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

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.

June gives promise of redeeming
herself.
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. A panic ensn-

' years. Many doctors and various kidney

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.
