Historical PLAGUE That Has
Been Covered Over for Half
a Century, Contains Inter-
esting Names and Dates.
CORNERSTONE RECORDS
PLACED 70 YEARS AGO
First English Congregation
Makes Request of st.
Mary's for Old Treasures
for Their Collection.

Covered over for half a century by
a sheet of tin placed there in 1860,
when St. Mary's church congregation
obtained possession of the building
on North A street at Seventh, is a
marble slab with dates and names long
forgotten and which the First Eng
lish Lutheran church, which caused
the structure to be built, now desires
to add to it's historical record. And
besides down in the corner stone there
has laid for the three score and ten
years of the life of the building, Bibles
and documents that antedate even the
marble PLAGUE and OF which no man
has any remembrance. These, too, are
sought, and every effort will be made
by the Lutherans to gain possession
when the old structure is torn away.
John e. Peltz, a member of the coun-
Gil Of the Lutheran church, recently
appealed to the Rev. J. F. Mattingly.
priest Of the St. Mary's parish, asking
that the Catholic congregation turn
over the slab and the contents of the
corner stone to his sect, urging their
value as records to the Lutherans. No
action has been taken as yet although
it has been suggested by Father Mat
tingly that the Lutherans MAKE a do
nation toward the erection of the new
st. Mary's.
Erected in the Forties.
The old building was erected early
in the forties by the first Lutheran
congregation in Richmond, and at that
time the documents were placed in
the corner stone and the marble slab
was raised to its present position in
the gable, high above the Seventh
street entrance. In 1850, however, the
church was sold to the Catholics, and
all exterior traces Of the more modern
sect were obliterated. The corner
stone bears no carving and the slab
has been forgotten beneath its cover
ing Of painted tin. Even the Oldest
members of the Lutheran church,
men like George and Henry Knollen.
berg, who went to Sunday school in
the old building, have forgotten just
what is contained on the slab and
much interest will center In the remov.
al Of the covering. which win take
place after the completion Of the new
Catholic ediflce.
It is the intention Of the Catholics
to tear away the old structure when
the new is ready to be occupied and
later, perhaps to build new parochial
school on the premises. In the mean
time the Lutherans win make other
requests for the ancient records.

Niagara Falls, N. Y. June 10
Twelve foreigners were burned to
death in a shack at Fallsview, Ont,
this morning. Eight others were bad
ly burned and are in a Niagara Falls
hospital. The origin OF the fire is
yet unknown, but it is presumed was
caused by carelessness following an
all night carousal at Niagara Falls,
Ont, following carnival and celebra-
tion. The men were employees Of the
Ontario Power Company and were
sleeping like rats in a poorly con-
structed tenement. This loss of life
is the greatest in the history of the
Falls district from fire.
The foreigners whose lives were
snuffed out by fire were members OF
the day gang Of the power company
When the night shift relieved the day
gang many of the latter journeyed to
Niagara Falls, Ont. where a carnival
was being held. They INDUCED in the
festivities Of the occasion and it is
believed imbibed too freely In the cur
that gladdens.
All Of Them Drunk.
The report is that when they reach
ed their tenement at Fallsview short
ly after midnight they were in a bad
state OF intoxication- Some matches
were ignited and dropped on the f1ool
setting fire to the frame partitions in
the building.
In a few minutets the flames burs,
through the roof of the poorly con
structetd building and trapped the
half stupef1ed foreigners in their small
rooms. They were suffocated by the
dense smokes and flames and were
frightfully charred in the burnins
building. The eight who managed Il
escape before the fire consumed tht
building were fearfully burned ant
more deaths are likely to result from
the fire.

tier just behind Horseshoe falls.

ing for those who were suffering from

the petition to come into the commits

not meet with the approval Of the at
torneys for the Cambridge City sa-

fair and square.
One of the attorneys stated this
morning that in the review Of their
investigation yesterday afternoon, it
was found that the liberals could
challenge enough names to bring the
majority of the petition down to ten
or twelve. However, as this would not
defeat the petition, no further effort
was made to challenge the names
The records of the commissioners

granted by a majority of thirty-one.
