| Have a thought for the happy two tonight Who have passed their tenth wedded year, And the best of wishes, kind and bright, Which we impart With a loving heart That is faithful and sincere. |
VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY.
From the testimony presented to us we, the jury, find the following were the causes of said fire:
Grand drapery coming in contact with electric flood or arc light, situated on iron platform on the right hand of stage, facing the auditorium.
City laws were not complied with relating to building ordinances regulating fire-alarm boxes, fire apparatus, damper or flues on and over the stage and fly galleries.
We also find a distinct violation of ordinance governing fireproofing of scenery and all woodwork on or about the stage.
Asbestos curtain totally destroyed; wholly inadequate, considering the highly inflammable nature of all stage fittings, and owing to the fact that the same was hung on wooden bottoms.
Building ordinances violated inclosing aisles on each side of lower boxes and not having any fire apparatus, dampers or signs designating exits on balcony.
LACK OF FIRE APPARATUS.
Building ordinances violated regulating fire apparatus and signs designating exits on dress circle.
