Church Window Fell In.

The handsome colored plate glass
double-arched window that almost
filed the gable end of the second
story of the Giddings' Memorial
Methodist Episcopal church at the
front end, tumbled out, casing, sash
and all, together with a lot of brick
around it, at 10 o'clock Friday
morning, falling on the inside with
a crash that was heard for some dis
lance. The window fell into the
choir, broke, and part of it tumbled
down into the church, breaking
a couple of chars and SCATTERING a
wall lamp scattering the oil over the
carpet. The window cost in Chica-
go some where in the neighborhood
of S125.0O, beside the freight and
cost OF putting it in, which together
with the damage will run the dam
age up to within the neighborhood
of S25OO0. The putting of it in
was evidently mighty poor job.
