Mayor Harrison, In company with Building Commissioner Williams, Alderman Mavor and several architects, visited the Iroquois theater building and went over It thoroughly. As they stepped into the building the Inayor accidentally trod on a large lock of human hair, which bad been torn from the head of some victim of the disaster. He shuddered spd, removing the hair from his shoe, placed it on one side of the hallway and passed in. in Avoca. When the fire was discovered most of the guests were In their apartments, and all hurried to escape, but in the tipper story of the building the smoke was so thick that they had great dlffl culty in finding the exit#. Several persons were rescued from the second story through the efforts of three of the guests of the hotel. These three men raised a plank to a window and, breaking In the glass, held it so several women and men could slide down it Ma tyr were enabled to escape in this way, as the stairs and passageways to the bottom floor had Now Year's eve was more than ordinarily exciting in Avoca, the evening being marked by a robbery and the discovery of a mah who, it Is alleged, broke Into the Store of David Lowenstein, about a week ago, and stole a considerable amount of clothing. About 8.30 Mr. Lowenstein was standing inside the door of his clothing store, on Main street, looking out into the street. A well dressed young man came along and commenced looking intently into the store. As Mr. Lowenstein's place had been robbed about a week ago, the proprietor regarded all well dressed men with a closo scrutiny. In the cut of the coat which the stranger wore Mr. Lowenstein thought he recogniied an article which formerly belonged to him. So he came outside and, taking a close look at the article, became certain that It was the one which was stolen from his store. Stealthily approaching the stranger, he caught him and hurried him Into the store. It is said that the stranger attempted to pull a revolver, but Mr. Lowenstein retained a firm grasp on him and held him captive until Constable Healey, who had been sent for, appealed on the scene. Mr. Healey then took hold of the man and kept him prisoner until Mr. Lowenstein secured a warrant for his ah-est from 'Squire Morahan. The prisoner, who gave his ndme as Gordon, was taken before the dispenser of Justice and Mr. Lowenstein recognized everything that he woro as having been in his store before the robbery. Ho was of the opinion that the man had been in there once, also. The Justice thought so, too, and Gordon was committed to Jail In default of bail.
