sion appointed by the president on

tries are located within forest reserves

TWO THEATERS BURNED.
Playhouses at Elmira, N. y, De.
stroyed by Fire Causing Damage
Amounting to 100000.

Elmira, N. Y, March 8.-The fire,
which was discovered in a cigar factory
under the Lyceum theater shortly after
II o'clock Sunday night, did damage to
the amount of 100000 before the
flames were extinguished. At 12:3 80 the
Lyceum theater had been entirely gut
ted and the blaze had spread to the ad-
joining building. Flying sparks spread
the flames to the Realty building, in
which is located the Auditorium theater,
and this, too, proved a total loss.
The fire is said to have been started by
an explosion Of natural gas in the
Lyceum theater building, but accord
ing to another report, burning rag
was found on the Auditorium stage
and this has given rise to the suspicion
that both theaters were set on fire by an
incendiary. In response to request
from the local fire department aid was
sent from the Elmira state reformatory,
Elmira Heights and Households, and at
4:30 Monday morning the fire was I'M
der control.
