CAUSED BY A STAGE GAS JEf

Associated Press. ;
Omaha, Oct. 1. While the stage
hands of the Farnham Theater were
setting the scenery for the production
of "The Waifs of New York,' Just bc-
1 fore 5 o'clock this afternoon, a piece of
canvass caught fire from a gaSj jet and
In a very short time the whole Inside
of the theater was a roaring mass of
flames. The whole fire department was
summoned and the men had a terrible
struggle, the flames not being brought
under control uiltll after 8 o'clock. The
firemen were greatly hampered at first
by the net-work of wires outside the
building, and It was not until a force of
electric light linemen cut there, that
effective work was accomplished. They
were also troubled during the height of
the fire by alarms from Ave othr sec
tions of the city, necessitating the with
drawal of portions, of the forcej The
theater was a five-story structure and
while the fire was burning most fiercely
the back wall fell out, badly damaging
a building In the rear, fatally Injuring
J. M. Gainor, and painfully wounding
a numjoer of other men in the crowd.
Many were knocked down and trampled
on but no one was seriously Injured. In
sidethe theater two firemen were bad
ly Injured by the falling In of the dome
over the stuge. Tl)e theater was owned
by the American Loan and Trust Com
pany. It was valued at $250,000 and
there waa Insurance" on It for $1107000.
TThe loss to the owners of the theatrical
company Is about $6,500, and the mem
bers of the company lose all their bo
longings. A singular point Is that the
only ploce of property saved was the
fiie engine used in the play, which had
not yet been on the stage.
THEY ARE TAKING COMFORT.
Washington, Oct. 1. Some silver ad
vocates who have been studying the re
peal bills proposed In the senate by
Voorhees, and In the house by "Wilson
have reached the conclusion that from
a silver standpoint, the passage of ei
ther of these bills, instead of proving
an unmixed evil, may be a real benefit
They claim that the enactment of either
of these bills Into law will have the ef
fect of restoring the free coinage of
silver. Their reasoning Is to the follow
Ing effect: The repeal leaves untouched
the fifth section of tho Sherman act
which repeals the purchasing clause of
the Bland-Allison act. This, they argue,
leaves the Bland-Allison act In full
effect.

Olympla, Wash., Oct. 2. George W.

nesses for tho prosecution as liars, nnd
vilified the attorneys for the prosecu
tion. Ha vowed he was Innocent and In
conclusion asked the judge to give him
the full penalty In order to make his
enemies' cup of Joy full to overflowing,
as his age and condition of health
would permit him to serve out but a
short period of his term.

sulted again with President Cleveland
on the compromise terms, but with no
satisfactory rtijult, says a morning pa
