"HIGH CHURCH"
How q Corner stone Was Laid.


CHICAGO, September 29.-It Is considered
almost certain that Rev. Father Richie,
thu extreme fitualistie pssodssf sths Rpis-
copal Church Of the Ascension OF this city,
will be called to account therefor. The
corner stone was laid to-day in high ritual.
istic form. 1t was celebrated with all the
form of the Church OF Rome except that
mass was sung in English instead Of Latin.
Bishop McLaren was not present and at
the laying Of the corner stone Father
Richie referred to the fact in rather curt
terms. He said the absence OF the Bishop
was regretted. The parishioners were
about to lay the corner stone in accordance
with their tenets, and he trusted they
would not swerye from them. Rev. Father
Dorset would solemnize the event. howev-
er, and it was peculiarly fitting that he
should do so, as he was the first rector OF
the parish and was q priest OF the Church,
when the speaker was a student at College,
and when their beloved bsiop had not
emerged from the darkness OF Calvanism.

GALLIPoLIs, O., September "a pecu-
liar accident happened at the railroad in
cline on the river, at the upper end of the
city, yesterday afternoon. The company's
grounds at the incline adjoins the lot on
which stands the residence of DR.. J. A.
Van Week, and are excavated and graded
until they are about four feet lower than
the doctors lot, his residence standing but
a few feet from the line, separated by a
rather heavy picket fence. The house is a
two story frame of five rooms, and rather a
substantial structure. A long train of
heavily loaded freight cars was being back.
ed around the corner of Spruce and Front
streets against the bank between the resi-
dence and the grounds with considerable
force, when the wheels struck the embank-
ment. A car loaded with lime jumped
from the trucks and went on, smashing the
fence and crowding it against the house,
moving the whole structure two feet, cut
ting up the floors, tearing down the CHM
ney and demolishing things generally. Sew
eral members of the family were in the
room next the car, but none were injured,
though some tainted when the timbers
shiyered
