A "srArE OFFICIAL sMAsHGs THE SLATE "A LIVE
LY now IN BALLOON,
For the following interesting item We are
obliged to be indebted to the Gaz1t!e, their supe-
rior opportunity for reporting occurrences in tho
beer saloons giving our contemporaries some
advantage over Ills when " first class sensations
occur therein -
A iirstclass sensation was created about i've
o'clock ON Wednesday evening in Geo. Baeren-
bach's lager beer saloon on King street, Ielew
Third.
The eensaton was occasioned by row, aud
although rows are ordinary occurrences, this
particular one occasioned much comment as well
as excitement, on account of the clrcum-
stances connected with ii, and because it pre-
sentod the curious anomaly of an officer OF the
State whose duty it is to prosecute law breakers,
taking leading and conspicuous part IN phr-
room brawl
The proprietor Of the saloon gave a Gdsete
reporter full account of the affair, which is IN
substance as follows
While peacefully following the avocation OF
hs life and indulging III a friendly gsme OF eu-
chrc with come friends, tho door OF his saloon
was pushed open, and in came q weli'known
officer OF the State accompanied by friend
Tic State official calle for drinks inviting all
in the room TO partake, and ''set EN- up ION
ticli) several times, until the proprietor thought
that enough foamy lager had been dispensed
without receiving the legal equivalent therefor,
and refused further credit. He courteously re-
tluehted tno Ollcldl 10 30 uoino anu SSho uASA
again in the morning, when he would treat hira.
But this insult to the dignity Of the State WAS
not to b born, and whipping out his revolver,
the State official declared his ability to ''shoot
any Dutch sun of b-h in the ROOM" In en-
phasizing this remark ho advanced to the table
where tile proprietor and his friends were play
ing euchre, and brought the butt of his pistol
down upon the slate on which they were keeping
score breaking it in pieces. This dangerous ac'
ton increased the excitement and created a
stampede. .,.--..-..
mime Got" said B4erenbach, at this portion
Of his narrative, "Mr. Hiizel lie shumps up and
goes out dere (poin,ing to the door leading into
the yard) AIr. G:ndcr he goes out in de kitchen
aud anodder man he flies up etairs."
AT this interesting period Baerenbach seized
the State official aud captured his revolver when
his companion wrestled with Mr.. u, and tore
his shirt. Tie boariers were then summoned,
aud with their assistance the two beliigerents
were hus tied in tic street. They again returned
to the saloon when more peaceful measures
were resortcd to. The revolver was handed
| over TO a friend of the State official and after
| some persuasion both the men departed, leaving
| tie neighborhood to its wanted quiet.

ohrouicled, are Deputy Attorney VIM.

FALLING WAIL-sAD ENDING OF A LENTEN hLB-
VICE.
From 10 lays SCw York Times
In the midst OF the storm last evening, ter
rlbe calamity occurred at St Andrews Roman
Catholic Church, corner Of Duane street and Ci-
ty Hail place, caused by the fall Of portion of
the wall OF the adjoining building on the roof of
the church, crushing 1t iii and killing and wound
ing large number of people. The catastrophe
occurred while the leuten services were being
conducted, and while the church WAS crowded
with worshipers. During the Lenten season ST.
Andrews Church, which is situated in the mldst
of a very popular parish, is open for divine SER
vice on every Thursday evening. Last evening
the usual feryces took place, and the church
contained a congregation of upward Of 1200
people. The majority wero women and chill
dren.
Father CuIan was preaching, when
sUDDEELY LOW, HuMBLINo SOUND,
unusual in its character, and premonitory of
some coming disaster, was distinctly heard. The
preacher. startled by the strange sound, paused
in the middle Of a word, and the congregation
listened attentively for an explanation. Their
suspense was but momentary, for ere second
of time had elapsed portion of the northeast
corner of the roof came crashing in, burying
those of the audience seated in the gallery un-
dor great mass of bricks, plaster and other
rubbish. The congregation at once became
greatly alarmed. They sprang to their feet, and
windows in their terror.
As usual, III such occasions, the panic was un-
controllable. the galleries and stairways were
soon blocked up, and
A BATTLE FOR LITE ESsUED.
The weak, as was to be expected, had to give way
to the strong. and several women and children
who were IN the middle of tho crowd fell at the
foot of the stairs, and were crushed and tram
pied upon by those behind in their efforts to
Save themselves. 1t was at this point, and dur
ing this fierce contest for life, that the majority
Of the killed and wounded received their inju
les.
THE TEREIDLE CALAMITY WAS CAUSED
by the falling OF the wall Of four story build
ing adjoining upon the roof Of the church. 1t
had been burned in January, and was now being
repaired. 1t is supposed that tho wall, weaken
ened by the fire, had become thoroughly impreg-
mated with frost during the recent cold weather.
The heavy rain of yesterday, together with the
warmth OF the weather, drove the frost out of
the wall and still further weakened it, so that
it was unable to resist the gale which sprang up
30 suddenly last evening, and succumbed to the
first violent gust of wind
Five persons were killed and twcn five
wounded by the accident.

Tho Smyrna Times of the 24th, says;
Last week bill was introduced in the Lcgisla-
ture by Representative voshel TO subject fruit
crops to attachment process. They are exempt
from seizure under the existing law.
Tho bill, it is said, was originated
in this town, and its Introduction

its passage. These petitions have been almost
unanimously signed by our taxpayers, but five
withholding their names to one hum
dred who gave their endorsement.
Tho remonstrants represented that to

THE WATER pIpE BIDs.-We cannot, without
great sacrifice of space. print the several bids
which were submitted 10 Council, last night,
for supplying to the city water pipes, fire plugs,
stops, &c. We may ray, however, that in tho
acceptance of the lowest there will be reduc
ton in cost to the city of several thousand dol
lars from tie time of last purchase.
For instance III water pipe alone,
the contract price in 1874 was $5l II per ton,
but in November of the same year the samo ma
teral could be bought for S42 80 per ton. Tho
lowest bid for pipe, last night, I'VE are Informed,
was made by Jno. McNeal & Son at S36 96 per
ron, and it il estimated that in the acceptance of
this bid there will be a reduction in puce from
last year in the aggregate amount to ho pur-
chased (about $50, 600 worth) of about $4,000.
