In the town of Cracow during service in the synagogue on Saturday, some person cried out that the edifice was on fire. A panic immediately ensued. Men, women, and children arose and attempted to gain the doors. The strong trampled on the weak, and for the period of a minute the situation was appalling. 38 women were either trampled to death or suffocated, and nearly 50 were seriously injured. Five aged men and at least a dozen children were taken out dead. The number wounded, while not exactly stated, is said to be largo. Nearly 20C0 persons were in the synagogue when the alarm was sounded. Many of the women in the galleries leaped down to the main floor, and were so bruised and stunned that they could not extricate themselves from the panic-stricken throng. It was not until late in the afternoon that the wounded were cared for. An official investigation of the disaster has been ordered.
