A FIRE PANIC AT MASS.
Rush for Life of Child Worshipers in =
Chicago Chapel.

IA
Chicago Chapel.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 17.-There was a
panic with probable loss of life in St.
Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church on
Noble Street, in the Polish settlement
in the northwestern portion of the city,
this morning. The pastor, the Rev.
Father Barzynsky, was conducting an
o'clock service for children, and the
church was filled with the little ones.
While the service was in progress the
altar draperies caught fire from one of
the candles and q panic ensued. In the
wild rush about twenty of the children
were crushed and trampled on, and
ONE of them received injuries which it
is believed will prove fatal.
There were about l 800 children, ac-
companied by their mothers, in the
church at the time. The women and
children became panic-stricken, and
rushed pell-mell to the exits. Those in
front were pressed upon by those be-
hind them, and lost their footing on
the stone steps in front of the building,
where they were trampled upon by the
fleeing multitude.
The arrival of the fire department
added to the stampede, and in few
minutes 10000 people had gathered in
the neighborhood. The fire was quick
ly extinguished, and the police with
much difficulty rescued the wounded
children from the excited multitude.
None of the little ones were dead, but q
large number were injured, a few seri-
ously.
Joseph Jack, II years old, has a
fractured skull and will probably die.
Stanislaus Kaminska was injured in
ternally; Frank Dreweicki has severe
cut in his head; Stanislaus Furgot, 9
years old, was injured internally; Martin
Keoski, 10 years old, Frank Sisk, 10
years, and Leon Skowkowski, II years,
were sent to the hospital, and four 9TH
er children were taken to their homes
The scene after the panic was over
WAS terrible. The stone steps at the
entrance were covered with blood. The
carpets on tie floor Of the church and
many of the pews were torn up, and
the church had the appearance as if
some bloody riot had taken place there.

Disasters Resulting from the Fierce Gale
of Yesterday.
NEW York, Oct, 18.-The fierce gale
which prevailed yesterday on the
Atlantic coast resulted in great disaster
to shipping interests.
An unknown schooner in tow was
driven ashore on Governors Island,
but came off at high tide. A loaded
lighter while passing the battery had her
mast blown out.
The tug James A. Garfield was run
into off Pier 3, East River, by the tug
Amos c. Barstow. The Garfield was
cut in two and went to the bottom
within a minute or two after being
struck. There were nine men on board
of her, two of whom-Jo ohm Lyons, fire.
man, and John Steele, ship carpenter
were drowned. The others were res
cued.
Off Princetown a schooner was seen
to be laboring heavily. She was watched
for while and three men could be seen
aboard. Finally a huge wave struck
her, and the next moment she disap-
peared. It was too rough to go to her
assistance.
The tug William E. Chadwick has ar
rived at Providence having lost four
barges on the way. Two of these sank,
but their crews were saved. Nothing is
known of the others.
A four-masted schooner was wrecked
near Tuckernuck shoal. The schooner
Grey Eagle was completely destroyed
by the wind at Wellf1eet. AT that place
seventeen fishing boats have been driv-
en- ashore
The captain of the Mary Sullivan, a
fishing vessel, which ran onto the reef
off Provincetown, reports that he part
ed company with the Swan, another
fishing boat, and at that time her masts
had gone by the board and she was
leaking badly. She carried a crew of
four men and was captained by Henry
Bascom, of Newport.
Reports from all points show that
many small fishing vessels have been
driven Out to sea, and it is not known
whether or not they have foundered.
The United States coast survey steamer
Bache is dragging off Nantucket, and it
is feared she will be driven ashore.

COLUMBUS, S. c., Oct. 17.-Primus
Jones, colored, was killed Sunday
morning at Sumter, S. G. A protracted
meeting was being held by the negroes
at Beulah Church, and the greatest ex-
element prevailed. 1t was at first re-
ported that Primus had been offered as
a sacrifice to the Holy Ghost be-
cause of his incredulity. Deputy
Coroner Norris held an inquest at the
church. The testimony showed that in
a perfect frenzy of fanaticism, Jones
was killed by Rev. A. H. Durant, the
negro pastor and one Richard Campbell,
prominent member of the church, be-
cause the deceased had expressed
doubts about the supernatural
power of Durant to kill and
restore to life, and that it was
a test case but the experiment
failed. A large number of 'Durant's
congregation believed that he possessed
supernatural power until his failure in
this case. The finding was that Jones
was killed and murdered by Richard
Campbell and A. H. Durant. The Jury
was composed of intelligent colored
men, and the coroner plimented
them on their verdict. The prisoners
are in jail

BURNED In A GALE.
The Steamer Annie Young Destroyed or
Lake Huron.

Lake Huron.
FORT Huron, Mich, Oct. 20. The
steamer Annie Young, of the Lake
Superior Transit Line, was burned to
the waters edge off Lexington, Mich,
at 8 o'clock this morning, and her
blackened hulk is now drifting about
Lake Huron. Eight members of her
crew persisted.
A stiff gale from the northeast pre-.
vailed at the time of the disaster and
the loss of life was due to the capsizine
of one of the steamers boats. Those
who remained on board the burn
ing boat-tfirteen in all-were
rescued by the steamer Ed,
Smith, which providentially hap
pened along at the time the fire broke
out on the Young. The captain of the
Smith sighted the burning boat at dis
lance, and Immediately headed his
steamer for the scene. But befsre the
Smith reached the Young the eight
men, who lost their lives, had taken to.
yawl boat, which soon capsized in the.
terrible sea which is running. The.
names of the unfortunate men are Nc
Nanard, of Port Huron; J. Crosby, J..
Gallagher, J. Connolly, and three deck
hands whose names and residences are
unknown.
The thirteen men were quickly trans.
ferred to the Smith by boat, it being
impossible for the little steamer to ap-
proach the blazing craft without en-
dangering her own safety.
The Young left here about 6:15 this
morning bound for Gladstone with a
cargo of coal and merchandise for Buff
falo. She was a staunch vessel, and
her captain had no fear of the heavy
gale and sea. But shortly after s.
o'clock fire was discovered by one of
the crew in the vicinity of the engine
room, and despite every effort soon
gained the mastery of the fire extin-
gushing appliances, and drove the crew
to the forward end Of the boat.
The mate of the Young was very
badly burned about the the face and
hands. He is lying at the Marine Hos
pital here.
The big Kittie Haight has gone in
search of the burned hulk, and if she
succeeds in finding it above water will
tow it into port.
The young was builtin Detroit in 1862
She was of 693 tons burden, and valued
at $50, 1000. The amount of insurance OH
the Young is unknown.
