that the bolt-head of the 5,OOO-pound
bell in the First Presbyterian Church
was broken completely off, and the great

condition of things had existed over
sunday, and as the bell was directly over
the Vestlbule its fall might have caused
many deaths. The only thing that pre-
vented the fall was the fact that the bell
was struck instead of swung on the Sab
