The white city.

Tomorrow the combination tickets go
into effect at the White City and will
be sold until Sunday night, when the
park closes for the season. A twenty
five cent combination ticket admits to
the entrance, laughing gallery scenic
railway and chutes. In addition to this
the free attractions have been material
ly strengthened. The fire dive which
was accomplished last night proved to
be the most thrilling act this year, al
though the performer is still suffering
from the burns he received week ago,
when he was caught in mid-air doing
his terrible slide for life, hanging by
his teeth while his legs and arms were
scared by the flames.
The sensational zoellers, doing an I'M
commonly difficult aerial act especially
for a woman, will also perform. The
terrible slide for life is still being per-
formed twice daily.

"A GAS EXPLOSION.

Causes Fire in Basement Of West Ha-
ven House.
Al tire broke out in the basement Of
John Welch's house on Court street,
West Haven, at $3.50 Saturday night,
caused by an explosion Of gas. Mr..
WEIGH discovered that gas was leak
ing in the cellar and went down with
a lighted candle to investigate. Sud-
denly there was an explosion and Mr..
WEIGH was blown across the cellar He
was pretty well shaken up from the
effects OF the shock, but fortunately es-
capped any serious injury. He was able
to get on his feet and escape from
the cellar just as the flames broke out.
An alarm was sent In and the West
Haven apparatus responded, extin-
gushing the flames, which had reached
the first floor The loss is estimated at
from $3.50 to 5000 Quite a crowd col
lected, as the noise Of the explosion
was heard quite distance. Before the
fire had gotten under much Roadway
the damaged pipe was plugged and
the escape of gas stopped.

This is the last week Of the season
at this theater. There will be two per-
formances Labor day afternoon, one at
1870 and one at $3.50, also In the even
ing at Sis for the remainder OF the
week Matinees every afternoon at S:15.
A most remarkable programme will be
presented, including by request the sem
sational Mile. Adele, the famous COM
edy slack wire artistic, which was the
biggest hit of any act ever presented
here. A few weeks ago she was the
talk of the town. She has been re-en-
gagged at big increase of salary. Mai
ada, the sensational European dancer,
is one of the most expensive OF the
vaudeville stage. She carries seven
beautiful painted drops, all her own
electric lamps, besides an elaborate ar
ray OF dresses. Her "Nymph OF the
Sea" and Queen Of the Air" dances
are really wonderful. Those mysterious
people, the Vanos, have some way Of
disengaging themselves from the nu-
merous handouts and trunks that they
are locked in that is surprising. Mae
Taylor, singing coincidence. will also
appear. Brannon and Mack are a re-
fined duet, offering refined singing
and drawing sketch, and Fred Gilman
| in his Hebrew representations, is one
of the best in his line. This is positively
the last week Of the season.
