Panic at cristmas Entertainment.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-A wild panic and
injury TO several persons followed an
explosion at a Christmas entertainment
last night in the French Evangelical
Methodist church. The crash was caus-
ed by the bursting Of a stereopticon gas
tank, its force being so great as to
hurl people from their seats, shatter
windows and partly wreck the int.
rior of the primary department of
the structure. Men. women and chill.
dren fought for egress when the crash
came, and that the list of injured was
confined to those hurt directly by the
explosion proper was due to the efforts
of the pastor, Rev. A. L. Allais, who
calmed the 800 excited occupants of
the small Sunday school room.
