AN OPERA HOUSE BURNED. Thrilling and Narrow Escapes-Prob. able Loss of Life-A Woman Jumps From a Window.

Thrilling and Narrow Escapes-Prob.
 able Loss of Ltfe-A Woman Jumps
 From a Window.
 CoLUEBUs, O., Jan. 26.-A disastrous fire occurred this morning in the large block of buildings at the northwest corner of Rich and High streets. A small blaze started about TAO in the large building at the corner and before noon the entire block from Rich street to Walnut and from High to Wall streets had been gutted by the flames.
 of Rich street was the first to go. It was entirely burned out, with all its valued contents, and the only portion of the build ing left standing was the front wall. The next building to go was the Metropolitan opera house building, the fire catching in the fourth story and working down rapid ly. The fire here first started in the DOT tion of the building occupied by H. c. Godman's leather store and in a short time the entire building, including the opera house proper, was in ruins.
 There we're 8 number of thrilling and narrow escapes, and with the large force of women employed about the building it is miraculous that the death roll does not mount up high. Godman's shoe factory employs about 200 persons, 132 of these being girls. The factory occupied three floors and the spectacle of girls going down the fire ladders with aprons over their heads and escaping was one of the thrill ing episodes that caused he spectators to shudder.
 It is reported that Katie T11A jumped through 0 window on the frsSshoor and hrol bot A rad at fourth story window of the opera house | and started to descend by the fire escape, but being confused and blinded by the smoke she returned inside to be seen no more.
 FIRE AT ELIZABETH. ELIZABETH, N. J., Jan. 26.-The e1ten- sive plant of Berne, Scrymser 6 Co.,, oil manufacturers, at Elizabethport, was al most entirely destroyed by fire tonight. An explosion of one of the stills occurred soon after the day force left, and the night men were unable to check the flames. The works are located in the suburbs where there is lack of water supply. Still after still exploded, and in a short time much of the plant was in flames. The blazing oil foated out on the surface of Staten Island sound and endangered the tugs which steamed to the scene. The Staten Island meadows were fired and ignited the trestle of the Baltimore and Ohio road which spans the sound
 The oil works covered ten acres with 45t feet of frontage on the sound. The wharves along the full length of thi'
 frontage were consumed. Also the
 cooper shop and the barreling, filter ant
 pump houses. Forty-fve thousand new
 barrels, many thousands of barrels O
 manufactured oil and six immense still
 were destroyed as we'll. The loss agRre
 gates $500, ,000. Partly insured. The com
 pany will suffer great additional loss iron
 the stoppage of their business.

WHEN the democrats in congress
come to measure the expenses of the
national government with the pre-
sent revenue they will be at their
wits end to make both ends meet
without cutting down a single item
of the tariff. They can restore the
duty on sugar and raise howl from
Maine to Texas, but this will only
add about $50, 900, coo to the revenue,
aid the last congress spent that
amount more than its republican pre-
decessor, 30 loudly cursed by demo.
Gratis as the "blllion dollar congress. d"
The trouble will begin as the tariff
thinkers get to work, and if they dc
not get to work the trouble will be-
gin all the same.

ARRESTS of Germ an socialists grow

spreading In the empire, even in
quarters in which their democracy lie
disspproved of. Their economic plat.

men AND WOMEN

Many men and women who a short time
ago thought themselves of strong physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of iron marvel
at Their feeling of exhaustion and total lack
OF interest in their business affairs. They
are overpOweTed by sense of lassitude.
languOr and dullness Their Wanted
strength and self control seem to have left
them when most ne oded already they have
experimental lack of old time vigor, GER
tain lack of confiden ,e, and nervous appre-
hension instead of the old courage; a con-
slant feeling of las ,itude and waning am
bitien their blood is impoverished, their
eyes lusterless. they are haunted with mel
ancholy and frequently have the 'bIues;"
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
aud night by night; they are easily discour-
aged, irritable, mOroSe and unhappy; pleas
ures tire aud friends bore them.
Do you know what your trouble is. or
what you are coming to? Come at once and
consult DR.. j. N. Hathaway, the successful
specialist of this city, aud he will tell you
also how tn get cured. Do not DELAY.

THERE are industries in this city
that are worth thousands of dollars
to her trade every week, and they are
never heard of outside Of the walls of
these establishments. Her cold
storage industry Is one of these, and
yet it is furnishing a home market for
10000 fat cattle every year. This is
the work of it's infancy, and it fore.
shadows what the work of its matur.
ity will be.

THE multiplying of the small in
dustries of this city goes on continue
ally, and these in the aggregate
yield much larger returns to the city
than one or two large establishments
would, but there is not the public &C
count taken of them that larger plants
would command. The city loses the
advertisement that the larger estab-
lishments would give her, but her
trade Is benefited all the same.

LIGHT SPaRKLERS.

The telegraph news in the LIGHT
comes hot from the wires.
The ropes are being laid by the old
foxes for the city election.
A disputatiOus and con tentious
man should be carefully stunned.
A woman without discretion and
dignity invites attack.
II you want to know the local news
without fear or favor read the LIGHT.
You will find the majority of the
adv 1rtisers in the LIGHT live bust
ness men.
Were Mccall and Lewis knived, is
the question everybody is asking.
Well. it locks that way.
A candidate who sulks and does
not make bold fight, generally gets
left when the vote is counted.
Fast girls will be fast after they are
married, so its best to let them re-
main In single blessedness.
The raising committee for the city
are at work again. Look out for your
taxes next year. The office holders
must have "stuff."
The furious driving of butcher carts
and bread wagons along the streets,
and particularly around street corn ers,
is a positive nuisance.
A man, devoid of back bone. is q
trimmer in everything. A public
officer, without back bone, is nui-
sanca.
One of the most successful gam blers
In San Antonio is said to be a lawyer,
and he Is credited with being part
proprietor of "gilded palace" annex
! TO a saloon.
DR.. Macune will probably start 8
new party and boss it as long as he
can. He was dead weight to the
third party.
The business men of San Antonio
are the main support of Its news
papers. Political organs are general
ly short lived.
There is nothing more disgusting
than meeting on the street a we'll
dressed girl, who is chewing gum as
a COW chews her cud-vigOrousiy out
not gracefully.
There are dangerous holes in the
side walks along our principal streets
that should be repaired by the own
ers of the property bordering on
them. The City fathers" should
see to the matter.
The city should refund to the pro
prietors of disorderly houses, the
license money it forced them to pay
for license that were illegal. Justice
is always proper and conImendable
though it is a luxury corporation
, rarely indulge in.
The moment a candidate is elected
he becomes reserved and dignified
and leaves off shaking hands witt
every body. At the next election
his demonstrative friendliness will
again break out into smiles and hanC
3 snakings.

SCHURZ has no more show for that
