Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad
Company, will commence the survey of the
line at Yorkville, this morning. 1t was in
tended to have commenced at Chester on yes

The Bond Case.
THE reply of Morton, Bliss & Co., to
the return of Comptroller Hoge in the bond
case, was file in Columbia on the 4th. The
Charleston |eus and Courier gives the fol.
lowing summary of the reply:
The relators deny most of the material allie.
cations of the respondent, and confess and
avoid others. The ten causes set forth in the
return are replied to seriatim. The valida-
ton act is pleaded as waiver Of all irregu-
larity in the original issue or hypothecation
of the bonds. As to the fraud about the issue
of the seven million of bonds, the relators
claim that it is immaterial, as to their case,
no proof being given, or direct allegation
made, that the bonds upon which their suit is
based are of the fraudulent class. They
maintain, in brief, that they hold good and
valid bonds that the State has expressly con-
tracted to pay the interest annually; has au-
thorized the levy in the very acts creating the
bonds that it is clearly the ministerial duty
of the comptroller to give notice of the rate
per centum necessary, and that as he has neg
lected to do so for the current fiscal year, and
refused to do so for the next, the court must
compel him by mandamus.
The relators join with the respondent in the
effort to prevent an investigation by the court
into the condition of the debt, but on differ
ent grounds. They maintain that the regis
tration ordered by the General Assembly, be-
fore any payment of interest shall be made,
is unconstitutional, as impairing the obliga-
ton of contracts

A FEARFUL PANIC IN A CHURCH
A Number Of Persons Fatally I'M
.jured.

TRENTON, N. j., March 31-A dreadful ca
lannty happo' ed this morning at half past ten,
at 81. Johns Catholic church. on the occasion
OF the funeral of Rev. Father Mackn. The
church was densey crowded and thousands
stood outside. There were some twenty offici
atlng clergymen present, and while the requi-
EN- for the dead was being sung, a loud crack
ing sound came from the gallery, and from the
general opinion that it was giving away there
arose fearful panic. CONSERVATION seized
every one and loud screams ensued from the
women and children. A rush was made for the
door. and Immediately scores of women and
children fell and were trampled beneath the
feet of the mass of human beings which be-
came wedged between the front gates and the
door. There the mass stood stubborn and inn
movable and the grOanS of those beneath were
fearful.
1t was fully ten minutes before the work OF
making an opening for the crowd to pass out to
the street was effected. Stawart men all the
time were busly engaged in pulling out the
women and children. 1t was shocking sight
as they were taken out with blackened ana
bloody faces They were carried to near resi-
dences and as soon as physicians arrived the
extent of the damage began to be apparent. In
the priests house two women were prostrateu
on the floor, in spasms, also little boy with VII,
dshgured face and broken arm. A little girl,
about twelve years If age was suffering from
internal injuries
At this moment matters are quoted down,
although vast cruwd is I'D the street, brought
together be the widest rumors.
In the midst of the excitement ladders were
thrown up to the windows and people and chill
dren We're taken out. Some of the windows
were broken. The appeals of the clergy, who
had jumped out of the windows aud gone to
the front door, for the mass to retreat back into
the church, assuring them there was no danger,
were unavailing.
The noise did not come from defect in the
gallery, but from the breaking of kneeling
board Ia the gallery. The services in the church
were resumed
The following are the names of tn" wounded:
Mrs. Julia Slingerland, Miss Maggie Malleney,
Mrs. Bridget Clark, Margaret Callahan. Mrs.
and Miss Deshiee, Mrs. Benz. Stokes and Rosa
Evans and child, a boy and girl, names I'M
known, were badly hurt. Some of the wound
ed are now in spasms and in critical condi-
ton. None have died.
The event has produced the create st conster-
nation throughout the city.
Later-Thc total number of persons injure
by the church panic is twenty. None have die
although three or four are in dangerous con-
dition.
