PANIC In A sCHOOL.
Hundreds OF Children Jammod IN hhs
HaIIway--A Lass Of the InJareEl.

A@AA~
WATERBURY,, CONN, Oct. 16.--Fire broke
out suddenly In the Elm street Public School
Building in this place this morning just be-
fore the echolGrs were to be dismissed for the
noon recess. Smoke filled the various rooms,
and the pupils, mostly small children, were
so frighten that panic quickly ensued.
Many of the scholars were seriously hurt
and two received injuries which the physi-
clans fear may prove fatal.
When the smell Of smoke first prevaded
the building nothing was thought Of It, as
the furnace 10 liable to smoke, but, as 1t
grew denser and had q peculiar odor the
children became panic stricken, and rushed
TO the Railways. From the lower rooms,
thanks to the GOODNESS of the teachers, the
children mostly escaped unhurt. In the
upper halls and stairways there was room
sufficient for them to crowd out without
especial trouble, tut on reaching the lower
halls, and particularly the stairway leading
from the second floor, the jam was terrible.
The lower stairway was simply q mass Of
struggling humanity, shrieking, yelling,
| rolling one over the other. Coming out
| upon the lower corridor, bruised and bleed
ing, 1t seemed for Q time IS II hundreds
mus he killed or terribly msLgled. For
NJ f1Y lalf al hour the struggle for escape
frua. sne narrow exit continued. When
finally the end came dozen children were
taken home unconscious. The panic among
the children did not cease when they got out
Of the hallway: Many rushed down the
streets for blocks hatless, and, in many in.
stances, coatless, wringing their hands and
cry ing piteously.
The children most seriously hurt were
Ada B. Baldwin, aged 10, Internal injuries
that may prove fatal; Annie Moore,
daughter of Thomas Moore, coIlar-bo
broken and dangerous usinternaiinjuries; Dlehl-
man R.e, severely cut and bruised; Emma
Danlelson, bruised and scratched; Mary
Buckwalter, ten years old ,and Oracle Buch-
anan, OF Union square, seriously, though
| not dangerously, cut and bruised. Annie
Moore aud Diehlman Rye may die. They
each fell down long fight of stairs, and
were trampled upon by their excited school
mates. A0a Baldwin is unconscious to-
night.
The fact that the panic did not have far
more serious result is largely due to the
cool-headed behavior Of the teachers. One
| of the ladies, Miss White, showed her self
| possession by locking the door of her school
room until the mad crowd had passed. Then
she opened the door aAd let the pupils pass
safely out. Hand the fire spread more rap
idly very many must haze been burned OF
killed, for one-half Of the door of exit on thu
first floor was closed and for some minutes
the jam was such that 1t could not be un
bolted.

THE PILOTAGE ! CASE,
IT COMES UP seFoRE THE su-
PREME COURT.
THE CLAIMS OF PENNSYLVANIA
Refusal OF the COURT 90 Hear Argument
for the State OF DsiawarO-The Petit
TONERS Given Hearing.

WAsHiNeTOM, Oct. 1Ss-.fn the matter Of
the Commonwealth Of Penneylvauia, peti-
toner, argued BY Mr.. b. O. Ward and Mr.
M. P. Henry for the petitioner, the Supreme
Court did not desire TO hear counsel for re-
spondent. This is an interesting pilotage
case from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District OF Pennsylvania.
The facts, as stated by the Attorney General
of Pennsylvania, are as follows:
'The State of Pennsylvania, by the act OF
June 8, 1881, dIrects that every vessel which
10 not spoken by pilot outside OF straight
line drawn between the capes Of the Della
ware shall be exempt from, the duty Of TAX.
ing pilot on her voyage Inward to the port
Of PhiladeIphia, and the vessel, as well as
her master, owner, agent or c. nsignee, shall
be exempt from the duty pfpaying pilotage,
or half pilotage, or any penalty whatsoever
In case Of her neglect or refusal so TO DO"
The purposes OF this act was TO secure O
viRilant service. The State Of Delaware, by
the q Of April 8, 1881, eompels every YES
eel, except such as are solely coal laden,
passing In or out OF the Delaware Bay, by
the way OF Cape Heulopen, % receive q
pilot. The weasel In this case did pass in by
way Of Cape HenlopeD, andwas spoken BY
Delaware Pill It after she had entered the
Capes.
BY the law Of Pennsylvania, to one Of
whose ports she was bound, she was free
from pilotage. By that Of Delaware she be-
came liable to pay full pilotage. The Della
ware rates are higher for the service refused
than the Pennsylvauia rates are for the same
service rendered. The District Court Of the
United States for the Eastern District OF
Pennsylvania had en-ered q. decree against
the vessel for the rates provided In the Della
ware act, and thus has exercised Its admir-.
ality Jurisdiction to enforce the laws Of Del
aware over the port Of Philadelphia.
The effect Of the decision 10 to allow q
State lying nearer the sea- whose whole iu.
terest In the pilotage laws Is the support oi
her pilots, to override all Legislation OF Penn
sylvania (whose interest lies IN encouraging
commerce) exempting vessels from pilotage,
The State of Pennsylvania, regarding the
Delaware legislation as invalid, seeks TO pre-
vent the enforcement of this decree by the
writ of prohibition.
Counsel for the respondent, on the othel
hand maintain that Delaware has the same
right TO pass laws regulating pilots and
pilotAge that Pennsylvania has, and hel
legislation upon this subject extends equally
with the LEGISLATION of Pennsylvania Ovel
the bay and river Delaware.

