Just at this point the greatest alarm was
created Something was heard to break in the
gallery, and its occupants, apprehensiye OF dan
ger, began to press out "fake care" said one,
"dont crush me-" "Whats the matter!" AMY
God, you're killing me-" Delegates under the
gallery, and nearly every one in the hall were
in moment on their feet, inquirng the cause
of the Consideration. Finding that the struc-
ture was not falling, there was general shout
of Joy and considerable laughter.
The PRESIDENri in vain endeavored to en-
force order, by calling on gentlemen upon the
right and on the left The confusion continued
| for nearly five minutes.
| General WARD, elevating his voice high
above the din, said it was important the conven-
ton should learn the cause of the alarm. This
house stands on a solid rock, he said, and the
galleries are sustained by iron bars which cant
give way There was simply the breaking of
bench in the gallery. That's all.
This announcement was welcomed by APP
plause.
