in the Department of fMaine-et-Loire, France.
The accident was due to the collapse ofthe
village church, in which mass was being
celebrated. Tho structure was comfortably
filed. most OF the worshipers being women
and children. Suddenly, and with very little
warning, the walls began to sway, and before
all the Congregation could get outside. they
fell. The roof descended upon the struggling
throng beneath, and 1t e surprising that no
more than eight persons were killed. The
work OF removing the dead and rescuing the
injured was promptly commenced by the
villagers, who were aided by peasants and
others from the country roundabout. The
condition OF some OF the injured was so ser-
Gus that 1t was feared they would die.

Message From the President on the Colora.
do Lynchlngs. .,.
The President has sent to Congress mes.
sage and accompanying correspondence re-
lating to the killing Of the three Italian
laborers at atwalsenburg, Col, in March last.
In his message the President suggests that
Congress make provision for the dependent
families Of the victims.
A letter from Secretary Olney to the Prest
dens Is enclosed, in which the Secretary
says: "The facts are without dispute, and
no comment or argument can add to the
force OF their appeal to the generous con.
sideration Of Congress. Three persons were
killed outright, while two others sustained
injuries of a character the most disabling as
we'll as painful. The only question would
seem to be as to the amount OF gratuity In
zach case, which must rest, Of course,
wholly in the discretion Of Congress, to
whom it can hardly be necessary to cite the
statutes OF many States Of the Union fixing
the maximum to be exacted In the case OF
death caused by negligence at the sum OF
S5000.''
