RICHMOND NEWS.
The Savings Bank Has Suspended but
the Mill May Start Up.
Especial to the Press!

Especial to the PresS.l 9s
RICHMOND, Me-, September 23.-The
Richmond Savings Bank has suspended,
pending an adjustment of it's affairs.
This situation was brought about by the
withdrawal of deposits, caused by ru-
mors concerning the soundness of the
bank. The bank, for several reasons,
passed it's last dividend, and as result
depositors began calling for their money
1t is thought there will be but little, if
any loss to depositors.
Negotiations are pending looking to
the starting up of the long idle cotton
mill here. So many reports of similar
character have been started before that
this seems like crying ''wolf'' again, but
there is some foundation in this instance
to think there may be something in it.

Fully 5000 people were present and hum

Major Mckinley was the guest of the
Manufacturers Club and was escorted to
the stage by Thomas Dolan, president of
the club and a score or more of members.
AS Governor Mckinley entered, the great
audience arose and cheered. Mr.. Dolan
introduced MI. Mckinley and the latter
was again given an ovation as he came to
the front of the stage. He spoke for an
hour and half. His speech was mainly
upon the tariff, which he designated as
the great issue of the campaign. Again
and again he was compelled to stop while
a storm of applause rolled through the
building. Every mention of President
HarrisOn's name created the greatest en-
thusiasm.
In the midst of the speech, local club
came upon the stage bearing a banner of
tin plate with the arms of Pennsylvania
painted upon it, and this inscription:
American tin plate, made at Morris
town, Pa, 1892" Governor Mckinley
said: 'sThere is another trophy of pro-
tection," and the audience cheered itself
hoarse. Postmaster General Wanamaker
also spoke.

A sad new YEAR.
Panic.Stricken Hebrews Trample Up
on One Another.
A LITTLE BLAZE AND AN OUTCRY
INA CROWDED BUILDING,

Then Wild Rush for the Doors, Which
We're Soon Bio cked-The Building
Contained Four synagogues, All OF
Which We're Crowded-Four Persons
We're Taken Out Dead and Many
More Badly Hurt.
New York; September 23.-Four per.
sons were killed and dozen or more in
jured in a panic this morning, in the
building 27 Ludlow street. There are
several synagogues in the building, which
were filled with worshippers celebrating
the Hebrew new year. There were from
thousand to twelve hundred persons,
mostly women, in the building. The
panic was caused by a candle setting fire
to a flimsy curtain hanging over small
altar in the synagogue, on the third
floor. Some one cried ssfire,' and imme-
diately there was a panic, the people
rushing for the stairs. The greatest ex-
citement prevailed. The cry of fire was
taken up by the worshippers in the syna-
gOgueS on the first and second floors.
They also made rush for the stairs, and
in less time than it takes to tell it the
narrow stairs and hall were filled with a
struggling,
Surging Mass of Humanity.
Those who had been attending the SER
vices upstairs pressed against the men,
women and children who were forcing
their way out below. The crowd got
blocked on the lower stairway. A wom-
an, among the first to come down stairs,
got wedged fast near the bottom of the
stairs, and those behind her were unable
to get past. The crowd descending from
up stairs kept growing larger and larger
as the frightened people rushed out of
the synagogues on the second and third
floors, and in less than a minute all
means of egress were choked up. The
cry of fire continued to ring through the
building, and the people, unable to move
one way or the other, became maddened.
On the first, second and third stories the
scene was fearful one. In their efforts
to escape the people knocked each other
down and trampled upon each other.
Four women were killed and at least a
dozen persons injured.
When the panic had subsidized
The Killed and Injured
were removed. Nine persons were TAX
en- to the hospital, and it is said that as
many more, but slightly injured, walked
to their homes. The bodies of the dead
were carried to the Eldridge street po-
lice station. The fire which caused the
panic was quickly extinguished and the
damage was very slight
The building No. 27 Ludlow street is a
six story tenement. On the ground floor
there is a saloon, in the rear of which is
the Synagogue Pedalsk. On the second
floor is a synagogue known as Sons Of
Aaron. 1t was in the synagogue on the
third floor where the slight fire origina-
ted. 1t is called Telmutorah. Rabbi
Muller was conducting the services there.
All of the synagogues were crammed
with people. Even chairs in the narrow
passageway were utilized. The stairs in
the building are steep and not more than
three feet wide.
One of the bodies at the Eldridge
street station has been identified as that
of Friede Decker.

BELLE HAMLIN AND HONEST GEORGE

How They Smashed the Worlds Record
for Double Team.
PROVIDENCE, September 25.- The
most successful racing week ever held in
Rhode Island, ended today. To the
many broken records of the week was
added the honor of having the worlds
record for a double team, 2.13, lowered
by the famous trotters Belle Hamlin and
Honest George. The official time made
by the pair was 2.124, and again were
the driver, Ed F. Geers, and G. J. Ham
lin, the owner of the team, accorded an
enthusiastic ovation. The sulky drawn
by the pair was pneumatic-tired,
the first of the kind ever used, and
was manufactured here expressly for the
occasion. In addition to this event, the
bay stallion Kremlin, in the 2.20 stake
race, made the fastest single trotting
record of the meeting, 2.11a, breaking
the record for five-year- stations, and
making mark as the fastest fourth heat
ever trotted in race.

NELSON FAILED,
But Considering the Bad Track and
Weather 1t Was to be Expected.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, September 25.-
The stallion Nelson started in Hampden
park to beat his record of 2.10 this after
noon, but failed in two trails, the fastest
of which was 2.111. The management of
Hampden park, who have been opposed
to the outlawed horse trotting on their
track, tried to lock the park gates this
morning SO as to prevent an attendance
at the exhibition, but the management
of the Hampden Agricultural society,
under whose auspices the trial was made,
repulsed them and crowd of about 2500
saw the trials. The afternoon was damp
and chilly and the track loose and heavy.
Besides this, Nelson was practically COM
PEELED to cut his own pace in both trials.
All things considered. he gave very
fine exhibition of trotting. The first
and best mile had these quarters: 33,
1.O44, 1874, 2.11a. The second was
trotted in drizzling rain with these
quarters: 32aa, LOCI, 1.374, 2.13. Mel
sons fastest mile beats the park trotting
record three seconds.

Such q woman lives in d little Con-
