st. Paul, JAN 21-At O'Clock this morning fire
broke out in the courtroom of the Grand Opera House,
and at O'Clock there seemed little chance Of saving
tho building. The place caught fire during the alb
sence Of the care-takcr at breakfast. The Grand
Opera House Is in the business part Of tho city, and
is surrounded by some Of the best buildings in town.
Back Of It Is the mammoth Globe" building, while on
either side arc largo business buildings The entire
fre department called out and went to work with
Will The mercury then about twcnty-four de-
grces below zero and the water froze almost fast
as 1t could be thrown from the hose. The Grand
Block, adjoining the Opera House, at Wabssha and
Fourth ss soon caught fire and the occupants Of that
building hastily fed out Of doors, where many Of them
shivered in scant apparel until their clothes were
brought to them in the afternoon At o'clock tho
roof fell n and the flames spread with increased rapid
iiy and soon the Opera House was completely gutted
Occupants Of tho Court and Frost blocks were driven
out by The approach Of the flames, but Is thought
those buildings will not lose much by fro although the
loss by water and tho like will DO considerable In

menso power room. from which furnished heat and
power for buildings for several squares arouad This
was shut down by the fire. and the people IN the
different buildings were soon shivering with tho cold.
while those depending on the power were compelled
to shut down until the steam engine could more
start up. Both tho afternoon dalles were crippled
by tho loss OF power.
Tho Opera House, originally built, cost 5000 o00
and recently was elegantly rehtted at expense Of
$4,000 Tho insurance Is only about $4,000, The
