OPERA HOUSE
A TOTAL RUIN
Display Of Goodness Prevented a Fear
full Catastrophe Brilliant Au-
dience Was Present.
CIV Associated Press.N

CINCINNATI OHIO. Jan 22.-The
Grand Opera House is a total ruin, eS-
cert for its stauncEs cutter walls. A dis
play of GOODNESS, perhaps never witnessed
before under such trying conoc-ons, pre-
vented its loss from being attended by d
fearful catastrophe.
Hamlet was being played by the p.
II. Sothern Company. The house was
packed by brilliant audience. During
the second act smoke was seen issuing
from the fourth row in the orchestra.
After quiet assurances from Mr.. Sothern
and an usher the dispersal of the audi
ence began and was carried out with the
utmost order and composure. Nothing TO
indicate the possibility of a panic oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Sothern estimates his loss at $50 coo.
The adjoining large Butler building
caught fire, and the roof and tow upper
floors were practically destroyed.
The present lessees OF the Grand Opera
house are Eainforth and Havlin, and it
belonged to Mrs Charles z. Taft, whose
husband is the proprietor Of the Times
Star. and the loss may be put at s2o0,O0o
The leSsecs interest also is estimated at
about $1,000 covered by insurance.
In the Butler building the losses will
reach $4,000 to $1Go,0G0 There was no in
s,urance on the Grand Opera-house bud
ing.
a panic among the guests of the Palace
Hotel, across the street, was barely
ayerted.
