; caused by the falling of a fivo-8tory,

j a larga congregation was assembled
I at vespers, and causing the death of
live persons and the wounding of
twenty-six others. v
ORIGIN OP THE DISASTEU.
! The New York papers contain' in
i teresting particulars of the frightful
I disaster. It seems that in January a
fire occurred next door to St. An
; drew's Church, in the five-story build
;. ing of James M. Shaw, and burned
: the upper stories to and through the
; roof. The weather was very cold "at
; tiie time, so that the water froze on
i the front of the building as it was
thrown from the engines. The heat
of the fire doubtless mjuerd tne high
i side brick walls of this building, and
lue waier- wnicn naa irozen ana
thawed and frozen again upon these
injured and exposed walls further
! weakened them. The thaw of th
i past few days had also helped to re-
uaue me sirengin oi tne wans, wnicu
had been left without further security
than the weakened beams to hold
themtogether. The high wind which
i sncceeded the rain storm on Thurs
; day evening, blowing from the east
ward, expended its full force on the
westerly wall of the burned store,and
blew g portion of it down upon the
; root or tne church, causing the
! strnction and loss of -life as
I nounced. 1
THE CRASH. !
de
an-
! The usual services of
I season were in progress,
the
the
Lenten
congre-
; gation numbering upwards of 1,200
. persons, the majority being women
-and .children.' Tne services were
conducted by Rev. Father Michael
Curran, pastor of the church, assis
ted by Rev. Father Flynn, the assist
ant pastor, and Father Caroll, of St.
Stephen's Church. The first portion
of the service had been concluded,
and Father Carroll was preaching a
sermon, when suddenly a low rumb
ling sound was heard, and in a mo
ment the northeast corner of the
roof came crashing in, burying those
of the audience seated in the gallery
uuder a great mass of bricks, plaster,
and other rubbish. The congrega
tion at once became greatly alarmed.
They sprang to their feet, and with
one accord made a rush for the doors
and windows in their, terror, Father
Curran sprang forward and endeav
ored to still the panic which natural
ly ensued.
In his efforts to quell the dreadful
panio which prevailed he was ably
seconded by Fathers Flynn and Car
roll, but the entreaties of the priests
had no effect, aud men, women and
children rushed headlong for the
door, struggling in the greatest terror
to gain exit from the building. Un
fortunately the main doors of the
church on Duane street were closed
aud locked, and only one of the side
doors, that on the east side of the
building, nearest to Chatham street,
' was open. This doorway is m?t over
six or seven feet wide, and towards
this means of exit the rush of the
terror-stricken multitude tended.
1 leading from the eastern gallery of
the church to this doorway is a steep
and narrow wooden stairway, and as
the accident occurred on . the eastern
gallery, the people who made for this
stairway were even more. ,
PANIC STRICKEN
than those in the main body of the.
edifice. It was soon choked up, and
the two streams of people those
coming from the body of the church
and those rushing from the gallery
met at the foot of the stairs, and a
mnlete blockade resulted. A dense
mass of humanity filled the narrow
ttuace to the open air, and a battle for
life ensued. The weak, as was to be
PYieted- had to firive .wav to the
stronsr. and several women and chil
dren who were in the middle of the
crowd fell at the foot of the stairs,
and were crushed and trampled upon
by those behind in their efforts to save
themselves.
It was at this point, and during
this fierce contest for life, that the
majority of the killed and wounded
received their injuries.
THE SCENE INSIDE THE CHURCH,
When the crowd was nearly out
a company of firemen and policemen
forced their way in. They found
the aisles littered "with sleeves, cloaks,
coats, hats, and rags torn off in the
struggle, and found also a few men
around the insensible bodies of a wo
man and boy who had fainted in the
press, and others assisting those who
had been broken through, and the
floor, sent them to the east gallery at
once. There they found a tew heavy

A small sized fracas occurred on Satur

being obtained, were placed in the hands
of an officer of thai section, for the pur
pose of affecting the arrest of one of the
parties. The officer approached the party
in question and some words ensued and a
quarrel quickly j followed, the result of
which, was that the defendant sued out a

warrant for the arrest of the - officer, and
then was himself placed under arrest.

Interruption to Travel.-
jWe learn and give it as a circumstance,
the continuance of which will no doubt,
materially affect the travelling public, that
the Roanake river, has risen -within three
feet of the Sea Board Railroad bridge.
The Petersburg embankment was caving
in at many places at last aecounts, and
was in great danger of being carried away.
It is said that if the river continues rising,
which seemed to be almost certain, that
a mile or more of the embankment would
be destroyed.

