HORROR.
Dome of the Opera House Falls

Dangers of Great City," the Play

TWENTY-SIX PEOPLE HUR'

OlNClNNATl, Oct. Ill ne hangers
Of Great City" on the stage of Rob-
inson's Opera House last night was cut
short in its performance by a tragic
realization of the actual dangers of q
great city.
The house was we'll filed, not crowd
ed A little before 80 lady in the
audience says she heard creeping
noise which continued for five minutes
before the catastrophe. She gave it lit
tie attention thinking it was a part of
the performance. Presently the plaster
ing began to fall in small particles at
first, but enough to alarm some of the
timid or cautious, who retired. A lit
tie later the plastering began to shower
down in chunks. 1t came from the
ceiling above which supported the
dome. There was a rush from the
gallery which was not very we'll filled.
The balcony was soon emptied. Those
in the dress circle retired as promptly
as possible, and strange to say without
an apparent panic. The crowding of
these to the door INSTRUCTED the passage
of people from the parquette, which ac-

casualties.
Nobody expected at that moment any
other danger than from the falling
plastering. Suddenly and with great
crash the great central truss of the cell
ing, so feet long and 80 feet wide, came
plunging down. The ends of it struck
on the two gallery wings and doubled
it mp in the center, sending it down
into the parquette with a great scatter
ment of joists and timbers. Nothing
on the stage was harmed.
The news spread rapidly. There was
rush OF patrol wagons and of firemen
to the scene. The salvage corps with
its wagon was first on the ground, and
1t was followed by all the police patrol
wagons, carrying the injured TO the
Cincinnati hospital.
The list at the hospital showed two
dead, five dangerously, If not fatally,
wounded and 26 more or less seriously
injured, as follows:
THE DEAD.
Isaac Neighbors
Mrs George Kleeman.
FATALLY INJURED.

In addition to these large number,

the dangerously injured at the hospital
several will require amputation, yet
every one refusing to submit to the
operation. A score of surgeons volun-
teered their assistance to the hospital
corps. A sufficient number was &C.
cepted
The scene in front Of the hospital
door was a sad one. Hundreds of peo-
pie gathered there clamoring for the
names of the injured. An attendant
stood at the door with list of those
brought to the hospital and answered
these anxious INQUIRIES. Many names

The price offered by the operators was

when the question of signed agree.

OUR HIGH TAXES.

The tax levy OF Lincoln county
for this year IS just about double
that it has been heretofore. The
reason for this, however, is not
generally known. The county
commissioners are not to blame for
this increase---any other commits
sioners would have been obliged to
meet the same situation.
We find an increase of six cents
on the 500 valuation in our
state tax, this the county could not
help. And we find an increase of
thirty-four cents on our current
county expenses, this has no doubt
been caused by the large amount of
criminal business. but five prison
ers in the penitentiary for long
terms is some satisfaction for this
increase. There is an increase of
twenty cents in our school expenses,
but this is compensated for in a
large number of new school houses
and much greater attendance of
school children. There is also an |
increase of fifteen cents OH the |
road and bridge tax but these
improvements are permanent and
this increase will not be needed
hereafter. We lost a large amount
't assessable property through
most Infamous law which taxes
stock wherever they go instead of
me permanent tax in the county
where the stock belongs. The valid
ty OF this law is now being tested
n court and if we are successful,
We will get back a large amount of
he tax which we have thus lost.
'hese are some of the reasons for
ur increased taxation.
But our heaviest increase comes

'ven cents, this must be paid and
