CHURCHMEN Preparations for the Laying of the Corner-Slone. RECEPTION THIS EVENING A Notable Gathering in Honor of His Excellency Diomede Falconio at the Residence of Dr. George Ben ?Join ston, Arrangements are practically completo for the exercises to bo held to-morrow afternoon In connection with tho laying of tho ?jornerstone of the now Catholic cathedral, being erected here. Prepara? tions for tho service are pretty well fin? ished, nnd several of those who expoet to participate havonlready reached the city. Others will come In today, including His Excellency- the Apostolic Delegate, who *.\!H preside over tho ceronionlcs. Monsignor Pulcoiilo Is cxpocitod to ar? rivo on the 7:lr, o'clock train this evening from Washington, lie- will bo met at tho station nnd will be escorted to tho pres? ent Cathedral, where a formal reception Will be> tendered him. The altar boys and the clerpy, robed In cassock nnd surplice, will moot nt the episcopal residence and will march In a body Into the church. Bishop Van do A'yver will speak on be? half of the clergy, welcoming the dele? gato, nnd Mr. John C. Ilagan will speak for tho lnlty. His Excellency will make response. Though brief, tho service will be n most interesting one. marking tlie first nppe-aivineo In Richmond of thn dis? tinguished visitor. A genernl Invitation to the Catholics of the city has boen ex? tended. Immediately after the exorcises at the Cathedral a reception will be tendered to Monsignor Falconio by Dr. Georgo Ben Johnston at his residence, on E;*it, Grace Streot. This second reception will last from 8:30 o'clock until 11. Besides the clergy, all of whom will be present, nuit*) a number of prominent gentlemen of the city have been Invited. AVILL OCCUR TO-MORROAV. As stated heretofore, the laying of the cornerstone will occur to-morrow nfter? noon at 4 o'clock. A platform hns been erected along tho foundation of the new Cathedral, and other arrangements are being mado -to accommodate the crowd, which promises to he very largo. The Knights of Columbus will have charge of lho arrangements nt tho grounds. Members of the other societies and nil other Catholic men of the olty who can will meet nt ft o'clock In the afternoon at the Sacred Heart. Church, nnd will marcii In a body to the site of the new Cathe? dral. The clorgy, In cassock and sur? nllce. will attend them, bishop .Tanssens, who was In his early life men and laymen are expected. Bishop Kelley, of Savannah, so well known here, arrived yesterday and took dinner jvlth Bishop Van do Vyver. A number of priests are also.'?here, among them helng Father Alph Janssens, a nephew* of Arch? bishop Janssens, who was in his early life stationed In thlsolty. Tho Very Rev. ???1 llam O'Brien Pnrdow, Ft. J.. tho eminent Jesuit of New York, \vh*\ will be tho ora tor of the occasion of the laying of the corner-stone, also came In last nlgh't. He Is the f?llest of? Mr. John M. Hlgglns, No. 213 Governor Street. To-day aulto a, number of others Will arrive, including Mr. Joseph H. McGuire, of New York, architect for the Cathedral. Several bishops nnd other distinguished prelates. Including Dr. O.Connell, rector of tho Catholic University; are expected Mr. Thomas F. Ryan, tho donor of the Cathedral, will probably arrive to-mor? row. COULDN'T CHISEL IT. II Is curious fact, brought to light yes? terday that the much-treasured corner? stone will be entirely obscured from view when the church Is completed. The stone was brought h?>re fifteen years ago by Aiclibl=hnp Keane, then bishop of Rich? mond, from the Garden of Oethsemane. In tbe Holy Land. U has been turned over to the architect and gotten Into shape. At llrst it was intended to place the stone In a position where it could easily bo seen and tho specifications called for about thirty-seven letters to be chlneled upon It of appropriate inscription. But the stone Is of a very peculiar quality, which baffles tho pklll of tho stone? cutters. It Is very hard and heavy and brittle. Such Is Ils composition that It has beon found Impossible to chisel the letters on it. Hence It will ho put In per? fectly plain and smooth. A GRKAT CATHEDRAL. Inquiries mado yesterday lead to the belief that tho new Cathedral, -which will bo the greatest church Richmond and the South has yet seen, will cost sonKlderably more than the gonernlly accepted price. It was rumored that It will eventually cost as much ns six or eight, hundred thousand dollars, but this, it Is believed, Is wide of tho mark. It waa conceded yesterday hv contractors iin?l others, however, that tho building complete will cor.t at leasl $;S0 000 and possibly $400,00<\ ?? Inspection of the plans draws forth from every ono an expression of admi? ration. The Cathedral will bo In evory sense of thn ?vorld a magnificent struc? ture, a distinct ornament to the city. The dome will rise 144 feot from tho group?"? and tho two bell-towers will bo each 120 feet. Up to tho first floor, tho exterior will bo of Virginia granito; above It will ho of Indinan limestone. The roof will be guarded by Iron girders, and the whole will be practically fireproof. At tho en? trance win be six fluted columns of marble. Tho Interior arrangements will bo beautiful to a high degree. The floor will po of mosaic, and terrazza. All of tho columns, and there will bo a number of them, will be of the finest marble. The winnows will bo of stained glnss. There will be five altars, pot counting tho one In tlio morning chapel, which will be lo tho right of tho rear of the building.

