Panic in a Paris Theater.

During the performance of NJ. Sar-
dou's new play, Pamela" at the
Vaudeville recently, strong odor OF
burning spread throughout the theater.
and the spectators perseived light
column of smoke rising from the right
of the stage. Some one, in alarm. shout
ed 'Fire!" At once q considerable mum
Der of spectators rose from their seats
and rushed toward the doors. The or
chestra stallswere enlptied in an incred-
IDLY short time but not without several
persons being knocked down and
trampled on by the panic-stricken peo-
pie rushing on from behind. NJ. Rouf-
fand, the Police Commissary. who occu-
pied a seat in the dress circle, came for
ward, shouting to the people to keep
their seats, assuring them that there
was absolutely no danger. He sue
ceeded in some degree in allaying the
panic. Most of the ladies and gentle
men who had not reached the door re-
turned to their respective seats.
The performance was about to be re-
sumed, when another incident occurred.
Some figurantes in light dresses We're
on the stage with Madame Reiane.
Suddenly these young women took
fright and fled away holding their
skirts tightly around them. to prevent
them from catching fire. Every person
in the theater sprang to his feet, and
the panic would certainly have been
terrible had it not been for the presence
of mind of Madame Rejane. She came
forward to the footlights, and in u loud
voice told the public that there was alb
solutely no danger. She said: cit is
nothing but bit of electric wire burn
ing its india rubber coating. They are
going to cut it off. Please sit down and
keep calm" She then set the example
by sitting down on the prompter's box.
She added, laughing: When you are
all back in your seats we win so on and
try to amuse you" Madame Rejane
earned for these words applause which
was as we'll merited as any she had
ever won. Her sang froid prevented a
a panic which might have had tragic
results. The electrician cut the wire.
and the performance was resumed. and
the doctor of the theater was occupied
in dressing the slight wounds and bruis-
es of the persons who had been tram
pied down during the first moments OF

SAD AFFAIR.
Little Charley Leroy Drowned in
China Slough.

Yesterday morning Charles Leloy, the
nine-year-old son of Mrs Thomas Har-

The boy with several others, was at
the railroad depot, where he left them
with the avowed intention of walking
over to town on the old sewer pipe that
runs along and under the old Third
street foot bridge. and which is sew
eral feet above the water in China
Slough. He had walked on the pipe but
a short distance when he fell into the

made no attempt to rescue him.
After having been in the water for a
half hour the body was recovered by
Matt McGrath. Charles Leloy was a

was indicted into Office this week
The oath was administered by Mr.J.
A. Greever, who has filled the Office
80 acceptably for two years. That
Mr.. Doak will be a worthy successor
to the retiring Mayor no one has the
slightest doubt. He is we'll informed
on questions pertaining to interests
of the town, and has the courage of
his convictions. His popularity
was attested in the feet that he re-
ceived every vote cast, which has
seldom been the case in the history
of the town Mr. Doak is not
without experience in this office. He
was Mayor when the town granted
license to sell liquor, and those were
shot times in the old town." and the
Mayor had need for all bis courage
and firmness. He has questions and
problems to solve now equally i'm
portant and grave. but more diff
cult, probably, to get at. The new
Council is composed of good men,
and we have every reason to expect
a successful administration.
