ELIzABETH, N. J., Jan. ga number Of
worshippors who had been attending service in
tho new million-dollsr edinco Of st. Patrick's
Roman Catholic Church had q very narrow 90:
cape from being crushed TO death tonight by
the falling OF the steeple OF the old church edi.
fee. which stands beside the new one,
The first Of the churohgoers were but q few
feet from the old church when the stecple was
torn from It's anohorings by the high wind and
was blown into Wall street. 1t was 90 feet
high above tho roof. When 1t fell tho crash
was heard for blocks around.
The c~hurchgoers were badly frightened. Many
sticks and small pieces of debris fell among
them. One woman carrying o baby. who was
directly In front Of tho old church when
the steeple fell, had o miraculous CO.
cape. Pieces of timber and all sorts OF
debris fell thiokly around her. but she
was not struck by a single piece. She
did not stop running until she was several
blocks from the scene. Tho house directly OPP
posite the old church 10 occupied by John Sulli-
van. The top Of the steeple struck the front Of
this house and shook the structure so that the
inmates rushed out, believing an earthquake
had occurred. g.
Three limos Of electric light and telephone
wires that passed. through Wall street wero
broken down by the steeple. which also broke
down q large tree and nvo or SIX poles. several
narrow escapes from broken electric light wires
occurred. and tho entire force of linemcn en-
ployed by the telephone and electric light COM
panies were hastily summoned.
The debris was fred by the heavily charged
electric wires. but tho blaze was quickly extin-
Ruished. The street was completely blocked.
The church from which the steeple was blown
was erected in 1858. and had been used up to
within q few months. when 1t was abandoned
for the new structure.
Tho steeple swayed badly in every wind, and
the danger was increased q few weeks ago by
operations necessary for the removal of the bell
from the steeple. The Rev. Martin Gessner, the
priest Of the parish, it was said tonight by one
Of his practitioners, had the demolition Of the
steeple in contemplation. The money for that
purpose had been raised, but was applied to the
uses Of the new church. and the removal Of tho
steeple was postponed.

Japan Wants Them.

japan wants to buy the Ladrone
Islands from the United States and is
willing to pay good price for them
according to the late japanese papers.
1t is not for the construction of a
naval port nor for the extension OF
Japanese influence in the south seas
that the purchase is advocated, but
that the fishing industry may be ex-
tended.
About eight years ago the Spanish
government offered to sell the La
drones to Japan and Viscounts
Enomoto and Aoki were strongly in
favor OF their purchase. The deal was
defeated, however, by the opposition
OF Count Inouye. He was very stub.
born in the matter and by keeping at
it managed to prevent the sale.
Japanese newspapers realize that
the United States will probably desire
to keep the islands, especially in case
the possession of the Philippines is
continued. They are advising the
government, nevertheless, to make a
bid for them.
