NEARLY CAUSED A PANIC.
Explosion Of Gas on Board Boat Boun
for Gravescnd.

Explosion Of Gas on Board q Boot Bound
for Gravescnd.
An extraordinary scene bordering on panic
occurred yesterday afternoon on the big
apuble-dccked ferry boat Wesifield while the
9yssAel was steaming down New York bay on her
why TO Bay Ridge. There were between 500
sg4GD0 passengers on board, all bound for the
races at Gravesend. The day was a bad one, a
high wind prevailing and the rain coming down
in torrents, so most of the passengers sought
shelter in the upper cabin. Just of Governor
Island, when everybody had settled down for
the twenty minutes sail to Bay Ridge, an ex-
plosion occurred, followed at once by flames
from the space in which the crank and piston
rods work. Instantly all was confusion, men
and women rushing to either end OF the boat in
their haste, falling to the deck and tumbling
over one another and the camp stools upon
wlich they had sat. The life preservers were
doTned, and only the GOODNESS of the officers of
the vessel and several passengers prevented
some Of the frightened people from jumping
Into the bay. The engine continued to work
and the West6eld continued on her course, and
this, in measure, treasured the passengers
while the officers made hurried investigation.
1t was learned that the trouble had been caused
by an explosion Of Illuminating gus and fhat
some of the woodwork Of the boat had been
'seOrched. but the officers explained the fire had
been quickly extinguished and all danger was
then past The boat reached her slip without
further incident.

NEW WORKERS walked UP.
A Great Meeting Of Supporter Of DIR. Park
hurst to Be Held.


hurst to BE Held.
The Parkhurst movement, says HOLLAND"
writing from New York to the Philadelphia
Press has grown SO that no longer rds1or
contempt and sneers and jokes are heard tbnHiilI
corning this heroic effort, but In its place has
arisen q great moral influence which wiHIk be
manifested at mass meeting to be held in
Cooper Union very soon. That great hall has
been the birthplace OF many political and eco
nomic reforms, but IL has never contained a
throne bent upon such a mission AZ that which
will call together the defenders of Dr.. Park
hurst in mass meeting next week.
1t is at last understood In New York that
Parkhurst's crusade is not against vice IprhMa-
rily. The society of which he is president Is an
organization to assist the legal authorizes in 4h
suppression Of crime. Heretofore the society
has undertaken its work in mistaken manner,
1t has tried TO supplement the police depart
ment. Parkhurst realized that instead Of sup-
plementing, its first duty was to attack This
department., for Parkhurst had obtained moral
evidence which convinced him that the police
were In collision with three illegal businesses
They were protecting the gamblers, the viola-
tors OF the excise law and the keepers of disrep-
utable resorts. DR.. Parkhurst obtained evil
dence which showed him that the proprietresses
OF the more prominent resorts Of this latter
class had been compelled for number IL years
to pay $500 a month to somebody in authority
for police protection.
The Cooper Union meeting win emphasize the
strength OF public opinion which is now giving
Parkhurst and his society magnificent support,
and instead Of being spasmodic attempt ut re-
form. az 80 many movements have been hereto
fore. it now seems likely that out Of the Park
hurst crusade there may be developed some
thing which will put an end to the association
of the police department with those who are
doing criminal acts. !