Fashionable Novelties.
pur fair friends will read with interest
the annexed description of the novelties in
millinery that are to be worn this season:.
" The pattern Paris Hals and Bonnets
cost from .$40 to $75 each. Chip is the
most fashionable matenal used for spring
hats, including white, brown, drab and col
ors: but English, Milan and Leghorns will
also be much worn. These are most elab
orately trimmed with flowers, which are
more than ever before introduced into this
market. The lapse of time has also brought
back the use of ribbons in widths of from
two to seven inches, which, together with
-uamasK 8iiK," a new fancy article verv
similar to the brocade silks used in our
grandmother's time, strongly remind one
of the styles worn by Martha Washington
and her Republican court. Failee Silks,
of beautiful tints, and to some extent the
soft mignons used last season, will be used
also for . trimming. The colors will be
cream white, the light shades of blue and
pink, the leghorn, silver-gray and cardinal
shades. It is impossible to state what the
actual shapes are; as they are very numer
ous and even more "eccentric" than last
season. Fancy must be guide, and the
tastes of the ladies can doubtless be suited
from the collection. The hats and bonnets
are of larger size than heretofore worn, and
are to be had in shapes from the soft slouch,
with the wide brim, to the capacious roll
front, turned and indented side and back,
the iannty sailor hat, and the staid and
prim ladies bonnet and hat. The styles
are claimed to be more handsome and more
susceptible of being beautified by trim
ming than for years. There is more trim
ming used than last year, aud fewer orna
ments, although some handsome ostrich
tips and pompons are still shown. The
flowers are in greater profusion than for a
long time. These are made into "sprays"
for the front of the hat or bonnet, and
comprise all the floral favorites, from the
rose to the violet, the crysanthimum and
cowslip to the heliotrope and daisy, and
including-the narcissus, marguerite, lilac,
china astor, &c. Some of these . sprays,
each forming the trimmiag for a hat or
bonnet, cost $30 and $100 per dozen, whole
sale."
Ladle' Benevolent Society.
The monthly meeting of the Ladies' Be
nevolent Society will be held at the Hall of
the Hook and Ladder Company, on Dock,
between Third and Fourth streets, on Tues
day, nd of March, at 3 o'clock B. M. All
visitors are requested to be present as very
important business will be considered.
Chanse of Firm.
The firm of David & "Weil has been dis
solved. The business will be continued by
Mr. A. David. Mr. S. R Weil, the retir
ing partner, goes to Philadelphia, where he
is to engage in the millinery and fancy dry
goods business.
CITY ITEMS.
i A New Trass. We notice discharging at the
wharf of Messrs. Adrian & Vollers, On the West
side of the river, the schooner Anna Barton, which
cbmesdirect from Guanahani Island with a cargo of
natural guano in bulk, imported by the above named
firm.'. This is a new feature. - Heretofore" our sup
plies of . guano have been derived mostly from
second and third hand s and the cost has been much
increased by frequent handling and freighting, and
the quality deteriorated. But this guana coming
direct, with but onehandliBg; being in bulk and in
the . natural state, can be sold at much less prices
than those which are passed through many tranship
ments. " "'.'". '
i The testimonials in favor of the Guanahaci
Guano are f the very highest kind. It has been
used bow for two years past in nearly every cotton
county in the State, and the farmers using it having
come forward and freely testified to its value. We
understand that every cargo to be imported is to be
analyzed before being offered for sale, and if not
found up to the standard value will be refused. The
Cargo landiag now is pronounced a very fine article
and as soon as the analysis is complete it will be
Vublishedfor public inspection. We are glad to see
our merchants thus co-operating with our farmers
iu seeking to enable them to get their fertilizers
cheaper, it operates to the advantage of both
classes
Any inquiries by merchants, farmers or Grangers
will be fully answered by the above named firm, wha
will send tes:imonia's on application.

Tke Guanahaai Guano fltompany has seea fit to publish; a card to the effect that our "Cat Island
Guano" is of an inferior quality to their importations,

1st. That their agent at the Islands attempted (AND FAILED) to get control of deposits of Gnaco that
were secured by a member of our firm who is now at the Islands. . j. j
2d. That our Cat Island Guano, according to the analysis of Professor White, of the Univerei y of
Georgia (who analyzed for the Guanahani Company), is at least the equal of the Guano imported and sold
by the Guanahani Company last spring in the-cotton sections of Virginia and North Carolina. !
Our Guano shall: stand.or fall by the crucial test of the analytical chemist, and not by cards put out on
the eve f the planting season. We will have each cargo analyzed before it receives our brand, or is
offered to the public, and we will publish the report of the! chemist. We invite the Guanahani Company
to publish the analyses of each of the various lots offered or sold by them last spring, that the public may
decide, j j 7 . ' j' ' j
We have been enabled to avoid the mistakes that the inexperience of the Guanahani Company betrayed
them into last year. We are not taxed with the enormous expenies for salaries, &c vpald by them, and
with one of our firm on the Island, and one of the most experienced Guano men in the country asour Gen
eral Agent, we are satisfied we can beat them in quality ad price. We challenge them to meet us in the
laboratory or en the plantation; and until they can compete with as sucessfully in these tests, their paper
attacks will not hurt the best natural Guano (except Peruvian) yet offered to the public !
They write about " their standard !" Will they publish it ? Why did they publish a standard last year,
and withdraw It f We have taken proper steps in the Courts to protect ourselves from any injury arising "
from the improper publication of the Guanahani Company. 'I I
