PANIC IN A CHURCH.
Fire Destroys an Edinoe which was Crowded
with Christmaa Worahippers.

WILMINGTON, H.. Dec. 26.-Fathers ogara
and Connolly of this city went to Twelve Milo
Grove. fourteen miles south of Joliet. to cole
brate an early morning Christmas mass ana TO
participate in the usual festivities OF the day.
During tho progress Of the services the church
took fire.
The fire was not discovered until the flames
had made such Roadway that It was impossible
to extinguish them. The church was crowded,
for the door.
A panic followed. Men fought with each other,
and women and children were trampled under
foot in the efforts to escape. All succeeded in
getting out alive, but many were injured and
badly bruised in the effort.
The building was completely destroyed. The
origin of the fire was not uscertained, but It is
thought that tho Christmas decorations were
ignited by the stove.

PART OF CAMP LOW BURNED.
BuildinEs Erected at SANDY Hook During tho
Cholera Scare or 1899.

SANDY Hook, N. j., Dec. GA part OF the
Government quarantine station known as
Camp Low was destroyed by fire early this
morning. The camp was just inside tho
Horseshoe. the haven OF vessels caught In
storms off this place. 1t was built in 1892
whom the cholera was raging in Hamburg, and
measures were taken by this Government to
prevent the plague from getting q foothold
here. Surgeon-Gen eral Hamilton of the Ma
rlne Hospital Service was assigned by Presi-
dent Harrison to superintcnd tho quarantine
arrangements for the Federal Government,
and Dr., William 7. jenkins, then Health Off-
Ger of tho Port of New York. had charge of the
State quarantine.
Gen, Hamilton selected the Camp Low site.
ana the abandoned station OF the southern
Federal Government on his recommendation
and transformed into a quarantine station.
equipped to accommodate over 1000 persons.
A hospital. was built 800 yards from these. and
others for the officers Of the camp and the news
paper oorrespondents. The camp was all ready
arrived here With nearly 400 cabin passengers
aboard and cholera in the steerage. Gov.
Flower had bought Fire Island for the State,
and the big hotel there was fitted up for the re-
ccption OF the Normannia's passengers. Al

cholera in tho camp.
There probably was never such an effective
quarantine maintained as that ut Camp Low.
The water front was guarded nv tho monitor
Miantonomoh. anchored in the Horseshoe, and
two launches filed with armed men pntrolIed
the water front night and day. On tho land
side there was a dead line of marines about 400
yards from the camp, and the marine camp with
300 men was to the west of the cholera camp.
The Health Officers of the State of New Jersey
built a fence thirty feet high across the Hook ON
the other side OF tho marine camp, and the army
post at Sandy Took made another quarantine
by establi 'hing b dead line on the other side of
tho marines dead line. The quarantine lasted
doned.
Recently the buildings at Camp Low were sold
for 81 900 to tho contractors who are putting
up the military city called Fort Hancock. The
buildings wcIo used by the contractors as quar-
ters for their workmen and for storing ma.
tcrials. The part burned yesterday included
the officers building. the storehouse, the stable
and one of the long'woodcn buildings. The fire
is supposed 10 have been caused by an over
heated stove. The damage was not great.

What Dun s. Co. Say of the Business Sit

what Dun 81 Co. Say of the Business Sit
uation.
New York, April 1O.-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
Out of 4,006 failures. with liabilities of
500, 152, 56l in the first quarter, IL bank
ing failures covered more than n fifth of
the amount, So, 744 $50, and 2,315 fail
ures with liabilities of $50, 1872, or
nearly three. fifths, are classified this week
according to branches of business, leaving
only 5S7 failures and less than Il fifth of
the liabilities, $12, 0G0, 019, in branches of
manufacture or trade not specified Only
two Of the thirteen manufacturing
classes and only four of the thirteen
trading classes show liabilities for the
quarter larger than last year, and only
five manufacturing and three trading
show larger average liabilities. For the
month OF March only three manufacture
ing and fo1r trading classes show larger
amounts than last year. and only two
manufacturing and five trading show a
larger average of liabilities in almost
every case; also it is shown that the in
crease is due to the one or two exception
ally large failures in that class. The re-
turns compared with those of three previ-
Gus years, disclose much improvement
already and prospect for more hereafter.
y sudden collapse in the wheat market,
exceeding three cents i'll II day. appears to
have no other cause than a belated per.
ception that past accepted estimates of
yield and consumption, official and other.
wise, have been misleading. Floods and
other unfavorable weather for seeding
have no weight. Expectation of great
scarcity and high prices burst like bub-
BILE, and for the time the only support
was the taking of profits by Spectators
for fall. Receipts have not warranted
hopes of Il great advance, nor do they now
warrant much expectation of decline.
Western receipts are smaller THAN last
year, and Atlantic exports are not large,
though over sixty per cent. larger than a
year ago. Corn receipts continue heavy,
and exports for the week were 3,323, 1877
bushels, against | l42, no last year, and
