CAUSED BY CHEMICALS.
Fire in Cleaning Establishment on
18th Street.

A blaze occurred in the cleaning estab-
lishment of D. ]. Tavenner. SIS 18th street.
yesterday afternoon shortly before 5 o'clock
The fire department received summons
from box H. and the appearance of the
apparatus on the streets attracted large
crowd. Excitement was caused by a report
that fatality had occurred but 1t de-
veloped that Peter Polet, colored, thirty
six years of age. had been painfully burned
and not killed The fire resulted from the
use of chemicals for cleaning purposes, and
about 500 damage resulted. Pollet was
taken to the Emergency Hospital and given
treatment.
During the day a construction company
had been at work putting down new pave
ment on 18th street in front of the Tav
enner establishment. When the fire
CURED many persons walked onto the new
pavement. Employees of the paving COM
pany tried to keep the crowd back, but
We're unsuccessful.
Charles l.. Miller, one of the employees,
it is stated by the police was especially
worked up by reason of the trespassing,
and swung a heavy broom around in the
air. The broom had been clogged with
asphalt, and was very hard. AS he gave
it swing he struck Samuel Tompkins
in the face, making his nose bleed and
stunning him.
Lynch him. Hit him." and other cries
were uttereds~ and the crowd surged to-
ward Miller. Policeman Messer, however,
reached him first and he took him into
custody.
"Hurrah for the policeman some one
shouted, and cheers followed. Policeman
Messer led the prisoner through the throng
to the station house. where a charge of as
Sault was placed against him. Miller de-
posted $50 collateral for his appearance in
the Police Court today but he failed to
answer to his name, and the money was
forfeited.

BelaSco.

Illumined by no ray Of hope, dark, SOM
Der and as cherries as the barren steppes
Of Russia, The Kreutzer Sonata held the
attention of large audience at the Belasco
last night on strain as tense as wire
through four acts of merclless 1atansm
and grim tragedy. The present adaptation
of The Kreutzer Sonata from the 1lddlsh
version of Jacob Gordin is from the pen of
Langdon Mitchell. 1t is interpreted by
Bertha Kalich and an unusually strong
company in way to dlsarm much of the
criticism which might be brought to bear
upon its dramatic construction and us
many lapses from FEASIBILITY in minor
matters of bodybuilding and character
consistency. 1t is a tragedy of the Suder-
man and Ibsen type and deals with the
world old social problems with slavic
harshness. Too much cannot be said in
praise of Miss kalich's Interpretation of the
character of Miriam, the unhappy wife,
who TO give her child a name contracts,
at her fathers command a marriage of
convenience with a characterless musician,
who agrees to the compact for monetary
consideration. The crux of the story is the
unholy love which the husband conceives
for his wife's sister and the resultant death
of the graceless pair at the hands of the
outraged Miriam when she learns of the
criminal extent of their wrongdoing.
Miss Kalich is possessed of the psychic
temperament and impresses her audience
by the mere power of suggestion at times
when articulate speech would be too mate
rial for the purpose. The supporting COM
pany is in every way worthy of the star,
and it is only by their combined efforts and
careful attention to details that many
square corners are made round and ques
tonable things made acceptable. Theodore
Roberts as Raphael Friedlander. the un
swerving father, gave a dignifed and fin
ished performance. Gladys Hulette's David
the seven-year-old son of Miriam, was
wonderfully natural, altogether childish
and one of the chief features of the pro-
ductiOn.

lery, at Fort Washington, is a patient in the

is stated, is under arrest at Fort Washing
ton, charged with having inflicted the
wound The hurt on the head of Slusher

Sailing Sloop Goes Ashore.

During the heavy northwest gale shortly
before shutdown Sunday a sailing sloop in
which were a party of sailors was blown
ashore on the District side of the river a
short distance from the naval powder maya
zine. The little craft went well up on the
shore and resisted all efforts of those
aboard to float her. They returned to
this city in a row boat and yesterday when
they went to look after their craft they
found her high and dry ashore fifteen or
more feet from the water. The boat does
not seem to have been at all damaged by
running out upon the hard sand and gravel,
but it will take a good high tide to float 1t.
With the dying out of the Northwestern 1t
is probable that the owners of the boat may
be able to get her afloat today.
