Stampede in ColOred Church at Birmingham
Results in FrightfuI Loss of Life.
PARKS AND PROSPERITY.
Reasons for Encouraging Parks, a
Street Car Line, Etc.

Hon. q. w Ellis in his address Of
welcome to the united confederate vet
erans had something to say about our
beautiful parks, but of course Mr.. Ellis
was smiling in his sleeve during that
part of his speech, for we have no sign
of a park and there il no prospect of
having one in the near future. But that
is no reason why we should not have one
and that soon. The Progress has from
ii me to time referred to this sul ject with
but little encouragement from the gen
eral public, bat the park, like the opera
house and many o:her public institu-
tions. must come in the near future.
The time has come in the growth of
wealth and population of the city when
these things have become a necessity
and the people will have them in spite
of all the opposition that may be
brought against it.
A park in the suburban part of the
city with an electric light street rail-
way running to it would be paying in
stitutlon for the promoters of the park.
the owners of the street car line and a
pleasure to the general public. The
park would afford enjoyment for the peo-
pie, the street Car line would build up
the section where it would run, increase
the value of property and put money
into the ockets Of those owning proper
ty along the line,
And what Is here stated about park
and street car line would apply to an
opera house. If a three story opera
house was erected on the corner lot
where now stands the ola telephone ex
change building all the property in the
neighborhood would quickly advance in
price and make this part of Main street
the busiest in the city. Industries must
be built when more industries will
come.

pecial to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept, 20.-Gt vernon Lon
gino has received quite number of
letters from compress managers. cotton
merchants and other interested persons
urging him to reconsider his refusal to
convene a special session of the legisla-
tuIe in extra session for the purpose of
repeating the valued policy clause Of the
insurance laws.
The governor. while giving the letters
and kilograms a respectful hearing,
steadfastly refused to rescind his action,
and there is no hope whatever that he
will change his mind on the subject.
The only possibility of securing re-
consideration of the subject is to present
to the governor signed statement from
the old line insurance companies doing
business in the state that will agree to
write blanket policies in Case the cotton
clause only of the valued policy law is
repealed. This is the chief reason on
which the governor based hi4 refusal to
call the session, and unl7ss the compa-
MES fall in line there is no hope for
relief through legislative source.
The prediction is freely ventured that
before the end of the month many of the
old line companies will be Offering
blanket policies on cotton risks, regard
less of the valued policy law.

RECENT WRECK ON THE SOUTHERN
Will Cost the Company a Heavy
Sum in Damages.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. 20. - The recent
wreck on the Southern Railway sew
eral miles east of Columbus, this
state, promises to cost the company
a heavy sum in damages.
Already damage suits have been
filed in the circuit court of Lowndes
county aggregatIng in sums claimed
$l62, 300, and many OF the persons
who were injured in the accident
have not yet sufficiently recovered to
employ counsel and present damage
claims.
The suits filed range in amounts
claimed from $500 to $l5, 900, and the
total of the suits may go as high as
a quarter of million dollars. It is
by far the heaviest batch of damage
suits resulting from one accident
that has been filed In Mississippi
court for many years.

Some One Started the Cry of
"Fire" and a Panic Ensued.
A RUSH WAS MADE FOR THE DOOR
BY Two Thousand Men, Women
and Children, and Scores Were
Crushed to Death.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. l9-In an
awful crush of humanity, caused by
a stampede in the Shiloh negro Bap-
tist shurch, at avenue G and Eigh-
teenth street, tonight, seventy eight
persons were killed and 100 more Sc
riously injured.
The calamity occurred at 9O'clock,
just as Booker T. Washington hao
concluded his address to the nation
al convention of Baptists, and for
three hours the scenes around the
church were indescrlbable. Dead
bodies were strewn III every direc-
tion and the ambulance service Of
the city was utterly incapacitated to
move them until after o'clock a. m.
The injured were first looked after,
and dozens of dead bodies were ar
ranged in rows on the ground outside
the house of worship awaiting re-
moval to the various Undertaking
establishments, while more than q
score were laid out on the benches
inside.
The church is the largest house of
worship for negroes in Birmingham,
and the pastor says that at least
1900 persons were in the stampede.
Instructions had been issued to al
low no one else to enter, but the ne
groes forced their way inside the
building and were standing In every
aisle. The entrance was literally
packed.
Just as Booker Washington con-
cluded his address, Judge Billion, a
negro lawyer from Baltimore, en-
gagged in an alteration with the
choir leader concerning an unoccu-
pied seat, and it is said blow was
struck. Someone in the choir cried
"They are fighting"
Mistaking the word lighting" fol
fire. the congregations rose er
masse and started for the door
One of the ministers quickly mount
ed the rostrum and admonished th,
people to keep quiet. He repeated
the word quiet several times ant
motloned to his hearers to be seated
Again the excited congregation mis-
took the word "quiet" for fire an,
rushed pell-mell for the door. Me-
and women crowded over benches
fought their way into the aisles, an
those who had fallen were
TRAMPLED UPON LIKE CATTLE.
The ministers again tried to sto
the stampede, bpt no power on cart
could stop the struggling, flghtin
mass of humanity. The scream
Of women and children added /,
the horror of the scene and throue
mere fright many persons faiute'
and as they fell to the floor we
crushed to death.

