A new machine was at once ordered by telegraph and i was received in time for the performances to go on as us next day. « Chief Charles Higham made another inspection of the theate and he announces that the place in which the machine is locals is absolutely fireproof and there can be no danger at any tit The films are of celluloid and might be ignited through accideu but the management of the theater has taken extraordinary prtl cautions to ensure the safety of the patrons of the place, and '4 gives assurance that there was no occasion for a general alan being turned in Tuesday evening. The first round of the alarm sounded box 15, and Pho patrol and a number of people went to that box, which is locate at the corner of North street and Low avenue*. Two rosaries, which were lost during the excitement of fire, await their owners at police headquarters. [If all managers would use the same precautions, all need scare would soon pass.
