The Henrietta Theater In Columbus
i Burned TO the Ground and Inc
| Company Playing There Lost All
Their EHects-The Fire Spread TO
the Chittenden Hotel and the Park
Theater and Both Are In Huins--
/ one Life at Least Was lost.
CoLuMBUs, Ohio, Nov. Sire broke
out In the new Henrietta thester tonight
and In less than an hour and q half this
elegant play house, the Ch.ttendsn hotel
aud auditorium and the Park theater were
In ruins. Felix Morris, In the "Psper
Chase" was playing ct the Henrietta thea
ter, and the orchestra had just aniahed the
overture, when Manager Ovens appeared
| on the stage and informed the audience
that there was q small blszs In the rear of
the theater and suggested that they leave
the building. The audience did 30 In good
order.
The members of the company were
dressed for their parts and, as they were
assured the thester was hreproof they made
no effort to remove their vsrdrobes. In q
few moments the flames, which first sp.
peared In the large auditorium adjoining
the theater broke ont in the rear and al
most instantly the whole proscenium was
sblsze. The company fed In their stage
clothing. The manager saved almost moth
ing. A high wind famed the flames 80
that when the fire department arrived the
theater was doomed and the Chitteuden
hotel. adjoining on the east, was burning.
Andrew Armstrong, stage hand, who
worded above the scenery, appeared at q
fourth-story window and cried for help.
BE was told not to jump and he would be
saved. He then disappeared from the
window and was not seen again. The
walls of the theater fell in soon after So
far as now known this was the only life
lost.
The guests of the Chittendsn hotel had
ample time to escape, but few of them
saved any property. Steadily the flames
worked away at the fine hotel, the fire de-
psrtment being apparently helpless. In an
hour after the fire broke out In the Henri
eta the hotel was fast falling into ruins
North of the hotel stood the Park thea
ter. Gray and Stephens, with their trained
dogs and ponies, were giving an exhibition.
The curtain was suddenly Iung down and
the audience Informed that the hotel was
on FIRE. The audience went out slowly.
half an hour later this theater, which
was frame and very combustible, was in
ruins. Here, also, the company lost much
property, but saved their animals.
Governor Mckinley lived at the Chit
tendsn, but both he and Mrs. Mckinley
are in the east now. The private property
Of value that the governor had in his
apartments was saved by Captain Heistand
of the regular army, who happened to be
in the hotel.
The fire destroyed the whole square
bounded by High, Spring and Front
streets and the first alley north of Spring
street. The fire probably originated from
q defective fue in the theater.
The engineer of the theater, named
Thompson, is missing, but IS his duties
kept him in the basement it Is not likely
that he has been burned. Many fremen
were injured by falling brick.

accompanied by several companies OF

SENATE FINANCE con1M1rrEE.
Discussion of the Silver Question Goes
Over Until Next Week.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The Demo-
Gratis of the Senate do not propose being
forced by the Republicans into hasty
action upon silver and have resolved that
no forward step will be taken until they
have agreed among themselves upon a
plan OF action that shall secure the sup
port of a united party, so when the
finance committee came together this
morning Chairman VOORHEES, announced
that the majority wished time to discuss
and agree upon line OF action and there
fore desired that the silver question
should not be brought forward at the
meeting. By Tuesday he hoped the SUBJ
ject would be IN order.
The Republican members, save Jones
of Nevada, who aged in the room only
a few minutes after learning of his
mothers death, expressed dissatisfaction
at the programme and announced that
they were ready at once to proceed to a
discussion and action as the president
had called attention to the need OF
speedy legislation but as they re-
allied that the simple expression of
the wish of the majority was equivalent
to formal motion which would undoubt-
eddy prevail, they made no further resist
ance to the Voorhees, suggestion, and the
silver question was relegated to next
week so far as the finance committee is
concerned.
EThe committee took up and discussed a
proposition to allow national banks to
issue circulation to the face value of the
bonds deposited in the treasury. 1t was
urged that this result would be more i'm
mediateiy beneficial than any other sug-
gested, as it would add large sum to the
money in circulation as quickly as the
notes could be printed. 1t was made clear
for the first time in many years that there
was a possibility of legislation favorable
to national banks in the line indicated,
for, although no vote was taken, the dis
cussion appeared to indicate a leaning
towards the measure by majority of the
committee. The danger, however, Lies
in an attempt to cumber the bill with
amendments that will involve the whole
silver question and prevent a disposition
OF the measure on its own merits.

General Tracy, in an Interview, Says 1t
Can Be Remedied.


