Among Those who Lost Their Lives
QUEENSTOWN, May 20.-The British
ship Lord Templetown, commanded by
Captain Hawthron, which sailed fro m
London to Philadelphia with Bombay as
further destination, on April u, ar
rived here to day after the loss Of a
number of crew in hurricane.
The voyage appears to have gone well
until the first of May, when the vessel
was in latitude as north, longitude 4j
west. The hurricane broke so severely
on the vessel that sixteen men were
sent aloft to shorten sail The truss
broke and the yard fell to the deck
Eight of those who had gone aloft were
hurled into the sea and drowned, one
was killed by the fall of the yard and
seven were severely injured.
Among those who lost their lives
were the first mate and the boatswain
The sea stove in the main hatch and the
vessel lost sails and yards in the terrible
storm. The ship ran before the wind
until the hurricane abated, when the
survivors insisted upon the captain
making the nearest port and the vessel
accordingly came to Queenstown as fast
as possible in her crippled condition.

l SERIOUS PANIC IN A THEATRE.

Caused BY the Cries of Fire Remark
able Goodness aud Presence of Mind
of the Performers.
PARIS, May 9O.-A serious panic oc-
CURED yesterday evening in the Theatre
Francais, which, but for the coolness and
presence of mind of the performers,
might have ended in terrible calamity.
A noise like the cracking of flames
was heard in the gallery of the theatre
while the performance was in progress.
Some persons thought the theatre was
burning and raised cries of FIRE. This
at once caused a panic and the audience
made rush for the doors.
The performers on the stage remained
entirely calm and undisturbed and the
manager Of the theatre soon appeared at
the footlights and stated that the moist
was caused by the bursting of a water
pipe.
This reassured the people, most of
whom returned to their seats and the
performance proceeded without further
interruption. Nobody was injured in
the momentary crush which attended the
scare but number of women tainted

PRESBYTERIAL UNION.
Young Peoples Societies a
Part of the Church Machinery.
THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS.

II Says the Societies should Have the
Help and Counsel of the Church-Uni-
formity Of Organization More Desir-
able in PresbyterlaI Than in Local
Societies.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Among the
interesting reports submitted to the
Presbyte rian General Assembly during its
session to day was that Of the special
committee on young peoples societies,
consisting Of Revs. F. G. Monfort and
Robert ]. Service and Elder John H.
Holiday, appointed in accordance with
the overture from the presbytery of
GAINESVILLE, asking for a model constitu-
ton for young peoples societies in the
Presbyterian Church, which shall secure
uniformity of organization in harmony
with the church polity.
Young Peoples Societies.
The committee said it "does not be-
lieve that uniformity of organization in
harmony with our church polity is to be
attained by the adoption of one constitu-
tion by all local young peoples societies
Such societies like Sabbath schools are a
part of the church machinery and their
conduct should be left to the church,
We have no denominational model to
which all our Sundsy-schools must con-
form. The school is under the care of
the session, and may be adopted in con-
stitution and operation to the needs of
the field. So it should be with the
young peoples society. Those who are
in authority. on the ground, and know
the peculiar needs of the field, should
have discretion as to forms and methods
We question whether a uniform consti-
tuition, even if cordially accepted by all
the societies as a substitute for those
they now have would be an advantage. ="
The committee said, however, that uni
formity is desirable in the recognition bv
the societies of subsection to the session
of the church and work to educate mem.
bers in the doctrines, polity, history and
present activities of the church. Soeie-
ties thus organized and working should
have the counsel and help of the church.
Uniformity of organization, the commit.
tee said, is more desirable and practicable
in Presbyterial than in local societies.
The name 'Presbyterial Union" seemed
to the committee to be well chosen, and
form of constitution for such organi-
cations was submitted with the report.
Praise and Commendation for The m.
In connection with the report the com
mittee presented a series of resolutions
commencing the work Of young peoples
societies; recommending that the mem
bers inform themselves in regard ia
the missionary and other agencies of the
church; that presbyteries appoint stand
ing committees on young peoples socie
ties and that presbyterial organizations
in young people be formed wherever ex
pedient.

STEVENS AND WILSON.
Admitted to Bail in Court
This Morning.
GEORaETOwNs FGRE-BUG CASE.

