Miraculous Escape.

The escape of Will Jones. the we'll
known Cincinnati actor. Just before
the roof of the burning Pike building
fell and his rescue. half dead, from
the top of the building was a thrilling
and almost miraculous one. Jones's
presence of mind, which led him to
throw his cuff into the street below
and thus make his whereabouts known,
saved his life. When he took on his
cuff he wrote on It.: 81 am on the roof.
nearly dead from gas" He was res
cued by firemen.
It was perhaps the greatest scare
the city ever had, as 1t was thought
at one time that the entire business
section was endangered. and such
would have been the case IL there had
been brisk winds. Joseph Schaefer
and John keenan, were seriously in
jured by falling walls, but both will
recover. Although there are reports
Of persons being missing, 1t is not
thought that any lives were lost.
The Pike Theater building was to-
tally destroyed by fire in 1866, and It
narrowly escaped total destruction on
March 80. 1902. when there was a Sun
day matinee in progress. but no lives
were lost in any of the fires. After
the fire of last year the interior Of the
Pike was remodeled and the theater
redecorated and refurnished at an ex-
pense of sveral thousand dollars, over
$500 worth Of gold leaf alone being
used in the decorations. The scenery
and costumes used by the Pike stock
company during the season, which
closed last Saturday night, valued at
about $4,000. were stored in the opera
