1,600 men weie In Hup, among them being
the Kulghts of St Jehn, of (bit city, hcadel
by their band, and neenmpanted by repre repre
lentatlves of St. Jeseph's and St, Peter's
societies.
When the precession reached the a Uef
the proposed church tbesoetellesand bands
et music assembled en a temporary fleer
which had been laid upon the joists In
tended te support the ilrst fleer et this
building. Tbe area of this lloer was SO by
f)0 feet and upon this about 1,600 peeple
were gathered.
After the corner.ttone had been laid by
Archbishop Rsbu, el Philadelphia, as
slated by a hull a dozen priest, Father
Leblczki, the pastor of the new church,
began the delivery of an address.
WITHOUT A MOMKNT'S WATlNINd.
A demo throng bad gathered near him
and wero listening Intently te h!a words
when, without nmotuent'H warning, a par
lien of the II cer, about 200 equare feet in
ares, gave nway, and between two and
three hundred peeple wero precipitated In
a struggling, shrieking mats iltteen feet
Inte the cellar. Frem the limps et maimed
and bruised humanity that lay at the bot
tom of the charm aruse u dreadful chorus
of groans, cries and means of agony that
fairly rrcze the bleed el theso who heard It.
AmunK these who hud escaiied tbe oouiuio eouiuio oeuiuio
lion whs hardly lussgrtat. Women fainted
ami a wild pante ensued in which tbe
crowd tramplid evor each ether. Many
jumped from the walla te the ground In
Hi el r terrer and desire te oscApe and many
otheiH fell down only le be trampled upon.
Archbishop Kyan, who had been standing
at the edge of the break lu the lloer and
narrowly escaped being pieclpltated with
the crowd, remained ccel and did all be
could. de te stay the panic 11 e called upon
the priests present le come ferwurd and
Kraut absolution In the dying. Soen,
however, oemparntlvo order ws ostab estab
llshetBud hundreds of willing hands began
the work of extracting the wounded from
the mass et planks and beams which lay
ever and among them. Fhy slclnnn were tele
phoned for and the ambulances of the two
hospitals sent for, whlle the tire alarm was
truck te bring te the sceue the hone car
riages el the lire companies. These, with a
unmber of private carriages, were used te
take the injured te their hemee, whlle these
mrst seriously hurt were carried into the
adjoining beuses and cared for until the
busy physicians could attend te them.
THE SCENE IN THE CKI.I.AR.
The eoeno In the cellar wliore the Injured
lay in great heaps, bleeding, mangled and
bruised, was enough te appall the eteultet
heart. Many were pinned tolhe ground by
beams nnd planks which wcte held down
by ether fallen timber or the wounded who

injured or slightly hurt te etcape aggravated
thesuiretlDgsacu injuries et these unuble
te help themselves. Women and children,
men and bejF, with their clothes tern from
their backp, and arms and legs broken,
were all in a confuted heap.
In ahent a quarter of an hour nil the
wounded had been released. Many who
at first supposed that they were net
seriously Injured and attempted te walk
home were overcome en tbe way and many
who reached home were found te be badly
hurt Nearly all the physicians of the city
were engaged In e irlug ler tbe wounded, the
exact uumber of whom, owing te the con
tusion, it wositnpesslblotoobtaln. Among
these who went down was Mayer James
K. Kenuey, of Heading, who escaped, h W

ellered in nearly all the churches of Read
ing Sunday evening for the Injured in the
accident.
cause or Tim nisASTim.
The cause of the disaster Is attributed te
the detectlve manner in which tbe Joists
wero framed. Instead of being ledged
upon the top of the girder as is usual, the
joists were tnortlced Inte it. Tne break
occurred en one Hide of this girder where
the mertices were, nnd the ends with the
great weight upon thorn went down, tear
ing away part of the walls In which their
ether ends wero embedded, but fortunately
net throwing It down te add te the terrors
of tbe accident.
