Boston, Jan. 2.-Fire broke out with
roar and whoop in the Globe Theater
shortly after / o'clock this morning In
half an hour the whole square bounded
by Washington street, Hayward place.
Harrison avenue extension and Essex
street was threatened with destruction by
one of the fercest conhagrations that has
come upon Boston since the fire in the
same district four years ago.
So quickly did the fire travel that at
les n second alarm was ordered. A third
followed at 1850. At TBS a. m. the flames
burst through the roof of the playhouse
with crack and roar that was heard
for blocks around.
At l:40 the peals of the ieurth alarm,
dreaded by every fireman. rang out, and
every available piece of apparatus within
reasonable reach was either at the scene
of the devouring work of the flames or on
its way thither.
The sight as the flames burst through
the roof was grand one. The light was
visible for miles.
At l:50 the surging mass of people that
surrounded the blazing masses on the
four streets were startled by a tremendous
explosion, which fairly shook the ground
beneath their feet The crowd broke, and
everybody ran for place of safety.
Between this time and 213 a. m. there
were five more explosions in which the
same scenes were repeated. These e~'
plosions were caused, it was stated, by the
presence of gas tanks stored in various
portions of the building, and used for
calcium light effects.
Ats o'clock the entire center of the
playhouse had been fairly burned out.
The flames were still burning in the two
top stories of the Washington street front
In the Harrison avenue extension of the
theater the flames were still burning
fiercely.
On Hayward place, enguling pillows of
smoke and flame belched out. The ground
floor had been entirely burned out and
the apartments of Ham Brock above
were still burning.
The fire was auenched at daylight. The
loss will reach S500,000
The loss to the Hanlon Brothers will be
complete, all the elaborate properties of
"Superba" having been destroyed. The
company carried insurance to the extent
of $4,000 ors15,000.
Manager Stetson places his individual
loss at about 100000 He was not insured
but he states that he will probably rebuild
at once.

was hardly "a hours old when Buffalo was
visited by one OF the most fatal fires
in her history. The scene of the
holocaust which occurred this

lodging house, II Swan street,

was used for a saloon and restaurant.
Shortly before 3 o'clock people passing
heard the large panes of glass in the sa-
loon crack, and a moment later cloud OF
thick black smoke and tongues OF
flames darted out OF the place.
Almost at the same time the front and
side windows of the lodging house
seemed to be alive with panic stricken
people. Two people were burned and 20
others badly injured, at least five OF

Noses as Trophies.

''Les Mnngeurs des Nez" Is the name of
gang of ruflians of Paris which has just
fallen into the hands of the police authori-
ties there. Not content with garroting and
robbing all the unfortunate people whom
they could waylay at night in deserted
streets and dark corners of the great French
metropolis, they also bit off the noses of
their victims, which they carried off and
attached to their caps in imitation of the
red Indian scalpers. Several persons way
laid in the early hours of the morning in
the lonely suburbs are now in the hospitals
minus their noses.

BLACKSTONE PARK ANNEX.
Resolution Before the Council to Acquire
the property.

Resolution Before the Council to Acquire
the Property.
There Is a certain evidence of thorough
ness in detail and suppressed energy in
the new government that is gratifying to
those whose interest in the public well
fare and improvements is sufficient to
cause close attention to the
doings of the members of both branches.
Questions that have been ag itated again
and again, brought to the light only to be
once more consigned to the darkness OF
oblivion, have been seized upon and the
accumulations of dust knocked off and by
summary methods have been disposed of.
Among the very first of these questions
of public interest was that referring to
the enlarging Of Blackstone park. This
park, situated on the west shore Of the
Seekonk river possesses its complement of
attractions and with but COM
paratively little outlay of money
could be made the equal il not the super
ior in beauty of any other park in the
eastern states. Through its centre Is a
narrow ravine, of a certain picturesqueness
and formerly little brook leaped merrily
from stone to stone at the bottom OF the
ravine. High banks of sharp incline
tower above the water way and over all
the heavy growth Of trees cast dense
shadows. In its wild state, but few
years ago, the park was visited by
many who appreciated the beauties Of
nature unsullied by the hand of man.
Although known by name Blackstone
park was known TO but comparatively
few people, and it is only within
the past two years that pub
lie attention has been generally
attracted to it. Eighteen months
or more ago the land owners on either side
OF the park, consisting at the time solely
of the ravine and its banks, tract of
land scarcely 60 feet in width, and ex-
tending from Butler avenue to an inlet or
cove formed by the Seekonk river, decided
considerable land to the city.
This land adjoined the park and
the incorporation with the park land was
made by simply moving back the boun-
Diary fences. Considerable work was done
on the park and its annex with the result
that shortly il became n very favorite
resort.
IL is now proposed To purchase the land
between the eastern boundary OF the park
and the river with some small patches OF
land in sundry other places and to throw
the whole into one vast park,
extending from point Just
above the Cable Cottage to the Butler
Hospital, and from the avenue to the
river. The park will then contain about
120 acres. A resolution authorizing the
annexing of this tract OF land TO the park
was brought mp in the meeting of the
common councilmen yesterday and was
referred 60 the committee on parks.
III the land Is secured, the plan is TO
push the work OF improvements 10 the
very utmost. The grounds will
be graded and cleared A
broad avenue or driveway will be
made through the property and no detail
however insignificant will be allowed To
disturb the harmonious whole. When
completed it is anticipated that in beauty
OF landscape work and in ornamental
decoration blackstone will be ua-
surpassed.

Saved Himself.

An English paper tells good story Of
clerical presence of mind. A curate who
had entered the pulpit provided with one
of the late Rev. Charles Bradley's most re-
cent homilies was for moment horror
struck by the sight of the Rev. Charles
Bradley himself in a pew beneath him
Immediately, however, he recovered enough
self possession to be able to say, 1.-The beau
tiful sermon I'm about to preach is by the
Rev. Charles Bradley, who I'm glad to see
in good health among US assembled here"

JACKsoNvILLE, Fla, Jan. 2.-When the
Corbetf Mitchell case came up in court
this morning, no evidence being
submitted the county solicitor asked for
their discharge from their bonds.
This IL q bad setback for the fight, az
tt was expected to test the law showing
light to be legal.
1t will probably result in no fight.
There are left only two ways for the pro-
moters to follow.
One is to attempt to secure an injunc-
zion restraining the county officials from
Interfering with the contest and the
other to carry the case to the United
