DISASTER AT ADAMS.
Church Floor Collapsed With Two
 Hundred Persons.

ADAMS, Mass, Oct 3.--WhiIe righr Rev. Thomas D. Beaven, Roman Cath olic bishop of Springfield, was laying the cornerstone of St. Stanislaus Pol ish church here yesterday afternoon a floor collapsed, precipitating 150 per sons into the basement. A dozen per- Bishop Beaven and several of the priests assisting him were hurt.
 The most seriously injured are: Gro- dek Mischloski, aged sixteen, nearly suffocated and legs injured, condition critical; Miss Belle Turner, both legs fracturetf;;@ Rev. L. O. Triganne, inju- ries to head and face; Rev. l.. T. Ro- dier, contusions; Rev. Nj. F. Kopytkie- wicz, legs injured, contusions Of fore head; Mrs. Michael MeAndres, leg fractured; Right Rev. Thomas D. Bea- ven, bruised slightly about hands and body; Alexander Lestock, injuries about the head.
 Some 1000 persons attended the cer- emony, and about 200 were seated or standing on the floor. which covered the newly made basement. Bishop Beaven was attended by Rev. 4. q. Mclaughlin of St. Thomas church, Adams, and Rev. l.. o. Triganne. pas tor of Notre Dame church. Adams, as deacons. Rev. James ". Dolan of St. Thomas parish, Rev. l.. T, Rodier Of Notre Dame church. Rev. M. F. Kopyt- kiewicz, pastor of St. Stanislaus church, and others were near the bish- Op.
 Just as the latter was about to lay the stone a section of the flooring about forty feet square collapsed, drop ping twelve feet and carrying with it the bishop, the clergy and about 1z0 others.
 were unayoidably trampled upon and half suffocated.
 Bishop Beayen was caught in the crush, but was able to save himself from serious injury. He was bruised about the body and had his hands scratched.
 Father Triganne had his nose crushed, sustained cuts on the. checks and forehead and was injured in an eye Fathers Mclaughlin and DOian were beside the bishop, but escaped injury. The pastor of the church was quite severely bruised and cut.
 A number of police officers and score ot doctors were present, and within twenty minutes all the injured had been extricated and cared for.
 The most serious case appeared to be that of Grodek Mischloski, a Polish boy, who was caught under many oth- CTS. He was unconscious when extri- cated, having been nearly suffocated. Both of his legs were injured. and there was evidence of internal tatu- rfes.
 One of the clergy administered the last rites to him, but later he was able to be removed to his home.
 The accident was caused by the breaking of a heavy wooden girder which had been sphced. 4 quantity of stone to be used in the building work was resting on the floor, and this ad- ditionaI weight contributed to the ac- cident. The ceremony of laying the cornerstone has been indefinitely post poned
