A HUNDRED INJURED.
Fall OF the Floor of a Church

Over 100 people injured is the record OF an
accident which took place Sunday afternoon
during the ceremonies attending the laying
of the cornerstone of the new ST. Mary's
Polish Catholic church at Reading, Pa.
Previous to the cornerstone laying there
was street parade, participated in by all
the Catholic societies of this city, the knights
of st. John of Lancaster, and visitors from
Wilmington, Del, Lebanon, Shenandoah and
other places. Probably 1000 people gathered
at the site of the church to wit.
ness the ceremonies, about 1000 of whom
were crowded on a temporary floor laid on
the joists and walls Of the edifice, which had
been carried up one story. Archbishop Ryan
of Philadelphia conducted the ceremonies, as
sisted by the priests of three Catholic churches
After the cornerstone had been laid,
Fr Libiche. pastor of the congregation,
arose to speak, and had scarcely commenced
his remarks when the newly constructed walls
gave way and one-fourth Of the floor fell with
an awful crash, precipitating 200 people to
the ground, distance of from Is to IL feet.
Men, women and children were thrown into
n confused mass, with joists, brick, stone
and mortar on top of them. The excitement
was intense, but willing hands at once begun
the work of extricating the unfortunates,
many of whom had to be carried and placed
in neighboring houses, where their
injuries were attended to, and they were
then removed to their homes or to the hos
pital 1t was fully two hours before the
wounded were all CARED for. 1t is said that
several children are still missing.

pound, while the glucose costs only
three cents per pound. AS the mixture
contains one-third of glucose, the mix

it told his three children to step on

did. He then dropped cent in the

He then told the largest child to step
off, and as soon as he did the hand
moved back to 113; thus by substract-

weight of the child. In this manner he
also ascertained the respective weights

Metamorphosing Stolen Silver.

Silver stolen in a large city rarely re-
turns to its rightul owner, for the
melting-pot stands in tho way. Ia
Russia, some years ago. large amount
of silver was stolen from an imperial
palace. The silver was not only of
value for its weight of metal, but was
plate of the time of Catherine. The
police followed the plumber closely. Lut
wero not quite so fast as they should
have been. As it was, the silver, con-
verified into chloride OF silver, escaped
their notice, for the Russian detective
could not understand how NOR tar
like looking substance, without metal
lie appearance, was silver. During our
war with Mexico, the Mexicans are said
to have saved great deal of silver by
means of this chemical change. II Ar
