PniLADELrniA, April 28. A million dol bra gone up in names and smoke and near ly an entire square consumed Is the record ot the fire fiend's work In Philadelphia last night. The territory devastated by the flames Is bounded on the north by Baasom street, on the south by Walnut street, on the east by Eighth street and on the west by Ninth street In the block were the Central theater, now a smoldering ruin, and the historic old Waluut Street theater, which was not reached by the Are. The Times autiex, which stood directly in the rear of tho Central theater, where the flames originated, Is also In ruins. In addi tion to The Times, which occupied two floors and the basement, the building was occupied by a number of business houses, whose loss will be heavy. Taggart's Bun day Times and Poulson's hotel, which stand on Walnut street above the theater, are badly gutted, nnd the loss will be heavy. All the buildings on Eighth street between Walnut nnd Bansom are badly damaged by llro, smoke and water, as are those fronting on Walnut street. The Lou at, 000,000. ETA careful estimate places the entire loss at over f 1,000,000, and it Is said that the in surance will not reach (400,000. The Are is ono of the most sensational which has ever visited this city. At 8 o'clock Gllmore'8 Central theater, the most popular variety theater in the city, was crowded, the at traction being "The Devil's Auction." While the orchestra was playing the overture a stage hand was startled by the discovery of fire In the flies. A sky border had swung against, one of. the border lights, and In an Instant a sheet of flame swept over the stage. The Inflammable scenery caught like tinder, and almost before tbe alarm could be given the stage was a mass or ure. A Wild Moth for Life. Half dressed chorus girls and actors made a wild rush for life and sought to reach the street. Those on the stage easily escaped, but those in the dressing rooms under and bove the stage had a hard struggle for life. As tuey rusued from their dressing rooms they were met at every turn by the names and many had narrow escapes. A numbel of the women fainted and were carried Into the street almost at the cost of their lives and those ot their rescuers. All of them lost everything except the costumes which they had on at tue.moinent the fire started. In the front of the house the first warn ing received was from the crier on the stage, which was followed by a burst of smoke and there was a wild rush for the door. Men, women and boys were borne down and crushed to the floor In the fight to reach safety. In the top gallery the rush was the worst, as the staircase leading down to the street is narrow and tortuous. At the Walnut street front were improved fire escapes and hundreds reached the street by them. Hundreds more were, however, trampled under foot, crushed and bruised Into insensibility and left lying in the burn ing theater. The police and firemen brought out those who had been injured and left to perish. Ambulances from the Jeffersou, Pennsyl vania. Hahnemann and University hos pitals carried about 130 injured to the hos pitals. In an iucredlbly short time the rear ot the theater was a moss of seething names, which shot high Into the air. Directly in the rear of the Central theatei and fronting on Sansom street was the eight story Times annex, separated from the theater only by a few feet of space. As the flames shot np they burst through the windows and the building was doomed. When the alarm was given the whole force of The Times was at work, but every one escaped. The Times editorial rooms were elegantly fitted up and a valuable library occupied a Bectionofthe floor. Everything was eaten up by the flro. A Panic Averted at the Walnut. At the southwest corner of the square at Ninth and Walnut is the historio old Wal nut Street theater, where a large audience had assembled to see a comedy. When the alarm Was given Business iaunugur iitmpwa decided Instantly to have the announcement made that no performance would be given, and to dismiss the assemblage with the assurance that tickets would be redeemed, Manager E. II. Price, of the comedy com pany, wishing to avoid a panic, announced that on account of the continued illness ol one of the actors no performance would be given. The audience left the theater In or der and no accident occurred. From the Central theater and The Times building the flames spread to Poulson's res taurant, and for a time it looked as if the whole square would go. Sansom street la narrow, and from the burning Times annex the flames swept across and set fire to the store of B. M. Wanamaker & Co., which fronts on Chestnut Btreet. The flames in Wanamaker's were finally extinguished, but not until considerable damage had been done. The Times annex, however, coula not be saved, and by 11 o'clock was a mast or ruins. Bceura at the fire. In "The Devil's Auction" company were forty people eighteen men and twenty-two women. The stage manager or the com pany reports that all are accounted for. The rush down the fire escapes was thrill ing. Like rats the men and boys of the galleries rolled and tumbled down, with an occasional clutch at a rod or support to stay their flight. Many fell with but very few pauses in their journey and landed on the sidewalk with broken limbs and other in juries. It is miraculous that no one was killed. The following is a partial list of the badly burned and Injured: John McCouley, Harry McCIonkey, Robert McQroarty, Abram Mullock, James Pigeon, Joseph Prettyinan. Rand Patterson, Prank Robinson, Cannl Kibley, James Rice, Patrick Sweeny. James 8canlan. Charles Sharkey Joseph Silver, John Ward. Charles Worden, George Gantes and Felix Goldberg. Mr. McLaughlin, of The Times, estimates his loss at $350,000; Insurance, (160,000. colonel Mccmre lost many books, valuable manuscripts and clippings. This is the fourth fire that has visited the site where smoulders the remains of the Central theater, In 1801 thirteen ballet girls were roasted to death, although the building ot that time was but slightly dam aged, Again iu 180 disaster came. The house was then called the American Variety theater. It was burned to the ground, and seven men, four of them firemen, were crushed under tho fall of the Walnut street wall.

