The Incorporated Funds.


Oue OF the most striking incidents OF
the Congressional sslsry-stesl was the
svidIty with which the charitable.
church, and public enterprises seized
upon the apparent opportunity for grab

Benson, the Secretary Of the Society for
the Com pletion OF the Washington

circular to all the members o. Congress,
requesting contributions. From q few
Of them he received sums varying from
S2j TO 800; from others the answer
that "it was not convenient from me at
Of them no reply whatever. Then Mr..
Benson heard that some OF the members
proposed to give the increase back to
the United States, and ne addressed an
other circular protesting against this
disposition of the ill-gotten money, and
inviting them to weigh the claims Of
the monument against those OF the Gov
eminent. An enterprising Church Com

circular representing that lew per-

An Episcopal church in that neighbor-
nood, and suggests that the surplus steal
should be appropriated to building
churches, and the Marion church in
particular.
Several other letters and circulars Of
ssimilsr i'm mport have found their way
into The Treasury Department. They
all torcibly illustrate one idea, and this
is, that public money is regarded as
common iund TO be seized whenever an
opportunity presents itself, and by any.
oodv who gets the first chance at It.
Here is a general desire on the part OF
philanthropists, church people, monu-
neut builders, aud those communities
which lay particular claim to the vlr-
tue OF dl-interestedoess to get their fin

A Terrible Calamity.

IeFTIDIS Satdu1tFys
TRENTON, March 3l.-A terrible Ca
lamity happened at half past 10 o'clock
TO day at St Johns Catholic church
on the occasion OF the funeral Of Rev
Father Macklin. The church was dense
ly crowded and thousands stood out
side. Some twenty officiating clergy were
present, and while the organ was send
ing forth its peals, and the requiem for
the dead was being sung, loud crack.
ing sound was heard, which the audi
ence supposed came from the gallery
and from the general opinion it was
given away, there arose a most fearful
panic at once. A consternation seized
every one in the building and loud
screams from the women and children
took the place of thsorgan peals rush
was made to the door and Immediately
scores of women and children fell and
were trampled beneath the feet of the
masees OF human beings who became
wedsed in between the front gate and
the door.
There the mass stood, stubborn and
immovable, the grosns OF those beneath
being fearful to hear. 1t was fully ten
minutes before the work OF making an
opening for The crowd to pass out in the
street wac effected. Stalwart men were
all the time busily engaged in pulling
out women and children. 1t was q
shocking sight to see them as they were
taken out with blackened and bloody
faces. They we're carried to the nearest
residences and as soon as physicians
arrived the extent OF the damage began
to be apparent. In the house two wo
men were prostrated on the f)or in
spasme; also, little boy with disfigured
lace aud broken arm; q little girl
about twelve years OF age was suffering
rom internal Injuries.
At this moment matters quieted down
although a vast crowd filled the street,
brought together by the widest rumors
In the midst Of the excitement, ladders
we're thrown up to the windows and
people and children were taken out
Some OF the windows were broken.
The appeals OF the clergy who had
Jun ped out OF the windows and gone to
rhe troSt door, for the mas to retreat
back into the church, assuring them
them that there was no danger. Tie
noise did hot occur from a defect in the
gallery, but from the breaking OF 8
kueelIng board in the gallery. The
services in the church were resumed.
The following are the names OF the
wounded: Mrs Julia Slingerloud
Maggie Maloney, Bridget Clark, Mis- ,
and Mrs Deshire, Mrs. Benjamin
Stokes aud a boy and girl name un-
known, were badly hurt. Some OF the
wounded are in spasms and in criti
cal condition. None OF them died.
The event produced the greatest con-
sternation throughout the city.
