Opposition DemOraIized.
ROME, June 24.-Several have been
arrested for participation in the papal
demonstration on Sunday, and were
sentenced to short imprisonments.
PARIS, June 24.-Vigorous efforts are
being made by the Bonapartists to in
tluence public opinion and turn it to
their own account, which causes much
uneasiness. The party is organizing
committees in every department, es-
tablishing newspaper organs and dis
tributing political documents and petit
tons urging the restoration of the
empire.
1t is probable that the assembly will
successfully reject all constitutional
bills. The republicans manifest joy
over the prospects, believing that a
dissolution will be the inevitable re-
suit.
The conservatives favor either the
postponement of the bills until winter,
as none ofthem can be adopted, or the
Intervention of President Mcmahon by
means of message holding the as
sembly responsible for the failure to de-
fine the powers of the executive.

APPALLING CATASTROPHE.
Tho Floor Of u Church Gives Way
Nineteen Persons Killed and IA Large
N,,,her Seriously Injured,


SYRACUSE, n. v, June 2i,-An mp
pallIng catastrophe occurred here last
night. 4 strawberry festival was be-
ing held at the parlol of the Central
Baptist church when, without warn
ing, the floor gave way, precipitating
the room full into the story below,
The parlor was on the second floor and
the room beneath was also full, The
fire alarm was Immediately given and
the firem en- hurried to the scene.
Some ten thousand people were there
and tremendous excitement prevailed,
Ii is impossible give the particulars.
Probably one hundred persons are
more or less injured, many very seri-
ously.
LArER.--The falling church floor
killed nineteen persons, mostly young
ladies and children. The accident was
caused by giving way of the joists that
supported the floor, The joists ran
from both sides of the room to II
stringer in the middle, which was
supported by iron rods from the roof
The stringer gave way, pulling the
ceiling and the roof down upon the
people and precipitating them into the
room below. The work of recovery
was exceedingly slow, as it had to be
done in the dark, and it was feared
every moment Che walls would fall.

We notice in last weeks DciDocrat that
member of the Ring has found a
subject II is SO seldom that any of the
Ring find subjects except the county funds,
on which they had been feasting for years
past, that they become desperate whenever
they hear the name of any Of the present
efficient county officers. This member
wants information, however, which is an
indication that he is seeking some knowl-
edge with a view TO becoming wise Solo
mon among his gang, and asks ''what it
costs the county to puff the Commissioners
clerk'' for his efficiency. We would state
that, according to the regular rates of
newspaper publishers, the Auditors re-
port, including the Democrat, the costs
will probably reach the enormous" sum
of $3.50, and we presume that the Audi
tors calculate that the money derived from
Ring" tax collectors, whose duplicates
counted short, either ignorantly or design
edly, which Mr.. Gray, the Commissioners
clerk, has recovered for the county, and
which amounts to about 81 $50. will more
than pay the costs. At least there will be
abalance left Of some sixteen hundred and
forty dollars, of which amount the tax
payers were no doubt robbed annua, " while
the Ring party was in power.

S30O00,000. He is getting customs re-

pected. The legalization Of the Si4, 900, 900
reserve will of course increase the public
debt that much, but the sinking fund for
this year may be taken from that. He says
the five million dollars of gold TO be sold
during the present month is the only dis
bursement ofgold to be made by the govern
ment during that time, and this amount
will hardly be felt, as he anticipates heavy
importations. He fayors the government

Hundred Million bill shall become a law,
to suspend the gold sales and commence

APATENT PORTABLE FIRE ESCAPE.

a PATENT PORTABLE FIRE ESCAPE
We find in the Titusville Herald the fol-
lowing description of a valuable invention
"A patent portable fire escape:
1t consists Of 4 simple iron tube nine
inches in length, with a lever attached and
through this tube passes a quarter-inch
rope Of any desired length. The moduS
opcrandj Of working the apparatus is to
tasten one end of the rope TO the inside of
the room, pass it through the tube, and
allow the other end TO drop to the ground.
The lever attached to tie tube, together
with the tube itself, is held in the hand,
and by the slightest pressure on the lever
the motion downwards is arrested. There
are two belts attached to the tube, one is
evidently intended to sit in and the other
is passed around the back and under the
arms. Everything being in readiness the
operator jumps out Of the window, seated
in the sling and holding on tightly TO the
tube and lever. The descent is rapid or
slow, depending on the pressure exerted
on the lever. 1t is really a most ingenious
contrivance, and weighs only few pounds.

competing with them. Several new lines
