CHURCH FLOOR GIVES AWAY.
Fourteen Persons Killed and Many In
jured.

WHLIAMsPoRT, Pa, Dec, 26.-During. the
services yesterday at the Baptist church at
Newbury in the 18th ward, in this city, the
floor and ceiling gave way, precipitating about
five hundred persons into the cellar Fourteen
persons were killed, and about forty injured,
some seriously.
Later-Last evening the Sabbath School at
tached to the Baptist Church at Newberry, in
the 18th ward in this city, assembled to partic-
pate in the ceremonies of Christmas night
Some three hundred men, women and children
were present. The ceremonies had commenc-
ed. Mr.. Knsloe of this clay was making an
address when the floor gave way, precipltating
the whole assemblage into the cellar below
The church was constructed with upper aud
ence room, and it was in this that the congre-
CATION was assembled. The interior dimensions
of the floor are 26 feet in width and ~ feet
long. There was centre glrth with Jolsts
chickly placed on each side and through the
centre. From above were two bolts connecting
with this main girth. Evidently the weight OF
those assembled sprung the truss bearers and
supports; and slipping out of their place caus ed
the terrible catastrophe This is evident from
the fact that the timbers were not broken.
The gas pipe, two inches in diameter, which
was beneath the centre girth, was bent double
| by the immense weight. When the crush came
| there went up a heartrending wall of mangled
humanity Children wildly shreked for their
| parents, and the groans of the wounded and
| dying filled the air. To add to the horror the
| oil lamps of the edifice ignited and bid fair to
destroy all in a.general conflagration.
Those outside worked with will and used
every effort to rescue the living. The church
now was on fire. but provdentlally the tames
could be reached and speedily extinguished.
| Before the floor sank many OF those WITHIN were
able to reach windows and leaped to the ground,
a distance of fifteen feet AT IL o'clock four
were some forty or fifty wounded, many OF
| them seriously: some will probably die.
