Fall of an Electric Sign Starts AL

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 6.-The Lyceum
theater, Atlanta's vaudeville house, was
destroyed by fire this afternoon. A per-
Torrance was being given at the time
the fire broke out but the audience was
dismissed in time to prevent panic. Fred
Jones, fireman, was rescued, badly
burned, from an upper window. The fire
was preceded by an accident which caus-
ed some uneasiness in the theater. An
immense electric sign extending across
Edgewood avenue in front of the house
fell at 2;30. just as the performance be-
gan, throwing two electricians to the
ground and injuring one of them-Roy
Banner. A network Of wires was thrown
across the street in the vicinity Of the
theater. The wires became crossed and
burned out a feed box at the entrance to
the theater. The smoke found its way
into the opera house and caused consid-
cradle excitement in the audience. Some
of those inside attempted to leave, but
were immediately stopped, and the per-
formance proceeded. One hour later the
roof of the theater was discovered on fire,
and fearing harm the management dis
missed the audience, their exit being ex-
pedited by the ushers. In less than an
hour the theater was in ruins.
Only portion of the wardrobes of the
twelve people playing at the Lyceum this
week were saved All the scenery was
burned. r. Coiey Anderson, manager, says
the loss will be about $4,000, insurance of
$4,000

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov 6.-Dr. Silas
C. Swallow was convicted of falsehoed
today by committee of the Central
Pennsylvania Methodist conference, and
suspended from the ministry until the
next annual conference which will meet
at Shamokin next March. The charges
against DR.. Swallow were preferred by
Rey. Charles V. Hartzel, pastor of the
Vine Street NJ. e. church, of this city,
and grew out of controversy between
Hartzei and Swallow over a publication
in the Pennsylvania Methodist, of which
DIR. Swallow is editor.
Dr, Swallow was the Prohibition NOM

Prohibition and Good Government candi-

ton With AIi-WRter jour-
ney May Not Prove
Profitable.

Sir Thomas J. Shaughnessy, president of
the Canadian Pacific railway, with his
wife and daughter, was in Minneapolis
yesterday. He is a director of the 500
line, and the greater part of the day was
spent with President Thomas Lowry and
General Manager Pennington.
President Shaughnessy was very enthu-
siastic over the prospects of transporting
the heavy products of this country from
eastern points to the Orient, by rail and
water route in competition with a1lwater
transportation.
The matter, he said, was an experiment
and he hoped that j. j. Hill would sue
coed in his undertaking.
Sir Thomas said: 1.-The entire continent
is interested in the future of Asiatic trade
All the transcontinental lines will make
an effort to secure their, share of the
business, and the Canadian Pacific among
them. Our steamship lines to the Orient
have been thoroughly established for
years. | believe we have had the best
steamship service en- the Pacific for eleven
years We have recently added new
steamer to our line, and will add others
as the business demands.
We have net gone into ecstacies over
handling the heavy cheap traffic destined
to foreign points by rail and water route,
as opposed to- the allwater service. 1

ton material produced in the East.

with a great deal of interest. and shall
be pleased to see it demonstrated that a

successfully with an all-water route in
handling the lines of traffic 1 have men
toned
The Canadian Pacific has no impor-
tant extensions in sight They built 800
miles of new road this year. and only ex-
tend taeir lines when trade conditions
warrant
Speaking of the rumor in regard to
prospective changes in the 500 Line man
agement that have been current in New
York reports. he said they. were entirely
without foundation as the management
of the. road was entirely satisfactory.
President Shaughnessy said the Cana
dian Pacific would send the Royal
Train which carried the. Duke and Duch-
ess of York through Canada. across
the northern, part of the United States.
1t will come in from the west over the
Northern Pacific and go east over the
500 Line and other roads.

Eleventh avenues, it may have to hight
an attempt to compel it to submit to the

pay assessments for all city work upon
streets abutting upon its property.
This demand was made by Aid. Rand

ordinance embodying these points.

There is strong belief within
Trinity Norwegian Lutheran church cir
cles that Rev NJ. Falk Gjertsen will
return to Minneapolis within few days,
and Furthermore that he will be a candi-
date for the position of pastor.
1t was expected that Mr.. Gjertsen
would remain away until early in De-
cember. The rumor that he is to re-
turn shortly apears to be well estab
Ilshed.
Should this prove true it will lend adj
ditional interest to the next meeting of
the congregation, which has been called
for next Wednesday evening for the
purpose OF electing a pastor.
1t is well known that there is a con-
siderable faction within the church that
would like nothing better than ito have
the pastor elected to his old position.
The other candidates mentioned are Rev.
u. H. Hegge. of Brooklyn, and Rev.
Gustaye Oftedahl. Both are graduates
of Augsburg seminary.
