The Disastrous Collapse Of Nixon Bros.'
building in Philadelphia.

building in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17-As the result
Of the collapse of the four-story brick
building at 517 Commerce street, occu-
pied by the Nixon Bros Paper company,
early last night, three men are dead, an d
one is badly injured. Three escaped un-
injured from the building. The dead are'
JoHN McKENNA, packer.
JOSEPH WALLACE, packer.
ALBERT w. MARKER, foreman.
Albert Gales, colored porter, injured
internally.
The collapsed building was four stories
high, 80 feet front on Commerce street,
by 1856 feet in depth. The three upper
floors were stored full Of paper bags.
In the Office in the rear OF the building
on the ground floor w. II. Nixon, the
head Of the company, Samuel Bayles, the
treasurer, and &. S. Forsythe. agent for
the Wilkinson automatic stoker were
seated talking shortly before 6 o'clock.
Gales, AcKenna, Wallace, and Marker
were working further down towards the
doors
An ominous cracking OF splinterinR
joists WAS heard, and then with terrible
suddenness the whole upper part OF the
building came down with a rush upon
the men on the first floor.
Gales was nearest the front door and as
the falling plaster began to rattle about
his head he made rush for the street.
just as he reached the pavement the
front wall fell upon him burying him out
of sight
He was dug out by the hremeD and
was found to have been fortunate enough
to have escaped with serious but not
fatal internal injuries.
When the building began TO cave in
McKenns, Marker and Wallace ran TO
window in the rear Of the store. The
first two reached it but the tons Of bricks,
joists aud paper fell upon them just as
they were about to jump out aud crushed
the life out Of them.
Wallace was caught further back and
his body was not recovered until early
this morning.
The three men in the office escaped un-
injured, as the debris fell further front
towards the street than towards the ex-
treme rear. They were effectually walled
in, however, by the ruins, and were as
sisted out by the police and fremen when
they arrived on the scene.
The cause Of the collapse Of the build
ing was probably the weight OF paper
stored in the upper floors, although Mr..
Nixon claims that the stock piled up
there was not nearly so great as il has
been on many other occasions.
The building is II total ruin and will
have to be entirely rebuilt. The loss is
about $50, 600.

oa<dinal ParocohI Proposes n Grand New
Church mt Rome.
ROM, Jan. 17.-Cardinal Parocchi has
submitted TO the Pope plan for adding
another to the many vast Catholic edi6oss
of the country. The Cardinals plan is
for the erection on the Monte Vaniculs a
church with a cupola equal in size aud
effect to that Of st. Peters the cost of
which is to be betrayed by contributions
of the Catholics throughout the world
Round the sacred edldce it is proposed
to group the ecclesiastical colleges Of tho
different countries that are now situated
in Rome.
The further consideration OF the pro-
posal will be submitted to commits
sion OF Cardinals.
The estimated cost of carrying out the
idea is about so, 0OO, 900, and it is calcu-
lated that its construction would give
employment to $4,000 workmsn for
six years.
More than 300 associations for receiving
the gifts made to the Holy Father on his
episcopal jubilee have been constituted in
various countries, and in Italy there are
about 80 committees that receive funds,
part of which serve for the Obolo and
part for the purchase Of presents to the
Pope. Other committees will be formed,
and there will be at least one for every
diocese
1t is thought that the offerings will ex-
ceed those made on the sacerdotal jubilee
which yielded more than forty millions
lire in money, and about hundred mill
lion objects for presents
The English pilgrimage to Rome which
the Duke of Norfolk has organized in
connection with the forthcoming jubilee
of Leo XIII. will include many persons
of influence and high position who have
not heretofore been prominent in under
takings of this nature
The Duke will be accompanied by the
heads of almost all, If not quite ALL the
religious houses which have base of OPP
erations in Great Britain and Ireland,
and by many ecclesiastics who occupy u
large space in the public eye.
All the principal Catholic families in
the United Kingdom will be represented
in the pilgrimage.
What is even more noteworthy is the
fact that the pilgrims will not be Roman
Catholics only, but will number several
High Churchmen and Ritualists.

MR. HAYES NERYlLL
The Ex- President is Suffering from Nsu-
ralgia of the Heart

EAikih ol Ane hehFts
Fremont, Ill, Jan. 1.-THE informa-
tion has just been obtained that ex Presi-
dent Rutherford B. Hayes has had an at
tack Of neuralgia Of the heart, aud
although his condition has slightly i'm
proved, he is still very sick man.
Ex-President Hayes left home last Mon
day on trip TO Columbus, Buffalo and
Cleveland. At the last named place he
spent a few days with his son Webb s.
Hayes.
During the last month the ex- President
had complained Of one or two slight at
tacks of neuralgia of the heart but M
they soon passed away he thought moth
ing Of it, On Saturday he experienced a
severe recurrence OF the malady, but,
being prepared for his return home, pro-
oeed on his Journey accompanied by his
son Webb
Quietness prevails at the Hayes man
sion, and tho only information that can
be obtained is such as the physician in
attendance gives out.
In speaking with the relatives and i'm
mediate friends, they state that the Gen
eral is not seriously sick and that no will
be cut again in a few days
The news that the ex-President has
been i'll, and that his illness has been of a
serious nature, will be received with sur
prise, not only by the outside world but
by the people Of this city. The sickness
of the General has been attended with
such quietness that very little attention
was paid to the announcement that he
was under the weather, and it was be-
lieved that he was merely suffering from
a severe cold.
