TENDERLolN LIGHTS TO SHINE.
The New York Under World Prepar,
ing to Celebrate Advent Of
Tammany.

NEW YORK, Dec. 81. Unusual acz5
tivity in the Tenderloin region served
as reminder of those who strolled
that way today that change in the
administration Of Greater New York
was at hand. Notorious resorts that
have been closed during the Low ad-
ministration have been furnished and
redecorated and othe rwise prepared
for a grand opening When Trinity
chimes ring in the New Year tonight
and also the first day Of the admins
tration of Mayor Mcclellan and his
Tammany associates there will be
celebrations and festivities in the re-
gion about Twenty-ninth street and
Broadway which promises to put all
past performances in the shade.
The Haymarket, II Is said. will shine
again in Its glory and the Tivoli Ber.
lin and other resorts of similar char
acter that have been dark or at least
subdueJ for months past will throw
wide open their doors. Most interest
ing of all the reports current today
is one to the effect that there will be
a re-opening Of the Emoire. In West
Twenty-ninth street. This place
has been closed ever since waiter
named Tobin murdered Captain Craft
there and hid his body in the cellar
after heheading 1t and casting the head
into the furnace 1t Is said the resort
will Ne re-opened under the manage
ment Il James Gilmore, an ex-convict.
Whatever the truth may prove in re-
gard TO these rnmors. the impression
is general IN the tsaierloin that there
will be no polico Interference with the
proposed gayety. One old Tenderlon.
er, who has been through previous re.
forms. voiced the general sentiment
today when he said: The last cleo.

York wanted the old times back. and

ANOTHER SERIOUS CHARGE.
The Reason Why Military Declined
to Liberats Victor Poole.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Dec. .3I.--
The reason for the resistance by
the military of the application fer
a writ Of habeas corpus made by
Victor Poole, confined in the milf
tary prison, has just become.
known through the filing Of a
complaint against him charging
assault with intent to murder This
arises out of the white .capping
and robbing Of H. S. McCcliech-
cr, in March, 1902. The victim
was accused Of being a spy and
one night was taken from the sal
oon bodily and after being badly
beaten was robbed by three men.
Poole will now be turned over to
the civil authorities by Col. Yer-
deckburg.

J CHICAGO. Ill. Dec. 81

The most appalling catastrophe
Chicago has known with the eX-
ception Of the great Chicago fire,
and which in its horrors surpass-
es even that terrible calamity, oc-
CURED yesterday afternoon during
the first matinee 70 be given in the
new Iriquois theatre. which has
iilst been completed.
III the second act Of MIR. Blue
beard in which Eddie Foy was
starring, while the new playhouse
was crowded with women and
children out for the holiday matt
nee, a fire broke out on the stage
which spread with such lightning
speed that within ten minutes af-
ter the first alarm GOO people were
killed. To add to the horror the
ascetaline gas tanks where they
had been trampled down took fire.
When the fireinen entered the
building the dead were found
stretched in pile reaching from
the head Of the stairway at least
eight feet from the door back to
a point about five feet in the rear
of the door. This mass of dead
bodies IN the center Of the door
way reached within two feet Of the
top Of the passageway Az the
corpses at this point were women
and children. The fight for life
which must have taken place at
these two points is simply beyond
human power TO describe. Only
a faint idea could be derived from
the bodies as they lay. Women
on top of masses of dead had beer
overtaken by death as they crawl
ed On their hands and knees over
the bodies Of those who had died
before, with hands grasping cloth
ing evidently torn from the cloth
ing Of others whom they endcav-
ored to pull down in the struggle
for life.
AS the police removed layer al
ter layer of dead the sight became
too much even for the police and
firemen. The bodies were in sucl
an extricablc mass and SO tightly
were they iammed between the
the sides of the doors and wal
that it was impossible to lift then
one by one and carry them out
The only possible thing to do was
to seize a limb and pull with mair
strength. Men worked at the tasl
with tears running down theis
checks and the sobs of the rescuers
could be heard in the hall below
where the awful scene was being
enacted.
Five hundred and sixty-five wa:
the number of the dead estimated
at midnight last night. When III,
asbestos fire curtain had failed L
work, a strong draft sent tn,
flames out across the auditorium
and galleries where the FIRE did il,
most appalling execution. Her.
people were found dead in thcil
seats with their faces still tnrne(
toward the stage as II watching
the play. The ascetalinc gas adj
ded to the death rate most appal'
lingly killing those whom the fir,
might have spared. III the exit:
from the galleries women ant
children were piled in bleeding
masses the flesh trampled from
their faces and clothing rippct
from their bodies by merciles'
heels. So terrible was the slaugh'
ter that the undertaking establish.

for carrying away the dead and a
truck was SO heavily loaded wirh
the dead that the horses could not
move it. The holocaust is without
parallel in the history of the the
atre in the United States, and
with the exception of the awful
Paris catastrophe last year has not
been equalled in the world III a
century.
AT o'clock this afternoon the
estimate of deaths in yesterdays
fire in the Iriquois theatre is 564.
OF the I57 persons known to have
been injured probably one-third
it is believed, cannot live. The
missing are estimated at .3I4 but
it is expected that many Of these
will be accounted for, probably a
large majority Of them No addi-
tional bodies were found today in
the ruins of the theatre.
