Wilton Jackeye, the star of the play now being presented at th Garrick, stepped before the curtain and entertained tbe andlence for ever five minutes with a witty speech which kept bis hearers in continual laughter. The curtain rose for the next act without anybody other than the theatre employee knowing that hundreds of lives were being sacrificed almost next door. When the people filed out of the Garrick they were greeted at the door by hundreds of frantic men and women, who ' anxiously scanned their faces, looking for members of their families who had gone down town sim-p- iy to attend a matinee without slating to what theatre they had intended to go. There were many scenes of Joyful recognition and astonished members of the Garrick audience were hugged and kissed In frantic delight by relatives. Some of the most remarkable incidents of tho fire were not knows until today. K.

Finding that they were unable to attend tbe groat number being brought In, Bishop Muldoon announced that he would give 'a general absolution to all Catholics among the victims. Duriug tbe brief moment that the two priests, with uplifted hands besought God to pardon all the frailties of His dying servants, tbe poor mangled men- and women who lay In dozens on the floor seemed to realize that they were face to faro with the last scone in their lives. Many though crazed with pain, feezed to muan, and fastened their fast diminishing eyes on the two priest a After the absolution was given, some of them, barely able to move, feebly stretched out their hands imploringly and a to the priests for a hand word of sympathy before they passed away.
