A terrible calamity occurred in Robinson's
OPERA ouseAt Cincinnati on the afternoon of
Saturday, Feb. s. The house was crowded al
most to suffocation, principally with women
and children, to witness the closing entertain
ment of series of allegorical tableaux by chill
dren of the public schools for the benefit OF
the Relief Union. The red light of the calcism,
turned on suddenly as, the curtain was about to
rise, alarmed a child in the balcony, who cried
g fire!" About third of the vast, closely
packed audience, seized with alarm, rushed
for the exits, down stairs from all parts
There were two death-traps one was the angle
of a stairway at the second story leading to the
gallery the other was the main front vesti-
bule. close to the sidewalk of Ninth street,
near Plum street. Children fell down the five
steps leading down to the marble thing OF this
vestibule, and in minute the bodies of women
and children were three deep there, an awful
mass in a space sixteen feet square. Out of
this place six dead and dying persons were
taken At the stairs angle in the second story

Chief Justice White, of Utah, does not be-
Iieve IN mInclng matters Wnen IL comes 10
dealing with that great moral cancer, polyga-
my. In his charge to the grand jury at Salt
Lake City, the other day, he used this pointed
and vigorous language:
eve had better look it squarely in the face, dis
tasteful may be to some, and govern ourselves
by right reason and manly discretion in dealing
with it. Polygamy must be suppressed in this Ter
ritory. Mormonism may survive it, and, relieved
from it, would stand unshackled and free as every
other creed or more of religious worship, shielded
and protected by the Constitution of our common
country; but, if Mormonism cannot sever itself
from polygamy, it courts the bridal of DEATH"
Evidently, Judge White is the right man in
the right place.