Missouri Farmers Destitute.

FORSYTH, Mo, March IT. Hun dreds of farmers in the Ozark hills of southern Missouri and northern Arkan- sas whose crops failed during last summers droughts are living in a des- perately poor way on short rations. It is estimated that probably 10 per cent of the population in the district has felt the bitter bangs of hunger this winter. Offers of aid have been refus- ed. The chief distress now comes from a lack of seed for the spring planting. This is being relieved by the distribu- tion of seed purchased by the governor of Arkansas with money personally borrowed from the banks. A member of the Missouri state board of charities who has just investigated the situation at the request of Governor Cookery will recommend that the Missouri dele gation in congress send what govern ment seed they can.

No attempt has been made to arrest them, and there are some lawyers who claim that extraditton proceedings would fail to force the men to accompany United States off, cials to Savannah. Both men appear to enjoy their residence here and take daily outings, Colonel Gaynor usually driving with his wife, while Captain Greene may be seen frequently prone nading on the Terrace.

GENERAL METHuEN.

Ranking the left of the rear guard. The Boers pressed that attack hard, and the mounted troops, attempting to fall back on the infantry, got completely out of hand, carrying away with them in the rout the bulk of the mounted troops. Two guns of the Thirty eighth battery were thus left unprotected, but continued in action until every man, with the exception of Lieutenant Ne sham, was hit Lieutenant Nesham was called on to surrender and upon refusing to do so was killed.
 Lord Methuen, with POO of the Northumberland fuSileerS and two guns of the Fourth battery, then found him. self isolated, but held on for three hours. During this period the remain ing infantry-namely, 100 of the Lan- cashires, with some forty mounted cupied the kraal near the wagons-als continued to hold out against the re-. peated attacks of the Boers.
 By this time Lord Methuen was wounded, and the casualties were ex- ceedingly heavy among his men. Their ammunition was mostly expended, and the surrender was made at about half past in the morning.
 .'The party ill the kraal still held out and did not give in until two guns and q pompom were brought to bear upon them at about 10 o'clock. making their position untenable.
 Ut is confirmed that most of the Boers wore our khaki uniforms. Many nla, xxrora aH1r hooCos Evon of rIoCn quarters they could not be distinguish ed from our own men.
 Ut is clear the infantry fought we'll, and the artillery kept up the traditions of their regiment. In addition to the forty members of the Cape police al- ready mentioned few parties of impe- rial yeomanry and Cape police contin- ued to hold their ground after the panic had swept the bulk of the mounted troops off the field.'
 Lord Kitchener's graphic dispatch showing that the fighting lasted much longer than was supposed confirms the belief that the disaster to General Hethuen's forces was due to leaving too large a gap between the front convoy and the rear and to placing an insuffi- C1e1t SCIeSu DSu1uu lu6 rear SudEu, which brought about a panic among the troops as a result of the Boer on- slaught.
 From other dispatches it appears that General Methuen was shot while riding to bring up the mounted troops and that his horse was killed. After the surrender General Delarey rode up and treated General Methuen with the greatest courtesy and consideration. He ordered his return to Klerksdorp under the care of his own nephew and a medical officer.
