Killed BY FALLING CEILING
THREE DEAD AND THIRTY WOUNDED
The Theater Dome Fell and Cincin-
natl Play-Goers Are Killed and
Manned, Soon After the Raising
of the Curtain.

| Cincinnati, Oct. l6.-Three persons were
killed and over 80 others were more OF
less seriously injured by the falling of the
dome of Robinson's opera house last even
ing. About s:45 o'clock, soon after the
raising of the curtain to the performance
of Dangers of a Great City, plastering
began to fall from the dome ceiling, 40 Oh
so feet above the heads of the people seat
ed i'll the parquet. The house was fairly
well filled, but not crowded. The plaster
ing fell in small particles at first, but
enough to alarm some of the timid, who
retired. A little later the plastering be-
gan to shower down in great chunks
There was rush from the gallery, which
was not very well 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 OBJ
structed the passage of the people in the
parquet, which accounts in a measure for
the number of casualties. Nobody expect
ed at the moment any other danger than
from the falling plastering. Suddenly,
and with great crash, the great central
truss of the ceiling, so feet long and 80
feet wide, came plunging down. The ends
Of it struck on the two gallery wings and
doubled it up in the center, sending it
down into the parquet with great scat
tering of joists and timbers Nothing on
the stage was harmed. Of course, there
were means from the injured, and, as of
ten happens, the loudest from those least
hurt
