TAKING A TUMBLE.

Half. Ton Stone Falls From n Smifhfield
Church-Almost n Panic Among By.
srnnders-BuiIding Inspectors TO Ascer.
tnfn at Once ifthe Structure is Safe.
About 4:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon a
piece of the stone cornice on the United
Evangelical Protestant Church fell from
the Smlthfeld street front about 80 feet to
the pavement, rebounding and landing at
the curbstone. Officer oliver Peoples, who
had just passed the building, heard the
crash and an agonized scream. and turned
in time to catch a woman with a
child in her arms who had just
barely escaped being crushed by the
falling mass, which weighed over half ton.
A crowd OF some 500 people collected in
few moments at the scene of the accident, and
the general topic of conversation for a long
time was the dangerous condition of the
building which has been canvassed by
people passing for fully ten years. The
cracks in the building, heretofore mentioned
in reports On the subject, were pointed out
and the possibility OF immediate danger to
pedestrians made the subject of inquiry.
Captain j. A. A. Brown, Assistant Build
ing Inspector, last night examined the
structure, and found another stone in a
rather precarious position. He had serious
intentions OF ropine off the sidewalk last
night, but decided to make superficial ex-
animation of the church building to-day,
and a thorough one tomorrow, to decide
whether the edifce is safe or not.
1t will be remembered that some ten years
ago scare existed with regard to the sta
bility of the building, which is borne out
now by yesterdays occurrence, to some ex-
tent.
Ex-Building Inspector Martin G.. Frank
said last night: 'I remember we'll when
that church was being built. The exterior
was faced with stone, tool dressed, and
looked very pretty, but the stone was laid
in rather peculiar shape. 1t showed upon
the inside stone eight inches deep, resting
upon another 16 inches, and that in turn
laying upon a 10-inch stone. 1t looked
very pretty in front, but when
it was filed in with loose rubble
at the back, how could you expect anything
else than settling which might result in
different kind of settling by the insurance
You can remember when this
oubject was brought up some ten or more
years ago, and the tower was never COM
pleted on that account, in accordance with
the original plans. If The backing had
been of brick and mortar. which would
have settled and solidified the building, no
such accidents as that OF to-day would have
occurred. I am in accordance with the
present building inspectors in regarding the
building as unsafe"

To Delight the Attendants of Sc. marJ's
Church, of Shnrp,burg.
The congregation of st. Mary's Church,
sharpsburg,is is in great jubilation over itsnew
organ. The instrument was built by the
Wirshing Organ Company and purchased
by Father Schwab for St. Mary's Church at
a cost of $, 500. The bellows are operated
by water motor, and the instrument con-
tains 3 keyboards and 40 stops. All the
lateset Improvements in organ building
have been introduced and the tone is re-
markably fine.
The instruments outward appearance is
handsome. The front pipes are artistically
decorated, and there is 16-foot fronting Of
fine oak. 1t is 80 feet high and 20 deep.
Mr.. c. S. Beck, organist of st. Mary's. said
that the Wirshing Company had suffered
much of late from aspersions thrown on the
powers of their organs. His experience,
however, in this case was that the Wrish-
ing organ is the very best. DIR. Graf, Pro-
fessor of Music in the new Catholic Uni
versity at Washington, has tried the st.
Mary's instrument and pronounced it ex-

ting His Daughter in the Mouth.

Thomas Daily, of Twenty-third street, had
hearing yesterday before Alderman War
ner for cruelty beating his 14-year-old daugh-
ter, Mary Daily. M. j. Dean was the prose-
cutor. Mr.. DAILY was found guilty and
sentenced to pay fine of $40 and costs. The
main witness in the case was Mrs. John
ston, who lived next door to the DAILY fam

also testified to seeing the child wash the
blood off her face after the fight was over.
The child was also put on the stand, and
said her father had hit her twice over the
mouth. No evidence concerning the at

Does His Smoking by Proxy,

Ira Tripp, retired coal operator of Scranton. is one of the few men on record who enjoys the luxury of smok- ing by proxy. Twenty years age his physician told him that smoking was prejudicial to his health, and that he must stop the practice. Although he was a confirmed smoker, he obeyed the doctors injunction. Since then he has never smoked a cigar. At the same time. he has not totally denied himself his chief luxury. To indulge it without disobeying the doctors in junction he employs what might be called his smoking valet. l. is tho duty of this man to smoke a Havana cigar whenever Mr. Tripp feels like indulging in little tobacco dissipa- ton and blow tho smoke ir his em- ployer' face. The latter eagerly in hales the fragrant cloud and then ex, hales it through his nostrils and blow it down through the meshes of lii> long white beard, Mr. Tripp aeclares that he enjoys this second-haudcG smoke as keenly as when he did the pufing himself. He often comes to Philadelphia and never travels with out his smoking companion. -Phila- delphia Press.

The Craze for City Life.

One hundred years ago our leading men, our men of wealth and culture. were nearly all country gentlemen. Now the members of the governing classes live in towns and cities, except in the South, which still continues tc send farmers to the Legislature and tc Congress. But for the South the farmers of the country would be al most unrepresented at Washington We must change the drift Of things i we would see our people enjoy the fullest measure of prosperity and hap piness. This craze for town life Is al wrong. If half of our ambitious young men who are living in a shabby gen. teel way in the professions and in dry goods stores would put their brains and energy into farming our country districts would soon become thiclzly settled, and, with well titled farms, comfortable modern cottages, an6 good roads, life outside of the town. would be in every way superior to tn. mode of existence found within tho walls of our crowded cities. The town do not need an influx of population from the country, but the country needs a lot of town people to take holc of the facms and produce something. We can get along without more law yers and dry-goods clerks, but we neeo moro farmers-we need their prod ucts, their healthy influence, and theil aidin running the Government t.-.at. la-.sa Constitution.
