proposed. This viaduct will be 25
feet shorter than the one which is
to be built on Division street, and
the plans for which the council for

Plans for both viaducts were
asked for by the railways which
are to benefit chiefly, and the en-.
tire cost of both will be borne by
the companies. At both points
there is constant danger to pedes.

BIG THEATER
TAKES FIRE

NEW YORK, Dec. pa theater
fire which was unknown to the au-
dience until it had been extinguish-
ed and which did about $4,000
worth of damage and struck con-
sternation among the chorus girls,
was caused at the Herald Square
theater by the burning of an cleo
trio sign in front Of the theater.
The fire ragged furiously for a
time up the front of the building,
but was almost entirely put out
before the show was over and the
people left the building. There
were more signs of panic out in the
street than within. An immense
throng had soon gathered to see
the fire.
AS word of the fire passed back
to the stage people in the rear
scores of them fed from the build
ing. scantily attired, to the snow
storm outside. ~
During all the excitement noone
was hurt.
