MILLIONAIRE MORGAN.
FALLS WITH COLLECTION PLATE.
NEW YORK CHURCH INCIDENT.
NEW YORK, December 3.
An incident that slightly upset the equanimity of the congregajjon in one of the New York churches" occurred during the morning service on Sunday. The collection was in progress, when Mr J. Pierpont Morgan, one of the sidesmen, by whom it was being made, tripped and fell.
The well-known millionaire went sprawling along the aisle, and the contents of the plate were scattered all over the floor. It was rather a serious fall for the aged financier, who, however, suffered no ill-effects, and was able to resume the collection after the lost offerings had been returned to his plate. A local writer, commenting on the incident, says it is the fix-st time in Mr Morgan's history that he has ever let money go.
