FOR A NEW THEATRE.
Central Real Estate Company Makes
Valuable Purchase.
BIG ESTATE ON HIGH STREET
1t IL Between Jacxson and Franklin
Streets and Just the Location for n
New Play House-No Definite Plans
Yet Agreed Upon.

A new theatre for Providence Is among
the probabilities.
II everything moves along as serenely
as those who contemplate the new ven
ture anticipate, the opening of the theat-
rical season of 1892 will see another play
house demanding it's share of attention.
The proposed site of the new theatre Is
on High street, between Jackson and
Franklin streets and the proposed build
ers are the gentlemen who comprise the
Central Real Estate Company.
Negotiations have been pending for the
past month between the Central Real Es-
tate Company and W. II. Hall, who had
the selling Of the property, and on Satur-
day the sale was consummated whereby
the Real Estate Company is now the
owner of the Amory Chaplin estate on
High street. just above the corner Of Jack
son street. This estate has frontage of
63 feet feet on High street and runs back
$50 feet to an alleyway parallel with
High street.
The Central Real Estate Company has
owned the DIR. Fearing estate Just above
which is 3Sxl50 feet, and the two estates
combined will make one with frontage

ALMYS TRIAL BEGUN.
The Slayer Of Christie Warden Before
The Court To-day.
THEY HANG HIM IN EFFIGY.
The Indignant People Indicate q Desire
to Make the Hanging ReaI-The As
sassin Strongly Guarded-The Plea of
Guilty Does Not Check the Trial.

PLYMOUTH, N. H., Nov. 1.-THE day
broke dark and dismal, after an all nights S
rain. The wind swayed the effigy which
hung in front of Almy's window and
shook as with an ominous finger of fate
the placard which bore the sug-
gestive legend Compliments of the
friends of Christie Warden; we will hang
the original next" The effigy was torn
down soon after z o'clock by the officers
of the Jail.
1t is well for Almy that he will have the
protection Of nine deputy sheriffs until
the sentence is imposed, for in the present
condition of the public mind, and with
very inadequate for his confinement, a
mob might easily force an entrance into
the courthouse and cut short the trial
without the aid of judge or jury. Almy's
plea of guilty has not weakened public
sentiment in the slightest degree in his
behalf.
Long before the TIME arrived for open
ing the court the courthouse was besieged
by "A great crowd anxious to gain an en-
trance, and at o o'clock the department of
justice was crowded to suffocation.

ANOTHER TENEMENT HORROR.
Four-Story Building Destroyed in
BrookIyn--Six Lives Lost.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Nov. 17.-At an early
hour this morning fire occurred in a
four story tenement house at 12o Nostrand
avenue.
The building was constructed mostly OF
wood and the flames spread to all portions
of it with great rapidity, cutting of the
escape Of those who lived on the upper
floors. Six persons are known TO have
perished while many others were badly
burned or had a narrow escape.
At least fifty families were burned out
and 1t is probable that many Persons be-
side those mentioned have lost their lives
There were scenes of wild excitement and
panic during the progress of the flames
mothers would remember that some of
their children were forgotten in the hasty
exit and could only be prevented from has
tening back into the burning building by
force. The flames were first discovered at
2:30 o'clock this morning and at o'clock
were not yet under control, although the
whole fire department was on the scene.

on High street of 101 feet, and uniform
deDth Of 15O feet

on High street of 1Ol feet, and a uniform
depth Of $50 feet,
In purchasing the last estate the Central
Real Estate Company had in mind the
uniting of the two, and erecting a big
block of some kind thereon. The plan
which seems most feasible Is TO build a
theatre on the newly-acquired prop
erty. In conversation with News
reporter to-day, the president of the
real estate company said that If
all the plans under contemplation he
thought that building theatre was the
most likely to be carried to completion.
The site is favorable for such building,
as it is just above the business portion of
the city, easy of access from nearly every
route of horse cars I'm the city. The theatre
would have an entrance on High street,
and would extend back to the gang way
in rear, which opens onto both Jackson
and Washington streets.
He thought that the theatre was about
the proper thing TO build there, but no
definite plans have yet been agreed upon,
and IL will probably be several weeks be-
fore any thing is settled.
Within the last few years Westminster
street has come to be the amusement
thoroughfare Of the city, and the Provi-
dence Opera House, which for so many
years has had undisputed right to the ma
jority of the theatrical patronage, while il
has held to the best of the plays which
come here, has perhaps lost some ground,
not because the standard of the attrac-
tions is any lower than before, but be-
cause IL is considered ''out of the way"
IL has been stated that this is the last
season of the Providence Opera House,
and that another season will see three
stories added TO il, and the Narragansett
Hotel will then comprise the entire
square embraced by Broad, Dorrance,
Pine and Eddy streets.
In the event of the Providence Opera
House being merged iuto the Narragan-
sett Hotel there will be an opening for
another theatre here more centrally To-
Gated aud the promoters of the new scheme
think they have struck upon just the site
necessary for such building.

B0ST0N'S MAY0RALTY.
Republicans Still Hope That Mr..
Hart VIII Run.

BosToN, Nov. 17.--Indications multiply
that the Republicans of Boston have not
given up hope of inducing Hon. Thomas
n. Hart TO become. their. candidate for
mayor again. No definite action has been
taken and no promise has been given.
But il is said that close political friends
Of Mr. Hart are urging him To reconsider
his determination not To accept nOmina-
ton, il it should be rendered him unan-
imously, and that possibly the convention
might nominate him by acclamation or
might appoint n committee To wait upon
him. Indeed, rumor went so far as TO
intimate that gentleman who has been
prominently mentioned as likely TO receive
the nomination himself might propose
Mr.. Hart's name. If Mr.. Hart persists i'm
his declination, the nomination may go TO
Hon. Homer Rogers. Mr.. Horace g.. Allen.
or Hon. Joseph Bennett. A chairman for.
the convention has not been agreed upon

Girls, be Careful.

No young lady can be too careful OF
her actions. Least of all can she afford
to make herself cheap by flirting and
taking up with every new face or dude
that happens to come along. No young
man should be tolerated that does not
come with recommendations and intro
ductions. Any girl who will allow her
self to be picked up by an utter stranger
and enter into what she styles "harm-
less Irritation" is not safe for an hour,
for she is taking the first steps toward
perdition and she may live to regret her
foolishness bitterly. 1t is always best
to avoid even the appearance OF evil, 1or
in that only is the pathway of safety.
