For twenty years Selah Chamberlain, of

Element with the State Of Minnesota, and at
last has been rewarded, and has gone to his
home with $500, 900 in cash and 3, 900, 600 in
bonds of the State of Minnesota, in payment
of his old railway bonds. Mr.. Chamberlain
applied to the American Express Company
to transport his newly acquired wealth to
Cleveland, but the company's charges were
$500 for the service, which Selah thought
too much. He is a large stakeholder in the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, as well as
of the Cleveland, Tuscarawas Valley and
Wheeling roads. He accordingly took the

was found that they were so bulk it would
not hold them. They had been printed on
heavier paper than that usually used, and
Mr.. Chamberlain's two thousand bonds and
some five hundred which were consigned in
his care to other creditors of the State, would
nearly have filled two such safes as the one
provided. The dilemma was an ugly one.
and the cars were held over until evening
1t was finally decided to send them on that
night, putting as many as possible 10 the
safe, and the rest in the trunk, keeping a
strong guard over them. Five men well
armed and abundantly well supplied with
food took up their quarters over the precious

pulled out it took in the innocent looking car

Boy at Riverton, twelve miles above here,
and transferred the Maysville Guards to the
Mountain Boy. The Mountain Girl, mile
or two behind at the time, abandoned the
pursuit on learning that the prisoners were
strongly guarded by the military. No bois-

and military to keep the immense crowd from
rushing on to the boat.

FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE.
Terrible Panic fn AN Illinois Church
Darling the Funeral Ceremonies
of the Late Pastor,
By which Some Forty Persons were
Injured. Several of whom, IL 10
Supposed, Fatally.

QUINCY, b.L, January 5.-Duripg the
funeral of the Rev. Simon Ruhlehens OF
Salem Evangelical church, this afternoon, a
frightful panic occurred. In the rush Tor
the street some forty persons were Injured,
six ladies seriously. The church is one of
the largest in the city, and was filed with the
friends OF the deceased. All the seats were
filled and standing room in the aisles and
about the doors was occupied. Soon after
the services commenced panic occurred. 1t
is said that seat in the gallery broke down.
People in the vicinity thought the gal
lery was giving way, and the rush
commenced Men, women and chill
dren poured out of the doors leading
from the main floor and CELERY into the hall
leading into the street. All efforts to stop
them were fruitless; the people were frantic
and would listen to nothing. In less than
two minutes the doorway was blocked up,
and the scene that followed was indescribable
The women who were caught in the crowd
were thrown down and trampled Oh, and
their shrieks and the shouting of the men,
who seemed to be frightened out
of their senses, were fearful. For fully
ten minutes the doorway was blocked
up, and during greater portion of this time
half dozen women lay on the steps under
the feet of the frighte ned crowd A few men
who got over their scare went to work heroic
ally to rescue the women, and succeeded in
getting them out after they had been walked
over by large number of men. As fast as
taken cut the victims were taken to adioin-
ing houses and cared for. 1t was found that
several were seriously, and. probably fatally,
hurt. Mrs. Spiker, married woman, aged
forty five, received internal injuries, aud it is
supposed will die. Maggie Meyer, a young
woman, was bruised in the face by boot heels,
and was injured internally. Mary Keys,
Merry Ann Ritter, Minnie Bundy and Miss
Dickdut, young women, all received serious
injuries, and their recovery is doubtful.
Mrs. Dalemap, an old lady; Mrs and Miss
Lohman, and Mis- Wiseman were badly
injured the Rev. Hollenbach, who was caught
in the crowd, had a rib broken. Many who
were knocked down and but slightly
injured, were taken home as coon as they
escaped and their names were not ascertsiued.
There was no occasion for the scare and no
cause for the panic. After the excitement,
which lasted for half an hour, the funeral
ceremonies were resumed. Up to O'Clock
this evening the victims were all alive, but
there is but little hope for Mrs. Spiker, Miss
Meyers and Miss Bundy.

comment in yesterdays Sun on the fact that

"What i want to get into your mind" he
