Ninety Perish in Burning Theater at:
Dervio, Italy.
LONDON, June 26.
The intelligence of a frightful calamity
at place of amusement in Dervio, on the
shore of Lake Como, has just been received
While performance was in progress at a.
puppet theater the structure took fire and
was entirely destroyed. Forty-seven per-
sons lost their lives and twelve others were:
injured.
The performance was given in a small
hall over tavern. Ninety men, women
and children composed the audience. A
Bengal light was used to represent fire.
Sparks from this ignited quantity of straw
and fire-wood in the adjacent room.
On perceiving the flames the Snowman
shouted s'fire," but the spectators thought the
cry was mereIya realistic detail of the show,
and remained seated. Cries Of fire were
soon raised outside the hall. The audience,
thinking an atfray had arisen in the street,
barred the door leading from the halk They
did lfbt discover their mistake until the
flames burst into the room. After the hire
had been extinguished, forty-seven charred
corpses were found near the table, Including
the bodies of the Snowman and his wife,
The greater number of the remains
are those of women and children. The
wounded were hurt by leaping through win
dows. A child was flung out of a window
by its mother, and fell upon pile OF straw.
This is the only one present iii the hall not
hurt.
Dervio is a charming little village on the
borders of Lake Como, very sequestered
and picturesque It is about six miles north
OF Ballagio, charming seaside resort much
frequented by English and American
tourists, and about thirty miles north Of

Good Philosophy.

Down in the meadow the grass was green
And buds were red on the maple tree.
And far TO the south we saw the sheen
OF the luminous purple sea;
We stood alone in the messy porch
OF the ancient house that was her home,
And the sun shone like golden torch,
Where the clouds were white as loan.
Alb, but we spoOned I'm tho mellow glow,
For her red, ripe lips were warm and sweet,
And words were easy TO say, you know,
And the hours were very fleet;
And vows were made as the sun went down
And feet would linger, despite old time
And the lonely way that led 10 town.
When the curfew bell should chime.
And her namo- what was It Maud or May?
For the grass is green, the maple red.
And long. long year has fled away,
Since those sweet VOWS were said
Her husband and she are lately gone
To Paris, or Moscow, what matter which,
For my name, you see, IL simply John,
And he's Count stephanlasitch.
j know that her grace was sweet and fair,
That her lips are red as cherries arc,
That the sun made gold amid her hair.
And her eyes shono like u star.
But, unless err, the meadow path
Holds just as dainty maid as she;
And why should nurse despair and wrath
When q new love waits for mel
