CHICAGO, Aug. To-day was one OF

tnmbled like an avalanche. Old mem

BIG THEATRE BURNED DOWN
Quarter Of a Million Dollars went up

CAUSED BY A STAGE GAS JET
The only thing Saved Was . Property
Fire Engine, one ofthe Adjuncts
of the Piece.
Associated Press.

Omaha, Oct. 1.-While the stage
hands of the Farnham Theater were
setting the scenery for the production
of "The Waits of New York. just be-
fore o'clock this afternoon, a piece of
canvass caught fire from q gas jet and
in a very short time the whole inside
of the theater was a roaring mass of
flames. The whole fire department was
summoned and the men had a terrible
struggle, the flames not being brought
under control until after o'clock. The
firemen were greatly hampered at first
BY the network of wires outside the
building, and it was not until force of
electric light linemen cut them, that
effective work was accomplished, They
were also troubled during the height of
the fire by alarms from five other sec
tions Of the city, necessitating the with
drawal of portions of the force, The
theater was a five-story structure and
while the fire was burning most fiercely
the back wall fell out, badly damaging
building in the rear, fatally injuring
j. M. Gainor, and painfully wounding
a number of other men in the crowd.
Many were knocked down and trampled
on but no one was seriously injured. In
side the theater two firemen were bad
ly injured by the falling in of the dome
over the stage. The theater was owned
by the American Loan and Trust Com.
pany. 1t was valued at $250,OO0 and
there was Insurance on 1t for 100000.
The loss to the owners of the theatrical
company is about $4,000, and the mem
bers of the company lose all their be-
longings. A singular point is that the
only piece of property saved was the
fire engine used in the play, which had
not yet been on the stage.

Wlkland. Deloney. his wife and three
children, Miss Bette Benson. and John
Wikland, comprised the party who had
been picking berries at the sand hills.
2'hey embarked for home early In the
afternoon. When about sixty yards
from the shore d gust of wind came up
and caused the sail to jibe. which
knocked Wikland out of the boat and
capsged Il. throwing all the occupants
into the water. They held onto the
boat, however, and Dcloney s'arted to
swim to the shore with his five-year-
old boy. lie had not gone far though,
until they sank and were drowned,
Wikland also started TO swim ashore,
but succumbed in few minutes. Miss
Benson laid sail natl across the boat
to prevent 1t from turning over and IN
this way padded to shore. In The mean-
time the latter girl fell off and was
drowned. The bodies of Deloncy and
his son were recovered today.

on the compromise terms, but with no
satisfactory result, says a morning pa
per. 1t is understood that the reply he
has authorized Carlisle to give the ad-
socates of compromise, is that he
will not listen to q compromise until
supreme effort has been made by the
friends of unconditional repeal to avail
themselves of their conceded strength
as a majority in the senate to force a
vote. If the effort fails, then he may

lesser of two evils The silver senators
assert that they are certain of support

The senators who have been most
active in trying to effect a comprom-
Use repeal bill do not express them
selves as discouraged by the outlook
this morning. They say that nothing
is likely to transpire in that direction
during the present week, but express
the opinion that the beginning of next
week will see change in the situation
by which time the senat will
be more thoroughly impressed with the
futility of the effort to pass the pend
Ing bill in its present shape. The ex-
treme men on both sides are still hold
ing out stiltly, however. and II there's

THEY ARE TAKING COMFORT.

Washington, Oct 1.-Some silver ad-
vocates who have been studying the re-
peal bills proposed in the senate by
Voorhees,, and in the house by Wilson,
have reached the conclusion that from
a silver standpoint, the passage of Ell
ther of these bills, instead of proving
an unmixed evil, may be a real benefit.
They claim that the enactment of either
of these bills into law will have the ef-
feet of restoring the free coinage of
silver. Their reasoning is to the follow
ing effect: The repeal leaves untouched
the fifth section of the Sherman act
which repeals the purchasing clause Of
the Bland-Allison act. This, they argue,
leaves the Bland-Allison act in full
effect.

strongest pressure. Siam will not be al

csc, France reserving the right to de-
eide If the punishment is adequate. ST.
am must surrender all French subjects
and property. The clause providing for
French supervision of trials is espec-
tally denounced by the foreign resi-
dents as a complete violation of treaty
rights and the prolonged Occupation of
Chantaboon is regarded as endangering
the Independence of Siam.
