 dows-Several Persons Injured.
 At St. Michaels Roman Catholic church, at Brewery and Wooster streets. was about Il o'clock yesterday morn ing the scene of a small panic, and be- fore it had subsided one man had jump ed from the window and broken his arm, and several others were more or less bruised,
 At the time of the panic there were about 500 persons in the church, at | tracted by the funeral services of Ra- | phael Delgrego, who was murdered in his fathers saloon on Hill street last | Thursday afternoon by Lorenzo Caru- so.

 Men and women rushed for the doors and windows, all fearing that the build ing was about to collapse, and a wild scene ensued. All jostled each other in their wild anxiety to escape, and it is almost miraculous that the list of in- jured was not larger than it is. Dur ing the mad rush for safety doors were broken from their hinges and windows and sashes forced out, so eager were the frightened crowd to gain place of safety
 Father Beccherini, who was celebrat- ft1or en congregation that there was no dan- ger, but all his efforts to reassure them proved futile, and the wild panic contin- ued for several minutes. The people present paid absolutely no attention to the words of the priest, and escaped through the windows, carrying glass and sashes with them. Both doors were torn from their hinges and tramp led under the feet of the by this time thoroughly panic stricken mob.
 One of the congregation, Vincenzo Luigi, of Fair street, was so frightened that he made flying leap through the window and fell on his right arm, breaking it near the elbow. He was taken to his home and his arm set. Several other persons were bruised and cut by the glass. but none of their in juries are serious.
 The panic continued for about ten minutes. and at its conclusion the ser vices were resumed. the larger part of the congregation re-enterlng the church.

Later as the police panty returned by the beach the yes sel lay with her stern high up or the rocks with the seas sweeping over her. People in the vicinity of Ragged Point had lighted beacon fire on the point and it was then burning.
 The craft proved to be the two-masted schooner Eva l.. Leonard of Boston. owned by A. B. Perry & Co. of that city, bound from Hoboken with cargo of POI tons of coal from John Congdon, Newport, R. |.

 0EFFCTfLS ARE DUMB.
An Agrarian Leader Says That Germany
 will RetaIiate.

Ea,,,ip Ian. 13.-The United Press correspondent has made repeated in o,Iiries this week as to the possibility of tariff war between the United States and Germany, but he has found everybody in official circles absolutely dumb on the subject, although two or three weeks ago the matter was discussed with little constraint.
 Freiherr von Hammerstein, the
 Agrarian leader, was asked what Ger many would do if the United States took an unfriendly course. He ans wered. "We should retaliate by shut ing out American cereals and woods and shouldQ look up new outlets for our merchandise. Doubtless for time German industries would suffer, but new markets are always found when sought. Anyhow, we cannot submit to bullying, especially when we have ab- solute right on our side"
 Deputy Aichbechler, vice chairman of the clerical party, and owner of a large estate in Bavaria, said decidedly: "We do no want any American grain anyhow. If the United States insist upon violating their treaty with us we shall protect ourselves by shutting out American cereals. We have too much Russian and Roumanian grain now The German farmer cannot raise stock and grow wheat with profit under the present circumstances"
 A Washington dispatch reported this week that Germany had refused to all low the independent inspection of emi- grafton at German ports. According to officials here the dispatch referred to an incident two years old. Two United States hospital men came to Hamburg during the epidemic to pre- vent the embarkation of cholera in fected persons. As they did not have what the authorities deemed the proper credentials from the Washington gov ernment they were not permitted to supervise the emigration to the United States. They also got into trouble with the United States consuls and after communications between the foreign office and the American lega- tion were recalled. No question con- cerning them has arisen in any form.

STUDENTS MADE IF 1IVBIY.
They Chased an Alleged Medium. from the
 the Hall in Middletown.

Middletown, Jan. 1S.-A crowd of Wesleyan students took possession of a Spiritualistic meeting here tonight and made it lively for the medium. They were taxed 25 cents for admission, al- though it was advertised to be free They discovered the medium cheating and made 1t lively by jeering and sing ing. Ex-Mayor Briggs and Represent ative Lewis acted as examiners, and found everything all right. When the medium started the cage test they shouted in chorus, Polly wants a cracker" "Muzzle him." and similar ejaculations. The medium said: "The spirit must be respected, and I will put out the next man that makes noise. :"
 'Get on to the duffer coming in the back door," yelled some one.
 Ex-Mayor Briggs went behind the cabinet and the medium failed on the next test.
 We will now invite few gentlemen on the stage" said the medium. A grand rush was made and the few se- lected left all their valuables with their friends.
 The medium tried to find hidden re- volver, but could not. He announced some words from departed friends" but the crowd began to jeer and he unceremoniously announced the seance closed.
 Some students turned out the lights and there was grand rush for the me dium, who got out of back door and after a long chase got away. All the seats were overturned and in trying to clear the hall the mediums aids were roughly handled The police took charge of the leaders The crowd re- mained outside and threatened to tar and feather the medium.

HOSPITAL SUNDAY.
Amounts Collected in the Several City
 Churches Yesterday.

amounts collected in the Several City
 Churches Yesterday.
 Yesterday was Hospital Sunday and collections were taken up in the several churches of the city. In the majority of the churches the amount collected was less than in previous years, owing to the fact that the congregations were smaller in consequency of the inclem- ency of the weather The amount re- ceived yesterday will be considerably | augmented by contributions from per sons unable to attend services yester- day. The exact amount contributed 1 could not be definitely aseertained, but the general impression is that the total amount is less than last year.
 At Center church between $500 and $6OO was collected for the two hospitals This amount will, it is thought, be in- creased by later contributions,
 At the United church the receipts for the general hospital were $233 and for Grace hospital $75 These amounts will also probably be increased.
 At Trinity Episcopal church a collec- tion was taken for the hospitals yester- day Last evening ex-Judge Robertson, who is warden of the church, said that he had not counted up the amount of the collection, but in his opinion it would be about the same amount as that received last year It will run close to $500 and may be increased.
 At the Davenport church about $20 was collected, which will be distributed about equally between the two hospi- tals. This amount will be considera-, bly, augmented by subsequent contribu- tions
 At the College street church $30 was collected for the general hospital and $19 for Grace hospital. At Calvary Bap- tist church $2t.6O was the amount of the receipts for Grace hospital and $17,93 for the general hospital In both churches the amounts will be material ly increased
 The hospital collections at St. Thom- as church were as follows: For Grace hospital $32, for the New Haven hospi- tai $45.21.
 At the First M. E. church no collec- ton was taken for the hospitals, the official board of the church deciding to postpone until next Sunday owing to the fact that a collection for church purposes was listed for yesterday.
 At St. Pauls and Christ Episcopal churches collections were taken, but the amounts could not be definitely ascer- tained last evening.
 At the Church of the Redeemer the amount will probably be close to last years figures.
