It would appear that death by accident, as M well as by the hand of violence, la fated to run ita course in our miusi. is was um m weeks ago to-day tnat there occurred on Sansom street, above Ninth, a terrible boiler MploBion. by which over two dozen nnfortu ate men were, on the instant, and without preparatory warning, brought face to face with death. The bodies of some of the victims of this calamity still remain burled bcueath the rains of the building; and before their sorrow )ng friends have bad the slight consolation ot (lvlag their remains a decent Christian burial, we are called upon to record another disaster Which more than equals the former la the de struction of property, and almost rivals It In the lossot life resulting At half-past 9 o'clock last evening, the New American Theatre, run KlDg from Walnut street through to Smsom, at the distance of about sixty feet west from Eighth, caught Are and was entirely consumed, the disaster culminating at about a quarter before 11 o'clock, by the falling of the front wall, which burled a large number of firemen and citizens In the ruins. As far as can now be ascertained, the fire riglnated in the stable nnder the rear portion f the building, in which were kept the horses of the establishment when it was used as a cir cus. On the Sansom street front, adjoining the astern wall of the building, was a narrow passage-way, used as a private entrance for the members of the theatrical company. Next to this were the stables, to which access was had toy means of a raised gangway from the street. Immediately over the stalls was the place where the hay and ottier feed for the horses was kept, and in which, it Is supposed, tiie fire originated. Over this, again, hud formerly been an open space, contain ing a ring about forty feet in diameter, used for training the horses of the circus. Hut since the building had been exclusively devoted to dramatic and variety representations, the greater portion of this had been cut up into dressing and property rooms. Surrounding these, and also on the lower floors, were several other apartments used for similar purposes, while just to the right of tuo stage, facing Wal nut street, was the green-room of the establish ment. In these different rooms were stored the large and costly wardrobe of Mr. Robert Fox's variety company, and on the stage was a large amount of scenery, much of which was quite new. It was not a matter of wonder that the flames spread with great rapidity tbrouKh such a variety of combustible material. Devout Ins, In the first place, thecoiubusliUleartielesHtored In the buy-loft, the flames, accompanied by dense clouds of smoke, broke through tUa doors and windows of the Sansom street front. If the proper appliances for extinguishing the fire bad been on the grouud at the lime. It might have been suppressed before communi cating with the portions of the building used for theatrical purposes. But the oontlaKrallou soon extended to the dressing and property rooms over and around the hay-loft, and when these, were gained there was no chance of saving the building and its contents, as a great pot tiou of It was ooustructed of wood of a very drvand inflnmahle character. The first warning that the inmates of the au ditorium had of the presence of the (limes was riven by small clouos of smoke, which Issued from one of the doors by which, the member of the orchestra gained access to their depart ment. As there was a large number of persons among the audience who were pulling away Industriously at their pipes and (cigars, and as flame and smoke were very frequently brought Into requisition as stage accessories, this did not attract much attention at first. But the volnme gradually increased in size and density. And then a suppressed murmur of "Are" ran through the audience, and several persons hur ried themselves Into the street, without any further admonition. It is scaroely possible but that some of the officers and attaches of the establishment were aware of the real state of the case; but they deemed It inexpedient to alarm the audience and thereby cause a panic, which might have resulted in serious loss of life In the effort to escape from the burning building. They also honed that the (lames in the stable might be extinguished before any great damage was done. For these reasons they ex erted themselves to quiet the com motion, which was beginning to make headway amoug the performers on the stage. At the time that the smoke appeared, the orchestra bad Just finished the overture to the '-Demon Dance" of the Black Crook; the curtain had risen, and from twenty-five to thirty young girls, dre-ised In scanty gauze were about commencing the evolutions peculiar to that spectacular scoue. The dance was continued for a moment, but the volume of smoke Increased so rapidly that the performance had to terminate. Then there was a general rush for the exit doors on the part of the andience, and In a short time the theatre was cleared of spectators, happily without acci dent. Several of the small boys who were seated in the upper tier, however, were so ter rified that they leaped recklessly from trie second story window to the pavement. A lad was afterwords ploked up in the middle of the Street, with his skull so badly crushed that he expired In a few minutes: and It is probable that be was one of those who leaped from the Windows. The actors and actresses, as soon as the per formance terminated, endeavored to gain their dressing-rooms for the purpose of securing their several wardrobes. Tnose whose rooms were nearest the Walnut street frout succeeded In rescuing many of their effects, but about this time the flames broke through the floors in the rear, and all access to the other rooms was thus hut off, as well as egress from the theatre by means of the private entrance on Ban so in street. Some of the male performers, assUted by persons la the audienco, endeavored to retard the progress of the flames by tearing down the soenery; but while they were thus engaged the drop-curtain fell to the floor of the Stage, and the work was brought to a close. 