A Surveyor and Photographer Satisfy
the Court That the House Fired Did
Not Adjoin Another Dwelling House.
Ball Bonds ~, 900 in, Each Case.
Subject TO Magistrate Thompson's
Approval.
Solomon Stevens and Charles II. VII,
son, the Georgetown men accused Of
having fired the home Of Stevens in that
town, will be released on bail Of SO, 800
in each case. The Court of General
Sessions, acting under a writ of habeas
corpus, made this ruling this morning.
Wilson was present in the custody Of
Sheriff Truitt. Stevens was not present,
but was represented by Charles W.
Cullen, eX-Attorney General John Biggs,
Robert G. White and William H. Boyce.
Wilson was represented by T. Bayard
Heisel. Deputy Attorney General Giles
represented the state.
Mr.. Cullen stated that the defense
would prove by Robert J. Davidson, a
surveyor of Sussex county, who had
made plot of the premises, that the
building set on FIRE was not adjoining to
or part of another building, and the
prisoners were not liable for arson under
the old statute.
Surveyor Davidson was put on the
stand and showed by his plots and tes
timony that the building was not on ad-
joining property.
The state put upon the stand Theodore
w. Kreer, a photographer Of Georgetown.
He exhibited photographs of the prem
lSes showing the same thing
The court being satisfied from the
testimony, admitted the prisoners to
81, 500 bail. It is not arson for man
to burn his own property. John w.
Stevens, father Of the prisoner, was taken
as his surety, subject to the endorse
ment Of Magistrate John L. TIL mpson,
of Georgetown
In the case of Wilson. Magistrate
Thompson, was authorized to take bail if
Wilson could find an acceptable bonds
man.
The sheriff, counsel and prisoner re-
turnedto Georgetown this afternoon.

MELI0AN MAN SOON CHANGE LAW.

An Evening journal" Reporter, Aftera
Long Tour OF the Various Chinese
Laundries, Finds a Wilmington Celestial
Who Can Talk sensibiy on the eeary
Exclusion Act.
The Cinnamon resident in Wilmington
do not seem TO be very much exercised
over the Supreme Court decision as TO
the constitutisnality of the Geary Chi
nese Exclusion act. In fact there are
few of them here who have sufficient in.
telligence to comprehend the gravity of
the situation. None Of them have regis
tered and yet they go right on, squirting
water over American linen and wearing
themselves ont over the wash tub and
ironing board. They look at you stupidity
with their paper-shell almond eyes and
don't seem to care a continental whether
deaiy or his law ever existed.
Yesterday afternoon an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter visited several of the
Chinese laundries In the city with the
idea Of getting au expression Of opinion
from some Of the sons Of the, "Flowery

IL was hard work. The mention of
Geary and his law did not move them
any more than one of the ordinary
events Of every day life In America.
Huh What you say Me don't know,
was the general reply to all inquiries.
At last the reporter struck Charlie
Gee, a round face, pot-bellied son Of
Hong Kong, whose place Of business is
at Eighth and Tatnall streets. He could
speak and read English to a limited
extent. The reporter asked him what
he thought Of the Geary Exclusion act.
He said

Reports from New Castle this morning
brought the information that Mrs. p. T.
f. Smith, wife Of the defaulting paying
teller of the First National Bank. now
confined in the Jail there, had gene to
that city to bid her husband farewell, as
he would be sent to Kings county peni
tentiary, New York, on Wednesday

Marshall Ltnnan speaking Of the
matter this morning, said that delega-
tion of citizens had visited Attorn ey
General Olney at the Department Of
Justice in Washington, asking that
the United States prisoners con
victed in the United States court
here, when hard labor was not
included in the sentence, be al
lowed to remain at New Castle Jail.
Senator Gray, he said, will confer with
Attorney General Olney about the mat.
ter, as soon as he can get through with
the cases he has in the Superior Court.
Until he hears from the Senator Smith
will remain at New Castle
Smith was sentenced on April 1S K
seven years imprisonment in the King
county penitentiary, New York. Tn,
commitment was placed in the hands Of
Marshal Mahaffy, and was transferred tC
Marshal Lsnnan when the latter as
sumed his duties.
Many are Of the opinion that Judg,
Wales has some discretion in the matter
but this is incorrect. In February
1892, the Department of Justic,
at Washington, issued an order
that all prisoners indicted anC
sentenced to over one years
Imprisonment in the United States Court
for the District of Delaware, be com
mitted to Kings county penitentiarl
until such sentence is served. Therefore
the power of holding Smith remains will
the authorities at Washington. In al
probability Smith will remain at New
Castle for several days, and will not b.
