An Appalling Disaster az Syracuse
NY.

FALL OF THE FLOOR OF CHURCH PARLoR
WHILE CROWDED WITH PEOPLE.
An appalling catastrophe occurred 1T SYRIA
cuse, y. Y, last night. A strawberry festival
was being held in the psrlor OF the Central
Baptist church, when, without any premoni-
ton, the floor gave way, precipitating the room
full OF people into the story below. The parlor
was on the second floor, and the room under
meath was also full. A Ere alarm was immedi-
ately given, and the fremen hurried to the
scene. Some ten thousand people were there
and tremendous excitement prevailed. Fifteen
dead bodies lad been taken out, and the work
had hardly commenced. Probably one hum
dred persons are more or less injured, many
very seriously.
A later dispatch says: ait IL impossible 20 get
the names Of the injured tonight. Tue excite
ment Is very great. The scene in the streets
around the church battles description. Thou
sands are gathered there asking for their
friends, waiting for the dead aud attending %
the injured. The entire police and fire DEPART
ment OF the city we're called out, and took
charge OF the work OF recovering the dead and
wounded. The broken timbers were hOisted IN
with difficulty. The walls OF the church did not
fall In, but are seriously damaged. The church
Is comparatively new one. A few minutes
before the floor gave way it trembled 30 that
many persons left the room fearing accident,
which had been predicted by many.
The accident was caused by the giving way OF
the joist that supported the floor. The joist ran
nom both sides Of the room 70 q cross stringer,
the middle Of which was supported by iron rods
from the roof. The stringer gave way, pulling
the ceiling and roof down upon the people, aud
preciptsting them into the room below. The
work OF recovery Was very slow, a. ID had % be
done In the dark. and it was feared every mo-
ment that the walls would fall in"

effect that Sam Mcdonald was the guilty man.
The evidence Was very direct against McDon-

OF the grand jury. States Attorney Knott
seemed disposed 20 cess the case at once, and
II was understood that IL would be called up be-
fore the grand jury this morning. The wit
nesses who were essential TO the prosecution
were required 70 furnish q heavy bail for their
appearance, and two who could not do 50 were
sent TO jail for safe keeping. The crime caused
intense excitement throughout the city yester-
day on account Of the parties being so well
known. Mcdonald persists IN saying that he
knows nothing OF the affair, aud was not in the
b2r-oCm Of the Sherwood House at the time
when il occurred. A reference 20 the testi-
mony, however, will show that every witness
but one contrsdcts him on this pOint.-Bdls.
