TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23. 1884 Pd yy i DOUBLE SHEET 2d Edition. Latest grams to Tho St A THEATER BURNED. Destructive Fire in New York This Morning—Harrigan & Hart’s Then- ter Consumed by the Fiames—A Panic im the Colionade Hotel. PARTICULARS OF THE FIRE. Naw Yor, December 23.—A few minutes before eight o'clock this morning Harrigan & Hart's Thea- ‘ter Comique was found to be on fire. A police oM- cer saw heavy clouds of smoke coming out of the large windows on the second floor. He sounded an alarm at once, but when the engines arrived, three minutes later, the entire building was one mass of flames. So flercely and quickly did the flames lick up everything that came tn their way that the fire- inen could do but little more than direct streams of water from various points on the burning mass. A police officer made several heroic attempts to get the small safe out of the treasurer's office to a place of safety, but each time he was driven back by the flames’ ‘The tre had gained such headway before it was discovered that in an hour’s time the building was in ruins. ‘When it was found that the theater could not be saved the water tower and two engines were jeftat work on the front of the buiding, while the other engines were sent to the rear, on Lafayette place, to protect the adjoining property there. The Col- onnade hotel, which adjoins the theater on the south, as well as the buliding next door on the Nortii'side, caught fire several times during tho progress of the conflagration, but the flatnes were put out by the energetic efforts of the fremen. THR ORIGIN OF THE FIRE IN DOUBT. Just where the fire originated 1s not definitely known. It 1s claimed by some that smoke was seen issuing from the building by persons in the New York hotel as early as 7 o'clock, and that It broke out somewhere inthe rear of the stage. Others claim that it had only just begun when it was discovered, and that it Started In the neigh. Dorhood of the rooms of the actors’ fund associa- tion, on the second floor. From the flerceness or the fire when the fire department arrived, thé firemen incline to the opinion that it had been burning atleast haif an hour before the alarm was sounded. The regular company of the theater was busy rehearsing Mr. Harrigan’s new play, “McA! lister’s Legacy” up to 3 o'clock this morning, this play was to be put on the boards on January 5th. Everything at this hour was perfectly safe. ‘The building was then left in charge of the night watchman. He went home this ‘morning about 6 o'clock, at which hour the | Dullaing was seemingly well protected against all dangers. A gas jet is left burning on the stage throughout the night and,as the wind was blowing quite briskly tis morning, 1¢ 13. supposed that a plece of paper may have been thrown agalnst this light and the fire started in this way. Mr. Harrigan says he is sure that the fire broke out on orover the stage. Fifteen minutes after the fire was discovered the roof fell in with a loud | permit this plan to be carried out. However, the | curred by hit in the trials brought agalnst him by crash, which was tollowed in a second or two by A LOUD EXPLOSION in the rear structure. Twenty minutes Inter all | the four walls, except that on Broadway, had fallen in. was saved ‘from the wreck. books and money belonging to the Actors’ Fund Assoctation | which were in the safe in their rooms on the second floor, are supposed to have been totally destroyed. | ‘The sare in the treasurer's office of the theater | contained besides the books of the establishment Some $2,000 in money and the manuscript of several of Mr. Harrigan’s plays. A PANIC IN THE COLLONADE HOTEL. ‘The excitement in the Collonade hotei Was for a tme Intense. The waiters had gone through the building and aroused the guests. Many of the lat- ter became so terrified that they ran down stairs in thelr night, clothes, never waiting a moment to | put on their habiliments. ‘The proprietor and his | clerks, however, succeeded in quieting them after | awhile. Considerable ge Was done to the | building No. 782 Broadway, which adjoined the theater. THE THEATER COMIQUE occupied two lots on Broadway—Nos. 728 and 730. It had a frontage of 75 feet and a depth of 130 feet, and was separated from the wing of the Coionadée hotel by a smail yard. The ground ts owned by the Stewart estate, and was leased by Messrs. Harrigan & Hart, who erected a three-story brick building on it at a cost of $100,000. It is supposed that the ‘total loss by the fire will be about $200,000. ‘The stage settings in the house were valued at $85,000, he expensive properties and the ward- robe of the entire company were also destroyed. ‘The loss to Mr. Dave Braham, who had his original manuscripts of all the manuscripts of all the music which has made the names of Harrigan & Hart famous throughout all the land cannot be esti- mated. The insurance poilcy on the property ran out only a short time ago, and in the press of busl- ness its renewal had been neglected. ee Mr. Winthrop More Comfortable. Boston, December 23.—Hon.
