AT the close of the morning exercis-
es at the Union church, Sunday, as the
audience were e~ndeavoring to leave the
house, as it wa raining very hard at
that time, those nearest the outside did
not seem to clear the way, consequent
ly the lobby was completely crowded,
and the floor suddenly gave away with
a crash. As the partition between
the lobby and church, that helps sup
port the gallery, was left without any
support, 1t was some expected that the
gallery would come down upon the OK
cited crowd, who supposed that many
were overhead at the time, but provi-
dentially none were badly injured, but
a few were very much frightened. The
exercises of the day were adjourned to
the NJ. +. church.
