gallery. Cutting away portion of the wall, they discovered the cause of the smoke. The fire had crept along the wall of the theater and was eating its way to the gallery. After covering the furniture of the theater with tarpau- lins, Chief Sullivan ordered his men to cut away the portion of the wall which was on fire. A hose was then run into the theater and stream played on the burning embers.
 When the first cry of fire was raised there was considerable excitement be- hind the scenes. The performers were making up" for their various parts in their respective dressing rooms. When the smoke was discovered the women members of the company became alarmed and started to leave, unmind- full of their stage costumes.
 One of them in her haste to escape from the burning building ran out, her stage wig tightly clutched in one hand and powder rag in the other.
 The men remained perfectly cool, and greatly assisted the women in moving their effects to a place of safety.

Fred Meyer, the janitor, says he was walking down the main aisle of the theater when he detected the smell of smoke.
 Realizing that something was wrong,' he said, when relating his ex- perience after the flames were extin- guished, T jumped on the stage and entered the wings" The members of the company had also discovered the smoke, and seemed to be alarmed over it. l told them not to get excited, and leaving the stage I informed MT. Gottlob. There were not many people in the audience, as it was too early to put in an appearance. MT. Gottlob made a nice speech to the few people who were present, in which he said that one of the members of the com pany was sick, and for that reason there would be TO performance. They then filed out of the theater, and it was not until the alarm was rung in and the engines rattled up to the building that it dawned upon them that a fire was in progress.
 After they had left l went upstairs to see if I could discover the cause of the smoke. After considerable trouble I discovered the blaze between the two walls. I quickly got a bucket of water, but finding efforts useless I ordered one of the men who was with me to turn in the fire alarm.
 ''I am firmly convinced that the fire was due to a flue which is situated on the south wall of the building. As soon as 1 saw that a serious fire was inn minent l aroused the roomers in the lodging-house and told them of their danger. Some of the women ran from

 Andrew Wood, one of the proprietors of the Auditorium saloon, was one of the first to discover the fire. He was standing in his saloon when he noticed smoke arising from a dummy waiter which is in the rear of the place.
 T first thought that the smoke was coming from the restaurant under neath." he said last night, but as if seemed to grow in volume I concluded to make an investigation Looking up the chute through which the dummy waiter runs ] was nearly overcome by smoke. Rushing up stairs I saw that the building was on fire and raised an alarm. Fortunately the flames did not reach the saloon, but we no doubt had narrow escape. The water from the tower poured into the saloon, and despite the use of tarpaulins. created

BODY WAS NOT DISSECTED.
J. B. Wilson Bequeoths His Body to O Physician opd Then
 OutliVes Him.

The last will of J. B. Wilson was filed for probate yesterday, but it is certain that one of the grewsome wishes of the testator will not be full filled. The will was written and signed by the decedent many years ago. In it he bequeathed his body to Dr. Weldon. who resided in life at 23S2 Mission street for dissecting purposes, but re- quested that his bones be cremated af- ter the scalpel had stripped them of flesh. Four years ago, however, the physician to whom Wilson beQueathed his body died. In consequence the tes- tatOr's remains were inferred without being disfigured.
 In the following paragraph of the will Wilson gives his son, James Rae Wilson, $100. and his granddaughter $300 The balance of the decedent's es- tate is bequeathed George H. Wilson. his eldest son.

 Mathews, who takes the part of Payne in the performance and Is sup posed to take things easy, swallowed smoke, which pained him, and he did not carry out his part. but took things uneasily. Harry Bulger dropped his plumbing set in the dressing-room and followed. At this point the ladies were thought of, and Mathews returned, but Bulger would not budge from the front door, which he had reached in safety.
 All performers in the piece forgot their lines and reversed the part they take before the footlights, with the ex- ception of Thomas Evans, who slaves all those who will stand 1t nightly. He had his razor with him, and it came in very handy, procuring an opening in the crowd which had gathered Mark Hart, who is ''an arm of the law" was sent out of the dead line by an officer, and Basil Booth went in search of a tonic

That was possibly from a desire to see his fellow members get out in safety. The flames could then be seen, and Harold MontroSe concluded that it was "his move" Jane Whitbeck knew her place. but wouldn't keep it, and Josie de Witt, who is supposed to have money to burn but no matches, was glad of it.
 Then came the members of the "Dra- matic School" and a "cornucopia of terpsichorean confections," all huddIed together, which made their part seem exceedingly realistic. The sign on the bills, Just tell them that you saw us" was uttered and the cornucopia dis appeared in search of a dry place.
 Last but not least came J. Schwartz with a drum in one hand and a trunk on his back. closely followed by friends and admirers. Ali members of the troupe and many of the audience agree that Gottlob's speech was a masterpiece so far as the rapidity of execution was concerned.

 It is said that there were forty room CTS in the lodging house, who were damaged from $25 to S100 each.

COMITY AMONG POLICE JUDGES Meeting Has Been Called to Adopt a Code of
 Rules.
Presiding Judge Campbell De- SireS Certain Evils Discussed
 and Remedied.
One of the Most Important Will Be the Acceptance of Bonds in
 Appeal Gases.

Judge Campbell, as presiding judge of the police courts, has called meet ing for tomorrow afternoon at which the prosecuting attorneys of the four courts will be asked to be present.
 The object of the meeting is to agree upon code of rules of procedure, such as is in existence in the Superior courts. Hitherto from jealousy, indif- ference or some other cause, there has always been a lack of harmony among the police judges and 1t is thought the time has arrived when an end should be put to such an unsatisfactory state of affairs. Hence the meeting to-mor- row afternoon.
 The recent trouble between Judges Low and Campbell over the Sidney kellett bond, which was taken into the Supreme Court, has had much to do with the calling of the meeting. One of the rules will be that no appeal bond shall be accepted except by the com hitting judge. and it is possible that the rule will go even further and in- clude bonds for the release of prisoners held to answer before the Superior courts and bonds to be accepted for
 
 warrants issued from a particular court. At least this will be suggested, and if adopted will remedy a cause for many annoyances.
 In support of the ruie 1t is pointed out that the judge holding a prisoner or issuing a warrant of arrest is fa- miliar with the facts and cannot be. therefore, imposed upon by false rep resentations, as has been too often the case.
 Another suggestion, and a very proper one, is that one judge with his warrant clerk shall be on duty every afternoon, Sundays excepted, for issu- ing warrants and attending to other matters that may crop up. The courts are often closed for the day by noon, and people anxious to get a warrant are compelled to wait till the next day, which has often entailed considerable annoyance and the escape of the per son sought to be arrested Judge Joachimsen has for some months re- mained in his chambers every fourth week till 4 o'clock in the afternoon along with Assistant Prosecuting At torney Drury for this purpose, and 1t has proved beneficial in many ways.
 Judge Conlan did not attend the meeting Wednesday when Judge Campbell was appointed presiding judge, as there was a difference of opinion between him and Judge Camp bell over the appointment of a French interpreter to the courts, but 1t is thought that will not keep him from attending the meeting tomorrow in view of the important matters to be discussed
