Tims ihe Bnltimoro fire has been made the subject of a theatrical production on Coney Island. The slumbering city is seen, and 6o is tho building in which the fire started. Flames rise- from this building in the- heart of the city, and as tho fire spreads the fire departments from Washington, Philadelphia, and other cities arrlv© to help tl»e local department. The arrival of tho New York fire department at tho Baltimore and 1 Ohio depot is shown as the conflagration is at its height. This Baltimore firo show is the latest thing in its line, but out at St. Lonjs exposition the scenes of the Galveston flood aro being niphtly re-enacted with much roaltstic fidelity.
