CRASH OF HUMANITY,
Awful Stampede In a Southern
Colored Church.
Trade Conditions Dropped a Bomb
Tragic Dsath of Banker Reservoir
Burst Mr. Hay's Note Speaker
Henderson Declines Kent Held For
Murder Devery Elected.
In an awful crash of humanity at
Eli'iiiingham, Ala., caused by a stam-jH-.le
in the Shlloh colored Bap
tist church, at the corner of Avenue
(1 an J lvh street Friday night, 115 per
sons wore killed and many more than
that number seriously injured.
The disaster occurred at 9 o'clock,
Just as Ilouker T. Washington had con
cluded his address to the national con
vention of rolored Baptist and for
three hours the scenes aiound the
church were Indescribable. Dead
bodies were strewn In every direction
nn the ambulance service of the city
was utterly unable to care for them.
Dozens of dead bjdles were arranged
in rows on the ground outside the
house of worship awaiting removal to
the various- undertaking' establish
ments, while more than a score were
laid cut on the benches inside.
Shlloh church is the largest house
of wmshlp for negroes In HlrnilnRham
and there were at least 2.000 persons
in the e'lflce when the stampede be
gan. The entranco to tho church was lit
erally packed, and the negroes were
trampled to death In their struggles to
circpe.
II ol:er T. Washington had Just con
rinded his address whpn Judge Dillon
a ne;;io lawyer frcm Raltimoro, en
gage! in a dispute with the choir lead
er concerning an unoccupied seat. It
Is paid a blow was struck. Some one
In the choir cried "they're Oishtlng."
Mistaking the word 'fighting" fol
"fire" the congregation rose en masse
and started for the door.
Farmers Market Products Slowly.
Ilradstieel's says of the condition of
busine.-s:
Jobbing distribution continues very
active and retail business Is Improv
ing. Now that the corn crop Is prac
tically made, and tho only possible
changes ore thoFe of quality, the dis
position to book fall and winter or
ders Is unrestrained at the West and
North wr?t.
Tho selling position seems to be the
strongest side ot the price situation,
except possibly In the cereals and ag
ricultural products generally. Evan
here the flue financial position of farm
ers enables them ta market their pro
ducts slowly, and no accumulation ot
moment Is recorded except In cattle
receipts, which this week surpassed
all records.
The coal situation deserves notice
The delay In the ending of the an
thracite coal strike throws Increased
pressure on the bituminous product,
and prices for that article are now at
least one-quarter higher than the low
point before, ihe strike began. An
thracite production Is slowly but sure
ly increasing as more mines and min
ers go to work, but the necessities ol
some retail buyers make for fancy
prices for what Is left A king seasou
at full tlnie will be necessary to re
store stocks of anthracite to old di
mensions. The cereals diifted lower this week
because of larger receipts of wheat
aud oat, and apparent discounting ol
reports of frost damage to corn which
were se-it odt last week and noted In
this column. S vtembor corn Is lower
at New York because of approximately
liberal supplies likely to come forward
before ,lhe end of the month. Other
farm products are lower.
Cattle receipts, mostly grass fed
animals, are unprece.ientedly heavy
at airfnnrfcots, and prices are weaker.

Dynamiter Dropped a Bomb.
A special from Skaway, Alaska,
says about 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
an unknown man walked Into the Can
adian Uank of Cuinmerce, a revolver in
one hand and a dynamite bomb in the
other, and tiemau led 2o,ooo, threaten
ing to blow all into eternity.
Cashier Pooley and Teller Wallace
were the only two men In the bank.
Wallace ducked to get his gun aud
ran quickly to the back of the room,
calling for Pooley to do tha same.
"No you don't," yelled the man, and
iropped the bomb.
The clerks had Just gotten out of the
window. The bank was wrecked. The
robber's head was smashed anil one
arm was torn off. People livi".g pb?s
the bank were blown Into the air.
JuJge Price, formerly prosecuting at
torney, who was entering the bank at
the time, was hurt hut not seriously.
The dynamiter died without regain
ing consciousness. The bank lost
about a thousand dollars, chiefly in
gidd dust which was lying on the coun
ter. Tragic Ceath of Prominent Banker.
Nicholas Fish, a prominent banker
of New York city and son of Hamilton
Fish, secretary of the treasury under
President Grant, died at tho Itoosevelt
hospital Tuesday morning from cere
bral hemorrhage.
His death was caused by a fall on
the pavement in front of a saloon after
an altercation with a stranger, who
Is believed to have struck him.
Mr. Fish was drinking in the sa
loon with two women and was after
wards joined by a man who proved to
bo Detective Thomas J. Sharkey. A

