Boy Singer Avorts Panic. _
SOUTH MANCHESTER. Feb. 7.—-—
When a tire started back of the Park
theatre, last. night, Baimore Balfour.
a boy singer, probably averted a panic
by singing a song while the audience
or nearly 1,000 persons died quietly
out of the doors. The firemen, who
were quickly on the scene, had no dit-
Itlculty in extinguishing the blaze. The
origin of the fire has not yet been de-
'il‘iiiidly determined, but is attributed
Ito defective elecric light Rwlrlnfi.
As the boy was singing, thick clouds
of smoke poured out over the audience.
Several women became panicky. but
cool bonds prevented the least som~
binned of disorder. The loss is trivial
