Naples, (a large city in Italy) August 24.  A sad accident
happened t'other day in the church of St. Mary of Miracles,
where, while the people were celebrating the Festival of her
Ladyship's Ascension, the organ loft where the musicians
sate fell down on a sudden, by which three of the musicians
were crushed to death and the rest crippled or very much
hurt; which caused no little confusion among the great
number of devotees who were in the said church.