An examination of the ruins alter the ac
cident showed that tbe girder wbleb breke
was of white pine C by 12 Inches supported
by Iren pems 7 Inchen in diameter. The
girder brnkent a pent where It had been
aplleed. The joists were mertlai d into tbe
girder, forming a clear celling below for the
basement. Tbe iron prstB rested upon stene
blocks and are still standlug. When the lirst
girder went down It carried with it the Bide
Joists and pulled down the walls.

Heartily Gemmtndrri aa the Mh.ui te
licnillt the United HtatfS Ths ll.pub-
llc.n I'arty's Fall Uasteflelllitansts,
Tbe New Yerk J)st published en Satur
day evening a letter from Mr, Ctrl Schutr.
te a prominent Republican of Missouri,
who lud written te him, asking bis support
for General Harrison. Mr. Sehutz does
net defend any concessions that tbe
E resident has mtdote the spoils system,
ut he is certalu that Harrison's election
would be followed by a "clean aweep, with
ail that tbe term Implies." He thinks Mr,
Harrison In point if personal oharaeter
vastly preferable te Rlalna " Neither his
professions nor his antecedents stamp htm
as a man who would resist the demands of
the Influential politicians of his party."
What Mr. Harrison's administration would
hi under Mr. Rlalne'a oentrol, he says,
seems te be taken for granted.
Mr. Sehutz Is net frightened by tbe cam
paign cry that Cleveland will tutn Indus
tries. "New, when tbe Democrats attempt
te de In n very moderale way what the Re
publicans had for jests been premising te
de, we are told that unless this attempt ts
stepped tbe country will go te ruin." He
attacks tbe Republican policy of getttngrld
et tbe surplus by lavish expenditures. Its
existence breeds Jobbery and corruption.
He adds:
In fact, we begin te hear the Idea of nn
economical administration of the govern
ment rather Jeerlngly spoken of as a pica
yunlsb, narrow minded policy. Ne true
frlend of tbe cottetry can witness snob a
tendency without serious concern. A Dem
ocratic government which constantly raises
a much larger revenue than it needs for
an economical admlnUtratlen, and then
embarks lu lavish expenditures for the
sake el upending the stir plus that govern
ment Is lu n very bad way. Such a prao prae
tice, tome time continued, will produce a
carnival of rascality In our publie alfalts
compared with which the Tweed regtme In
New Yerk will appear llke white Inno
cence and virtue. Sueh a practice, raised te
the dignity nt a Ry.tem, would be the moral
ruin et tbe Republic.
When 1 thus see the Republican party
Baorldeo the profession and pledges or Its
better deTB 'sacrifice the often repented
premises te reduce the tarlll sacrlllee the
whisky tax which but yesterday the Re
publican party would have almost unani
mously ecorued t ahelli-li lecrlll -e tbe
idea of uti economical administration of
government se esseutlal te the morals of a
demoeratlo republic when 1 see It ready
te sacrifice everything " rather than sur
render any part of the proteatlvo system,"
1 am ferced te tbe conclusion that tbe Re
publican party lias lallen oemplotely under
the control of saltish, grasping interests, In
which the spirit of monopoly Is running
mad.
THE MILLS HILL,
The veiy arguments currently used In
Bid el that policy are calculated te make
one distrustful et the cause they are le
support Hew In the world can anybody
Imve the face te say that tbeMllla bill would
destroy the protective system and thereby
the industries et tbe country the Mills bill,
which proposes tarlll reductions much
Btnallertbari tho'e proposed time and agstn
by Republicans high in authority, In tact,
averaging considerably less than theso rec
ommended by tbe Republican and pioteo pieteo piotee
tlontsttanU cemmtsnl'iul The Mills bill,
wbleb, If enacted Inte a law, would still
leave behind It one of the highest protective
tarlirsthe world has evcrseen-aye, ablgher
tariU than was designed under tne stress et
our civil wart
Equally astonishing Is the argument that,
it tbe danger Is net lu tbe Mills bill ltseir, it
Is in tbe spirit animating It, In tbe princi
ples embodied In Preatdent Cleveland'
tariff meccane. What are theso principles?
