rushed to the front windows of the fac
tory. 1t will thus be seen that we
had. under ordinary circumstances, three
means of escape-One by the back steps
leading down to the second story, an
other by the steps to the fourth floor
and thence through the skylight, which
we knew we could easily open, and still
another bv means of the hatchway. But
in some marvellous and unaccountable
way these three means of exit were
almost simultaneously cut off, and we
were forced to try our chances by jump
ing through the front and back windows
of the third story. Had there been no
cover to the skylight, or in fact no roof to
the building at all, it would have been
impossible for us to have used this means
of escape. because, as | have stated, we
were cut off by the flames from all chance
of reaching the fourth story"
