Awful Crush cf Humanity at Con
vention of Colored Baptists.
CHURCH STIIEWN WITH DEAD
AudTence, Mistaking Qry of Fight For
Fire, Made a Rush For the Door,
and People Were Trampled Upon
Like Cattle.
Birmingham, Ala., Srpt. 20. In an
awful crush of humanity caused by a
stampede in the Shiloh Colored Bap
tist church last night, 105 persons were
killed and as many more seriously in
jured. Thedisasteroo-jurredat 9 o'clork,
Just as Booker T. Washington had con
cluded his address to the National 1
Convention of Colored Baptists, and
for three hours the scenes around the
church were indescribable. Dead bodies
were strewn in every direction, and the 1
ambulance service of the city was ut
terly unable to move them until after j
1 o'clock this morning. The injured j
were attended to first, and meanwhile !
dozens of dead bodies were arranged in
rows on the ground outside, the house I
of worship awaiting removal to the
various undertaking establishments, I
while more than a score were laid out ;
on the benches inside.
Shiloh Church is the largest house
of worship for negroes In Birmingham,
and the pastor says there were at
least 2,'KiO persons in the edifice when
the stampede began. Instructions had
been Issued to allow no one else to
eater after the building had been filled,
but the negroes forced their way inside
the cnurch. and were standing in every
alle. Booker T. Washington had Just
concluded his address, when Judge
BIllou, a negro lawyer from Baltimore,
engaged in a dispute with the choir
leader concerning an unoccupied seat.
It is said a blow was struck. Some one
In the ihoir cried "They're fighting."
Mistaking the word "fighting" for
fire," the congregation rose enmasse
nd started for the door. One of the
ministers quickly mounted the ros
trum and a Imonished the people to
keep quiet. He repeated the word
"quiet" several tiras and motioned to
his hearers to be seated.
Th9 excited congregation mistook the
word "quiet" for a second alarm of fire
and again ruahed for the door. Men
and worn-': a crawled over benches and
fought their way into the aisles, and
ttoa-s who had fallen were trampled
nrn like cattle. The ministers tried 1
rain to step the Ftarv.pie, but no j
power oa ea.-.h could sta7 the Strug- j
glir.g raaa c f humanity. The -ream3 i
of the woo-.'-n and children add-d to
the horror of the son. Through mere '
frifcht rr.ariy per.-or.s fainted, and a.i j
they feil to the oor were crushed to
death.
The leTel of the floor of the church

could move others fell upon them, and
in a few moments persons were piled
upon each other to a height of ten feet,
where they struggled vainly to extri
cate themselves.
This wall of struggling humanity
blocked the entrance, and the weight of
l.Sim persons in the body of the church
was pushed against It. More than 20
perrons lylug on the steps underneath
the heap c bedies died from suffoca
ting. T!:- de-.d ';'.I'S wre c.'.:! kly moved,

who hnd (t::i;e to aid the injured was
sickening. Pown the aisles and along
the outside ot the pews the dead bodies
of men and women were strewn, and
the maimed and crippled uttered the
most heartrending cries. The work of
removing the bodies was begun at
once. The wails of the relatives of the
dead, who had waited on the outside,
could be heard for several blocks.
Most of the dead are women, and the
physicians say that in many cases they
fainted and died from suffocation. A
remarkable feature of the calamity is
that little or no blood was seen on any
of the victims. They were either
crushed or died from suffocation.
Killed His Father.
Woonsocket, R. I., Sept. 22. Be
cause he desired to protect his mother
from violent treatment at the hands
of her husband, and fearing also that
his own life was in danger, William
C. Bonin, aged 20 years, shot and
killed his father, John B. Bonin. aged
42 years, yesterday afternoon. The
tragedy occurred at the factory board
ing house of which his father was pro
prietor at Slatersville, North Smith
field. There were present at the time
also five small children of the family.
After the shooting young Bonin went
to bis room, put on his best clothes
and waited until the officer, who had
been called by his mother, came for
him.
Attempt to Wreck Czar's Train.
London. Sept. 23. In a dispatch
from St. Petersburg the correspond
ent there of the Daily Express reports
an attempt to derail the train UKn
which the Czar traveled from Kursk.
Ralls wen. removed on the two routes
which the Czar might travel; in one
instance the plot was discovered, and
in the other the train was wrecked.
Th,e Czar reached St. Petersburg in

Steered Airship Over London.
Ijndon. Sept 20. Stanley Spencer,
a well known English aeronaut, yes
terday successfully accomplished a re
markable flight over Ixjndon in an air
ship of his own Invention. It is esti
mated that, his ship travelled nearly
3 miles. He started from the Crystal
Palate and descended near Harrow.
The route taken by Spencer was over
Streatham, Clapham Common and the
smoky south side of the metropolis,
across the Thames, over the populous
Chelsea district across Kensington
and Earl s Court, out to Harrow and
then safely past the Forest building.
He executed an easy descent at the
little village of Eastcote.
Letter to V. W. Wittcnmyer.
Middlbbi-bci, Fenn'a. " i
Dear Sir: A banker's business
is to know pretty much everything.
Here's a part of it, well worth any
one's knowing.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint
that lasts twice as long as lead and
oil. Our agent sells it under this
guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find
with this paint, either now in put
ting it on, or hereafter in the wear,
tell your dealer about it.
''We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense."
If you get your house painted
with it, and it wears no better than
most lead and oil, yon will have
good cause to complaint; and we
roust pay damages. ,
This is the paint that looks as
good, and wears twice as long, as
lead and oil.
Yours truly,
30 F. W. Devoe & Co.