afterward found lying unconscious on
tho pavement. Sharkey has been held

Utlca Reservoir Burst.
One of the five reservoirs supplying
water to Utlca burst Tuesday after
noon and sent millions of gallons ol
water on a mission of destruction
through the eastern suburbs.
The people living along Ferguson's
creek and Starch Factory creek were
notified of the danger In advance. The
small creeks were transformed Into
raging torrents.
Houses were hurled from their foun
dations, trees uprooted and consider
able livestock was caught In the tor
rent and hurled to destruction. Many
Vldges were swept away with their
abutments. Many narrow escapes from
drow ning are reported. Damage is es
timated at $50,000.
Acting on Mr. Hay's Note.
The German foreign office in ner
lln has received a note from the
British government luvitlng some ac
tion on the part of tho signatories of
tho treaty of Horlln of 1878 regarding
Roumanla's treatment of Jews. The
rsritlsh note is shorter than that of the
United States on the same subject, but
it pursues tho same end. It is as
sumed that Greit Britain knew oi
the United States' step beforehand and
acted In support thereof. The United
States' action is regarded as being
quite within her rights, In seeking the
assistance of the signatories In pre
venting an Influx of Indigent Immi
grants, whk'h is recognized as a sub
stantial giievance.
Lieutenant Peary Returned.
Herbert llrldgenian, secretary ol

tenant It. E. Peary, the Arctic ex
plorer, dated Chateau Bay, Labrador.

Pole July 4, 18tt. Mr. Bridgman left
Lieutenant Peary at Cape Sabine on
the 29th of August, 19U1. The relief
ship Windward left New York In July
last to find the Peary expedition and
has evidently been successful.

