FLOOR GIVES Way
Men, Women and Children Go
Down With Crash.
ONE WAS KILLED OUTRIGHT
Ten Are Fatally Injured. and Between n
Thirty and Forty Others Are
Badly Hurt.

Lorain, Ohio, Oct 6.-While a grea
crowd of people were assembled this af
ternoon to witness the laying of thu
corner stone of the new ST. Marys ca
thedral, the temporary floor on which
many of the people were standing, gave
way, precipitating many men, womer
and children into the basement.
One was killed outright, 10 fatally
injured and between 80 and 40 others
were badly hurt.
The services were just about to be-
gin when the accident happened. Fully
300 people were assembled on and
around the platform, which had been
constructed across the foundation OF
the edifice. The boards forming the
temporary floor had heen laid across
joists which were supported in the
middle by upright posts. These sup
ports broke and the floor went down
with q crash.
Fully 300 persons were thrown into
the pit formed by the sagging in the
middle of the floor.
For moment everybody was para
lyzed by the calamity, but soon there
was a rush forward by those willing
to lend assistance to the crushed and
struggling people.
This made matters worse, for fifty or
more persons were crowded forward
into the hole upon those who went
down with the floor
When the confusion had subsided
somewhat many of those who were able
to extricate themselves did so by walk
ing or crawling over the less fortunate.
The work of rescue was begun at
once and all were finally taken from
the pit. Following is list of the killed
and fatally wounded:
Mary Webber, 3 years old, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Webber of Shelf
field, was killed.
Rose MCGEE, skull fractured
Katie Griffin, years old, hurt inter
nally.
Mrs. Mary McGrath, left leg crushed.
Mrs. John Eustin, left leg crushed.
Mrs. Cornelius Sullivan, spine in
jured.
Mary Gaiber, severely crushed.
Mrs. M. Kelly, injured internally.
Mrs. Kate Diedrick, both legs broken.
John Edcamp, hurt internally.
Mrs. Margaret MacKert, hurt inter
nally.
Those badly injured but who will re-
cover are:
Nellie Dollard, head cut; Nicholas
Wagner, skull fractured; Lee Hobald,
cut on head; Colonel W. 1. Brown, leg
and arm bruised; Mrs. John Fox, both
legs broken Mrs. William Du Furgett,
hurt internally; Mrs. Mary Latimer,
right leg crushed; Mrs. Jacob Keefer,
hurt internally and leg will have to be
amputated; John Martin, leg broken
many others were severely bruised.
The old Catholic church was at once
turned into hospital. A score of doc
tors were called and they were kept
busy for hours caring for the injured,
several of whom will die before morn
ing.
The accident was due to defective
timbers. The contractor was told yes
terday that the platform was insecure,
but he said it would hold all the peo-
pie that could be crowded upon It.
There were between 1900 and 1000 people
on it when it gave way.
Despite the accident the services were
continued and the laying of the corner
stone completed.

Seattle. Oct. 6.-The statement was
made here this evening that General
Counsel William Nelson Cromwell's res
lgnation has been demanded by Receivers
McHenry and Bigelow and that he will
step down and out within 80 days.

Adams faction, and this would tend to
make his services undesirable.
