taken. The coroner said that his one
thought was to get out all the bodies
before Il sleet or snow storm should
get in and hinder the work.
The opera house was located on
the second floor of three-story brick
building. The first floor was occu-
pied by national bank and several
stores and the third floor was used
for lodge rooms. The entertainment
hall was n large room about so feet
wide and IS feet long. II had no
gallery. There was stairway at
the front of the building anu a mar
row exit in the rear of the stage.
Fire escapes were built on both sides
and on the front of the building.
Local talent Play
So far as can be learned there were
Gbout 425 persons packed in the
room, most of whom were adults.
The number of children present was
comparatively small. There were
about 81 persons, all local talent, on
the stage, who were giving per-
Torrance of the Scottish Reforma-
ton. The entertainment was nearly
over, the audience waiting for the
curtain to go up on the last part,
when something went wrong with
the calcium light apparatus, that was
perched on a small platform near
the front entrance of the building ut
the back of the audience. The light
was in charge of II. w. Fischer of
Carlisle, Pa, and he says n rubber
tube slipped from one OF the tanks.
At once there was a loud Kissing
sound, which caused many in the
audience to turn their heads in curl
osity to see what 1t WAS.
There was absolutely no panic up
to this time and nothing probably
would have happened II one or more
Of the performers behind the curtain
had not been curious to learn what
was causing the noise. Who he or
ley were probably will never be
known. Hearing the kissing sound
and the slight commotion In the au-
dience, one of the performers raised
the curtain from the floor. In front
of the curtain and serving as foot
lights, was tin tank, perhaps eight
feet long, three inches wide and
three inches high. 1t contained Goa
Gil and about 10 lights. In raising
the curtain the performer accident
ally turned this tank over and 1t fel

FIRE." and what followed would be
impossible, accurately, to tell. Every
eyewitness says that the audience
rose In masses and with one impulse
to reach the door. All attempted,
hut few got out. The seats In the
center of the hail were of the usual
folding variety, screwed to the floor,
while those along the sides of the
BILE to get out many persons fell over
the chairs and were never able to
rise to their feet again. Those who
did reach the front entrance found 1t
TANNED with people who were fight
Ing and shrieking to get out. One Of
the double doors had been bolted
shut, the better to enable the ticket
taker to take up tickets. Not more
than two persons could pass the door
at one time and after the first half
Gozen got through the narrow pas
sage 1t became clogged with the
struggling mass of humanity.
Men, women, boys, girls and chairs
were mixed up in so solid mass that
from the outside they could not be
Gisentangled
In the meantime, someone discov-
cred that there We're fire escapes on
each side of the building and dozens
made their exit by those avenues or
escape and gave the alarm. The fire
bell was rung and the whole town
was reused and went to the rescue.
All this time the flames from the oil
tank were creeping toward the ter
rible mass of people, who were fran
! tically shrieking and fighting TO gee
cut. The noise was terrific and few
| heard the cries of those who found
! the fire escapes. Some of the bravest
who had gained the fire escapes, pull
cd dozens from the struggling mass
| and directed them to the sides Of the
building. While the frenzied people
were fighting to get down the front
steps the calcium light tank exploded
and the fire was spread over the en-
tire mass of people. This added hor-
ror was more than the feeble rescu-
ers could stand, and in order to save
their own lives they were forced to
flee down the fire escapes.
On the front steps outside the door
men pulled frantically to open way
for the wedged-in people, but not
more than half dozen were rescued
in this manner.
The explosion of the calcium lam
and the flames from the front OF the
stage which had by this time reached
the struggling people, made further
rescue impossible. The entire int
hlor of the building was one seethint
furnace. Firemen threw a feeble
stream of water into the burning
building, but it had no effect on thu
flames. The cries of the unfortu
nate victims. many with their cloth

There may be a strlngency in the

always cash, and the demand is al

I'VE advise every poultryman,"
says Poultry Husbandry, regardless
OF the particular branch of the bust
hess he follows, to visit poultry
shows. The time and money will be
invested to good advantage. The
room, where all may meet upon
common level and exchange ideas
and experiences. There is the So
clal side, too, which is worthy OF
consideration. Meeting ones friends
and competitors at intervals does
the poultryman n great deal of good"
The fancier, either novice or full
ly developed, gets the most benefit
from the shows, as they are con-
Quoted primarily in his interest. But
the market poultryman finds much
to interest and benefit him as well.
In the future we may expect to see
more prominence given the market
industry at progressive poultry ex-
hibitions. Undoubtedly competitive
exhibitions of dressed birds of vari-
Gus varieties will attract much at
tention and brings to the showroom
many who now feel that their inter-
ests are sadly neglected there.
Showroom Great Aid
The fancier who wishes TO breed
good birds and to be known as a pro-
Queer of high grade stock should neg
lect no opportunity to place speci-
mems of his best birds where they
may be inspected by the interested
public. The showroom aids in both.
, The comparison of ones pet spec!-
mems with the best birds produced
by leading breeders of the same va
riety, will do more to give one n
clear conception of the weak points
of ones stock, to indicate what must
be done to overcome such weakness,
to indellbly impress upon the mind
the ideal show type both as regards
shape and color. than volumes of
written descriptions.
We do not infrequently meet
breeders who have for years been
producing and selling very fair
stock, yet who actually do not know
the really fine points required in
birds of sufficient merit to enable
them to win in close competition. In
a general way they know the points

The morning was bitter cold and by
the time the benumbed and exhaust

tangling the mass of burned beams
and twisted iron, the entire ruins
were coated with ice ana there was
danger of the walls falling. The
work went slowly at first and II was

after midnight, had a detail OF men

record of the description or every
corpse removed. The bodies were SO
badly burned, however, that there
was little to describe them, but 1t is
safe to say that not half the victims
will ever be identified.
The second victim was taken from
the ruins about half hour after the
first and then the work OF recovery
moved more rapidly. BY noon the
rescuers became thoroughly exhaust
