DIVISION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY The question of the division ot the diocese of Central Pennsylvania, the most important matter before die Ep iscopal diocesan convention, was speedily disposed of this morning. The committee reported in favor of the division suggested by Bishop Tal bot, and when the vote was taken,div ision carried unanimously. This means that a new diocese will be formed of the western portion, consisting of Harrisburg and Willianisport. 1 hi' arch dcaconries of Scranton and Head mg remain in the old diocese. The matter of the division of the diocese had been made a special order at 10:30 o'clock. At that time the report of the committee was read. The committee unanimously favored the division and suggested in its report that the new diocese should embrace the archdeaconries of W illiamspoit and Harrisburg, including the follow ing counties: Potter, Tioga, Clinton, Lycoming, Sullivan, Centre, 1 nion, Northumberland, Montour, Columbia, Blair, Hantingdon, Mifflin, Snyder, Juniata Perry, Cumberland, Dauphin, Bedford, Fulton, Franklin, Adams, York and Lancaster. The report also included resolution providing that the episcopal endow ment should bo divided between the two new dioceses each receiving that portion that had been subscribed by communicants of the parishes within its borders. Provision was also made for committees of five members in each of the dioceses to take such ac tion in the matter as might be neces sary iu the completion of the division, in case it can be accomplished bvfore the meeting next year. The expected discussion of the re port of the committee did not mater ialize. Tliero were several speeches, and one amendment was offered chang ing Lancaster from the new to the old; but the amendment was lost and a vote called for. Because of the fact that several delegates did not know that the original question was being put, two votes were taken. The first time there were but a few scattering "noes," and the second time it was unanimously carried. Willianisport Sun. SPECIAL EXCURSION TO SHAMOKIN Montour Castle, Knights of the Gold en Eagle, will run a special train to Shamokin via Reading Railway on Saturday evening, June 2ath. for tho purpose of witnessing Pain's Destruc tion of Pompeii to be given at Edge wood Park on that date. Round trip tickets 112 1.00. Special train will leave Danville at sp. m. t returning leave Shamokin at 11:15 p. m. This will afford our citizens, an opportunity of a lifetime to witness one of these famous open-air dis plays, which has heretofore been given in few cities in this section, and those of the larger class prin cipally. To those who have never witnessed one of these big Pain shows ttie experience is as novel as it is en joyable. They are so unlike anything else in the amusement line,and so vast and expensive in their scope that the spectator involuntarily admires the daring and ingenuity of the men who are responsible for them. They are a kaleidescope of acres of handsomely painted scenery, hundreds of gaily costumed performers, daring chariot racing, acrobats, bewitching dancers, stirring music,gorgeous pageants,glar ing lights and generous explosions of powder and a myriad ot marvelously beautiful pyrotechnics. The exhibition is an interesting one, and depicts in a thrilling, interesting manner, one of the most tragic episodes in Roman his tory; the destruction of ancient Pom peii by the volcano of Vesuvius. This latter feature is depicted in a startling manuer.and the spectator trembles for the safety of the hundreds of actors who are seemingly buried beneath the fiery debris of the fallen city. Follow ing this scene of chaos and destruction comes the real event of the night—a brilliant display of Pain's Manhattan Beach fireworks,and tor nearly an hour ttie huge amphitheatre and the space above it is ablaze with beautiful and novel designs of pyrotechny. Tiie big " Pompeii" amphitheatre has a com fortable seating capacity for fully teu thousand people, arid visitors will find every reasonable precaution and con venience provided for their comfort and safety. VLADIVOSTOK FLEET ENGAGES JAPANESE IN KOREAN STRAITS LONDON, June 15.

IBS PERISHED ' BY IE ■ IB ON AN EXCURSION STEAHER NEAR NEW YORK YES 1 ER DAY--HORRIBLE SCENES FOLLOW ED ALARM OF FIRE ON VESSEL—FULLY FIVE HUNDRED LOST THEIR LIVES. NEW YORK, Jane 15.—The steamship General Slocnm, carrying the Su:ida\ -■ hool excursion ot St. Mark's German Lutheran Church, caught lire in |in- Ka-t River oil Hell Gate this morning and was burned to the water's edge, about five bunked persons perishing. Person* oil trig boats say that several hundred bodies have been washed i-hoiv cr towi d or carried in boats to the shore of North Brothers' Island Almost everx i t!n r woman wlio was taken away was calling tor her children. The disaster was witues-od by thousands of people from both shores of the river, and a- rapidly as possible hundreds ot small boats and launches set j off to render as-isfance. With the boat burning under bis feet the captain stuck to I .i< past in the pilot house, and the engineer remained at lus post be low decks until the boat was beached at the lower end of North Brothers' Is land off Pott Morris. BOAT WAS A FIERY FURNACE. Even then the passengers were not', in a safe position as they were some , distance from shore and the boat was , ( a lierv furnace. Hundreds of small . boats were scatt r d about and picked | up tlio-e who jumped overboard as , rapidly a- possible. It is estimated ( that bet we n 100 and 500 J pie jump- , ed into the water. I An «ye witnes.- said lb it the great- | est loss of life was due to the collap- i sing of 11heavy upper deck. It fell with a ci ish soou after the tire start ed, crushing hundreds of persons who . had gathered out the lower deck. , It was then that the gieatest panic ensued amid the living stream of per sons going over the rail into the wat er. As far as eye witnesses can de termine the flames originated on the forward part < t the boat. Persons that saw the 11 ones from tho'•bore say that almost instantly persons who occupied places on the forward deck began to jump overboard. Policemen in the Bion\ saw the blazing boat steaming up the river and immediately began to turn in an alarm for ambulances and lire boats. MANY CHI LB BEN DKOWNED. All the boats at North Brothers' Island were » nt to the assistance ol the people in the wafer, and a- fast as they were brought ashore w> re cared for in the pavilions there. ine patients in mo Hospitals on the i.