About 1880 o'clock. passere-by saw q
Pickering light In the rear portion OF the
Elysian theatre buildlng-formerly a
skating rink-loeated at the corner OF
Belmont and Th!rty-slxth streets. An
alarm OF fire was at once turned in, but
In an incredibly short time the entire
wooden structure was a mass OF fire. and
when the fire department arrived after a
severe struggle In the rough now
covered streets, no attempt vas made to
save this building.
Instead, the efforts OF the flrement were
turned in the direction of saving ada
cent property. which was threatened by
the fire In the Elysian, The blaze rose
high In the air and for miles around Bel
laire the sky was illuminated. II was but
q short time when the theatre building
had been entirely destroyed, Its style Of
construction--a skeleton f~rame--being OF
a kind upon which the fire fed greed!ly.
North OF the theatre, on Belmont
street, stood three residences, which
were threatened. The first of these Is d
brick house occupied by Rev. H. A.. l..
King. and beyond are two frame houses
occupied by Isaac Blum and County
Treasurer W. c, Bersundthal respective
". BY hard work the fire department
saved the three, but II 1t were not that
the King house was OF brick, all would
have been destroyed.
In the rear of these houses In the same
square, is located a large three-story
brick and frame structure occupied by
William Bradley. undertaken and up

nearest to the burning theatre-caught
fire. but the blaze was extinsuished after
hard work. The flying sparks covered
the building in a binding shower, and
soon the building was again on fire near
the roof. This time the fire secured an
entrance into the building. and before 1t
had been placed under control had dam

Injured the stock. Five streams OF water
were kept directed On the Bradley build
ing, but In the face of these tons OF
water the fire attacked the building.
The Eiysian theatre building was built
in 1883 by John McDermott, and was
used as a skating rink, the roller skating
craze being at its height at that time.
Later it was converted into a theatre, its
ownership passing to John Christal, for
merly of Bellaire and now a resident OF
Fulton. back Of Wheeling. who also
owns the ground. The theatre has been
conducted by Edward Moore. He loses
a piano, scenery and other property.

a Failure OF Justice.
lNew Yorl. Tlmes.l

Judges are IN the habit of deploring the
popular failure OF respect for the admin
istration OF Justice. AS a matter of fact,
the mass Of people desire 20 respect the
courts. and to believe that the article IN
which they deal is justice. and that they
dispense it with reasonable promptness
and certainty But this IS "a belief hard
to maintain with respect 10 all courts in
the face OF the facts. WiTh respect 20
speedy Justice the United States holds the
lowest place Of any civilized nation. The
laws delays. which are normal In this
country would not be tolerated in Eng
land or France or Germany.
II we got "a purer article by waiting
longer we might put up with the delay
But the laws delays are not In the inte-
rest of Justice. They are evidently and no
toriously in the interest of the lawyers
And as to the final outcome. who can
believe that IL is justice which has been
done upon Augusta Mack i'm a sentence OF
fifteen years reducible by good behavior
TO nine years. eight months. and four
days? The proposition IS upon the face
CT IL moustrous and absurd.

which the yellow journals for months poi-
soned the atmosphere Of this community.

ed upon the killing of Guldensuppe be-
tokened either long experience or abnor-
n al insensibility. or three men with whom
she had lived she deserted the first, muir
dered the second. and betrayed the third.
The story she told about the murder may
possibly be true, though its truth IS net
tier established nor TO be assumed But
even if Il is, hers was equally the con-
irving head. and Thorn's only the exc
cutting hand. He seems to have been a

cipal.

prosecuting her for g. capital crime. But,
even So the imprisonment for life which
is provided for murder I'm the second de-
gree would have been the utmost leniency
that could be justified. Instead OF that,
the Public Prosecutor accepts her plea or
gsilty OF marsiaughter In the first degree.
v hch she no more committed than she
committed arson. and the Judge threw or
five years from the maximum penalty for
even this offence, apparently as a tribute
OF respect or sympathy on his own &C.
count.
If courts desire that the administration
OF Justice shall be respected, their best
course Is to make II respectable.
