The cause of the terrible accident is somewhat
uncertain, but the most plausible theory is that
the heavy iron pillars supporting the roof Of
the second story balcony sank into the plank
upon which they rested, thus pulling the south

the entire wing to cave in. These columns
were made of large pieces of boiler iron, rolled
into circular form, stove pipe fashion, the
jointures not being bolted together.
