A FALL IN PLASTER.
The Ceiling of Free Street Church
Dropped Yesterday.

What Must Prove a Heavy Loss-The Fur
ring Drops Leaving the Naked Beams
Pews Injured-Chairs Smashed-Organ
Damaged.
Tuesday evening Mr.. Muller. the sexton
of Free st. Baptist church. noticed that
the plastering in the northwest corner
of the ceiling of the church had partially
given away, a smalls~s place perhaps the
width of two hands notwithstanding
fallen. He notified Mr.. Manning, the
chairman of the prudential committee,
yesterday morning, and about ten
o'clock both Mr.. Manning and Mr.. Muller
were at the church examining the
break. Mr.. Manning noticed at the time
that the lathing appeared to be pulled
away at the place where the plaster had
fallen.
Mr.. Manning sent over to Mr.. jackson IS
the plasterer's at once, for men to come
and repair the mischief. In the mean
time Mr.. Manning went into the vestry
to look about, and Mr.. Muller went into
the gallery. A few moments later there
was a terrific crash. About five-sixths
of the whole ceiling fell without mo-
ment's warning, and brought with it
the entire Turing of the ceiling, leaving
the bare beams all exposed above. The
Turing fell on the backs of the pews,
crushing MANY of them, and lies, like a
gigantic harrow. with the nails. like SO
many teeth, sticking up. The plaster
filed many of the pews, the carpets were
sodden with it, the reading desk and
choir gallery were knocked into pi. and
the handsome organ, doubtless badly
damaged. What the loss to the society
will be cannot accurately be determined
at present. The church was remodelled
from the old Free street theatre in 1886.
In 1887 the society expended Sc, 500 in a
thorough improving of the church. A
few years ago the church was decorated
and beautlfied at considerabl expense.
and stained glass windows put il. The
organ is valued at $4,000. How badly
it is injured it will take some days to
determine. The loss to the society will
doubtless be several thousand dollars,
and of course there is no insurance for
such an accident
1t is ex tr emely fortunate that the
affair occurred when there were no ser
vices in the church. Tuesday evening
was regular prayer meeting evening, and
the accident occurring when the small
break happened might have been attended
by great loss of life.

TWO DEMENTED WOMEN.
Louise Riley is Not to Appear For Her AS
suit on Father Linehan-The Crazy Girl.

The woman named Louise Riley, OF TINS
city, who was arrested in Rlddeford Tor
bothering Father T. P. Linehan, and
brought to,thts city, Tuesday, was yester-
day examined by City Physician Nickerson,
who adjudged that she was more in need OF
medical care than legal restaint, and she
was therefore given into the charge of her
sister and her husband, who reside in this
city.
She is small woman, and when brought
into the police station, Tuesday night, was
dressed in black and closely yelled. Her
manner was very animated. She spoke in
most business-like way of her arrest. with
out the least embarrassment, and is
evidently in at least peculiar mental con-
dition.
There is another Portland woman who
has been acting in a strange way of late.
She is a tall young girl named Conley. and
has been creating SO much trouble on the
street that an officer would have arrested
her the other day. but concluded that she
was dementedsand that the case must be
considered by the city physician. Yester-
day she went out to the cemetery in Deer
ing and created SO much disturbance that
Superintendent Floyd caused her to be re-
moved. Coming in on the car she gave the
conductor her pocketbook for fare. She
has been running into people on the side
walk, and then walking away without say
ing word, and doing similar strange
actions.
