ACCIDENT AT TUE CATHOLIC CuuRoH
AT OswEGo, N. Y-On the evening of
the 9Th instant, while ST. Mary's Gath
ohc) church at Oswego, New York, was
crowded, the floor suddenly gave way,
causing the loss Of several lives. The
Palladium says:
The scene that ensued is beyond the
power of language to describe The
groans, shrieks, prayers and suppications
of the mass of human beings thus thrown
in a confused heap in the chasm below,
as well as the horror-stricken mass be-
side, in the other part of the house, was
awful beyond description. Those who
were uppermost in the preciptatod mass
struggled up and over each other, tramp
ling under foot those beneath. A uni
versal panic seized the whole of the as
semblage instantly. A terrific rush was
made by those on that part of the floor
not fallen, to escape from the house,
amid the shrioks and groans of those
being trampled under foot. AS soon as
possible relief was afforded Many wo-
men were taken out of the church in
sensible, some with broken limbs and
otherwise injured. How many were
actually dead Or died subsequently, or
how many were seriously injured, it was
impossible to learn, as numbers were
carried home by friends and acquaint-
ances. One man, Lawrence Murray,
was taken out dead; also, Mrs. Mary
Carlin, Mrs. Bridget Langdou and Mrs.
Margaret IIennessy.
New HAMPsHIRE ELECTION. of
the more stupid sort Of Know nothing
organs are boasting over the election in
New Hampshire, and describing it as a
total rout of the Democracy-as sweep
ing the entire State, &c. Now, we sun
! pose that every intelligent man knows
that the State Of New Hampshire has
for years been exclusively in the hands
of tho Hale Abolition party, which re-
suit was brought about by the union Of
the Know-nothing faction with that see
tional organization. At the recent cleo
ton, which these would-be deceivcrs are
growing over, there has been very con
siderable gaia to the Democracy, instead
of falling off. We received this NOR
ming the New Hampshire Patriot extra,
giving the returns from all but % towns,
which foot up-Cate, Democrat, 81, 1924

Upon the whole, the gallant nemocrac,
