THEATER FIRE
Many Scores Of People were
Trampled or Burned to
Death.
A TANK EXPLODED.
A Majority of The Victims
Are Women and
Children.

Boyertown. Pa, Jan. 15.-Be-
tween $50 and IT'S persons
were burned to death last night in a
fire which destroyed the Rhoads
Opera House in Boyertown, Pa. The
fire was caused by the explosion of a
tank during a church benefit. Most
of the victims were women and chill
dren.
The opera house was crowded with
the members of st. Johns Lutheran
Sunday school, who were attending
a benefit given for that church.
While the show was in progress a
tank exploded. The actors endeavor-
ed to quiet the audience, but in their
anxiety to make themselves heard
and to avoid the awful stampede of
the women and children the coal-oil
lamps which were used at the foot
lights were overturned, setting the
place on fire. The flames fed by the
oil shot almost to the ceiling and
there was a wild rush of the zoo
persons to escape from the burning
building. Scores of women and chill
dren were trampled upon and sever
al who escaped being burned to death
died after being dragged from the
opera house.

When Concrete Work is
Done Then Travel Can
Begin.
SIX DAYS MORE WORK.
Steel Work UP And Frame
Support Removed
Yesterday.

The bridge proper on North Main
street was completed yesterday. AS
reported by the man who has been
in charge Of putting the steel work
in position. it took just six days
and four hours to make the steel
span from the day the men began
work to the finish.
Tuesday afternoon every bolt in
the span had been put in and made
fast and the men were laying the
galvanized iron that is to temporari-
ly support the concrete floors of the
two footways. The foreman of the
work said that he could not say any,
thing as to when the concrete would
be put in. Under favorable wealth
err conditions it will take but few
days to lay the concrete but it will
take about three weeks for the work
to harden sufficiently for the passage
of wagons.
The people who live beyond the
ri have the consolation of know
ing that it will no longer be neces-
sary to get into and out of the city
by going down muddy banks on both
sides to cross over on the temper
airy foot bridge that has been in use
since last fall. If necessary, planks
can be laid across the steel ioists
so that pedestrians can get into the
city and out again without any
trouble. This will doubtless be done
at once should the workmen be com
PEELED to wait for good weather for
putting down the floors.
The work of making the fill on
the north side of the river will be
pushed rapidly as possible by City
Engineer McClaid and will be COM
pleted by the time the bridge drive
way is ready for use.
The new North Main street bridge
is one of the most needed enterprises
undertaken by the city. It's taking
the place of the narrow stone struct-
ure that was built few years before
the war ought to increase the value
of real estate on the north side of
the river, but will eventually, some
believe, open up a demand for bu i'd
ing sites, not only inside the city
limits on North Main, but beyond. |
Again the opening of the driven ay
connecting Main street and Elm
S treet will some day, throw
on the market several acres of land |
for building purposes that could new
er have been available on account of |
its being entirely cut off from all de-
mands for building lots by narrow
bridge. Should Hopkinsville con-
tinue to grow as it has for the past
ten years North Side" building lots
will be bought.
The people beyond the river have
but one thing more to ask of the
city. They want an electric light
over the bridge aud then their hap
piness will be complete.

The soldiers of Company H. Of
Louisville, who had been on duty
here for the past month, received
telegram at 5 o'clock Monday even
ing. ordering them to return home
The order stated that they should

Following the orders concerning
Company H orders were received
that Company D, Of this city, should
go into active service upon the de-
parture of the Louisville soldiers, and
the local company went on duty
Tuesday. Orders were also received
that the gatling gun should be turn

arrived Dec. II and were on duty
lust four weeks. Capt. Carroll, DR..

Starks. Offutt and Matthews were
all splendid gentlemen and gallant
,oldiers. The soldiers were excellent
and well behaved troops and they
made many friends during their
stay in the city. They did no guard
duty Monday night, but put in the
time packing up and calling upon
their friends. They were quartered
in the city and county buildings dur
ing their stay in the city.

The demand of Italy for $4,000
or SIS, 900 for Reggie tobacco destroy

it is cheaper to protect property
than & roy for it. The soldiers
have been on duty here for 40 days
at an expense of about $1,000, while
the property destroyed here and at
Russellville since Dec. 6, is estimated
at $15O,0O0.