A R I ?V/li-Y&IKiLV" WOODWARD & SON LUMBER ROUGH AND DRESSED WAS GROUND TO PIECE Arthur J. Craddock Meets a Horrible Death. BODY BADLY MANGLED Supposition Is that He Fell Under R., F. & P. Train While Trying to Board it nt Belviderc and Main Streets. While attempting to board an early morning train of tho Richmond, Fredor Icksburg and Potomac Railway, Arthur Crnddock, a young man of seventeen years, the son of Mr, Dnnlol J. Craddook, ? woll known attache of tho city en? gineering department, was ground ta death yesterday on Belvldero Stroet, noar Monroe Park. Owing to tho nbsenco of witnesses nn Inquent has been hold, nor will bo, and for tho same reason positivo knowledge of the details of the distressing accident Is lneklng. ????? tho best information available, however, It would appear thnt the yotmg follow, who wish?-'?! to make his way to Bultlmoro In tho cab with the engineer, with whom ho was acquainted, endeavored to swing nbonrd as ilio string of cars went flying by, lost his footing or his hold, nnd fell In the ground to meet a horrible death under tho wheels, Tho train passed on, tho occupants una? ware of Its death dealing work, and ti? mutilated remains of thn hoy strewn along the track wero discovered sonni two or threo hours Infor by passers-by. HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE OC? CURRED. During tho past few days young Crnd dock had frequently expressed a desire to go to Baltlmoro to accept a position which had offered Itself there. On Mon? day evening: ho went out us he often did with some friends, and Inter, with two of them, he went to the Bijou Theatre. After the play the three boy? went to tho Union Depot, nnd rode up on the north-bound train, which happened to be some hours late. This, It seems, was about 10:30 o'clock. At Main and Helvldern Streets, two of tho boys, according to their own statements, got off, leaving young Crnddock, of whom they saw and heard nothing further until yesterday morning they learned of his death. The Btntement of policemen who walked the beat, and of others, would discredit the statement that tho young man mot death on. this night train, though this opinion Is hold by many, Including somo of th? family. The more plausible supposition is that ho got oft at Elba and went back to Monroe Park or elsewhere and waited until No. 32, which ran by about 4 A. M., came along. The engineer ,of this train or the fireman, It is sup? posed, was the friend he expected to talco him to Washington or Baltimore This train, however, makes no stop nt Elba, and it runs rather rnpldly through the city. The young man attempted to climb aboard and In doing so he fell. HORRIBLY MANGBEY. When the remains were discovered about 7 o'clock in tho morning they woro In such condition ns to baffle attempts Identification. Portions of tho body were strewn along; the track for a distance of several squares. The father of th? y?uhg fellow, who had been worrying about hli absence from homo the night before, and who suspected something when ho hear?! of tho accident near his house, went to sen, and found, to his grief nnd horror, that It was undoubtedly bis own son who had been killed. Bater In tho day Identification was made more positive by the discovery on the remains of two pho? tographs?one of a young man nnd the other of a young lady, with both of whom young Cradrlocl. hnd been acquainted. Tho remains were taken up and car? ried to the offlco of A. W. Bennett & Co., where they were prepared for burial. In view of the nbsenco of wit liesses. Coroner TayMor. who viewed the remains, and whose theory of tho death is that Riven above, decided that with the evi? dence now In hand It would be useless to hold nn Inquest. PROSTRATI?: WITH GRIEF. As might bo supposed, Iho father of tlie young man and bis relatives are prostrate and grlef-strlcken nt the ter? rible accident.
