A PANIC IS AVER1ED.
A Leycl.Headed Audience in a Jersey
 City Theater.
A BIG COMPLIMENT.
most All sat Still A Fireman Threatens to Chop with an Axe Any One Who Might Try to Get Out

JERSEY CITY, May 15.-The curtain 1n the Jersey City Academy of Music had just been rung down after the first act in 'The Still Alarm" which was being pro- duced there last night, when some of the audience in the top gallery smelled gas escaping. They notified an usher and a plumber was sent for. He smelled around among a lot of unused gas pipes with caps on and then declared that everything was all right. To prove it he struck match and held it over the pipes. blaze ap. peared over one of them. The plumber took a piece of cork and drove it down in the pipe with hammer. Then he went away. Ten minutes after he had gone Q small boy saw a little light coming from the pipe. He told the man in charge of the gallery and a wet handkerchief was wrapped around the pipe. In minute or two there was smell of smoke and the handkerchief was seen to be on fire.
 A boy was sent to the house of Hook and Ladder company No. l, near by, and Fireman Coleman and Rooney went to the theater with an eXtinguisher and an axe. By the time they got there the on the bottom of the gallery a short dis tance, and the people below had discov- cred it. Police Commissioner O'Donnell and a few other cool-headed men kept them all in their seats. A few men in the gallery, however, made a rush for the stairway and were leaping down the steps, when Fireman Coleman ordered them to stop, They rushed on and the fireman knocked the last man down. A crowd was preparing to rush out. Cole stood at the head of the stairs and said quietly:
 "The first man that tries to get out of here I'll chop him with this axe"
 At the same time he held the axe up over his shoulder threateningly. The threat prevented stampede, and Cole man sent Rooney around to where the fire was with his extinguisher. A stream of water was turned on, and in q moment the blaze was extinguished and all dan- ger was passed. The audience down stairs sat quiet and watched the fireman at work. Only few got up from their seats, and that was to escape being drenched by the water that came from the extinguisher.
 From the time smoke was discovered until the fire was out the orchestra kept on playing vigorously, and policemen assured the people from time to time there1was no danger After quiet was restored Manager Arthur appeared at the footlights and said:
 By the efforts of the firemen and your own good judgment all danger has been averted. 1 must pay you the compli- ment of saying you are the bravest [peo- pie have ever encountered"
 The people cheered to the echo, and they cheered the tiremen and policemen and themselves for fully ten minutes Then the play was resumed.

VIEWED WITH DREAD.
William Kemmlrr Sentenced to Die by
 Electricity.
FIFE WON'T TALK OF TT.
The Murderer Expected to be Hung, and Now the New Method of Execu. tion Fills Him With Horror-Form or Sentence.

BUFFALO. May 15.-William Kemmler. for the brutal murder of his paramour, Mrs. Tillie Zlegler, on March 20 last,
 Kemmler was brought in and asked what he had to say. He looked fixedly ut the judge with a troubled, anxious look upon his face. and replied. duietly: Nothing"
 The Judge then proceeded to pass sen- tence. He said the trial had been fair and impartial, that the evidence showed that Kemmler deliberately planned and executed the murder, and the verdict was satisfactory and entirely just. The form of the sentence was as follows :: "The sentence Is that for the crime of murder, of which you stand convicted, that within the week commencing MOn- day, June 24, 1889, within the walls of Auburn State Prison. or within the yard or enclosure thereof, you suffer the death punishment by being executed by cleo tricity, and that you be removed to and kept In confinement in Auburn state prison until that time. May God have mercy on your soul"
 Attorney Hatch said: "I wish to take exception to the sentence on the ground that it Is cruel and unusual"
 The exception was recorded. The con- demned man stood 6 moment longer, then sank into his seat and his head dropped upon his chest. An officer ap- proached, slipped the handcuffs upon him and led him back to the condemned cell in the jail. He was taken to Auburn today.
 It has been almost impossible to ob- tain an interview with kemmler since the beginning of the trial, but day or two before the sentence a reporter se- cured admittance to the floor of tho jail where the prisoner was confined.
 Do you fear death by electricity2' was asked him.
 II don't know. I don't want to talk about it," and with 6 shudder the con- demned man turned away.
 Do you hope. for reprieve or 8 new trial?'
 Kemmler shook his head and returned to his cards.
 N The guard who has been with him con- stantly says that Kemmler has confessed to him that he fears the mysterious death by. y.electricity hundred times more than by the rope. He expected to be hanged when he committed the crime, and one o1 the first things he Is 9worn to have said. when reproached with his crime, was "Yes, killed her and I am willinn to take the rope for it."
 But from the nameless, unknowable death the murderer. .recoils with horror.

An Arizona Indian Shampoo.

The hair of both sexes is worn long, reach ing nearly to the waist and is cut squarely across. Do the dusky children of the desert profane their ebon locks with brush or oomba Not to any great extent. They fol- low a device at once economical, unique and effective. They make a thick paste of the adobe soil and water, and having wound the hair closely around their heads, they smear it from brow to occiput with sticky gray mud and let it dry. When thoroughly dry it is cracked of and the hair emerges there from clean, smooth and glossy as the pro verbal ravens wing Compared to this the shampoo of civilization is foolishness.
