 Yesterday morning between 10 and
 Il o'clock. as the congregation B'nai
 Emounoh, of which the Rev. Aaron
 Levy is Rabbi and Mr. L. N. Brown
 President. were holding Tom Kippur services in Druid's Hall, an occurrence
 utterly destroyed the harmony of the
 occasion and caused a sudden ending
 of the services. George Wilson, an
 employe of the Thomsen-Houston
 Electric Light Company, S53 North Third street, was engaged in laying some electric light wires above the hall in which the congregation was assembled, when. making a false step, he missed the joist and burst through the ceiling, breaking the lathipg and causing the plastering to fall into the hall in a perfect shower, the greater part of the debris descending upon the Rabbi and almost covering him. The audiences of this totally unlocked for descension startled the eongrega- ton, which rose to it's feet in the wild est alarm, the woman shrieking with fear, and the men paling with suppressed excitement. The scene which followed was beyond descrip- ton, particularly when the audience, locking upward, saw Wilson's lower limbs moving wildly to and fro as he made frantic efforts to extracate him. self.from his embarrassing position.

As he came down stairs he was spisd by several members of the con- gregation, who at once cried out against him, and elamored for his cap ture. 4 dozen or more of the women ! bounced upon him. it is said. and were proceeding to punish him, when, mak- ing one grand efc-t fer safety, he broke away and fled down stairs. finally gainiag the street breathless .hatIess and in state of mental col lapse. Ths congregation appealed to the police, and word was sent from the ! Four Courts to arrest Wilson if found, but up to an early hour this morning be had not been apprehended Wheth- 1 CT he stopped running uptil he had ] left the city limits behind him was a subject of conjecture with Sergeant l Clark, who arrived on the scene few ! minutes after tue fugitive had made ! his exit. Officer O'Conner was placed ! on duty at the hall, but no further disturbance occurred.
 President Brown said he was con- yinced that Wilson came through the ceiling purposely, and that he was hired to do SO in order to disturb the service and break 1t up. He further said that the congregation had separa- ted lately, the other branch, Sheerith l Isreal. being located on Franklin ave- nue, and that t was responsible for the interruption Inquiry at the of- | 6ce of the Ihomson-Houston Electric <.

They be- ] lieved the occurrence to be purely an accident, for which the unfortunate workman was in no way responsible.
