SECOND PANIC In The SAME HOUSE

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 15.-"The DAN
gers of a Great City," on the stage of
Robinson's opera house tonight, was
cut short in it's performance by tragic
realization of the actual dangers of
a great city. The house was fairly well
filed, but not crowded. A little before
$50 o'clock tonight lady in the audi
ence says she heard a noise which con-
tinued for five minutes before the
catastrophe. She gave it little atten-
ton, thinking it was a part of the
performance. Presently the plastering
began to fall in small particles at first
but enough to alarm some of the timid
or cautious, who retired. A little later
the plastering began to shower down
in great 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, with
out an apparent panic. The crowding
of these to the door obstructed the
passage of people from the parquet
which accounts in a measure for the
number of casualties
Nobody expected at that moment
any other danger than from the falling
plastering. Suddenly and with great
crash, the center truss Of the ceiling
eighty feet long and thirty 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 a great
scattering of joists and timbers.
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 scene, and
it was followed by all the police patrol
wagons, carrying the injured to the
Cincinnati hospital.
The list at the hospital showed three
dead, five dangerously, if not fatally
wounded, and tWenty-six more or less
seriously injured. In addition to these
a large number, probably twenty-five
or thirty, were slightly injured and
able to walk home. Of the dangerously
injured at the hospital, several will re-
quire amputations, yet every one is re-
fusing to sumbit to the operation. A
score of surgeons volunteered their as
sistance to the hospital corps.
So far as definitely known, the list Of

Competitor Case.
1t Is to Be Taken Up by the
Spanish Cabinet.

MADRID, Oct. 15.-The Spanish cabl-
net today discussed the case of the
American schooner Competitor, which
was captured in Cuban waters on April
25, 1896, consideration of which, owing
to the fear which Premier Canovas de
the part of the congress of the United
States was postponed by the late gov
ernment. The cabinet today ordered
the ministers of foreign affairs, the
navy and the colonies to examine the
documents in the case, with the view of
it's eventual settlement by the courts.

NEW KL0NDIKE DISCOVERED
Rich Diggings in the Peace River
Region of Alaska.

Region of Alaska.
TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 15.-John
Spurgeon and another miner who ar
rived here last week, declare that they
Rave discovered another Klondike. 1t
is located, they say, east of the Rocky
mountains from Klondike. The region
they describe is somewhat north of the
Peace river country, Northwest terri
tory, where a small number of miners
have been making good money for
years Spurgeon and his partner back
ed up their story by showing gold and
drafts amounting to $4,000. After
prospecting that region over year
they were told of a rich creek last win
ter by an Indian. In the spring they
went there, built a cabin and started
to work. Gold was found on the sur
face and became more plentiful after
they went down six feet below the
surface Nuggets were plentiful. They
gathered over fifty pounds each of
dust and nuggets and started out be-
cause their supplies were running low.
They came up the Athabasca river and
took the overland trail made by the
Hudson Bay company. Gold was found
in a dry creek bottom, whcih contains
enough pay dirt, Spurgeon says, 10

FIRED ON BY CRUISER.
Trouble for Supposed F1iibuster Of
Georgia Coast.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, Oct. 15.-Reliable
parties residing at Hotel Cumberland
report that yesterday an armed vessel,
living in side of ST. Andrews sound,
was seen to steam up and cross the bar
going out to sea under full speed.
Suddenly there came a report of can
r.onading. The description Of the gov
ernment boat indicates that it was the
Wilmington or some other vessel of her
class. The presumption is that the
cruiser sighted a supposed filibuster
and ordered her to slow up, and upon
refusal fired upon her.

them was made in a group. The cases,
as usual, were confined to no partic-

situation, however, is that recoveries
