surance of two-thirds of that sum.
The alarm came about $50 a. m, from
the Fountain Square theater, formerly
known as Blacks opera-house When the
firemen reached the place they found
flames issuing from the rear of Mitchelfs
plumbing establishment. They soon
reached the second story, and then COM
municated with the tlleater.
There was much delay in getting water.
and the theater and the Young Mems
Christian Association building. fine new
structure. were hopelessly involved.
The falling of q wall of the theater
crushed the little jewelry store of Mulhol-
land adjoining and gave rise to the report
that three men had been killed Mr.. Null
holland was known to have just entered
his store before the wall fell, and it was
also known that two men from the great
crowd of bystar,lers had gone in to assist
him to remove goods. These men were
soon rescued, having been sheltered by
wall that was not crushed, but it took a
long time and hard work to reach Mr.. Null
holland. who had been given up as dead.
He was painfully injured, but: will prob
ably recover. The. firemen suffered great
