The Scene of a Fearful
Stampede Caused by
Cry of Fire.
Eighteen Persons Trampled to Death
and Many More Injured—Preacher
Had Just Finished Sermon and Col
lection Was Being Taken When
There Was a Cry of Fire.
Philadelphia, Jan. 22.—A wild panic,
following a loud shriek of “Firo!”
brought death to eighteen colored
persons and injuries to nearly two
score of others last night in St. PauVs
Baptist church, on the west 3lde of
Eighth street, between Poplar street
end Girard avenue.
The terrible rush to gain the street
was of brief duration, and that more
were not killed in the stampede was
probably due to the fact that the
church was not crowded. Not more
than 200 persons were on the second
floor of the building, which with the
gallery was capable of accommodating
000 to 700. The fire was a trifling one
and was extinguished before the fire
men arrived.
The smell of smoke added to the
panic, and despite the heroic work of
the Rev. E. W. Johnson, tho pastor of
the church, who tried in vain to allay
the fears of the frightened worship
pers, tl\e terror-stricken people made
a desperate rush to leave the church,
only to be choken up on the narrow
stairway.
Those in the rear leaped over the
prostrate forms of those who fell and
when the rush was over, eighteen lay
dead on the first floor and stairs of
tl\e building. Deefth in nearly every
case was due to suffocation or tramp-'
ling. j
The disaster occurred while the col
lection was being taken up. The pas
tor had just concluded ills sermon,
the text of which was: “Why Sit We
Here Until We Die?”
Follgjving the collection there was
to have been a baptism of a man and
wife. Some of the colored people,
owing to the lateness of the hour, had
left the church, and others were about
to go.
As the pastor was arranging the
pulpit preparatory to beginning the
baptismal service, a woman in one
of the front rows of the left side of
the altar gave a loud shriek of “Fire.”
Instantly all those about her were on
their feet, looking for the blaze.
There were no flames in sight, but
those near the pulpit smelled smoke
and started^down the aisle toward the
pulpit
Then followed a half-dozen cries of
“Fire,” and the whole congregation
V.
became panic-stricken. The pastor, in
a loud voice, which only added to the
confusion, called to tho terror-stricken
people to bo seated. No one listened,
and despite his frantic appeals, a rush
started, that meant death to many that
were in it.
The fire was a most trifling affair.
A defective flue started a small fire
in the chimney, which caused smoke
to issue through the crevices in tho
second floor. There was no fire in the
building when the firemen set to
work.

Improving the Hack Service.
Chief Tom James, who was elected
hack inspector by the City Council at
the first of the year, has been doing
his level best to improve the hack ser
vice of the city, and has so far suc
ceeded that he is entitled to the
thanks of a grateful public. A num
ber of old broken-down hacks—about
a dozen in all—have been ordered out
of service, and new vehicles have
taken their places. Cabs have made
their appearance and become imme
diately popular, the result being com-
potitton which the hackmen have been
obliged to meet by employing better
vehicles and faster horses.
On account of the fact that there is
no street-car line in Albany, the pub
lic is largely dependent on the hacks
and cabs, and it is to the interest of
all concerned that the service be
good.
Polo at the skating rink tonight.
The negroes of the city will give
a barnar on February 22 and 23 for
the benefit of the proposed Albany
charity hospital.
‘The Ladies at Horae” (colored),
which is a local branch of the Negro
Woman’s Federation, of which Book
er T. Washington’s wife is president,
is at the head of the movement, and
work has already begun.
The bazaar, as planned, will be held
in the hall above the People’s Trad
ing Co., on Jackson street.
Those in charge have not decided
upon many of the details yet, but
they have determined definitely to
hold the bazaar on the dates men
tioned above, the first being \yashing-
ton’s birthday.
In all charity hospitals, a section,, is
set aside for negroes, and the negroes
think. it nothing but right that they
should do their share toward raising
funds for its establishment and main
tenance.
Some Turnips.
Mr. W. A. Broadaway brought to
The Herald today, with the compli
ments of Mr. W. T. Gaissert, of East
Dougherty, two turnips of the cow-
horn variety that would make those
big Colquitt county turnips that Edi
tor Allem of Moultrie, has been blow
ing about, look like slick dimes. These
East Dougherty turnips are well-
named, for they are long, and one of
them is crooked just enough to give
it the shape of a cow-horn. Horns
that grow on cows don’t grow to be
ns large as these turnips, however.
Johnny: “Paw, did Moses have the
dyspepsia like What you’ve got?” Fa
ther: “How on earth do I know'?
What makes you ask such a ques
tion?” Johnny: “Why, our Sunday-
school teacher says the Lord gave
Moses two tablets.”
A Proposition to the Howell Voters.

tisement. *
A Smith voter can buy one as an
accommodation if taken this week.
