ALMOST 4 FATAL PANIC,
A Small Blaze in the Lyric
Theatre, Hoboken, Alarms
the Audience.

There was a panic i'll the Lyric theatre,
Hoboken, last night, and but for the presence
of mind of some of the ushers and members
of the orchestra, the theatre would have been
ablaze and a catastrophe would have result
ed. The greatest excitement prevailed IN
the audiehee for a few minutes, women
screaming and men climbing over seats.
The incipient panic was nipped just IN time.
| Another minute and the big audience would
have made a wild rush for the doors which
would surely result in a loss OF life.
The attraction was Hoyt's "A Stranger ID
New York and the theatre was CROWDED 10
the doors. 1t was the farewell performance
OF the stock company playing n New York
before going to London. Inc company
PLAYED Saturday night at the theatre. Inc
sale of tickets was large, and at both per-
formances the theatre was packed
In the middle of the first act every light IN
| the theatre went out. The theatre IS lit by
| electricity and a fuse burned out The or
chestra kept on playing and the voices OF
the performers could be heard. The theatre
was in complete darkness and the audience
shifted uneasily.
A stage hand with a flaming light left one
of the wings and proceeded to light the foot
lights. When he had reach about the centre
| of the stage he dropped the flaming torch.
1t fell in the orchestra stand and set tire 70 q
rug in front of the violinist. The rug
blazed up iercely. The theatre being dark
made the glare all the more vivid. Some
one in the gallery shouted fire and III an
instant the audience was in an uprdar.
The ushers ran to their respective aisles
and implored everyone to keep cool The
v%iolinist grabbed the blazing rug and th al;tm
it on thesstage. One of the performers, With
commendable presence of mind, picked up
the blazing rug and carried it behind the
scenes.
In the meantime the widest scramble was
going on in the audience. Several young
women climbed over the rear of seats, and
strong men knocked people right and left IN
their frantic efforts to reach the door. The
ushers kept continually yellingt to the audience
to remain seated and keep cool and the orcnes-
ira started to play. This allayed the excite
ment somewhat and when the electric nights
were again turned Oh and it was seen That
there was no further danger the excited
persons went back to their seats. The Diaz-
ing rug was ~extinguished behind the scenes
by Fireman Goery, who is permanently
stationed at the theatre, and the play pro-
ceeded without further incident.

THAT JACKSON AVENUE TROLLEY.
Probabilities That the Line Will
Run Through Seaview Avenue.

Many Greenville residents and property
owners are now of the opinion that the rea-
son the jackson avenue trolley project is not
being pushed, is that the idea of running a
trolley on West Side avenue is being seri-
ously considered. For a long time the
jackson avenue matter has practically drop
ped out of sight, and some say that they
doubt if the Jackson avenue trolley project
viii ever be agitated again.
It will be remembered that for a year past
committees nave waited on the officials Of
the Traction Company many times to urge
them to take some definite action in the
matter, but somehow or other the scheme
has not been pushed as rapidly as the prop
erty owners would nave liked it to be.
Now some of the property owners are
thinking of p~etltioning the Traction Com
| panyto run the trolley along West Side ave-
| nue. to Seayiew and up Seaview avenue to
Ocean avenue. This would bring the trolley
line right across the western part of that
section, crossing both the Boulevard and
Old Bergen Road. The trolley on West
Side avenue now runs as far as Fulton ave
nue., although the track are laid much fur
Their. The company is anxious to run its
tracks along the proposed line, but the
Chadwick Cotton Mills Company which owns
property along the shore, refuse to sell for
the price offered and the matter has remain
| ed at a standstill.
Originally it was the plan of the Traction
Company to run the trolley up Danforth
avenue to Ocean avenue, but since then the
4 plans have been changed. Many property
owners have expressed their willingness to
give the Traction Company their lots near
the Newark Bay shore if the road can be run
in that direction. This is a big inducement
for the company, but it is doubtful if it will
go to the enormous expense of helping to pay
for the opening ofJackson avenue when the
lots at the foot Of Danforth avenue can be had
for the asking. If the cotton mill people will
agree to the price offered by the company.
Greenville residents may look forward to a
trolley line on Seaview avenue instead of
jackson avenue.
On the occasion Of the Greenville property
owners last visit to the Traction Company,
Manager David Young said that the Trac-
tion Company would let them have a definite
answer in regard to the jackson avenue
trolley by the middle Of this month.

EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT

A splendid meeting of Local No. g Re- tail Clerks Benevolent and Protective as- sociation was held last night in the hall of the association, corner of Third avenue and Nineteenth street, and new enthusiasm was injected into the organization. It was decided to "let down the bars," so to speak, and admit lady members, which action. it Is thought. will result in much good to the organization.
 There are nearly 2Oo saleslades employed in this city, and an effort will be made to interest them in the work of the organiza- ton.
 The association has recently fitted up el- egant quarters, and with the advent of la dy members social features will be given more attention.
 The meeting last night was called to order by President Harry L. White, with secretary Umbenhauer at the desk. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
 Twenty applications for membership were received and were referred to proper com mittees. The early closing movement was
