FIGHT PANIC IN A CHURCH.
Big Congregation in Mad Rush From
Smoke.

New Richmond, Wis, Jan. 12.-Pan-
ic-stricken by q cloud Of black smoke
that came from a defective furnace
and enveloped the altar, where Rev.
Father M. f. Boyce was celebrating
late mass yesterday. q large audience
in the Roman Catholic Church OF the
Immaculate Conception made a frantic
rush for the outer air, while wild cries
Of fire added to the general fright. But
for the heroic work of a few cool head
ed men many lives would have been
lost, as scores of persons were thrown
to the floor and trampled upon. AS It
was the men fought the fear-crazed
people and eventually stopped the
panic.

A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came TO Waco, and sat for his pic
ture. in his hand he held = stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew Jack
son, which has been carried by him ever
since. Mr.. Brock is a dignifed old gen
tleman, showing few signs OF decrepi-
tude. His family Bible is still preserved,
and II shows that the date or his birth
was written lis years ago.
Surely a few words from this remarka-
BILE old gentleman, who has had llo years
Of experience to draw from, would be
interesting as well az profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given Of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Times Herald, December 4, 1893. A still
more ~pretenticus biography of this, tho
oldest living a illustrated with IA
double column portrait, was given the
readers of the Dallas Morning News,
! dated December IL, 1895, and also the
Chicago Times-Herald OF same date.

w. Resume Of the Weeks
Proceeding.

Washington, Jan. 6.-F1actically the
entire session Of the senate yesterday
was devoted to a speech by Mr.. Lodge
on the situation on the isthmus OF
Panama. He discussed the abstract
question Of the right to recognize the
independence of a new nation and o n
cluded that such a prerogative per-
tains exclusively to the office Of the
chief executive. He also contended
that there had been a general expecta-
ton OF an uprising In Panama in case
OF the failure of the Hay-Herran
treaty, and declared that the presi.
dent could not have done less than in
form himself Of the prospect. ME-
Lodge argued that our intervention in
Panama had been only in the interest
of peace and %contended that the presi-
dent had not gone a step beyond what
the proprieties called for.
The privileged resolution proposed
by Mr.. Hay (Va.) providing for an in
v~estigation OF certain statements in
the Bristow postofice report rejecting
on the membership of the house yes
terday was referred to the committee
on postofices and post roads on mo-
ton of Mr.. Payne, the majority leader.
Washington, Jan. 7.-Alleged irreg-
ularities in the postoffice department
constituted the only theme in the sen
ate yesterday. The question came up
on a motion first made by Mr.. Lodge
and afterward by Mr.. Penrose to refer
the Carmack resolution looking to a
senatorial investigation Of the post
office department to the committee on
postoffices and post roads. The DEM
ocratic senators resisted the motion
and %contended that the country would
not be satisfied with an investigation
Of a department made by the depart
ment itself. The debate continued for
almost two and a half hours and was
extremely spirited from start to finish.
Further consideration of the subject
was deferred until Friday.
The only measure considered In the
house yesterday was a bill introduced
by the delegate from Hawaii to ratify
an act of the Hawaiian legislature au-
thorizing the manufacture and distri-
button of electric light and power on
the island of Oahu, Territory of Ha-
wall. Owing to objections made to
the hill in the form presented. 1t was
recommitted to the committee on ter
ritories.
