THE NEW TERMINAL STATION AT
 BOSTON.

Some idea of the magnitude of the undertaking in building the worlds greatest terminal station now nearing completion may be obtained from few interesting figures in connection with the details of the work. One of the most expensive of the details will be the construction and laying of 34,000 square feet of mosaic work provided for in the specifications of the great head house. In the main waiting room alone 14,625 feet of this style of flooring will be laid. Work is now progressing on fourteen of the tracks under the arin- shed. It will take 3.1 miles of steel to complete the covered trackage, of the surface and nine-tenths of a mile for the subway within the station area. Ten high pressure boilers have arrived for the power r-house. These will be ca pablo of developing an aggregate of 2,000 horsepower.
 Upon its completion special attention will be given to the details in the man. agement of the great structure, and this has been given careful attention. The employees will be attired in neat suits of gray, with black trimmings, the hat resembling the style worn in the regular army. A broad black band will encircle the lower part, with a white braided cord in front. Each man will be carefully instructed in his spe- cial line of duty, and the strictest kind of discipline will be insisted upon at all times.
 South Boston should, within a week at the furthest, have convenient rail connection to and from the city proper. The Elevated Railway company is put ting in a connection at the corner of Summer street, while another is being made via the old Federal street bridge and Dorchester avenue extension. With these lines in running order South Bos- ton patrons will be enabled to reach any part of the city with greater fla cility than ever before. From the bridge the run will be without inter- ruption, and embrace a view of Fort Point channel and three sides of the big railroad station.-Boston Tran script.

STAGE FIRE.

A Panic Averted by Prompt and Direct
Action.
There was fire on the stage of Ferguson's
theatre during the performance last night
but very few people who were in the audience
knew of it until after they left the theatre.
This was due to the good judgment of the
people who saw the blaze. The audience was
large one and had some thoughtless person
cried Fire p and precipitated panic there
doubtlessly would have been disaster to
record to-day.
Just before John l.. Sullivan and his spar
ring partner were to appear the stage was
cleared of all distractions and the wings
pushed back as close as possible to the walls.
While Sullivan's appearance was awaited one
of the right wings caught fire from an uupro-
tected gas get A man in the audience
quietly called the attention of performer
who stood on the stage to the blaze and the
fire was extingushed before it had consumed
more than piece of the wing about foot
square.
