DISASTROUS FIRE IN BROOKLYN.

A Number of Persons Injured by Jumping
 from the Burning Building.
 BROOKLYN, March 27.-Fire destroyed the tour story brick factory building No. 393 Kent avenue yesterday afternoon, and led to the injury of number of men and girls employed there. The first floor of the build ng was used as an axle factory by Frederick w. Wurster, and the second floor by Dill mier & Stoatz brass foundry. On the third and fourth floors thirty-five men and twenty-five women and girls were employed by Alfred E. Overs in the manufacture of shoes
 The fire broke out in the lower part of the building, and spread so rapidly that the only stairway leading to the third and fourth floors was in flames before the shoe factory employees could make their escape. They ran to the rear windows and jumped to the roof of an extension to the building about twenty feet below them. Nearly all of the girls and some of the men who jumped were more or less injured, and it is reported that two of the employees are missing. The loss by the fire will probably reach $125 OOO

ATTACKED BY TRAMPS.
An Old Man Brutally Beaten
 and Robbed.


The Shocking Story Told by seventy-eight
 Year Old Frederick NIorlock to the
 Newark Police-iIis Injuries Likely to
 Cause His Death.
 NEWARK, N J., March 21--Frcderick Nor lock oked like dying man when he tot tered into police headquarters yesterday afternoon. He is 1S years old. Blood had streamed from his face, and his clothes were smeared with it. The bridge of his nose was broken and the ri Int nostril was split from the organ and hung by thread. Morlock had to rest while before he could explain his condition, and hen he told his story through a German interpreter
 ''I left Newark on Monday afternoon" he said, ''to visit some friends in Elizabeth. It was somewhere about o'clock when l reached Waverly. AS 1 passed the hotel near the fair grounds l saw two tramps, as supposed, sitting by the roadside little dis tance ahead. As I was passing them they jumped up and one of them seized my staff. The other fellow demanded my money. l begged them to let me go and said they surely would not rob an old man. The man who had my stick cursed me and hit me twice with it. The first blow closed my right eye and the second broke my nose and that knocked me helpless. While l was lylng on the ground they ritied my pockets and took out my pipe and tobacco, S1.5O, all the money had, and everything else in my pock- cts. They started to go away, but one of them came back and roughly pulled my over coat off me Alter that they left me and lay all night shivering and suffering and wish ing that I would die. I couldn't move and couldn't sleep, and 1 thought daylight would never come, No one passed that way until morning, when farmer came along. He drove me to the city line and then walked to the German hospital, but they told me must come here first and report the matter. "
 Morlock was taken to the German hospital, where 1t is thought he will die of his injuries and the shock and exposure. He has lived ill Newark twenty six years, and, until age un- fitted him for work he was an industrious man. Before his wife and son died he lived on Charlton street, and since that time he has been lodging on Broome street. He said that he had one daughter and two step daughters living in Newark, but that none of them would give him a crust of bread. How ke has managed to exist he declined to say, though it is supposed that some charitable people have been supplying his needs, as he was neatly dressed in a decent suit of clothes and good shoes. The police have little hope of capturing his assaiants, as he was unable to give any better description of them than that they were young men and looked like tramps The only clew to work on is the old mans overcoat, which the murderous high waymen took.

Tho EilIboarsi,' Decline.

Theatrical managers have lately been discussing the question of the most profitable manner of advertising their shows. A few years ago the billboard was the only recognized method of con- munlcation between the manager and his patrons. Spaces upon every fence and corner were eagerly bought up by the enterprising advance agent; saloon windows were utilized to hold the litho- graphs. and free pass accompanied each picture displayed. What was the result5 After the agent had gone his rounds and papered the town tie ticket scalper also began his pilgrimage. He bought up the free passes at small cost and sold them afterward at a good profit to himself and flied the house at direct loss to the original management. The scheme was a complete failure.
 Later another plan was adopted and with similar results. Season tickets, ad- hitting the holder to four performances a month and not transferable, were issued, and on each performance the door keeper was obliged to punch out one of the dates, as in a railroad ticket. The result was that the holders of these passes held off until they had accumu- lated dozen or so of admissions to their credit, and then swooped down upon the theatre in their might and owned the house. In Buffalo last season one man. ager was forced to give away 1,700 free admissions in one week, and only saved himself from ruin by getting the differ ences ill the prices of those of his pa irons who wished to obtain better seats than their passes admitted them to.
 It IS generally conceded among ad- vanced theatrical managers that the newspaper is at once the cheapest and the best way of reaching the great theatre going public. Such is the condi- tion of Philadelphia at present that upon the principal streets there are no places for the billboard and the Autograph. They must be exiled to the suburbs. where the theatrical patron never ven lures, and the small boy who cannot read unites with tho equally illiterate goat for their speedy destruction. An afternoon's shower will erase the work of days, batter down the signs, blur the colors, and generally destroy the most ambitious bill posted. The newspaper is, in truth? the only reliable means of theatrical as it is of other advertisement. It is cheaper, further reaching and ap- peals to a better clientele, and the con- stant increase in the space occupied by the theatre advertisements in the leading papers shows that this fact is understood.
