FATAL Fire In new YORK
The Metropolitan Opera House
Almost Totally Destroyed
by Flames
Many Persons Injured and
Several Supposed to Have
Been Burned
A Roslyn Rancher Shot by His
Wife---Free for All Fight
in Kentucky

NEW YORK, Aug. GA disastrous
fire, carrying death with it, broke out
in a large five story building at 1920,
1922, 1924 and 1226 Worcester street, to-
day, and extended through to the side
street. The flames started about 10
o'clock, and spread with such rapidity
that soon the entire building was
ablaze. Five persons were severely
burned or otherwise injured, and it is
feared that Others lost their lives, as
there were over one hundred persons in
the building when the fire started.
Firemen Lacey, Stack and Rice were
frightfully injured by falling wall,
and Fireman Dorywose was also badly
injured in the same way. The latter
was warned Of the threatening disaster
by his companions, but did not under
stand until too late. The building was
occupied by the United States Frame d
Picture Company, Belt, Butler & Co.,
woods and furs; Bloomstock, hats and
caps; w. j. Kelly, publishers, and II.
II. Wagner, paper box manufacturer.
New YORK, Aug. 27-The Metro
politan opera house is on fire. 1t is re-
ported that all on the Seventh avenue
side is already destroyed. Five alarms
have been sent in. 1t is just reported
that fifteen firemen were killed by the
falling of a wall on Worcester street.
The report has not yet been confirmed.
The opera house will be a total loss.
One man, scene painter, was badly
hurt and was removed to the hospital.
The fire is now spreading to the Ged-
ney house. The front part Of the
Metropolitan opera house is saved but
the stage and auditorium were de-
stroyed. 1t now appears that the re-
port of fifteen firemen losing their
lives through the collapse Of burning
wall, is incorrect. All escaped. At
1890 the fire was under control. There
was a scene of desolation then per-
vading the interior of this famous
building, the equal of which has seldom
been seen in this city. There was
great gaping hole in the roof and the
whole interior was gutted. The stage
was destroyed and the rooms adjoin-
ing were burned. The walls of the
building were blackened and some
what injured. The work done by the
firemen was excellent. They poured
great streams of water on the fire and
prevented it from enveloping that part
Of the structure facing on Broadway.
On the Seventh avenue side u wall is
standing unsupported five stories high
and appears solid. The inner wall on
the Thirty-ninth street side has fallen
in. The building is owned by stock
company and is believed to be fully
insured. The damage, though difficult
to estimate, Is placed at about S25O,OO0.
The whole building is valued at more
than 100000 The police estimate the
loss from the opera house fire at
$500. 600

Yearly the farmers draw closer line on

notices Of no shooting can be seen.
According to letters received at this Office
the city hunter will oe compelled TO journey

On the PachecO and De Long estates in

Z. G. Carter, the well-known Eastern

athletic sports are conducted on She other

handicapping system and betting evil are
doing great harm to athletics. Still the
sports are strongly patronized.
"It is imp osible," says Carter, "for any

$3.50. which was given by the people Of the
latter town.
The Australian "dug up" hacker some

place on August 10.
1t is said that 10000 people witnessed the
con test, which was easily won by Gaufaur.

Stevenson is either q very much Ovefrated

day in question. The race: The water
was perfect At the start very slight
breeze was blowing off shore from the west,
but this almost died away In lew minutes
and the water was practically dead calm.
The course was the usual one, famous for
the many contests which have taken place
upon it. 1t lay from the wharf to Lehmans
Point, mile and a half away, and return.

were as hard as iron, and he had the ap-
pearance of a man ft - row the race OF his
life. lie tipped the scales at the same mark.
When the word was given Stevenson,
who had the outside position, dipped ais

He set out at terrific pace, pulling 80
strokes to the minute, and Gaudaur foi-
lowed With 50. The latter looked over his
shoulder at the Australian Tor 800 yards
and rowed q steady race. At the hali-mlle
the men were on even terms and the Aus
tTalian had slowed up 10 Gaudaur's strokes.
At the mile post tie OTlllian was two
lengths to the fore, aud shortly afterwaTd
stopped long enough to take OF his cap,
He made the turn In GAO, aud was al
least four lengths in advance when the
two straghtened out for home. After
that the race was a procession. The
race was the Orllllan's, and everyone was
conscious of it. Gaudaur went steadily
ahead, although Stephenson made q couple
Of useless spurts. The styles Of the men
were totally different In the finish OF the
strokes, the leader using his arms and the
Australian his body. When Gaudaur
