DANCED WITH FIRE BELOW THEM
Comedians Avert a Panic In q New
ark Theeter.

NEWARK, Oct 25.-The dangers to which
people are at times exposed without know
ing anything about them until they are
past was never more clearly demonstrated
than In Waldman's theater last night. The
house on this occasion was well filed and
the spectators sat for fully fifteen minutes
applauding the funny atterpiece which con-
cludes the performance while at the same
time firemen were at work directly under
them and also under the stage battling with
flames which had been started by an cleo
trio wire
The fire was first discovered in the upper
part OF the building, which is used as a
central station for the fire alarm system.
Patrolman Richard Lewis at once stationed
a man at each door OF the tneater with or
ders to allow no one TO go in or give an
alarm, as panic would have followed. The
chemical engine company adjoining the
theater was quietly summoned aud as
quietly went to work on the fire and soon
had IL subdued
just as the tiremen were congratulating
themselves another blaze wac discoy cred
under the auditorium floor and stage. As
it was burning tiercely. Chief Ashley at
once sent out an alarm from station "a and
soon the engines began to roll up in front of
the theater. while the peal of the big tower
bell, block away, apprised the
audiencs for the first time there was
fire somewhere in the neighbor-
hood. few of those in the thea
Ter left out of curiosity, but the rest Of
tne audience remained In their seats and
laughed at the antics Of the comedians on
the stage, who were the only ones who
knew anything Of the state OF affairs below.
Their GOODNESS averted panic, for had they
shown any inclination TO leave the stage
the audience would have become suspicious
and rush would have followed.
AS it was, the audience knew nothing of
the danger until they left the theater and
saw the fremen taking up the hose. The
fire in the upper part OF the building ruined
the entire fire alarm svstarn

through and he has since remained here.
His arrest was effected in the night time
at his residence, and in spite of his protest
that he was an American and his production
OF passport, he was hurried to the Teros-
kier prison without being allowed to dress.
MINISTER HIRsCH NOTIFIED.
In the morning he was allowed to CON-
municate with the American consul and
was soon released on condition that he
should appear and stand trial Minister
Hirsch sent an energetic protest to the
foreign minister against the viola
uon OF the right OF domicIe of
an American citizen and demanded
satisfaction and punishment of the official
who ordered the arrest. He further de-
claret that he would refuse to produce the
accused unless satisfaction was granted and
until informed of the nature of the charge
against him.
THE CHARGE.
A statement was then sent to Minister
Hirsch that the accused had engraved a seal
for the secret Armenian committee. Proof
was produced that the man had no
knowledge of the art of engraving, and
that he had recently been acting
as agent for an American firm engaged in
the manufacture Of photograph appar-
atus. The government then expressed its
regrets. Minister Hirsoh, however, still

The Letter Read in the Catholic
Churches Throughout Ireland.
DUBLIN, Oct. 28.-The pastoral letter
adopted at the autumnal meeting Of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy was read to-day
in the Catholic churches throughout Ireland.
The letter protests against the attempts to
minimize the extent of the potato crop
failure, as such a course was a disastrous
one pursued during former famines.
IL appeals to the government for
timely assistance to palliate what
trustworthy reports show TO be real wide
spread danger. The letter contains a re-
iteration OF the papal prohibition of "the
plan OF campaign" and boycotting, and
directs the people TO have nothing whatever
to do with politics, and concludes by ex-
pressing sympathy with the evicted tenants,
and hopes tbat parliament may succeed in
adopting measures 10 reinstate the evicted
tenants and preventing further evictions.
