Narrow Escape from Fire.

Narrow Escape from Fire.
The presence OF mind OF one Of the au-
dience at the entertainment Wednesday
night at the Dohany opera house prevented
what might have proved a terrible disaster.
With the exception of a few persons in the
front of the parquet but few were aware
of the fact that the stage was on fire. Just
after the row of gas Jets on the front Of
the stage had been lighted and before the
curtain had been raised and the children
had gathered with their light, himsy cos
tunes for the opening march, smoke was
seen issuing from near the footlights. Sew
eral of the women in the front row were
with difficulty restrained from leaving their
seats but were persuaded to keep quiet by
one of their escorts, who, without attracting
any undue attention, left his seat and has
tened to the back of the stage. The lights
were at once eXtinguished and investigation
underneath the stage showed that the floor
ing had caught fire from a defective light.
The incipient braze was promptly extin-
guished, the footlights were relit and the
curtain rung up without the audience be-
coming aware Of the fact how close they
had been to a serious fire. The man whose
presence of mind averted a panic was
Charles stephan, the father of the little
dancer who has captvated, with her nimble
feet, the people of this city and Omaha.

TROUBLE FOR BICYCLE TRUST
SpaldinE Requests an Extension of
Time on Options, but Many
Refuse 1t.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The Herald says:
More dissensions have arisen in the Bicycle
trust and threaten to disrupt that giant
combination. When the hundred or more
manufacturers of bicycles and bicycle parts
gave options on their plants to A. G.
Spalding to June l it was understood that
such plants as were accepted by him were
to be paid for in cash by that time
Scores Of manufacturers came to the city
last week with the expectation of closing
their deals with the manager of the trust.
They were more or less indignant when
they wers requested to extend their options
to August 1. 1t now develops that several
Of them made determined protests against
delay, and at least one of the biggest
makers in the combination refused fatty to
renew his option. More than this, the op-
position to the trust that was led originally
by r. T. Coleman was revived and now
threatens to develop more strength than 1t
first possessed.
1t will be remembered that after the
Incorporation of the American Bicycle COM
pany with a capital of $4,000 900 Mr.. Cole
man, who had previously incorporated the
International Vehicle and Manufacturing
company, a much smaller capitalization,
surrendered. The attorney for Mr. Cole
man said yesterday that Mr.. Coleman was
now out of the trust for good having posi-
lively refused to extend the option on his
plant.
Among manufacturers this is taken to
mean that Mr.. Coleman. with the aid OF
several other large bicycle manufacturers,
vehicle and part makers, will follow out his
original intention of fighting the trust at all
points.
