HERALD SQUARE
THEATRE BURNS
Fire Breaks Out a Few Minutes
Before Final Curtain Of
Performance.
AUDIENCE EXITS QUIETLY
The Actors and Orchestra keep Up
Vigorously 10 Allay Any Ap-
prehension, Though in Dan
ger Themselves.

New York, Dec. 23.-Not more
than two minutes before the time
for the fall of the final curtain in
the Herald Square Theater last
night the house caught fire and In
less than half an hour was destroy
ed BY an extraordinary and FORUM
ate combination of circumstances
there was nothing in the nature of
panic, and so far as could be as
certained no lives were reported as
lost At the same time the excite
ment was such that it threatened to
reach perilous proportions until the
ready action of the management OF
the house and the policemen in the
vicinity got into play before the ar
rival of the engines.
Many persons had already left
their seats and others were starting
for the doors when there was a
smell OF smoke and a squirt of flame
showed in the under side of the bal
cony, just above those who occupied
the rear seats of the auditorium
There was an uneasy movement IN
the audience, but the fact that the
play had SO nearly reached its end
was point in favor. Those nearer
to the stage were not aware of the
danger, as matter of fact, because
the flames had started in the very
front, and they we're out OF the
house before they knew in what a
situation they might have been plac-
ed minute or two later.
| Meantime, those behind the cur
I tain were in the most dangerous sit
! uation, but attaches of the house
! and policemen hurried back to tell
them there was no danger. There
! was no loss Of time to get out after
| the fall of the curtain, however, and
/ many Of the women of the company
were prostrated by fright and left
! costumes and other valuables to the
mercy of the flames.
| The fire started from a crossed
wire on the illuminated electric sign
Immediately over the main entrance
of the theater Before an intimation
| of the real situation had reached
those within the theater clouds OF
smoke were rolling out into Broad
way and presently sheet OF flame
burst from the roof of the little
/ playhouse.
It did not take long for the alarm
t to reach those inside, but as soon as
| it did the orchestra played Its loud
est, and the chorus sang it's lustiest
in an effort to keep the audience free
from fear 1t was not, in fact, until
the first sign of fire appeared with
in the auditorium that there was
/ anything in the nature OF excite
ment.

COTTON CARGO INTO THE SEA
Steamer Irada With $4,000 Bales
from Galveston Goes to Bottom

Galveston, Texas, Dec ga ca
bic to Agent Holt yesterday announ-
.eed the loss of the Gulf Transport
company's steamer Irada, off the
coast of Ireland, with all on board
The vessel was bound from Gal
weston to Liverpool with million
dollar cargo. including 900 bales
Of COTTON, and was in command of
Captain A. w. Roberts, with crew
OF 65 men.
She was passenger steamer, but
carried no passengers on this voy-
age, which was her fortieth between
Galveston and Liverpool.
Details of the catastrophe were
not given, but it Is believed the big
vessel got out of her course in q
fog or snowstorm and went against
the rocks and sank.
She sailed from Galveston on Sat
urday, December 5, with one of the
largest cargoes of the season. The
1rada was built in 1900 and was q

MANY STATUTES ARE PRE-
Coming Session Of Legislature t
an Important One.

Austin, Texas, Dec 23.-As the
time approaches for the converting
of the Thirty-first Legislature, the
subjects, propositions and matters
to come up for consideration, accord
ing to present indications, continue
to multiply, which demonstrates that
the session will be lengthy, should
consideration be given to all the
questions which bob up during the
beginning of the session. With but
few rare EXCEPTIONS, every member
of the next legislature who has been
at Austin during the past two months
has indicated that he has at least
two or three bills up his sleeve
which VIII be introduced during the
early part of the session. There Will
also be, the usual crop of constitu
tional amendments which, by the
way, are becoming more unpopular
with the populace as time passes.
This, however, does not deter those
who have some amendment they
want tackled on to the organic law
of the state. In this connection, 1t
may be said that it is not likely that
any attempt will be made for many
years to come to amend the consti-
tuition so as to provide for an in
crease in the salary of the governor
of the state. The defeat of this
amendment at the hands of the peo-
pie showed plainly that they are
firmly fixed in their idea that the Of
fee OF chief executive of this state
is purely an honor and is not intend.
ed for remuneration and those who
seek it must do so with the sole
view of the honor there is in it, and
the $4,000 pin money received an
nually merely as incidental.
With the views entertained by
Manager Strong of the submission
proposition, there are likely to be
some warm times in the coming ses-
sion, and the consideration of this
question is liable to provoke and In,
spire the orators and near-oratOrs
of both branches, and thereby con-
siderably lengthen the life of the
! session. According to Manager
| Strong every democrat who votes
| against submission is & bolter, ane
| this is going to cause repeated ex
plosions of hot air.
! 1t is said that there will be more
| tax measures introduced at the
! coming session, but what is now pro
posed to be taxed has not been dis
closed. One thing appears to be rea
| sonably certain, there will not b.
many changes in the present ia,
| laws, although some effort is to b.
| made to amend the full rendition
( law, but with what degree of sue
cess only time can tell There vii
also be the usual batch of bills t
cure defects, large and small, il
many of the acts of the famous thir
tieth.

eating that Butterworth had been
dead only a short time. Both shoul-
ders of the man were broken and
the whole upper part of the body
was considerably bruised, leaving no
doubt that he had been paved to
death by his young team. He had
axle grease on his fingers and there
was some of the same grease on a
sore on the shoulder of one Of the
mules. thus seeming to confirm the
theory that when the old man went
to grease the tender spot the young
animal reared up and caught him
beneath its feet and stamped his life
out before stopping.
The traveller had camped on the
creek over night but, as none OF the
citizens of that community had seen
him the night before, 1t Is probable
that he did not reach that point un-
til after dark The dead man had on
his persou a check for 81 500, New
York exchange for 5000 and certifi-
Gates OF deposit on banks in Houston
sufficient to make his total cash as
sets about $4,000.
other papers found indicated that
he had been hauling cotton at lious-
ton and stopped over night in a wa
gon yard there and that he left the
Bayou city Dec. 10.
Along with him in his satchel ne
carried descriptions of three dinerent
tracts of land in western county
and there is every indication that
the old man was going west to settle
ON a new place and then send foI
hts wife or family later. He was we'll
equipped for such purpose.
Young team, new wagon and harness,
farming and fencing tools and plen-
ty of money left little to be desired.

]. l.. Delk, travelling evangelist OF
the same faith, had an alteration
on East Broad street Saturday after
noon which ended in the police
court, where Rev. Delk pleaded gull

peace and was fined IS. The two
preachers have been for two weeks
until last Wednesday night, work
ing together in revival meeting
held by Rev. Delk on West Broad
street, but recently dispute arose
and they became embittered toward
one another. Saturday afternoon the
two preachers met, and, according
to several eye-witnesses, they made
strenuous efforts to horsewhip each
other and were only prevented from
doing SO by the interference OF the
police. In the pull away Phillips got
heavy punch in the mouth from
Delk's right, while the latter escaped
without scF1tch.
