MANY
LIVES LOST
IN CHURCH
fBy Associated Press. \

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 22fherc
yere no additional deaths during the,
night as the result of the panic in
81. Paul's Baptist church, colored.
The total number of dead reporT-
d today by the hospitals is seventy.
two.
The score Of injured which were
taken to the hospitals last night, have
with the exception of four persons,
returned to their homes.
The panic was started by the cry
fire." The disaster occurred while
collection was being taken up. The
pastor had just concluded his SER
non, the text of which was "Wly
it we here until we die?'
Following the collection there
vas to have been a baptism Of man
md wife. Some of The colored peos
ple. owing to the latcness Of the
syening, had left the church and
others were about 10 80. As the
pastor was arranging the pulpit pre-
'iratory TO beeinHing the baptismai
service, a woman in one Of the front
rows Of the left side Of the altar gave
i loud shrek of "fre.' Instantly
Ill those about her were on their
feet looking for The blaze. There
yerc no flames in sight, but those
near the pulpit NsmelIed smoke and
'tarted down the aisle toward tie
pulpit. Then followed half dozen
rries Of fire and the whole congrega-
tion instantly became panic stricken.
The pastor by this time realized the
seriousness Of the situation and in a,
loud voice which only added to the
confusion, called TO the terror striek-
N people to be seated. No one lis
tened and despite his frantic appeal
4 rush started that meant death to
many that were in it.
, All the rear Of the church on the
second floor there is a wide doorway
vhich leads to the stairway ON each
side Of the building. Each stairway
has sharp bend, which proved to be
one Of the principal contrihutory
,anses for the jam. The front on
the first floor is wide and easy OF
exit.
When the rush started those in
lie middle Of the church did not
fully realize what was wrong and
we're slow to move. The frantic
,lirieking Of the women and children
became louder and more general and
many we're knocked down in the two
,isles Of the church. Then came the
terrible rush down the stairways.
For some unknown reason every
body tried to get down the left side
Of the building, comparatively few
attempting to leave BY The right
stairway. One eye witness said that
perhaps a dozen persons got safely
down the stairs, when several people
tripped and fell and caused the mar
row way to become iammed. Sew
eral Of the men on the first floor at
tempted to hold the people back, but
were knocked down. The weaker
ones fell only to be trampled upon
and crushed by those coming from
behind.

GULF STREAM
BRINGS SUMMER

The present spell OF weather is the
Warmest known in many years. Sat
urday and Sunday the thermometer
stood at 10 degrees in the shade.
The reason assigned for this, by
scientists, is thsiVthe North Atlantic
Gulf Stream, which usually flows
about 900 miles out is now running
close to the coast line. Should this
continue then we viii have warm
weather, so long as it does. In the
event Of a cold wave setting in from
the northwest, while the>present con-
ditions prevail terrific storms may
be expected. Should the Gulf
stream continue to flow in its pres
ent location we can postpone that

RANK SOPHISTRY.

The Post complains that public opinion
holds the Western Federation OF Miners
resnonsible for the murders traced to the
officials of that organization, and rea'
sons that. as Harry Orchard is Mason,
and that fraternity is not accused OF COM
p,;citv in those murders, neither should
the Miners Union he deemed ar'onnta-
BILE for the actions OF its members.
This is the rankest sophistry, and, in
it's use, we do not believe the Post rep
resents the mind of the Union men on
Gravs Uarbor. Ii the murdered men
had bee enemies OF the Masonic order ;
if the murderers were the highest officers
of that order, in full control of its funds !;
il its funds were used to hire assassins.
and when detected the lodges throughout
the country were raising money, nHt 70
enforce the laws Of HE land, but TO secure
immunity for the assassins, none but the
bipoted would fail to hold that fraternity
responsible.
This is the attitude in which the
Miners Union Ia presented to the public
mind. and it rests with that organization
to 80 act as to change it. That the Union
should contribute for the employment OF
able counsel for the defense is no more
than proper, but, to remove the impress
sion that the orgarization as whole
was, directly or indirectly, the instigator
of the alleged crimes, it will be necessary
that counsel engaged by it shall be open
" and trutIiully instructed to discover
the innocence or guilt of the accused,
and ACT so as to secure exact justice.
To raise large sums OF money, with
which to bubble, with view to evading
the Just penalties of the law, will be
likely to create in the public mind a
horror OF unionism that will require years
to remove. We believe that Il vast ma
ioritv Of unirn men are law abiding, law

men next.

VALUABLE INVENTION.
Thos. e. Going of N0ntesanO InventS
Valuable attachment.


Thos. E. Going. OF Montesano, dealer
in logging engines and loggers' supplies,
is the inventor OF an improved draft at
tachment for loggir & engines which is
rapidly coming into use on all engines
1t is now put IN all engines manufac'
tured by the Washington Iron Works
Co. OF Seattle, and Mr.. Going is putting
it on a large number Of old engines in
this county.
In the larger type Of boilers, as used
on logging engines, two.thirds Of the
heating surface is in the outer half OF the
tubes. This heating surface lacks eff
cheney on account OF lack of draft through
these tubes. Any logging engineer has
noted how these tubes will become clog
ged, while center tubes are clear.
10 give an even draft through all the
tubes of the boiler, Mr. Going has de-
signed an improved type OF draft attach.
ment, consisting OF an iron cone and at.
tache steam pipe.
This draft attachment, when put in
the dome of the boiler, will spread the
exhaust and create an even distribution
OF draft in all the tubes, increasing the
steam efficiency of boilers twenty-five
per cent.
BY slight changes in piping, this blow.
er can be applied to any logging engine
boiler. The blower also acts as a spark
arrester, thus preventing forest fires.
o. +. Mckinney, OF this city, an old
railroad engineer. has charge of the work
Of installing these attachments on old
engines, and has all he can do to fill
orders -Nidette.

A Good Dill That Died.

The Springfield Republican guesses
that Senator William +. Chandler must
feel glow of satisfaction that almost
his last act in the United States senate,
before he retired III March, 1901, was
to introduce Il bill prohibiting the con
tribution of funds to political parties
by any national bank or corporation
engaged in interstate commerce. The
Chandler bill also declared unlawful Il
money contribution by any corporation
whatever in political campaigns hav-
ing for their object the election of rep
resentatives or senators i'll congress-.
The bill died after the senator's retire
ment from public life.
