PANIC AT A CHURCH PARTY.
Fire Caused a Rush I'm Which Many
PeEsons Were Trampled On.

A small fire in St GATHERINGS Church, at
Banksville, Pa, Tuesday evening, during
a tea party, caused a panic In which a
number of persons were injured, but fortu-
nately none seriously.
There were 500 people in the church when
the fire was discovered, and a rush was at
once made for the stairs. Women tainted,
people were knocked down and trampled
by the frantic ones in their efforts to reach
the stairs, while many went to the windows
and leaped to the ground, a distance of
probably twenty feet. Several priests who
were present finally succeeded in quieting
the people and the fire, which was in the
basement, was soon extinguished without
much damage.
Physicians were summoned, but 1t was
found that no one was seriously hurt, and
all will be around in few days

TO the Editor Of The Times:
have been asked why 4 am a Sound

In reply 1 may say that. whilst not
denying that cur present financial sya-
tenn needs revision. and is susceptible OF
much Improvement, II is. nevertheless,
quite clear 10 my mind that the free, IN
limited. and independent coinage Of silver
az the arbitrary ratio Of 10 TO by the
United states alone is not a remedy fof
any OF the evils under which the country
IS suffering. Such coinage. or law pro-
viding for IL. would quickly drive out
of circulation eli our gold ana reduce ms
country 70 a silver basis, Il creby taS'h:
IL from among the iirss-Ciass powers OF
The earth and placing 4 on level wi'h
Mexico. China. and other silver countrie5.
IL is no. in the power Of the United
States Government 10 make sixteen
ounces Of silver the equivalent OF one
ounce of gold by making silver COINS az
this ratio a lcgal-tcnder an the payment
OF debts TO an unlimited extent, as Is
proposed by BRYAN. and his followers. An
attCmpt 10 do this would surely result IN
great disaster sooner or later.
Again. l am asked what is TO no the
true Democratic party OF thc future.
This Is q question which does not admit

In my opinion, the indianapolis pl1t-
form contains about "a good an expires
sion OF Democratic principles, az they
were understood prior TO the Bryan -on-
vcntioI az Chicago. as can be formulated;
and if Bryan should be defeated at the
coming election by a decided majority,
the Sound-Moncy Democracy on TINS
platform will be the Democratic party OF
tho future. But IL Bryan should be elect
