FELL FROM A CHURCH STEEPLE.-
The breaking of a guy-rope which was
being used in raising stone weighing
two tons or more, to the top of the
steeple of St. Johns Roman Catholic
Church, in course of erection in the
Marion section of Jersey City, at noon
Yesterday, resulted in the instant death
of Thomas O'Neill. The shock threw
him from the top of the steeple head
foremost into pile ofbuilding material
hundred feet below, and he was
literally dashed TO pieces. Thomas
Gibbons was also carried away by
clinging to a portion of the broken
rope. He struck the roof and was
caught between its iron beams and fail,
en- stones. He was unconscious when
found, and blood was coming from his
nose, ears and mouth. 1t took half an
hours labor to extricate him. AT
Christ's Hospital, to which he was re.
moved, it was said there is no hope OF
bis recovery.
1t is feared that the steeple and north
wall of the church will have to be torn
down and rebuilt, as the stone in falling
strained the walls and beams to q
dangerous extent.
