KILLED IN A PANIC.
A Fearful Disaster in a Jewish
Synagogue.
An Alarm of Fire Causes a General
Stampede of Human Beings, In
Which the Most Intense ExcIte-
ment Prevailed.


New YORK, September pa false alarm
of fire caused a panic in Jewish syna-
gogue, which was crowded with worshipers
this morning. In the rush for the stairway
four people were crushed and trampled to
death, and dozen were seriously injured
The firemen succeeded in extricating the
people from the blocked stairway.
The panic occurred in a tenement building
occupied by three synagogues, one on each
floor. In the synagogue on the top floor a
candle accidentally ignited bit of drapery.
Immediately an excited individual yelled,
"fre." Theu a rush for the exit came. At
the front portion of the door there was
jam, then crash and part of the board
wall gave way. A mass poured, fell, and
rolled down the steep stairway. Three
times as many persons were
attending the synagOgues on the lower
floors, more than 1000 in all. They heard
the rush and crash above and heard the
cries Fire" and Immediately likewise
made mad rush for the street. At the
second floor two blind and maddened hu-
man avalanches met. A furious struggle
ensued. Men and women fought, dumb,
but with madness and despair, and the
weakest went down. The deadlock was
broken again and again only to be renewed
with the same scenes of terror. Slowly the
solid mass, filling the stairway from the
wall to the ceiling. slid down to the ground
floor where it brought up against the rush
from the rear room of the synagogue and
all came to dead stop.
The police patrol arrived at this moment
and the officers, lighting their way through
the crowd, finally broke the jam. Four
women lay dead aud nine are seriously in
jured. The injured were promptly sent to
the hospital

Politics In Utah.

WASHINGTON, September 23.-Secretary
Noble has received the annual report of
the Utah commission for the year ending
September 1st. In speaking of political
apparent in the political situation in
Utah, which, if properly fostered and hon
estly managed will be productive of good
results. Considerable space in the report
is devoted to the discussion of the subject
of palygamy. The commission insists that
polygamy still exists and that there are
many cases constantly coming to the
knowledge of the association between the
polygamists and the plural wives they had
professed to have put away, is fact that
can hardly be oontroverted.

RECORD BROKEN.
Olympia the Center Of the Equi-
nOctial Storm.

! Two and One Quarter Inches Fell
During the last Twenty-fOur
HOurs--Weather at Other.POints
improvements in the service.
A creditable record Of fifteen years
standing for September weather has been
broken, and Olympia is now enjoying an
equinoctial clash of the elements similar
to that experienced at this season Of the
year along the Atlantic coast.
During the "a hours ending at O'Clock
this morning 2.27 inches of rain fell-equiv-
alent to a sheet Of water oyer two and one
quarter inches in thickness. This breaks
the record by one-hundredth of an inch.
The next largest fall for the month of Sep
tember occurred on the Both of that month
in 1887, when 2.26 inches of water was pre-
cipitated upon the earth. Records kept by
the lacal weather bureau since 1877 show a
range from five hundredths of an inch to
2.26 inches
The estorm appears to be general along
the coast north of Portland and west of
the Cascade mountains, but thus far Olym-
pia has ben in the midst of the heaviest
precipitation At Portland yesterday
there was slight shower, and last night
S6 inches fell. Spokane was clear, but
clouds hovered over Walla Walla. Eureka
was cloudy, but at San Francisco and Red
Bluff the sky was clear. Sacramento, Eu-
reka, Roseburg and Baker City were over
cast with clouds.
At 8 O'Clock the cities in the neighbor-
hood of Puget Sound had received more
than their share of rain. Fort Candy is
next to Olympia with l.04 inches Of rain.
There was a lifting of the clouds today,
however that betOkened a cessation Of
hostilities on the part of the elements.
Men whose business interests are more
or less affected by the weather, will be graf
lied to learn that arrangements have been
made to render the weather service of great
er utility and bulletin boards will arrive in
few days and will be placed in different
parts of the city, and the daily weather
bureau bulletin placed thereon each morn
ing There will probably be one bulletin
board in the post Office, one in the Olympia
hotel, one at the depot and one in some
prominent store window or corner. 1t is
quite likely a weather map, similar to the
one sent out from San Francisco, will be
printed and distributed from the Olympia
bureau. In the east the observations of
the weather bureau are relied upon to
great extent by business men in making
shipments and in carrying forward enter
prises in which the weather must be con-
sidered.
William Bell. of Port Angeles, who wss
instructed by Chief Observer Mark Har-
rington to take charge of the Olympia bu.
reau temporarily will probably be relieved
IN few days. III. Il. AlciatOre, of Port
land, has been directed to take charge of
the Olympia bureau, but whether be will
come or not has not been settled. Pend
ing the arrangements for permanent OBJ
serAer Mr.. Bell will remain in charge.

WiII AppIy for Divorce.

NICE, September pa representative Of
the associated press has an interview today
with Edward Parker Deacon, the Ameri-
day on the pardon from President Carnot
Deacon said he was going to Paris to ar
range his affairs, after which he would
prosecute his wife in court at Grasse
When the legal proof of her adultery with
Abeille was obtained he would apply for a
divorce. If Mrs. Deacon pleads that the
French tribunals have no Jurisdiction, he
will take the case to the United States
court. Deacon added that if he procured
divorce in France, he would at once go to
America and devote himself to the educa-
ton of his children entirely, the care OF
whom, he said, the courts cannot fail to
give him.

essay on Reading" in which he held
that the teachers did not pay enough
attention to good reading in the schools
Good reading was most desirable at
tainment, and he advised his listeners
to make the reading lessons as enter
tanning as possible. AT the conclusion

question in an interesting manner, all

Baker. "What Besides the Text Book?''

scented by Miss Ella M. Stratton, In

School," Miss Lucretia Rodell's paper,
was discussed, followed by informal
discussions on number of other mat
