Guiding the roof rafters, and brick walls, fell
in causing the instant death of twenty-five of
the congregation, and seriously injuring ten or
twenty more.
The scene was heart-rcnding. Soon large
crowd assembled, and began their search for
the victims. A mother and her three children
were first discovered grouped in death. An
other scene presented father, mother and
babe, the father dead, and the mother mortal
" wounded, while their little child, placed be-
meath them, escaped unhurt. being protected
by the forms of its parents. In other instances
some of the victims were found terribly bruised
