Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 22.--Eighteen persons were trampled to death and fifty more were injured Sunday even­ ing In a panic following a cry of "Fire" In St. Paul's Colored Baptist church In Eighth street, near Glrard avenue. The worshipers were on the second floor of the building, and the deaths occurred in the crush on the narrow, winding stairs. Most of the victims were women and children. In the height of the panic men knocked down and trampled on the weaker members of the congrega­ tion, mothers threw away their babies In order to escape themselves, and all their primitive passions were revealed in the wild scramble for safety. Scores of the worshipers rushed to the north stairway, In which there was a sharp turn. The struggling per­ sons became wedged at the turn, and the railing gave way, precipitating scores to the floor below. Others leaped upon the prostrate bodies and made their way. to the street. Only one man of all those in the congrega­ tion perished, and he was killed by leaping out of a window. , , Woman 8tarts Panic, The panic was canned by ft small blaze in the room below the church. The pastor, Rev. E. W. Johnson, had just concluded a sermon on the text, "Why Sit We Here and Die?" and the collection was being taken, when a woman in the front of the church saw smoke coming from a crack in the floor near the pulpit and shouted the alarm. Instantly the cry was taken up by others and in a moment the whole congregation joined in a rush for the doors. The pastor tried in vain to stem the tide. He exhorted his congregation to remain calm, but to no avail. Finally, seeing that he could do nothing, he led a hundred of the worshipers who heeded his advice to safety by means of a rear stairway, and not one was injured. At the front of the church, however, the scenes were vastly different, Men and women tore the clothes from each other's backs as they sought to gain the stairs. In the first rush several woiren and children fell, and orer their bodies the frantic throng poured, some being tripped as they went, and soon the entire stairway was covered with prostrate forms. It became a case of the survival of the strongest. Mother Drops Babe, la spite of the crush on the stafrs it was only a few moments before the 400 uninjured members of the congte~ gation reached the street. There the1 excitement prevented any attempt at rescue until the arrival of the fire­ men and police. Women, nearly nude, ran about ringing their hands and calling for missing loved ones. Men strong and willing, lacked the direct­ ing brain, and stood idly by. When the fire department arrived the work of rescue began. In the hall­ way on the first floor lay a heap of bodies, the living and dead mingled. The living were hurried !nto ambu­ lances and taken to hospitals, and the dead were removed to nearby morgues. On the stairway, under a heap of bodies, was that of a baby which probably had been dropped by its mother in her flight. On the floor below a 3-year-old boy lay dead, his features trampled beyond recognition. Fight Against Death. The injuries of those who had escaped death showed how frightful the struggle for life had been. Bones were broken and features were bat­ tered and scratched by heavy boot heels. Finger marks showed that in the struggle those fighting for their lives had not heeded the lives of others. The Are in the room under the church was quickly extinguished, and did little damage. The police Investi­ gated the report that the church was overcrowded, but could not substan­ tiate ^ it. The pastor Insisted that it was little more than half filled, and that there was no occasion for any­ one being Injured if the congregation had remained calm. Not more than half of the dead were identified to-night. The excite­ ment in the negro quarter was so great that the police had great diffi­ culty In gaining information. Around the hospital there were heartrending scenes, many persons seeking news of relatives who were missing. WEEKLY TRAOE REVIEW SHOWS CUT IN STOCKS Seasonable Weather Proves Boon to Retailers, Whose Empty 8helves Encourage Jobbers. Chicago, special: Dunn's weekly re­ view of Chicago trade says:: "The commercial position maintains exceptional strength. More season­ able weather brought a good demand for winter apparel and household needs and retail trade generally ex­ perienced a sharp reduction of stocks which hitherto moved slowly owing to comparatively mild temperature Construction work is impeded but slightly, nor has there been interrup­ tion to unprecedented consumption of all kinds of building, material. Man ufacturlng moves forward very stead­ ily, with the outlook of the year most encouraging. "Factory operations disclose more activity in implements, heavy hard­ ware and electric output, and there is a fair request for heavy machinery, automobiles and vehicles. In the leather working linea most activity appears in shoe and belting factories, but orders increase for saddlerv, trunks and specialties. "Distributive branches of general merchandise report satisfactory condi­ tions. Mail orders for spring deliv­ ery come forward In good volume for the principal staples. Interior mer­ chants are buying confidently, many requiring early shipments, and house sales are stimulated by increasing numbers of visiting buyers.

EMPLOYER REFUSED TO S Irate Seaman Notifies Firm of Marine Insurance Brokers That Furnish­ ings of Boat Were Reputve^, and Case Goes to Court. New York, dispatch: Capt. James Cardiff of Mrs. Susan Day Parker's steam yacht Scythian, testified in the United States circuit court that he deliberately had kindled a fire which burned the steamer at sea on June 6, 1900. Dr. Charles T. Parker, who was married three months before the fire, offered him $5,000 to burn the boat, he said, and later $10,000, but afterward had refused to carry out his side of the bargain. Capt. Cardiff gave tlirtSg testimony in the suit brought against Mrs. Parker by the Liverpool and London ani Globe Insurance company to recover $5,800. This is the value of the furni­ ture on which Mrs. Parker secured a payment of 121,000 iaBarance. She had removed it before the fire oc- cured, they alleged. Furnishings Are Carxted Off. Capt. Cardiff said that In May, 1900, Dr. Parker ordered' him to remove nearly all the brlc-a-brae and interior furnishings of the boat. Part of these he sent to the Plaza hotel, this city, he swore, and part to Mrs. Parker's house in West Fifty-first street. An­ other lot had been' left? at their sum­ mer home at Whitestone, L. I. He took the yacht to sea practically stripped of domestic furniture, saicE Cardiff. We sailed out of Oyster Bay for Boston," he said, "and I' set ft afire off Marlboro Head. The crew were not in on the deal, and tried; to put it out. It was no use, and a tug, the A. W. Chesterton, later took us off and towed the yacht, badly damaged;, into Boston harbor. After the fire r cashed a ekeck for $100 Dr. Parker had given; nsce. I often had asked him for the whole amount, but he never paid! up; Three years after the fire he discharged me." 'What did he discharge you for?" was asked. Prosecution 1 suppose because he thought ha had nothing to fear from: ma It being impossible to prosecute far arson at sea after that, I believe*" Cardiff later testified that when Dr. Parker finally had refused to give him the money Ije had' gone to a firm of marine insurance brokers with the story, one f t whom he knew had a grudge against Parker; They had com­ municated with the insurance com­ pany, which thereupon- brought action to recover the value- of the furniture.

One attack, after another had failed, and the cross* examiner was beginning to despair when suddenly his clerk handed up a^ scrap of paper on which were- writ­ ten the three words "BoroughToad --Arsou."

"A little widow, a neighbor of mine, persuaded me ta. try Gxape-Nata when my stomach, waa so weak that it would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateftd woasan. from San Bernardino. Cot, CaL "I had been ill and confined to my bed with, fever and nervous prostra­ tion for three long months after the birth o£ my second boy. We were in despair- until; the little widow's advics brought relief. "I liked Grape-Nuts food from tha beginning, and in an incredibly short time it gave me such strength that I was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In two months my weight increased from 95 to-113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to see me gain so rapidly and still more so when they heard that Grape-Nats alone had brought the change. "My 4-year-old boy had eczema, very bad, last spring and lost his ap­ petite entirely, which made him cross and peevish. I put him on a diet of Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once. He improved from the beginning, the eczema disappeared and now he is fat and rosy, with a delightfully soft, clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. I will willingly answer all in­ quiries."
