PANIC IN A CHURCH AT LIVERPOOL.
On January 23, while the evening service was in progress, a drunken man created a disturbance in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Chapel, Liverpool. During the excitement some persons cried -'Fire!" The crowded congregation rushed en masse to the doors. After the crush had passed, 16 dead dodies, all grown up, were found, and a number were badly hurt. Twelve of the bodies have been identified. Active efforts are making to dis cover the men who cried " Fire !" and raised the disturbance.