WILLIAM ASTORDE AD 1 He Was the Senior Member of the House of Astor. A FORTUNE OF SIXTY MILLIONS Left to be Divided Among Ills Chil dren, One of Whom Is Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton lie Was One of the Richest Men In Amerlcn. Paris, April 27. - William Astor, senior member of the house of Astor in America, and grandson of the original John Jacob Astor, died at the Hotel Liverpool, aged 61. The cause of his death, according to one report, was heart failure, while another account says it was caused by conjestion of the lungs. Mr. Astor was the father of Mrs, J. Coleman Drayton, and was greatly wor ried over the Borrowc-Fox-Mllbank scan dal In which she was Involved. Next to his nephew, William Waldorf Astor, and probably Jay Gonld, William Astor was the richest citizen of America. His wealth was recently estimated at t80.000.000, the greater part of which is invested In New York real estate. William Astor. who during the life of his father was completely overshadowed dv nun, nas always Deen more or less in tne io backirround so far as rrabllc promt nence was concerned. He was only re- CO ignlzed by the reflected light ol his wife, who since the death ot Mrs. John miD, will, Nim ,UD ut,ll v, . n uuuu Jacob Astor, several years before that of her husband, has been the acknowledged leader of New York fashionable society. For many years the influence of Mrs. William Astor in society matters has been all powerful, and she has, in fact, neen tno solo armter or tne rate or xnose who have sought to gain admittance to the "inner circle," or the creme do la creme, as Ward McAllister calls It. Her predecessor had been Mrs. John Jacob Astor, her sister-in-law, and after her death it was natural that she should assume the scepter, the wife of William Waldorf Astor not being recognized by her as entitled to take the lead.

The trial of Itava chol, with half a dozen aliases, Charles Achllle Simon, alias "Dlscultj" Jao. Beala, alias Joseph Matins, Charles Ferdinand Chanmnrtln, and the girl Rosalie Soubere, occurred yesterday at the Seine Assize court. So many threats have been made that friends of the prisoners would attempt some desperate act either to free the accused or prevent their trial that ad mission to the court room was se verely restricted, Only those person ally known to the court officers and the twenty-two witnesses were ad mitted. Elaborate precautions were taken by the au- 4t.ftlaa tn miflfil against any at- kavachol. tempt to Interfere with the course of justice. After the jurors had taken their places the prisoners, headed by Ravachol, were brought in. They were guarded by a large detachment of police. The pro ceedings were at once begun by the reading of tho indictment, which occu pied some time. When the reading was concluded Judge Gues examined Rava chol concerning the murders which it is charged he has committed, and also concerning the explosions. Ilavachol Admits His Oulll. Ravachol, in a nonchalant manner, ad mitted his guilt, nnd took upon himself the entire responsibility for the Boule vard St. Germain anil Rue Cllchy ex plosions. When questioned as to his motives for causing the explosions Ravachol replied: "I felt a feeling of unfeigned anger at the conviction of Levallois and Perret. I do not tldnk that Benoit and Bnlot should have demanded the death of the fathers of families. Then, again, the brutality of the police when they ar rested my comrades revolted my con science, and I determined upon revenge. "In regard to the St. Germain explo sion. I loaded a bomb that contained sixty cartridges. I dressed myself in broadcloth and went to Benoit s house without attracting any attention. After depositing the machine and lighting the fuse I ran down stairs and reached the pavement just as the explosion occurred. "The nneration in the Rue Clichv Was much the same, only I carried the bomb in a bag. A norOon of the powder be came displaced and thus rendered it ex tremely dangerous to light the bomb, as it might explode in an Instant. Yet I did not hesitate to take the risk." Among the witnesses examined were M. Benoit and M. Bulolt, the magistrates whose lives had been attempted. The little waiter, Herot, who kept iu hiding Monday for fear of his life, was the last witness for the prosecution. All signs of happiness, which his 4,000 francs in tips after Havachol's arrest had caused him, have vanished completely. He was white ana scared, anu lumnea nervously every time a window rattled or a door slammed. He was such a pitiable figure that even the jury, who were hardly less nervous, smueu as ne nagetea aoout un der the examination. After the taklns ol testimony the lury retired, and soon returned with a verdict of guilty against Ravachol and Simon anu mil. imiiiv Ravachol and Simon were then sentenced by Judge Clues to penal servitude for uxe, anu tne otners were aiscnargeu. SI. Very Is Not Dead. The rerjort that M. Very had died from the effects of his Injuries was incorrect. The report had its origin in the unusual effect of the chloroform that was admin istered to him at the hospital, where his legs were amputated. It is said at the hospital that his recovery is possible. His wife and daughter Jeanne were badly bnrned about their faces, hut it is not thought that their condition Is serious, though they are suffering a great aeai rrom shock, ram iiammonu, a printer, who was in the restaurant at the time of the explosion, Is horribly wounded in various parts of his body. His condition is critical. Another printer named Qoudon Reger was severely burned. The other Injured persons are progressing towards recovery.
