TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT AN IRISH WAKE
4 terrible accident, says a letter from Dub
lin Of the 7th instant, occurred last night at
a wake" in Little Strand street, dark
and narrow thoroughfare which runs paral-
lei with the line of quays near Essex bridge.
A party OF between twenty and thirty
persons were assembled in room OF the
second floor Of ali old, dilapidated house to
express sympathy with Edward Kelly, a
quay porter, the afflicted father Of an infant
two months old, who died yesterday.
The company were revealing accord
ing to the barbarolls custom OF the
lower classes, which they cannot be per-
suaded to abandon, when the floor gave way,
and they were all precipitated to the base
mcnt, with the contents OF the room, IN an
undstinguiShable heap. A scene OF great
confusion and alarm ensued. The greater
number were able to eXtricate themselves
from the ruins, and assisted in getting out
their comradeS-a task rendered more din.
cult by the excitement and pressure Of &
crowd which collected in the narrow and ILL
lighted space. In about quarter of an hour
all were rescued, but six persons were found
to have received serious injury, and two OF
them, who have been removed to the hospital,
were not expected TO survive. 10 add TO the
alarm excited by the accident fire broke
out in the ruins, but it was promptly extln'
guished by the eXertions OF the Fire Brl-
cade. The occupants Of the upper part OF
the house expected to share the fate OF
those below, and woman threw her
child out Of the window, but it was caught
in the arms Of staWart man in the
crowd, and escaped unhurt. With the help
of the police the inmates were all removed
from the house: There are six persons In
the hospital. The Roman Catholic clergy
have endeavored by every means to put an
end to the practice of holding "wakes,D

FALL OF AN AEROLiTE IN CAIRO, ILL.,
From the Chicago Inter- Ocean, August
IS.l-CairO experienced q real sensation Sat-
urday morning, and we shall probably hear
more Of il. The sensation came in the shape
OF an aerolite or meteor, and according to
the description, one Of the largest, brightest,
and most remarkable ever witnessed. 1t is
described as appearing in the northern sky,
OF Il size apparently as large as the moon, and
as GaZziingly bright as the sun, and moving
toward the horizon with lightning rapidly.
When seemingly near the earth it exploded
with terrific force, frightening people out Of
their beds and shaking the houses like an
earthquake. Search is being made for some
Of The fragments, which will probably be
found not far distant.
There are many accounts given Of the
falling of these strange bodies. and though
usually the phenomena take place without
serious results, there are instances on record
where the contrary has been the case.
During shower Of aCrolites in SaXony in
early times, great many persons were
killed and thirty.G tive villages were set on
tire. The largest specimens of these stones
found on earth were discovered by the Swe-
dish >Arlic expedition, in 1871, on the west
coast Of Greenland. One OF these, which
was brought to Stockholm, weighs twenty
five tons. The Smithsonian Institution at
Washington contains some foe specimens,
many OF them found in Mexico, but the
largest of them weighs but 1,400 pounds.
Accounts 20 to show that the meteor seen
ut Cairo will take rank amoug the most in
tereSting which have been witnessed. In
1918 one We seen in England, stunning with
the light of the sun, and descending Verti-
calIy, Kissing sound accompanying it, while
a great trembling Of the earth was felt. One
was also seen in 17l9 in London. The stars
disappeared in its brilliant light, and the
moon paled SO as 10 be scarcely visible. 1t
moved very rapidly, and finally burst with q
loud explosion on the opposite coast OF
Brittany. 4 meteor was seen in 1919 at
Danvers, Mass, and at Baltimore, the diane
ter of which appeared to be half mile.
Two minutes alter Its disappearance IL rum
bling noise was heard, which lasted some
thing longer than minute.
