Mrs. Langtry's performance here to-day
in the Academy of Music, as the curtain
was about to raise Oh the last act, there
was cry of sire" from the rear of thu
hall, and thick clouds of smoke poured
up through the large register in the mid.
die aisle. The cracking Of the flames
were heard underneath the floor, and the
large audience rose panic striken. Cool
headed men sprang upon the stage and
called out to the people that there were
no danger. Others mounted their chairs
in every part of the house
and called upon the people to
remain cool. This succeeded in partially
quieting the people, and in two minutes
the theater was cleared, just as the
flames sprang through the floor. By this
time the fire department was at hand
and streams of water was pouring into
the building. The fire was soon extin-
guished. 1t caught from an over.h heated
furnace directly underneath the center
aisle and near the main entrance. But
for its timely discovery, it would have
shut off the people from escapigg by the
main door, and there would have been

FIRE IN CHICAGO OPERA HOUSE.
CHICAGO, December 12.-Just twenty
minutes after the auditorium of the Chi
cago Opera House had been emptied of
the immense audience which had wit
messed the McCaull Opera Company
produce Lorraine tonight, the employees
closing up the house discovered fire in
the top gallery. Some time was wasted
in trying to extinguish it with Babcocks
and other appliances, and when the fire
department was summoned the flames
had gained good headway. The audito.
rum had to be flooded with water, and
all the furniture, frescoing, ETC., in the
body of the house was ruined, entailing
a loss of $15 200. The only damage to
the remainder of the building is by
smoke and water, and cannot be esti-
mated tonight. The building, which is
q ter-story 6reproof structure, sustained
its reputation of "ireproof," as nothing
but the woodwork in the auditorium was
burned.
The fire was caused by the breaking of
a lantern which one of the employees s
was using in the galleries. The oil from
it set fire to the woodwork, and the delay
in giving the alarm caused the disastrous
spread of the flames.
