The services were in progress in the

and the building was filled with the

fire broke out three doors from the
church and the first intimatlon Of the
fact was conveyed TO the people in the
church by a cry Of FIRE" in the street.
Chicago gatherings are somewhat ner-
vous at this time on the subject Of fire
and It needed but the one shout to
bring all the people to their feet and
many Of them started for the door.
Two policemen who were stationed in
the church called out 10 the people
that there was no danger and urged
them to resume their seats. Suddenly
a cloud Of smoke came in through the
open door and the sight and smell
maddened the people in an instant.
The two officers barely had time to
swing the doors open. when the rush
came This was all that saved a Sc

dOOrways.
When the street was reached and it
was seen that there was no cause for
alarm the greater part Of the people

Beginning this morning. Coroner
Traeger and the jury imDanelled to
sit at the inquest resumed its task OF
collecting evidence in the theatre
building. An exhaustive examination
of the building was made, and particu-
lar attention was paid to any viola
lions OF the building ordinances that
may be found. In accordance with the
request of the members of the jury, all
siehtseers, and even watchmen, were
excluded from the building while the
examination was in progress. The
Jury said to the coroner that they did
not wish any person to heal. OF the
questions that they may put to any
body. as they fear publicity will inter-

Because OF the unlimited scope that
the coroner intends to give to the IN

work OF taking testimony will con
sumo several weeks. Contractors ana
all others who can give expert testi-
mony will be summoned. and the
coroner issued a notice TO all persons
who were in the theatre, and VINO
made their escape, that he would be
glad TO have them appear and give

Chicago. Jan. 4. - Fire Inspector
Monroe Fulkerson announced that he

suspended 20 feet above II, and be-

carried death to so many hundreds.
The first step toward a definite con-

made when William McMullen. oDer-
ator OF the spot" light, threw the
blame upon another electric light near
by. The task was completed when Mr.
Fulkerson followed up a clew furnished
by John A. Mazzoni, a stage hand, and
discovered the deadly reflector still
open in the ruins of the theatre
On each side of the prOscenium arch
was a metallic reflector concaye In

The fact that the man was shot
under the lett arm leads many TO
believe that his wife did the shooting.
Both died in a few minutes.
Donity had load OF hay ready To

with his wife as he stood with his team
in front OF the house, when the quarrel
began. Mrs. Donitys father says ne

tragedy; that while the couple did not
