CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The lumber dealers
to-day decided to continue the present
rates for time. laundering operations
are far behind this winter, no snow having
fallen on any part of the lumber region,

seven. DIR. Raueh, of the State Board OF
Health, believes the worst is past in this
city.
At a meeting tonight of the Norwegian

A PANIC IN CHURCH.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-During the cele-
bration of high mass in the Church of the
Holy Cross, man was seized while pick
ing pockets. In order to effect his escape
the culprit cried 'Firef' Immediately a
great panic seized the congregation, who
rushed for the doors. During the confus-
ion twelve women were crushed to death
and forty other persons seriously injured.
The pickpocket was soundly beaten by the
crowd, The culprit is Jew. The lower
classes of the people are much excited
against his co-religionists, several of whom
have been maltreated and had the win
dows of their dwellings broken. The mill
tary had to be called out.
So far thirty persons have died of in
juries received during the panic in the
church. Four shops kept by Jews were
completely Quilted. Several policemen
were injured by rioters. The authorities
displayed great promptitude in repressing
disorder. Military are patrolling the dis
turbed quarters.

Heis strongly backed by Grant and New

BONT EXPLOSION.

RICHMOND, Dec. 27-News was received
here this morning from West Point, on the
York river, of a terrible disaster to the
steamer West Point, of the Clyde line, ply
ing between that point and Baltimore.
The West Point arrived at West Point early
yesterday morning, and the gang began to
discharge her cargo. They cleared out all
her freight between decks, and had goue
below into the hold to take out a quantity
of kerosene oil, when at ten minutes past
10 (mid- day., an explosion occurred, which
blew the side Of the vessel into the river
md set fire to the ship. Nineteen persons
Including four of the crew, and nearly all
the stewards hands, perished. The first
and second officers escaped, one being bad
ly injured. The captain being on shore,
was saved. The crew were mostly from
Baltimore and the laborers from Rich
mond and West Point. The West Point
was new ship, having only made q few
trips; she was valued at 100000 Insu-
rance $40, 600.
The explosion occurred near the forward
hatch, and the vessel was instantly IN
flames. The twelve colored men in the
hold were killed or burned to death; five
others jumped over board and four were
drowned The steamer was cut loose when
it was found that it was impossible to save
L
where everything was burned, except her
iron hull, which broke amidshlp. Eigh-
teen of the nineteen dead are colored; three
Others are injured.
The boats cargo was OF miscellaneous
freight, including oil and gasoline. The
oil igniting, the flames spread with such
frightful rapidity that there were no chances
of saving the vessel or people on the for
ward portion of the deck, and great
pnrt on the starboard side were thrown
ont. and all in the hold or near the
forward half must have been instantly
killed. Four men were drowned forward.
Four-ffths of the gang were slowing
cotton in the aft of the hold, who, with
boy, made for the starboard part and
| plunged into the river. Just then large
/ hatch slid off the deck and falling upon
| them disabled four SO they sank at once
the fifth saved himself.
Passengers on the Richmond q Dan
vile railroad from West Point, state they
were utterly unable to account for the dis
aster They say the only fire on board
was under the boiler, which runs the hoist
ing engine, and the engineer working
remained at his post unhurt. The hoit
had been opened nearly two hours whei
the explosion occurred. So the theories o
a boiler or confined gas explosion are un
tenable. The steamer West Point wa
built at Baltimore at cost OF $1o,0oo
This was her second trip, and the thlr'
time the vessel or portion thereof had un
4 dergone the ordeal.

wnrspEnrses IN WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 27.-It is pretty well
settled that the committee of the American
Bar Association, will at its meeting in
New York, in February, adopt plan for
the relief of the United States Supreme
Court, which eontemplates the establish
ment of another court, to consist of fifteen
Judges. A member of the committee
states this action will be taken in Difference
to the wishes of the supreme court, rather
than for any other reason He says the
Judges of this court are unalterably OPP
posed to any other plan, which looks to a
b-division of the present bench into
separate chambers, each with jurisdiction
over certain classes of cases. The Judges
think this plan would not give the relief
sought; it would not enable the court,
even though it trebled its capacity for
work, to hear cases coming up as
promptly as they should be heard to say
nothing of relieving the docket, and ii
would lower the influence and dignity OF
the court to divide it up for the sake OF
getting more work out. They probably
will recommend to congress the passage OF
an act providing for the creation of an adj
ditional court, which shall hear and have
Jurisdiction over most of the cases thai
now go to the Supreme Court. All higher
