PLAYERS PRESENCE

THEATRE STAMPEDE
Fire Interrupts "Her Mad Mar
rage Performance at
Blaney's.
BLAZE NEXT DOOR, SAYS
MANAGER TO AUDIENCE
Cast FearIessIy Continues
While Smoke Fills Gallery
and House Is Emptied.

Members of the cast OF Her Mad
Marriage company and Manager Allies
and his staff are awakening today to
the rarrowness of the margin by which
a panic in Blaney's Theatre was es-
capped last night. when a defective cleo
trio wire filled the gallery with smoke.
n started the audience hurriedly
toward the exits. Even considering the
admirable GOODNESS of everyone who
might be expected to assist the orderly
enptying of the theatre, it is considered
remarkable that no serious injuries re-
suited.
1T was through the GOODNESS and quiet
heroism of the men and women of the
cast that the day was saved. While the
situation was trembling in the balance,
with every moment heavy with the pos
sibility of disastrous panic, they played
ON as though the announcement of fire
was a thing of nightly occurrence. Not
for an instant did even the youngest
girl in the cast betray a sign of fear.
Manager Allies announced from the
from of the stage that there was Il
small fire next DOR and requested the
audience to withdraw from the theatre
for a few moments. He declared there
was no danger. but that he simply
wished to be on the safe side.
AS the announcement was being
made the gallery was rapidly filling
with smoke. and one cry Of fire would
have started the panic. AS the exodus
began the only haste was in the gal
lery, where the actual presence of
danger existed. but even there it was
not realized that the smoke came from
a source within the theatre itself until
after the manager had made his an
nouncement.
AS the crowding began at the front
entrance two or three women, over
come by fright, were partially carried
from the building, and that was the
extent of the casualties. The audience
had behaved as admirably as the play
ers, and what might have developed
into a most disastrous panic was
averted.
Meanwhile, Immediately after the
first puff OF smoke had appeared in the
gallery, Fireman William Kinney, at
tached to the theatre, had discovered
the source--a defective electric wire on

flee to the gallery, and with a hand ex-
tinguisher had removed all danger of
fire. Policemen Schott and Hickman,
who were stationed at the theatre, did
much to ed in the orderly exit of the
audience. The arrival of the fire APP
paratus throw the crowd into temporary
confusion, out it was outside the
theatre by this time.
A man who made a megaphone OF
his hands came to the front and an
nounced that every one holding tickets
might return and see the end of the
play. Everyone mentioned did, and
some others. The orchestra had been
playing all the time. but the action of
the play ceased when the theatre
emptied, so that the audience missed
few thrills.
Apparently everything went on as
though nothing had happened when the
play resumed. but behind the scenes
when the curtain fell for the last time
and in the box office there were long
signs of relief.

A Skowhegan Stock Farm.

Hon. E. n. Merrill of Skowhegan,
who has during the past few years
purchased and fitted up a large farm
ing estate of several hundred acres
in the eastern part OF the town is
wintering one of the largest, If not
the largest, herd of cattle to be found
on one farm in the county, about 10
head. MIR. Merrill has starred in to
raise stock in connection with pro-
ducing cream for the butter factory.
He is now breeding Shorthorns and
Holsteins and the herd is mace up of
pure breds and high grades of there
two bre eds. For registered Short
horns he has good bull three years
old, coming, that stands at the head
o. the herd, three mature cows, two
heifers and three heifer calves. Be-
sides these there are two young bulls
of his own breeding that he has been
thinking might be wanted for breed
ing purposes. Mr.. MerIill's Short
horns are nearly all red in color.
The bull was bred by Mr.. Ernest Hill
ton of Starks and the older females,
descendents of the Howard & Ellis
stock, were purchased by him about
two years ago.
He has at present about twenty
five mature cows in all, largely Short
horn grades, with few Holsteins.
For pure bred Holsteins he has bull
and two heifers, excellent animals,
that came from the Togus herd.
Besides the young animals for
breeding purposes there is string of
a dozen or more steers, good shapely
made Shorthorn grades, some of
them with a sprinkling of Hereford
blood. The most of these steers, the
Oldest of which are coming three, will
be kept another summer and one or
two pairs will be used to help out the
farm work.
Mr.. Merrill's stock is looking we'll
this winter, the younger animals all
being kept in thrifty growing con-
dition; and he is evidently fortunate
in having a good care taker and farm
superintendent in the person of Mr..
Arthur Pitcher, who has been with
him for the past four years.-Turf,
