London, January 12 – A disaster occurred in Barnsley Public Hall at a Cinematograph performance, where a number of children, of the average age of 6, rushed down the stairs to obtain better seats and 16 were crushed to death, many being injured.

Young folk and elders too are looking forward to the Bazaar arranged for Wednesday and Thursday at St. Paul's College, Glenesly. In the evening there will be an open air cinematograph and Chinese theatrical performance.
