BROOKLYN ACADEMY
OF MUSIC BURNED
Completely Destroyed Last Monday.
No Lives Lost. Building was
Fire Trap. No Insurance.

No Lives Lost. Building was
Fire Trap. No Insurance.
Another historic landmark of
Brooklyn rof the early COS was lost
on the last day of November, by the
destruction by fire of the old Brooklyn
Academy of Music, which has been a
gathering place on many important
occasions for nearly forty~fve years.
The destruction of the Academy will
probably call to mind the burning OF
the Brooklyn Theatre in December,
1876, which was attended with the
loss Of nearly three hundred lives, as
we'll as that of the fire which wiped
out of existence the playhouse OF Hyde
and Behman as recently as 1891.
The fire of Monday was probably
started by the electricians who were
preparing for the banquet to be ten
dered State Senator McCarren at the
Academy that night, and may have
been caused by the crossing of electric
light wires which in turn ignited the
bunting which was being used in the
decorations. Many who witnessed the
fire felt thankful that there were no
people in the structure as the rapid
spread of the flames proved conclu-
sively that the place was a Veritable
fretrap.
Water supply proved entirely itf
adequate and the fire burned so fierce
ly that windows in adjacent buildings
were cracked by the heat.
There was no insurance on the build
ing as the cost per year was considered
too heavy in comparison with the
val1e of the theatre. The stock
holders will probably lose very little
indeed as the site is very valuable and
would be easily salable for the erec-

.All domestic animals should be pro.
yided with proper shelter at night in
this cold weather, and the large ma.
iOrity of people show their animals
this much consideration: yet there are
some farmers i'm Morris county who
fail to provide such shelter from the
weather, incredible as it may seem.
DO they know that there is law
which forbids this form of cruelty to
our live stock ? Our animals have
been for too long dependent on man
to be able to live as do the wild crea-
lures of the woods and plains.

Early Wednesday night thieves broke
into the general store of Mrs. Lewis
Davis on Western avenue and took
away with them about $50 worth of
groceries, and all traces Of the theft
were covered up by the snow, but it
was evident that the burglars effected
an entrance by prying open side