11 the members of the company, and the remainder of the audience, then gained the street as rapidly as was possible. The per sonators of Klhloptan characters did not have time to remove the stains of the burnt cork from their faces, and the danseuses were hur ried by the throng lntr the street, attired in their flesh-colored tights And short gauzy dresses. One of the dtuulng girls was so over come by the excitement and exhaustion that she faluted away Just as sue reached the open stir. She was immediately removed to a place where restoratives could be applied; and, as far 41 we have been able- to ancet Mia, no other member of the company met with any mishap. The others also sought refuge in the neighboring houses or their homes, that they might as soon sta poatdhie attire themselves iu more becoming garments. About one hundred persons were comprised In the theatrical company, and attached to the Theatre in various positions, all of whom, tor the lime being, are thus thrown out of employment. The lessee of the establishment was Mr. Robert Vox. Mr. Kotiert Karnshaw was the business manager, ana Mr. James Pil grim the acting and atage manager. Tno orchestra was under the leadership of Mr das . Uve Kilter. The leading performers were Frank llrower, Frank Wood. Charles U. Stewart (sur named "Fatly Stewart"), Mademoiselle La Jtosa, and It. M. J. Siner. The principal mem bers of the stock company were Denny Gal lagher, Miss Alice Seldler, Miss Maggie Wesner, mod Miss Julia I'orter. Before the whole building was wraDned in flames, ths firemen suoveeded in carrying out Into the street severnl mirrors, pictures, and other pieces of furnllurn pantly moved; and thene, with the few wardrobes that were saved by their owner, were all thai was rescued from thn burning building. The flreorlainatpd In the stables about twenty minutes after o'clock, as nearly as can be as certained. A half hour must have elapsed before the audience and performers were con vinced that the building was on fire; and in another half hour the flames had spread over the entire roof to the Walnnt street frout. By this time the general alarm bad been sounded by the Slate (louse bell. A large number or firemen, with their apparatus, were already the ground working inciefatlgably to subdue the flames. To these a large reinforcement was soon brought by the general alarm. Hundreds of people from the neighborhood were also present as spectators, completely blocking up all the surrounding streets. The scene was, Indeed, one that was well worth beholding. Owing to the combustible character of much of the material of the build ing, and the light texture of the scenery and wardrobes, the flames roe hlsh into the nlr, and a laree, dense mantle of smoke rested above the scene and gradually spread Itself over the vicinity. Persona at a distance of ten miles from the city saw the fire distinctly. Tne wind was not blgb at the time, and therefore the sparks were carried to no great distance. Willi 1 tie exception of the surrounding buildings, no damage was inflicted, save by the firing of a few awnings lu the vicinity, which were soon extlnnulshed. Plumbers or streams or water were inrown upon and into the burning building, but with out materially checking the progress of the names, until the Whole interior was a mass oi ruins. The firemen, however, worked nobly, and did their best. Several of them made a sad and disastrous mistake, however, towards the close of the conflagration. The barroom of the establishment was situated on the Walnut Street Iront, at the western side, ana tne healed and exhausted firemen broke into this, and helped themselves lreely to the liquor which t' am Binretl there. This achievement was attended with great apparent danger from the first, for the wall on the Walnut street front was then in a threaten ing condition, and those who were standing immedintf ly against It were continually warned by the crowd of the risk they were encounter leg. Little hf ed was paid to these timely ad monitions, and Jut as those who had forced their way into the bar-room were coming out, about Blxly feet of the wall fell outward upon the sidewalk and s'reet. The portion which was tbus precipitated to the ground extended from the eastern wall of the building t the second window from the west, and from the roof to the top of the entrance doors. A great commotion was created in the crowd of specta tors by this mishap, and immediately there was a rush in all directions from the neigh borhood of the theatre. So great was the pressure in the dense assemblage, that persons were whirled around the corner of Klgbth and Walnut streets, and carried far down each thoroughfare, without having the remotest idea of what had happened. When the consternation thus caused had somewhat subsided, the workmen returned to the build lDgs, and to their dismay found that about two dozen firemen and others bad been buried beneath the ruins of the fallen walls. Instant search was made for the uufortnnale victims of this disaster, and as fust as they were recovered the living and the dead were removed to the neighboring bouses or taken at once to their homes. A complete list of the killed and wounded will be found below. The llames still continued to rage, unmindful of the loss of itfo which they had cansed; nud It was not until after eleven o'clock that they were almost suppressed. During the remainder of the night, however, they continued to linger among the ruins, and when we visited the loins ag"ln this morning, smoke was still issuing lrom the vhurred remains of the build ing, and here and there the fire still burst forth spasmodically. The scene presented by the Interior was one of desolation. Only the ex terior walls are now standing, and a small por tion of the second floor, which stll adheres to the Walnut street iront. But scattered around the former auditorium are the charred posts that ouce supported the galleries, Imparting to the scene the aspect of a forest through which the flames have ruged. A strong force of policemen are on duly, keeping all intruders out of the ruins. The Ruined Theatre had a front of seventy leet on Walnut and Sansom streets, and was one hundred and sixty-five feet In depth. The ground belongs to the estate of the lata Isaao Brown Parker, Esq. All tbe Improvements, Including the building, furniture, fixtures, and scenery, were tbe pro perly of Mr. Hoberl Fox, who estimates bts loss at (28,(100. On tuls he has an insurance of juoou in Mew x ora, isew juogiaaa, and isai it more companies, whose uainei and sever.il liabilities cannot, as yet, be ascertained, as tue sale containing the policies has not yet beea opened. A short lime since Mr. Fox cancelled policies amounting to (3000. The Kffects of the Fire on the Adjacent Bull lugs were quite serious. As soon as the flames had extended to the roof of the Theatre, they com municated with those of tbe row of buildings adjoining the establishment on the east, and fronting on Eighth street. The firemen paid dne attention to this locality, scaling ths roofs by means of ladders, and working diligently with their axes and hose. The bedding and other combustible articles in the upper stories of these buildings were also burled into the street, and mirrors and other valuable and portable pieces of furniture were taken from the houses to those in the vicinity which were lu no Immediate danger. The bnildiogs on Walnut and Sansom streets, adjoining the The atre, were also more or less damaged.
