It is added that the inhabitants cf Zeitun fled to the mountains.

Ths aoie was followed by falling brick and mortar, and in the efforts to escape from the impending danger a wild panic ensued among the people, in the church A rush was made for the single exit and women and children were trampled under foot by the stronger in the rush for safety. About half of tbe people succeeded in getting out of the church before some of he cooler heads in the crowd pacified the feara of the panic stricken people. Although a number of people were knocked down the flight from the cnurch and a number of others were cut by the falling bricks and mortar, no one was very seriously hurt.

It DAY EXERCISES, The Birth of Christ Told In Story and Song. PRETTY DECORATIONS. Elaborate Musical Programmes In Some of the Churches An Elab orate Free Dinner at the Colonial The Weather Started in Threateningly, Bui Old Sol Brightened Up and the Dav Passed Olt Beautifully. The great festival of Christmas of 1895 a thii of the past, and the doings of the day in York will go down through the corridors of time as beiDg in every way worthy of the occasion. It was not Christmas Day such asourgranuiainerB and grandmothers usually experienced.

The white hula and valleys were mvitiDie Not even a snow flake could be seen, nor waj it drear and bleak. The gracious sun pierced the clouds that had hidden his face, and the afrernoon could not have been more beautiful. It had anything bnt a favorable outlook lor a pleasant dav when the first hours of the day wera us hered in. The Bky was leaden and about four o'clock a. m.

it began to drizzle and kept it up more or less until about seven o'clock, when the sun began assert itself by parting the clouds and shone brightly as the forenoon faded away, to the extreme delight of everybody. The poor and sick were made comiort able, the destitute were made happy and the ufifcrifig in our local institutions were also made aware that Christmas Day had arrived, for they were treated to splendid Christmas feasts. Even before daylight made us appear ance the children were up, running to see what Santa Claus had put in their stock np. and then there were shouts of gay laughter as one new surprise after another greeted the children's view. The happy expressions in the fathers' and motheis' eyes as they watched their children's pleasure in the gifts that Santa Claus had brought during the night made up a fcene that fills one with delight and even brings joy to the saddest of hearts, fr.en came the scene at the breakfast table.

Well, very few left the table with their breakfast finished. But what matter to them The Christmas dinner is what they were looking for, and they knew that was next In order the meal that comes ahead ot all meals, wher all par take heartily, except those who v. to see their friends and imbibed too much of the stronger water, not the filthy and unhealthy water the York Water Com pany is supplying to their patrons, but something that is considered by many a tittle better than that. Perhaps the day after the effects of the superahun 'ance of the good things of life were felt, but whats that to the par takers Christmas comes but once a year and it is the duty or every one to try and make it as enjovable as possible. The better part of the day was very pleasant and it seemed as thongh nearly every one twok advantage cf it who could any way get irnv or uuun.

A great many ol our people left the city to spend otiristmas wan menus at a distance or went to some larger cities td see the sights; and then again a great many visitors came to our city to spend Christmas. We had plenty to give them, even good glass of apple jack from the reservoir hich is being supplied to our people daily. There were a gTeat many rr.ends evidently generous in dealing out the cheer that intoxi- ates, fur there were a great many on the streets who received a little too much. Day was anything bat a holiday for the police, nearly all hands being kept busy from early in the morning ontil late at night. The greater num ber of those requiring attention were of who viewed tne proceeding tUO through the oottu.

of inverted tnmb ers Of course there were a few who had righting blood in them and wanted to tight with every one they met. but the police soon made short work of that and landed them in the city lockup to keep them saMy until the Mayor has bis say. Aside rrom that the day passed off quietly and everybody seemed to be merry. In nearly all of the churches services wire held, and the advent of the child Christ years and years ago in Bethlehem of odea was appropriately celebrated Special music telling of the wonderful event was sung by trained voices, greatly to the en wymeut of the reverent tie lievers. In the evening all the churches that had services were crowded, while many persons could be seen promenading tne pnncipai iiiorougniares.

Dinner at the Colonial. It was a happy, benevolent thought on the part of the proprietors to signalize the unrisi anniversary, not. as is too onen done at betels by catering to the unnat ural tastes or their patrons, but by calling in those who might not be well provided for otherwise, and giving them a fmt class turkey dinner with all the accom pantment of ice cream, fruits, xc. At 10:40 a.m. the three long tables were tilled by a bright, expectant com pany of about eighty little people with here and there a parent or grand parent scattered among them.

Uutside too, were perhaps, as many more tickets in hand, awaiting their t-irn when the next tables shcu'd be called. When every 8t at was filled and periect quiet secured, vr. isiles was as-tigned a central place, and when he commenced to speak, every eye was turned to him as respectfully ss in any Sunday school. He commenced by eav lng that thongu he had lived to see many reiarna oj the tjbnstmas day, he had never witnessed any ooservanee like this. Though he had been a gntt at mauy hotels, in this country and in Lurope, he had never before seen such a dinner party at any hotel.

What year is this in which we are living be asked. What took place 1895 years ago? Who was the "Jesus" then horn into tbe world Born, not 'u a nice room in a larue hotel like the Colonial. ot even in a email old fashioned one, for "That Inn" at Bethlehem was completely itUed before Jcseph and Mary, wtary from their journey, had reached the placa But tl kind hearted landlord, very sorry that he could do no more for them, took them to the stable where the sheep had been fed. There, in a low manger, he spread abundance of nice, clean straw, which alary said voud bp quite and then be wished them eood-nii;) There, in that lonely plao, sometime" be fore morning, Jesus was born, the angel singing "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace among men, in whom tie la well pleaded.

Nex.

he spoke of the cus-toni at this time, of giving presents, good dinners and other thing, in imitation of God's goodness, and in trying to make others happy. Then he extolled the thoughtful and generous kindness of the Colonial managers in arranging for this by of i St. in of St as A a Sseveral Couples Made Doubly Happy In These Holidays.

passed the bill reported by Mr. Dingley, from the Committee on Ways and Means "To temporarily increase revenue to meet the expenses of the government and to provide agaijBt a deficiency." The debate was participated in, for the Republicans by Messrs. Dingley, Dalzeil, Hopkins, (Illinois,) Grosvenor, (Ohio,) Arnold, Knox, and Dolliver, Iowa,) in support of the bill and by Messrs. Crisp, Wheeler, Alabama,) McMillin, Dockery, (Mieeouri) and Turner, (Georgia,) Democrats, and Bell, Populist, against the bill. The opposition was based upon the the remedy proposed-an increase of revenue was not what was needed; that there was money enough in tbe treasury to meet all claims for two or three years to come if the present rate of deficit were maintained It was also contended that the bill was a general revision of the tar ff.

Repubicani insisted that more revenue was the aey of the situation and denied that the bill was in any sense a general tariff measure. It did not represent Republican ideas on that subject at all; was intended only as a temporary revenue measure to meet a pressing ex igency, and its passage was advocated on the high ground of patriotic duty in the hour of the Republic's peril That measure having been dispoeed of a joint resolution was passed by Mr.Cannon, Utah, providing for the transfer of territorial property to the new State. At 5:40 p. n. the House adjourned until tomorrow.
