OPERA HOUSE BURNED,
seventy-Five Persons Burned to Death
or Crushed In Mad Panic.

Boyertown, Pa, Jan. 14.-Between
30 and 10 persons were burned to
death last night in fire which com.
pletely destroyed Rhodes Opera
House in this place. 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 act
mrs endeavored to quiet the audience
but in their anxiety to make them
selves heard and avoid the awful STAN
pede of the women and children the
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 wild rusf Of the seven
hundred persons to escape from the
burning building. Scores Of women
and children were trampled on and
several who escaped being burned to
death died after being dragged from
the opera house.
The fire was not got under control
until daylight. but il was not COM
muncated to other property, as the
Opera House is on plot of ground by
itself.
Hundreds of persons surrounded the
burning structure apparently uncon-
scious OF the pending danger from the
falling walls. Many parents who had
children in the opera house paced to
and fro almost maddened by the aw.
ful sight
In many cases, 1t is said, entire fam
lilies have been wiped out. The scene
which followed the explosion was in
describable. Scores of persons who
were in the balcony at the time of
the explosion jumped from the win
dows and sustained fractured limbs
and skulls.
To add to the terrible disaster the
fire apparatus became disabled and
the structure was left entirely at the
mercy of the seething flames. 1t
is almost certain not vestige of the
overcome by the smoke ever will be
found. Assistance was asked from
Pottstown, but before the fire appar.
atus from that city reached this place
the entire structure was roaring
furnace.
Had the women and children needed
the warning OF the cooler heads in
the audience the horrible loss of life
might have been avoided, but there
was the usual panic and stampede
which invariably follows at such a ca.
tastrophe, The flames spread rapidly
and communicated to the other parts
of the theater.
Men, women and children rushed
for the many exits and the weaker
sex and the children were trampled
and MANNED in the mad rush to gain
the street.
Assistance was at once asked 2
both Reading and Pottstown and spe.
cial trains carrying nurses and doc.
tors were rushed to the scene of the
disaster. Every home within radius
of half a dozen blocks of the Opera
House was made temporary hospital
where the wounded were rushed by
carriages and other means of con
veyance