-l ind became almost insane from fright at the t rrible scenes they had witnessed. A large part of the crowd on the doomed steamer were children and} there was little hope lor them after they had gone overboard. The current in tho Kast River at this point is very strong and scores of little ones wore sucked in by the whirlpools at Hell Gate. One man, who went out in a row boat, said that ho saw at least lifty children perish in these wliiil pools before lie could reach them. An eve-witnes.- who saw much of i what happened to tho boat, said: "The steamer's whistle was blowing for assistance as she came up the riv- I er. I saw several persons jump into, the wat r before -lie was headed for the northwest shore of North Brothers Island. Her position in the water made it fin possible fur those aboard of her to reach land except by swimming. I saw perhaps fifty or a hundred per sons, mostly woni n and children, jump overboard. Most of the throng was on the hurricane deck when we plainly saw a portion of it collapse. Many niu-t have been killed instant 'y-" NINETY PHYSICIANS NEEDED. Suporint ndeiit Kickard, of Bel levue hospital, sent word to the offic ials of the institution on Ward's Island to send all the doctors thoy could spare to the scene and ninety physicians were sent. The Chaiities department has dispatched its two boats to the scene. It was impossible to run the boat ashore because of the Hell Gate rocks on either side and the captain kept her headed for North Brothers' Island. Nothing could he done in the way of launching bo ats and as the flames ad vanced the passengers began to jump overboard. They went into the river by hundreds. Tho General Slocum was bound for Locust Grove, beyond Flushing, L I, and had over 1,000 peop'o on board, mostly children. The latest report is that at let V) 0 have h en burned. SCBKAMS SOUL HARROWING. The Slocum was proceeding up tho river to one of the many resorts of f.ong bland S iund, when near lg~»tli street persons on shore saw smoke and flames spring from the upper | art of the crowded steamer.

Many doctors and various kidney remedies, pive me no relief, f'.ut I finally bought a bottle of Cal-eura Solvent of my . druggist, used a few hot Hex, and lam rural.'' j Ed on the lnat almost instantly. The crowds on the forward deck began to I spring overboard or to crowd to the afterpart of the boat. The screams of the terrified passeng ers could be heard on shore and hun dreds of small boats immediately put off to the rescue. The captain struck to his post at the wheel and headed the vessel straight up the river for J North Brother island, where she was nut aground in the slillow water. Several hundred feet of open water -till lay between the burning steamer and the shore and many persons per ished either in the water or on the burning vessel, after she had been beached. It is estimated that the steamer carried more than 2,000 per sons. She was the largest excursion steamer in these waters and could carry 4,000 passengers. The excursion was in charge of the social committee of the church, head ed by Miss Mary Abendschein. In the minister's party, his sou said, were the pastor. Miss Abendsehein,assistant superintendent Carl Anger, William Schlafer. the pastor's daughter, Gort rude, bis sister. Miss Km ma Haas,and W. B. Tetamore. At the office of the Unit >d States steamboat inspection bureau it was I said the. General Slocum was inspected on May 5, and was reported to be in thoroughly good condition and ready for the excursion season. Aboard the steamer was all the life saving ap paratus required by law of steamers of her capacity. The General Slocum licensed Cap j tain is Captain W. 11. Van Sliaick, one of the oldest excursion captains in New York harbor waters The Slocum sailed from the foot o f Third street Kast river shortly after ;• o'clock. The exact point she bad reached when the flames were discov ered in the foreward part of the boat, was off the "Sunken Meadows," at the extreme east end of Randall's Is j land. So quickly was tho spread of I the flames that the Captain of the : Slocum could not turn and was forced (to make head on for North Brothers' ! Island under lull steam. By the time the Slocum reached One Hundred and Thirty fifth street, the excursionists, driven to the rail,many of them with their clothing on fire, began to jump overboard by twos and threes. When One Hundred and Thir ty-eighth street had been reached, the heat from the lire had become so iu teuse that men, women and children plunged overboard by the score. There was a territio crash when the boat was beached at the reef at tho northern end of North Brother Island, where she rapidly burned to the wat er's edge. It is said the tire started in tho lunch counter in the forward part of the boat. When the alarm spread among the passengers the hurricane deck was crowded, and when off One Hundred and Thirtyeighth street this deck collapsed. Many persons were thrown into tho wat r, hut hundreds were precipitated into the lower deck, which was itself a mass of women and children. Tho police reserves of a half dozen stations were hurried out and more than fifty patrol wagons were sent for ambulances purposes. North Brother island, where the Slocum was beached, is occupied by municipal charity hospitals and a con siderable number of physicians and nurses were immediately available. Many of those picked up alive in the river will die in the hospitals. Most of them were frightfully burned hav ijig delayed leaping from the boat un til their clothing was on tire. Some died in the linprovi-ed am bulances in which they were hurried from the shore. Every man on board who could stvim went overboard loaded down with children. Many of these heroes lost j their lives, because burdened as they were they could make no headway | against the overpowering tide as it rushes from the Kast Kiver into the sound. Growing Weaker.
