Birmingham, Ala.,., Sept 22.-It is
now estimated that lis persons, all
co!ored, persisted in the disaster here
caused by panic in the Shiloh negro
Baptist church, where the national
convention of negro Baptists is being
held. OF this number fully 100 were
killed during the panic and the others
have since died OF injuries received.
At least 100 others were seriously
hurt and a number Of them may die.
Investigation shows that no white
people were killed in the panic. "A
number of white visitors were in the
church at the time and several of them
were hurt in the wild scramble but
none will die. Policeman Elledge, who
was standing at the exit endeavoring
TO quiet the mad throrg, was caught
between the moving multitude and the
wall in the narrow passageway leading
down to the stairs and nearly all his
clothing was torn from his body. His
legs were also mashed, but he will re-
cover. His efforts to quiet the crowd
were utterly futile and not until the
fire department and a large number Of
officers arrived on the scene was any
thing like order restored. Then it was
found that practically everybody had
gotten out OF the building. Those near
est the speakers stand seemed to
quickly realize that there was no fire
and no occasion for panic and the
speaker and the leaders passed outside
through a door at the rear of the pull
pit where they addressed the wild
mob of struggling humanity in an earn.

but even his words fell upon deaf ears.

GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTs.
Sensational Crookedness Discovered in
$1,000 Stake Race,

The Judges at the grand circuit races at
Columbus yesterday unearthed job in
the 5000 stake for 2:20 PAGERS and by
prompt action saved innocent spectators
who had backed the field a large sum Of
money. Severe punishment was meted out
to the driver, Tom" Stuard, and the
horse Elderone was suspended for one year
The 2:2O pace was the feature Of good
card. There were six starters, but Green
line and Elderone We're conceded to have
the race between them. Greenline won the
first heat with ease in 2:09h slow time
over the track, which was lightning fast
The second heat was won by Elderone
who paced a beautiful mile in 2:05A, cut
ting his record by four seconds.
The original betting had been Greenline
$1O0 and the field $50. Elderone's showing
in the second heat produced the desired ef-
feet on the odds, which now switched to
$50 on Greenline and $50 on the field.
The third heat went to Greenline in 2:10A,
Stuard making no effort with Elderone
When the horses came out for the fourth
heat the judges ordered Stuard out of the
sulky and put Valentine, local trainer
and driver, up behind Elderone. Elderons
took the fourth heat in 2:06A, outpacing
Greenline in the stretch.
In the fifth heat Elderone went to a break
in the first turn and could not be set to
pacing again. He finished behind the flag
with a broken hopple, which investigation
showed had been cut nearly through be-
fore the heat started.
The judges declared all bets off, placed
Elderone fourth instead Of distanced in the
last heat, suspended Stuard and the horse
Elderone for one year and fined Hudson
500 for not trying to win the. last heat
with Tertimen. Valentine was awarded
