The most horrible disaster in a the
alter in America, previous to the burning
of the Iroquois, was the burning of the
Brooklyn theater, Brooklyn, on December
5, 1876.
The theater, which was managed by
Mrs. f. B. Conway, was located at Wash
,neton and Adams streets. 1t was occu-
pied by Kate Claxton and her company
PLAYING "The Two Orphans.
Soon after the performance began on
that fatal night, fire was discovered over
the stage. In moment the entire stage
was ablaze. Miss ClaXton and the mem
hers of her company rushed before the
curtain which was Immediately lowered,
and they attempted to calm the auditors,
who were panic-stricken, but 1t was TOO
late and in moment those on the stage
were forced to flee for safety
The house was packed to the doors and
the nanic-stricken spectators rushed tor
the exits. They were fighting, bowling
mob and women and children were
tIampled under foot and killed by the
score The greatest loss OF life was IN the
gallery. The exit stairs were narrow ana
crooked. The crowd rushing down these
stairs trampled scores of the weakest un-
der foot and after the fire was eXtin-
orished they were found in great heaps at
the foot of the stairs and in the corners OF
the stairways. III
When the fire was over 295 dead bodies

BURNING BROOKLYN THEATER
WAS A Scene OF HORROR

200 of them were so badly mangled and
burned that Identification was impossible.
On December a great public funeral was
held and the city of Brooklyn erected a
monument over the enormous grave where
the unidentified were buried.
Emil Ankermiller, business manager for
n. G. Goodwin, was an usher in Brooklyn
theaters at the time of the fire, and was
an eyewitness of the disaster.
1T was the worst disaster the country
had ever known" he said. at will live
in my memory forever. The spectators in
the theater ceased to be human beings
and became wild animals. Women and
children were trampled under foot and
mangled beyond recognition.
'Only two of the people on the stage
were killed Miss Claxton and the mem
bers of her company did everything in
their power to calm the excited people.
There was a passage from the stage un-
der the theater to the front of the house,
and by this passage all but two of the
actors escaped. These two went to their
rooms to save some of their valuables and
were never seen again alive. Leading in
to this passage under the house was
heavy oak door that was always kept
open, but on this occasion it was closed
and locked. John B. Studley, one of the
actors in the company, was the first one
to reach this door. With strength that
was superhuman he burst down the heavy
door and thus saved the entire company.
"The day of the great public funeral
was one that is still remembered in Brook
lyn. The city was draped in mourning
and every citizen Joined in the great
funeral"

BRAINS TO
THE FRONT

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 6.-Much has
been said and written about the inter-
collegiate athletic games that are to be a
feature OF the approaching worlds fair, but
it has remained Tor William l.. Ransom,
president of the Cornell university debate
council, to suggest that contests of col
lege brains as well as college Drawn might
be made an interesting feature of the ex-
position. Mr.. Ransom's idea, which has
been favorably received by the exposition
directors, is for a grand intercollegiate
debating contest in which the leading col
leges and universities of the entire country
might be represented. At the present time
there are debating leagues composed of
groups of colleges such as Yale, Harvard
and Princeton in the East, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Minnesota in the central states
and University of California and Leland
Stanford on the Pacific coast. Mr.. Ran
som points out that the type of speaking,
thinking and debating done in these va
rious sections differs a great deal, and he
suggests that it would be an interesting
presentation for the leaders of the various
leagues to meet III st. Louis in IA grand
contest to determine the national cham
pionship. The scheme has been communi-
Gated to the heads of the various colleges
and awaits their Endorsement.

four young desperados, Marx, Neider

ed for trial. Motions for postponement
of the case and for separate trials have
both been over-ruled and it is expected
that the trial will be concluded within a
week The confession Of Marx has great
ly helped the prosecution in preparing its
case, and the states attorney appears con
fdent of securing the conviction of the
four youths and their sentence to the
galows or to life Imprisonment.