NEW YORK, Aug. 1o.-General Benja-
min F. Tracy, ex-secretary of the navy,
today talked of the currency famine, he
said: 1.-THE administration has ample
power to relieve the currency famine in
forty EIGHT hours by exercising the
authority with which it is clothed by
statute, and IL may be done in either OF
two ways. There are more than three
hundred million standard silver dollars In
the treasury department at Wash
ington. The secretary has power to de-
post such portion of this $500, 000, 000
as he may chose in national banks
which have been designated as national
repositories and being there deposited
they would at once enter into circulation.
The third section of the act known as the
Sherman act provides that he shall coin
of silver bullion purchased under the
provisions of this act as much as may be
necessary to provide for the redemption
of treasury notes herein provided for, and
any gain or seignorage arising from said
coinage shall be accounted Tor and paid
into the treasury.
s.There is in the treasury about 40,
00O000 ounces of silver bullion for which
treasury notes have been issued and no
standard silver dollars have been coined
with which to redeem them. The secre-
tary of the treasury is therefore at liberty
to direct that these 140 900, 900 ounces be
coined into standard silver dollars and
the profits or seignorage which would
accrue to the United States would at once
avail for use by the treasury. That would
give the treasury profit upwards of $780,
600, O90.''
The scarcity of currency was very great
again today and money brokers' offices
were thronged with customers who were
selling their boards at big premiums.
Money brokers were getting AZ per cent.
for currency today. They were contract
ing to deliver gold at Ok per cent. and
| foreign exchange was proportionately
strong In consequence.
The time for delivering of national bank
notes after recent applications for them
has been reduced from twenty to four
teen days, and orders are coming in at
the rate of SO, ZOO, 600 day.
The sub-treasury at San Francisco has
been ordered to send s., 000. 900 in gold tc
the sub-treasury at New York.

THB AUGUST CROP REPORT.
Drouth Causes a Decline in the
Condition OF Corn.
WHEAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
Oats, Rye and Barley Promise a Good
Yield.
The Fruit Crop, of Course. Has Been
Damaged, Especially Peaches in the
Eastern and Middle States, While
the West Has Good Crop.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-The August
report of the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture shows that the condi-
ton of corn has declined little over six
points during the past month, the aver
age for the entire breadth being 81 against
91.2 for July. This decline is due to
drought, which has proved both extern
sive and persistent, while in some parts
OF the country continued dry weather has
injured the crop beyond recovery. 1t is
nevertheless true as to the larger portion
of the area devoted thereto that improve
ment is not only possible, but with suffi-
cient rainfall through August crop will
be assured The averages in the principal
states are: Illinois, 81; Iowa, 102; Kan
sas, 80; Nebraska, "a.
There has been considerable falling off
in the condition of spring wheat since
last month, which, amounting to some
thing over ten points, the average con-
dition of the present month being 81 as
against n. a for the month of July. The
condition by states is as follows: Wis
consin 20. Iowa 81, Nebraska IS, South
Dakota IS.
This decline of ten points is the result
of too high temperature and deficient
rainfall. In the spring wheat states,
drought Is prevalent over extensive areas
and has done much damage. Much in
jury has also been done this crop by the
chinch bug and rust in several states.
The condition of spring rye in August
is 1876 as against SO in July.
The condition of oats has fallen 10
points since the July report, being 1913 as
compared with 89.S last month, while in
August, 1892, it stood at S6.2. 1t is the
| lowest condition reported in August for
many years.
august returns for barley SHOW slight
decline in condition from that of last
month, being 81. 6 against S6.3 in July
The acreage of buckwheat is reported at
96.3, and the condition at S8.S.
The condition of potatoes has declined
nearly nine points in the last month, and
now stands at So. The condition in Aug
ust has only been lower twice in the last
decade.
The condition af timothy is 1915 as
compared with 93.2 in 1892. The hay
crop, on the whole, is large, and has gen.
orally been secured in good condition.
| The general average of tobacco fell from
SO on July 1st to s2-2 on the list inst.
| A still further decline in the condition
of apples is made evident by the returns
of August, in many states complete
failure is reported. The drought has
done damage to peaches in the Atlantic
peach belt, and a further decline is noted
in Michigan, where the fruit has dropped
severely. California has a good crop OF
excellent quality, an abundant crop OF
grapes is promised at this date. Per-
centages of July have been generally well
maintained. Dry weather has tended to
check the spread of rot and mildew.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 12.-Jack
Dempsey the ''Nonpareil," is at st.
Joseph's hospital in st. Paul, where he
has been since last Monday. He is suf-
fering from severe mental strain. Physi-
clans at the hospital think that
brooding over past defeats has caused
his mind to become temporarily I'M
hinged. Dempsey has also been drink
ing considerably of late. To see himself
stigmatiZed as a coward and afraid to
meet Smith, has nearly broken his heart.
Monday morning he walked across the
street from the Merchants hotel and ac-
cording to an officer, said: s'Here, you
fellows have been breaking in my door
ever since l have been here. If you want
to arrest me here l am, take me.'' The
officer arrested him and later he was sen

NASHVILLE BANKS.
The American National Bank of That
City Forced to Close.

City Forced to Close.
NASHVILLE. Tenn, Aug. 10-The
American National bank has suspended.
The Safe Deposit, Trust and Banking
Company has taken advantage of the
sixty day notice.
The American National was one of the
strongest in the city, capital 81, 000, 600;
surplus $780, 900. The suspension was
the result of run caused by the suspen-
sion OF the First National last evening,
in spite of the published card by the
officers saying the bank was perfectly
solvent and pledging their personal estate
to depositors.
A run is also in progress on the Fourth
National. 1t has a capital of 81 600, 600;
surplus 5000, 900. 1t is considered per-
fectly solvent. The Safe Deposit Trust
and Banking Company has posted a
notice that depositors are safe for every
dollar.
The run on the Fourth National bank
ceased at $50. Bank officials say the de-
posits of the day were almost equal to the
Withdrawals,
