Panic IN CHURCH
KILLS EIGHTEEN
CRY OF FIRE" RAISED DURING
SERVICES IN PHILADELPHIA
PLACE OF WORSHIP.
Panic-Stricken Congregation Makes
Rush to Escape--People Knocked
Down and Trampled Upon-Eight-
cen Lives Are Thus Lost.

Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-Eighteen per-

services were being held on the second
floor of the building. A defective fue
set fire to the chimney, causing smoke
to issue through the crevices in the
floor near the pulpit. The room was
we'll filled at the time and the cry of
fire." coupled with the sight of the
smoke threw the congregation into a
panic.
Tranpled to Death.
A wild rush was made for the stairs.
despite the efforts of Rev. E. w. John
son, the pastor, to allay the fears of
the frenzied people. All wanted to get
out at once and men, women and chill
dren alike were knocked down and
trampled upon by those pushing from
behind. The stairway to the first floor
had one sharp turn in it and the
frightened people became so tightly
wedged in the bend of the stairs that
the frail wooden bannister gave way,
precipitating many to the first floor.
The crash and the screams and shrieks
of the women and children added to
the frenzy of those above. They did
not stop in their ownward rush to get
out. Notwithstanding the wide open
doors on the first landing to the street
the crush was so great that Is persons
had the life stamped out of them be-
fore the panic was ended. A general
alarm was sent in for ambulances, fire
men and policemen. In the mean
time the greatest confusion reigned.
Men and women ran about the streets
calling for missed loved ones. A great
crowd gathered and the work of rescue
was promptly started. Dead and in
jured were quickly taken to hospitals
and nearby houses. The fire was only
trifing, the flames being extinguished
before the firemen arrived.
