sumed by fire last night The blaze orig
mated from a hot casting box, and for a
time burned merrily in defiance OF the
heroic efforts OF the fremen.
At about l1:30 O'clock the blaze was
seen by the engineer OF one OF the shift
ing engines on the Consolidated road and
an alarm was sounded by the whistle.
Several other engines lent their whistles
to the general uproar and the effect was
soon manifested by the crowds that
fiocked in that direction.
During this time the fire had been blaz-
lug briskly and the crackle OF the wood
ork combined with the roar of the
names made merry music for the specta-
tors An alarm was finallv ruug in from
box IL, at the corner of Aborn and Bourn
streets, an in a few minutes the depart
plent WAS at the scene But short time
elapsed before several streams of water
were poured into the leaping mass OF
seething flames, but it was some time
before there was any perceptible effect.
The building being isolated made The
fghtlng OF the fiames comparatively easy
and had an alarm been at once sent in,
there would probably have been but little
loss. AS it was the entire structure was
ruined, although the portion of the build

were all the books and papers of the con-

David Belasco's al iptation Of the breezy
fun and wit of the bouevards. The he
r1ine is "A little Pennsylvania Quakeress,
travelling in the Spanish Pyrenees, who
meets with a droll adventure, resulting
in most perplexinR complications.
The characters, such as are found at
tourists resort on the continent, are like
a congress OF all naCions and typical in
their way. Hiss Helyett is mixture
of prudishness and coquetry. Her
father, in his broad brim and shad-
belly, constantly quotes from his book of
droll moral maxlms. The music is very
charming, aud in Audran's best vein.
