WORLD 1T END
Panic and Prayers in Negro Settle
ment at Port Chester.

The windstorm and the darkness yesterday
created something like panic in the colored
settlement at Port Chester. The wind blew at
almost hurricane force and the air became so
dark that the street lights had to be turned
and inside houses lights lit. The lightning
and thunder were continuous. In the midst of
this. some one in the coIored settlement raised
the cry that it the end of the world. That
was enough to send many of the negroes into a
frenzy. Scores ran about the streets in the wind
and rain screaming and praying, and others
rushed into the church and. dropping down on
their knees, prayed fervently.
Women clasping children and dragging others
clinging TO their skirts rushed through the
streets, regardless Of the wind and rain and the
constant danger they were in from the flying
debris carried the wind. Shutters and signs
were whipped along as in a tornado. That
none of the frightened were hurt is considered
wonderful. It was an hour after the storm be
fore the excitement quoted down. Several po-
lcemen had 10 be sent into the district to

and men and women caught before they could

stripped from buildings. The farmers outside