SLATE IS NOT BROKEN,
Persistent Rumor That Wood
ruff Would Bt Nominated.
Erie Fallowed and Mr. Sheldon's Nom
ination Is Assured Secretary ol
State Still Open Advocates of Canal
Improvement Will Secure Endorse
ment of Barge Canal.
Saratoga, Sept. 23 The first real
flutter of excitement about the corri
dors where the convention delegates
aro assemble 1 occurred when a rumoi
Went about thai the slate had been
broken. It was just as the state com
mittee adjourned that the rumor was
circulated.
It came suddenly upon tho close ot
an exceedingly quiet day, when the
differences existing over the lieutenant
governorship seemed to have been ad
justed.
George R. Sheldon, Ihe prospective
candidate for that office, after spend
Ing several hours receiving his friends
loft his headquarters to go to dinner
Emanating from a point suspiciously
close to the Kings county and Lieuten
ant Governor Woodruff's he? 'quarters
there came an announcement that Mr
Sheldon had been told to withdraw and
that the ticket would Include the
name-! of Timothy L. Woodruff foi
lieutenant governor and Anson G
McCook for secretary of state.
The rumor grew as it circulated and
took on different phases. All the
Kinss county delegates who were In
diistrlously spreading the story, did
not arce as to the new slate. Some
Woodruff men alleged that Senatoi
Frank Higglns of Olean was to be
nominated for lieutenant governor and
Mr. McCook for secretary of state
Another set had It that General Mc
Cook was to be the nominee for lieu
tenant governor and that Senatoi
James B. McEwab of Albany was tc
be the candidate for secretary of state
And as the rumor spread and the
delegates excitedly swarmed aboul
headquarters looking for Information
several things occurred that helped
bear cut at least the suggestion thai
there was something brewing.
Mr. Sheldon Could Not Be Found.
Mr. Sheldon, who had been close tc
his quarters all day long, suddenly
disappeared and could not be found
by his slaunchest adherents. From the
Woodruff headquarters came a story
that Mr. Sheldon had sent word that
if Mr. Woodruff would not be a can
didate he also would withdraw.
Nobody could say Just who the mes
sengcr was or whence the message
came but It alleged that It was sent
after Mr. Sheldon had conferred with
Mr. Piatt. Senator Piatt declined to
talk. He had heard the rumors, he
said, but he had not talked with Mr.
Sheldon.
Then Senator Depew, w ho had prom
ised that his speech nominating Mr.
Sheldon would be ready for the news
papermen during the evening, sent
word to them that he would not give
out the speech until morning.
By this time the delesates were In a
state of the utmost excitement. Chair
man Dunn of the state committee
could not give any Information. Con
gressman Southwlck, Congressman
Emerson. W. Barnes, dr., and even Na
tional Committeeman Gibbs all seem
ed to place great credence In the
rumors.
While the Kings county delesates ac
centuated the rumors and smiled In
glee, the ardent admirers of Mr. Shel
don, because of their candidate's ah
sence, coul I say nothing.
For an hour the rumor fight went
on and In the meanwhile the New York
city delegation started to hold Its
meeting. It waited for a while until
it could hoar from Mr. Piatt and the
news was evidently favoroble. for an
absolute endorsement of Mr. Sheldon
was made. Then leader Warren an
nounced that Erie would follow suit.
A few mlnutei after the atmosphere
had l.rgun to clear Mr. Sheldon arrive I
at his headquarters and after listening
to the story, said: "I have not been
asked to withdraw from the contest
for lieutenant governor. I have made no
overtures to Mr. Woodruff I do not
Intend to wl'hdriw and my name will
be presented to the convention."
Just then Gherardl Davis, who had
presented Mr. Sheldon's name to the
New York delegation, hurried in nnd
grasping the candidate's hand enthus
iastically exclaimed: Well, we en
dorse yon."
"Well, that settles It then," Mr.
Sheldon replied. "I'm nominated."
"Yes, but were'nt you afraid of the
McCook rumor?" asked Mr. Davis.
"No, I was not a bit afraid. I did
not teke the rumor at all seriously
and was not In the least dial orbed
by It."
To a press reporter. Mr. Sheldon
sail: "I will be nominated for lieu
tenant governor."
Meeting of New York Delegates.
The New York county delegation
met In the ballroom of the United
States hotel and pledged unswerving
supM)it to U. R. Sheldon for lieu
tenant governor. County Chairman
Robert C. Morris presided.
Previous to tho meeting Frederick
S. Gibbs, William M. Ten Eyck and
Mr. Morris hnd a hurried conlercnce.
When asked what they thought of the
McCi.ok report they said the New Yoik
delf -aticn was for .Mr. Sheldon. Mr.
Gibbs said: "There was something
In' the report but we are going alioa I
to endorse. Mr. Sheldon."
The meeting was a biief one. As
semblyman Gheraidl Davis read a
resolution endorsing Mr. Sheldon and
made a short speech The resolution
was unanimously adopted wltn a
citeer and the delegation adjourned.
The i ' te committee had a brief
sesilon. There were only a few absentee.-..
W. P. Phillips was In Row
Appleton's place and R. I. Sharkey In
John D. Post's. M. J. Dady did not
send an alternate.
There weie two vacancies caused by
the death of Hugh McRoberts and V.
J. Glenn, and G. J. Smith served In
Gilbeit Hasbrouck's absence. Tho
committee heard no contests and en
dorsed the temporary roll of the con
vention for the permanent organiza
tion. I.emiiPl Ely Qulgg of New York was
selected for temporary chairman of the
convention and the hour of the first
session was set for 12 o'clock on Tues
day. Tho committee then adjourned.
So far as could be learned nothing
has been settled in the way of a can
didate for secretary of state. James
B. MrEwon. Anson G. McCook and
John McDonough are mentioned, while
Candidate Mongin still is In tho race.
It. was said that Ihe position would be
offered to Klng3 county today.
Tho advocates of canal improvement
met and discussel plans for the canal
plank in the platform. They could not
agree on what form the resolution
should be put In, but It was the con
census of opinion that a l.Ooo-ton barge
canal is what is wanted.
The conference was a lengthy ona
and It was finally decided that a com
n ittee consisting of A. R. Hcfford of
New York, Franklin Edson of New
York, S. E. Fllklns of Medina, W. E.
Cleary of New York. N. B. Herbert ol
New York and G. N. Raymond of Buf
falo should draw up the resolution.
The resolution will be submitted to the
committee on resolutions today.
It will declare strongly for canal
Improvement and will favor a l.OoO
ten barge canal system. The advo
cate? of canal Improvement declare
that the plnnk that will bo Inserted In
the platform In regard to tho canals
will lie satisfactory to them.
HERRERA RETREATING.
Has Abandoned His Camp Near the
Isthmus.
Panama, Sept. 23. Government sol
diers who were capture! by General
Horrera at Agua Dulce and who were
compelled to join his army and who
succeeded In escaping have arrived
here. They confirm the report that
the whole revolutionary army has
abandoned its camp near Chorrera and
is retreating towards Agua Dulce.
It is reported that Herrera has In
corporated In his army all the guerrilla
bands he can Induce to join him.
The abandonment of the Chorrera
camp, It is claimed, dispels all fear
of an interruption of traffic on the
railroad line and renders It Impossible
for a battle to occur at Panama or
Colon.
Reinforcements of Colombian troops
continue to arrive on the Isthmus,
which it is alleged undoubtedly caused
General Herrera's retreat.

man to succeed Speaker Henderson re