That "tbe ni ceasarles of life uted and con
sumed by all tbe pueple, the duty en which
adds te the cost of living lu every home,
should be gi eully cheapened ;'' aud that
"the duties en raw materials used in man
ufactures" t'buuld be "radically reduced"
or abolished. Against the recend part of
this preposition tbe Repub'lcan party
makes Its open war, According te them,
the free importation of raw material Is te
destroy the protcetlvo system and with it
our industries. Ne mere eolf-evldontly
fallacious assertion has ever been advanced.
It will make Henry Clay, the greatest
champion et the protcetlvo policy this
country has ever had, tnru In his grave, for
it was he who said : "There are four modes
by which tbe Industry of tbe country can
be protected, and ene of them la the admis
sion, free of duty, et every article Which
aids the operation of tbe manufacturers."
Nothing could be mere amusingly auda
cious than the elferta made by Republicans
te persuade the Amerlcau werklngman that
bis wsges depend absolutely en the main
tenance of our tarllf and that American
labor will be repressed te tbe level et "tbe
pauper labor et Europe" If we "surronder
an v part et our pretectivesystem." Repub
llcan speeches and papers f ilrly teem with
comparisons of wages in the United States
aud waves In England te show the effect
of frno'trade lu tbe ether. 1 Bball net
here Inquire Inte the correctness of these.
oenipariAonp; but, assuming tnem te de
oerrect, what de they prove? That It Is
the tarlll which makes wages higher In
America, and tbe absenes of a tarlll whieb
makes thorn lower In England? As
every body knows, wages range higher In
free trade England than In protectionist
Oermany. New, If It Is true that wages
depend upon the tarlll, than free trademust
bave oaused higher wages In Kngland and
wages In Uermauy must have been do de
pres'ed by protection Or, If we bksuuie
that wages range higher In lingUnd than lu
Uermany, somehow, In eplteet English free
trade, may It net be said with equal justice
that wages range higber in America than
In England, somehow, in spite el American
protection 7

POLITIUat. MOTES.
Abram H. Hewitt was reneminated for
mayor of New Yerk by the County Deme,
erata at their convention Saturday evening.
Judge Thurman has contributed f 2,000 te
the Demccratle campaign fund,
Although 50 v our old, Mr. Jee Jeffersen
(i?(p Van jrinie) his never voted ;
neither have his three sons, Themas,
Charles and Jeseph, Jr. They will beat
their home, In ilobeken, N. J,, en eleotlen
day and will vote for Cleveland and Thur
man and tarirt reform.
Dr. David L. Jerdan, president et the In
diana state university, thus explain his
recently announced ehangenf political base:
"I have always heretofore afUtlaled with the
Republican party, but this time 1 cannot
support the Republican platform, though
perteaally 1 like Uineral Harrison. This
fall I shall support Cleveland and Thur
man." Professer Llnd, of the Danville find.)
Nermal oellege, who has made a similar
change, says that tbe Republican party has
gene oil and left him In its position en tbe
tariff question, and "consequently I expect
te support Mr. Cleveland, as he Is a safe
man, and 1 have no doubt that he will be
reolected. I am no politician nor olUee
seeker, but wheu any man takes an Inteill Inteill
geut thought en the question new at lsaae
he cannot ataud upon the Republican plat
form." Frederick A. Ilerjsmln, et Stratford,
Conn., who was a presidential elector for
Llnoeln In 1804, has written an open letter
te the voters ut Stratlerd, lu which he gives
his ressens why be shall vote for Cleveland.
lle saya that overythlng that gave birth
and life te tbe Rspnbllean party having
borne the fruit of lull accomplishment, It
possesses re longer a motive ler political
action except the ene principal of a high and
unjust tariff levied upon Importations nl
foreign merchandise. Or the 00,000,000
people In the laud 55 000 000 pay the
enormous duties el 50, CO, 80 and even 100
per cent en arlleles of prlme necessity te
the consumer ter tbe sole benefit et the
otber G.OOO.OCO, the wealthy manufacturing
companies mainly reaping the harvest.
And new let me say that a cause which
appeals te the plainest (Mutates et common
soiihe and eterusl Justlce must prevail;
and the prestige et H name, howevor glo
rious, that has been assumed by a party
that denies and opposes this appeal should
net prevent us from giving our support te
the able and sturdy leader of reform who