Liberalism I'm sDaip.

MADRID, Oct. 10 -Senor Moret, the new
Minister of the Interior, has requested the
official, in his department not to resign, as
is the usual course in a change Of Ministry.
He says the present Government seeks the
cooperation and goodwill of all the fac
tons of liberalism, in order to correct
abuses, and to prove to the nation
that the Liberals can 'orm a compact party

pose to displace any generals of the army,
but If any tender their designations they
will be replaced by friends of Marshal

PITTsBURe. Oct. 15.-While John Bley
and James Maloney, two switchmen, were
repairing some damage to freight car at
tached to train standing at Derry Station
on the Pennsylvania railroad Yesterday, the
engineer, not being aware of their presence
under the car, started the train. Bley was
crushed and mangled beyond recognition
and died instantly. Maloney was crushed
against the tender Of the engine and his
scalp was almost torn from his head, and
an arm and leg were broken.
The train was quickly stopped AID
Maloney was carried to the engine and laid
upon the floor. The trainmen then started
for Bley's remains and were carrying them
towards the engine when Maloney crAzed
with pain, suddenly jumped up and threw
the throttle wide open. The engine started
with fearful rapidity down the grade. When
Latrobe was reached, six miles from the
scene of the accident, Maloney closed the
valve and fell uncC nscious to the floor OF
the cab. He was picked up and taken to
the hospital, where he iB ct present with very

New HAVEN, Oct. 15.-Justiee Tuttle sat
in his little East Haven court room to-day
with volume of the State statutes open
before him at the page where It is enacted
that "every person who shall engage In any
sport or recreation on Sunday, between sun
rise and sunset, shall be fined no more than
iour dollars nor less than one dollar" Four
teen men stood up at his command to plead
to the charge upon which, under the blue
laws, they were arrested yesterday for riding
on q public highway on the Sabbath.
"You understand, of course" remarked
the Justice, "that under this statute there
Ia no appeal from the Justices decision and
you viii have to settle promptly or go to
JAIL"
Constable Sperry and his deputies gave
little testimony, telling how they had cap
tured the accused riding on the Foxon road
and how they had held them In custod, In
barn yard during Sunday afternoon.
"Well, remarked the justics, ''I fine YOU
four dollars each, with costs"
All settled promptly and court was nd.
journed, with the town Of East Haven en-
riched by about 500.
"The chief reason given for the arresta
under the blue laws" said Constable snerrv
to night, ass not because the Foxon peonle
are better than other folks, but because va
want to scare of the New Haven men vho
come pouring out through our roade every
Sunday. We think that this will settle the
matter.o

His action in the matter
has aroused much Indignation against him
in the district. At the annual meeting
held last week no officers were elected for
the ensuing year in consequence of the
school belonging to the city, and yet this
unpleasantness is kept up. 1t will soon
be put an end to, however, and the two Dog
berries will learn that they cannot act con-
trary to law without being visited with
punishment. The teacher is an egotistical
dude from the east who knows but little
of western civilization, but he will awaken
to the fact that he is acting very foolishly
for he will not receive one cent compensa-
ton for his labor out of the public funds.
