WORK OF INcENDIARIEs.
Attemp. to Burn the orpheum Thea,er
Building in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4-WhaI the firemen
say was a well arranged plan to destroy
the Orpheum Theater building on Wash
ington street opposite the city hall was
made shortly after midnight The build
ing is a four-story structure and many
Of the rooms are occupied as offices
by various firms. The principal Occu-
pant is the Music Hail Company. now
operating the Orphsun Thearsr.
Assistant Fire Marshall HOran and his
men discovered evidences Of incendiar-
ism in a room on the fourth floor. This
evidence. now in the hands Of the fire
department. consists OF one large bottle
containing gasoline, two glasses half
filed with kerosene oil and several can
dies burned almost 10 the end. The
firemen also have a bundle OF rags
soaked in oil and a quantity Of charred
newspapers. On the floor a train Of
powder was also found.
The fire was first discovered by Pc
destrians who were attracted by what
sounded ike a small explosion. An
alarm was given but the quick arrival
OF the fire department prevented what
might have been a serious fire. The
fact that the explosion occurred after
the theater was closed Is regarded as
most fortunate. Had It occurred ear
lier in the evening disastrous results
might have followed as there were many
people in the house.
