Melville W. Fuller, the eighth Chief JUS
tice of the United States, has been indicted
into Office with ceremonies fully in keeping
with the dignity and high character of his
new duties. Mr. Fuller swore himself in,
reading the oath in clear voice that could
be heard distinctly in every portion OF the
Supreme Court room.
The narrow space allotted to the general
public in the court chamber was crowded.
Among the persons of note who found places
in the room were Judge Alien G. Thurman.
ChiefJustice Fuller arrived at the Capitol
a little after eleven o'clock The first oath,
that of allegiance, was administered in
private by Justice Miller, the ceremony oc-
curing in the robing room, with no one pres
ent but the Associate Justice 1t is the Gus
tom never to permit any one to witness this
ceremony.
At just twelve o'clock the Deputy Marshal
in a loud voice announced The Honorable
the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court"
The members of the Bar and the public
assembled, arose in their places and
manned standing facing the bench, while the
Justices filed in. Justice Miller was at the
head. Following him were Justices Harlan,
Bradley. Gray, Blatchford and Lamar. Ex-
Justice Strong and Chief Justice Fuller came
in together. The Associate Justices sat in
their places, and Chief Justice Fuller with
ex-Justice Strong, stepped within the railing
enclosing the Clerks desk and took a seat
Justice Miller then announced that since
the last meeting of the Court the President
Melville Weston Fuller Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States; the
clerk would read the commission. After
this was done Chief Justice Fuller stood
up to take the oath of Office, and the
Court and all assembled arose. There had
been some question to who should admin
lister this oath. The new Chief Justice set
tied the matter by administering it to him.
self. The clerk handed him the written
form of oath and little Bible covered with
velvet In a clear vO &c he read the oath as
follows:
81 do solemnly swear that I will admin
lister justice without respect to persons and
do equal right to the poor and to the rich,
and that L will faithfully and impartially
discharge and perform the duties incumbent
on me as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States according to the best of
my ability and understanding, agreeable to
the constitution and law of the United States,
so help me God"
His voice trembled at the last words The
Chief Justice was then escorted behind the
bar, and to his official seat in the centre
Again the Court and the aSSemblage arose,
without other summons than a wave of the
hand by the clerk. Justice Miller took the
hand of the Chief Justice, and with a smile
of welcome, addressed him in a low voice:
L welcome you, sir, on behalf of this
court, of its members and its Chief
Justice"
The Chief-Justice bowed and took his seat,
and when the assemblage was again seated
he said:
In accordance with immemoral usage,
the court will now ad journ in order to enable
its members to pay their respects in body
to the President of the United States"

TRAGEDY IN A CHURCH.
Catastrophe at Pennsylvania
Corner Stone Laying.
The Platform Collapses and Injuries
Scores of People.

The ceremony of laying the corner stone of
a new Polish Catholic church in Reading
Penn, had just been completed, and the Off
ciating priest, Father Leibeeczki, was deliv-
ering the final address, when, at a quarter to
four o'clock, the floor in front of him fell with
a crash, and about 200 men, women and
children were dropped fifteen feet into the
basement. Upon the struggling wounded
fell the wreckage of joists and planks and a
section of newly built sbrick wall about
twenty feet square.
Archbishop Ryan, Of Philadelphia, who
stood in safety a short distance from
the fallen floor. looked down in horror upon
the scene. Mayor Kenny, of Reading, went
down with the unfortunates, and was one of
the first to be taken out with a slightly in
jured leg. Women and children screamed
with pam or fright Some of them were
ruthleSSly trampied under foot by men who
made haste to free themselves, but in many
instances tile stronger sought safety for their
weaker companions first and themselves
after ward.
-sembled outside of the building, rushed in to
help the wounded. A reporter stood beside
Archbishop Ryan and assisted him in lifting
out several women and children. A half
dozen of the members of the Germania band
were III the struggling mass, their silver in
struments being knocked about in lively
fashion Two Polish women were taken out
in dying condition. Two babes were hand
ed up next. One had bitten off its tongue.
An alarm brought the two city ambulances.
They were quickly filed with grooming men
and women who had their legs, arms, or
backs broken. Neighboring bakers and
butchers htched up their teams, filled their
wagons with bedding, and with these i'm
prOvsed ambulances assisted in the removal
of the injured. Private residences were con-
verified into hospitals and in some Instances
six patients were received in a single house.
All the physicians in the city were promptly
in attendance, and everything possible was
done for the relief of the suffers. Very
touching scenes were witnessed among the
thousands who had rushed to the church in
search of friends and relatives.
The list of the seriously injured numbered
ninety. Among the injured were ten men
from Lancaster, Penn, who came with the
knights Of St John and participated in the
parade prior to the service.
At least half a dozen of the victims were
fatally INJURED.
Men who have examined the wrecked
structure report that the planking, instead
of overlapping the Orders, had been NOR
tised in about hat an inch on each side.
The heavy weight on the floor bore the planks
down until the ends slipped from their sup
ports.
The wood used in the platform was only
common pine, and some OF it old and rotten.
Authorities in such matters say that it
was actually not strong enough to hold one
fourth of the people that crowded upon it.
OF the injured twenty three had their legs,
fOurt their arms and seven their spineS
broken.

a JAR OF ROSE LEAVES.

Myriad roses fade unheedsd.
Yet no note OF grief is needed;
When the ruder breszss tear thouu.
Sung or songleSs, we can spare thsxn.
But the choicest petals are
Shrined in some deep orient Jar,
Rich without and sweet within,
Where we cast the rose leaves in
Life has jars OF costlier price
Framed to hold our memories
There We treasure baby smiles,
Boyish exploits, girlish wiles,
All that made our childish DAYS
Sweeter than these trodden ways
Whers the fates our fortunes spin,
Memory, toss the rose leaves in
What the jar holds, that shall stay;
Time steals all the rest away
Cast in loves first stolen word;
Bliss when uttered, bliss when heard;
haiden's locks of shy surprise;
Chances from = hero's eyes:
Palms we risked our souls TO win;
Memory, fling the rose leaves inl
Now more sombre and more slow
Let the incarnation grow!
Cast in shreds Of rupture brief,
Subtle links 'twiIt hope and grief;
Vagrant fancy's dangerous toys;
Covert dreams, narcotic joys
Favored with the taste Of sin:
Memory, pour the rose leaves inI
Quit that borderland OF pain!
Cast in thoughts Of nobler vein,
Magic gifts of human breath,
Mysteries of birth and death,
What if all this web OF change
But prepare for scenes more strange;
If to die be TO beSinl
Memory, heap the rose leaves inl

was drunk. MIR. Richter had also been
drinking, and it is supposed that the farmer
may have gone to sleep While smoking and
