THE EASTEEH STATES. A Wilkesbaere (Pa. i special says that *a new Polish Catholic Church was dedicated in Hazel ton. Pa., on Hun day, and the Slavic population poured in from all sides. Many became drunk on polinki, a Hungarian beverage, composed of bad beer and coarse whisky. A party of them returned intoxicated to their boarding-house, where they engaged in a fight, during which a lamp was knocked off a table and the honse set on fire. The door was locked and the key coaid not be found. Some escaped through the windows, but the more besotted ones were routed to death. Following is the list: John Elias, aged 30; John Seddo, aged 25; John Kobinko, aged 35, and married; Michael Ynakovitech, aged 30; Mrs. Mary Manlick, aged 16; Paul Siskowitz, aged 30. Mrs. Manlick threw her babe out of the window to save it, but it was fatally bruised. Half a dozen others were badly burned.”

A New York telegram says that part of the Union “L” structure now building on Broad way, between Ellery and Fayette streets, Brooklyn, collapsed with fatal results. A Beid avenue surface car containining half a dozen people was caught under the falling mass and entirely demolished. Three men were killed outright and nine people were severely injured, two of whom are not expected to live. Four horses were killed. The accident resulted from the springing of tho sixty-foot longitudinal girders upon which the sleepers and rails are laid, and was due to carelessness.
