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,
FIR. 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 ID to 1S feet.
Men, women and children were thrown into
a confused mass, with josts, 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

the absolute need Cf divorcing municipal
government from party politics. He showed
how republican and democratic politicians

hands it was safe power. The problem was
to select the right man. We had proved Mr..
Hewitt to be one and it would be very risky
to experiment with any untried man SO long
as Mr.. Hewitt was available. ReSo-
lutions embodying the views expressed
in the speeches were adopted. A letter was
read from Rev. Howard Crosby, who was
unable to be present. stating that he had op-
posed Mr.. Hewitt's election two years ago,
but was glad to confess his mistake and to
join in urging his denomination. An inter-
esting incident of the meeting was speech
in favor of Mr.. Hewitt by jackson S.
Schultz, who some time ago had a warm
personal controversy with the mayor ON a
question of administration.
