At t Bedio&tion—Several People Iijured.
Lorain, Ohio. Oct. 6.—"While a
great number of people was as-
sembled this afternoon to witness
the laying of the corner stone of
the new St. Mary's Catholic
church a temporary floor on which
many of the people were standing
suddenly gave way, precipitating
many men, women and children
to the ground. One was killed
outright, twenty were fatally in-
jured and between thirty and
forty others were badly hurt.
The services were just about to
begin when the accident hap-
pened. Fully 3000 pe: sons were
assembled on and around the plat-
form, which had been constructed
across the foundation of the edi-
fice. The boards forming the
temporary floor had been laid
across the joists, which were sup-
ported in the middle by upright
posts. These supports broke and
the floor went down with a crash.
The old Catholic church and
parochial school were at once
turned into hospitals. A score of
doctors were called, and they
were kept busy for hours caring
for the injured.
There were between 1500
and 2000 people on it when
it gave way. Despite the accident,
the services were continued and
the laying of the corner stone
was completed.

of Novel and Exciting Feats.
The great Wallace shows,
which are now exhibiting in this
city, ga've two very commendable
performances yesterday. The
threatning weather reduced the
usual circus crowd in the after-
noon, but last evening the im-
mense tent was comfortably filled
by a representative Kansas City
audience, who witnessed a very
enjoyable exhibition of high class
circus art. The programme con-
tained novel and startling features.
The riding was uniformly good
and the ring stock the handsomest
ever seen in the city. Mr. Wallace
prides himself on his horses and
gives them his personal attention,
and every one of the 300 horses
that are used in transporting the
show are in admirable condi-
tion Kansas City Star, June 29,
