FOURTEEN PERSONS KI1LED AND TWO HUNDRED
NJURKp.
SYRACUSE, N. Y =, June 23-An appalling CO.
tastrophe occurred here tonight A straw berry
festival was being held in the parlor OF the Cen
tral Baptist Church, when without any warning
the floor gave way, precipitating room full into
the story below. The paror was on the second
floor. and the roou underneath was also iull OF
people.
An alarm OF fire was at once given, and the
6remen hurried to the scene, and over 10 900 peo-
pie were there, and tremendous excitement pre-
vailed. 1t is impossible to give any particulars
al this hour. Five dead bodies have been taken
out and the work has hardly commenced. Prob
ably 100 persons are more pr less injured, many
of Them very seriously.
Ex-Alderman Austin Barnes is Sc riously hurt
Rev. DR.. II. Eddy is slightly hurt. 1t Is impos-
sible to procure the names OF the aired to- night
The scene in the streets around the church battles
description. Thousands are gathered there ask
ing after friends, waiting for the dead or attend
ing 10 the ipj lred.
The entire police and fro department of the
city was called out, and took charge Of the work
of recovering the dead and wounded. Ths walls
of the church did not tall In but are seriously
damaged. The church is comparatively q new
tremhled so that many persons left the room
fearing an accident, which had been predicted by
many.
The accident was caused by the giving way o.
joist that supported the floor. The joist ran
from both sides of the room, across stringer, the
middle OF hich was supported by iron rods from
the ROOT. The stringer gave way, pulling the
strinGer and roof down upon the people and pre-
cipitating them into the room below.

Philadelphia Railroad. In iis fsvo-, s.so,
IN preference TO Summit Heights, !: is three
miles nearer Wilmington, and also within
the bounds Of the Wilmington Conference,
which is great inducement We are GER
tainly under obligation first TO our own.
Summit Heights is considerably farther OF;
1t Is nesr another camp of the Philadelphia
Conference, and we supposed when the
Chester Heights was established the sum-
NIT Camp would cease. The latter may
have good station and trees and SO forth,
but others say it is not superior TO this new
ground. This new grove is much more
roomy. The trees are young and no danger
Of falling in storm is near enough Whining
ton to ride or walk, and we can more likely
get out more of the population Of our city to
il, and thereby be of more benefit to our
fellow.citizens, and afford a summer resort
at home, to those not able TO 60 any farther
abroad. 1t may be true, summit Heights
has been very enjoyable and profitable 10
some, but we are to look to others as well
as ourselves, and not attach holiness to any
particular spot, but rejoice that the time has
come, and now is, when the Great Father is
not to be worshipped exclusively in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, bu.
wherever we seek him be is found,
And every place is Holy Ground"
Preparation Is going on Of this new ground,
and next week the Camp Meeting Commit
tee of this city, will make q report as to the
relation they will sustain to it. It is said TO
be capable Of great improvement, has line
springs and water privileges,and surround
