THE AVIS
CHRLSTTANSTED ST. CROIX,
Wednesday, 8h September 1880

The Meeting of the Council on Monday
derived its interest chiefly from the fact
OF the resignation of the Chairman, and
the election of his successor. Although
coming second in tho order of the day we
will first give our notes of the proceedings
in this conneXiOn.
The Chairman said that he would ask
the permission of the Council to resign his
position as Chairman. This arose from
no wish on his part to be free from the
duties, but because his was about to leave
the island, and therefore compelled, as the
Council would learn later, to tender his
resignation as a member. If no objection
were made by any member he should take
IL for granted that the Council had allowed
him to withdraw, and it would be under
stood that he would only continue to occu-
by the chair in order to direct the election
of his successor.
Shortly afterwards the election of Chair
man was proceeded with, and ended in
favour of Judge Jurs with Ten out of tbir-
teen votes.
Judge ROSenStand then said that he
would ask the Council to allow him to ten.
der his best thanks for their hearty CO.
operation during the time he had been
Chairman. For thirteen years he had been
a member of the Council, and for eight
years he had been Chairman, and when he
looked to the history of the Council during
that period it was one marked by much
that was unsatisfactory. During that
time a series of unfortunate years and sad
occurrences had brought the colony to the
verge of ruin. 1t had been the lot of the
Colonial Council to bear a great part of
the blame for those misfortunes. This
Council had been spoken of, he would not
say with contempt, but in a way surprising
to observe in a Country where it should
not nave been so spoken of. To use a
common phrase, the Council had been
r down.. But if the history of the
Council itself afforded little satisfa ction.
he had great satisfaction in looking back
over his personal relations to the Council.
He would thank the President for the
courtesy which had always attended his
relations with the Council, he would also
thank the Vice Chairman and Secretary
for their ready assistance, and he would
thank all the members, indeed he felt that
ne could not sufficiently express his appre.
clailon OF the courtesy, hearty good will,
and ready cooperation, which they had
shewn all through the period during which
ne lad had the honour to occupy the chair.
{ The retiring Chairman then resigned his
seat to Judge Jdrs, who first thanked the
council for this mark of their confidence,
ana then said that he would beg leave on

the te0ne some details Oh the nurTl-
cane in Jamaica on the 18th ult.
From the southern colonies we have
not received any notices that help us
to trace the course ofthe storm, except
that the Antigua Observer mentions
that on Sunday the 18th the barome-
ter was uneasy and the..weather sus-
piciously fresh, ending in plenty of
rain. The Cleaner publishes however
the log of the steamer "Nith", from
London to Jamaica, which sailed in
the track of the cyclone from the
18th to the 18th. The "Nith" was off
the south side of Guadeloupe at noon
on Sunday the 18th, when the wind
was blowing in squalls from the N. E.,
showing that the storm centre was
southeast of the ship. From this
point it followed her up, gradually
gaining on her, till on the 18th when
southeast of Jamaica she had to
round to with head to the south while
the storm centre passed The worst
was over by 6 o'clock, and the vessel
resumed her way, arriving next morn
ing at Kingston to learn what destruc-
ton the storm had wrought on land.
The "Nith" passed south of Santa
Cruz on Monday the 10th, her longi-
tude at noon being 65.55. AS the
longitude of Christiansted is 64.4O,
and the vessel was then steaming at 10
knots an hour, she must have been
due south of us mt about 5 o'clock i'm
the morning. The storm centre was
then to the south of and a little be-
hind her, but not much behind, as the
wind was least, backing at times to
northeast. The vessel was at THE
time in lat. 1904 N. and therefore
about 113 English miles from the
shore of Santa Cruz. As the storm
centre was still further south, it NAV
be put down as at least $50 miles
away. We cannot therefore say that
we had a narrow escape. Had the
danger been nearer we should per-
haps have had the benefit of some of
the heavy showers of rain which &C.
company such storms, but most peo-
pie will be better pleased to find that
it passed us at such a safe distance.
That the wind circle extended to this
island there can be no doubt. The
directions Of the cloud motion, as OBJ
served with the aid of a pocket COM
pass, were on Sunday Evening from
E. by N, early on Monday morning
due east, and about II am E. by s.
The violent squall which struck us
from the south at about 2 o'clock ON
Monday afternoon must be regarded
as a kind of far-reaching stray shot
from the back part of the gale shortly
after the passage of the centre.
1t is worthy of note that the Jamai-
cans, like most West Indians on such
occasions, were unprepared for such a
catastrophe. The room which the
ocean affords for these gales is 20
great and the islands comparatively
so small, that, Notwithstanding the
occurrence of cyclones every YEA h
is not always that an island is struck
by the dangerous inner ring, and usu-
ally many years elapse between the
successive strokes which fall on the
same island. Immediately after .
gale in any island the inhabitants are

A sad accident happened at Independence
last Friday evening. which may result in the
loss Of life. II seems that tive little boys
named William Lawrence and William Ly.
ons, each about fifteen years Of age, had gone
out in the country short distance from town
to have a good time together that after
starting home they were oYertaken by the
stage from this city and the driver took them
up to let them ride home While riding
along young Lyons took out his pistol and
commenced swapping il at his eompanisn,
who repeatedly told him not ito de il, as it
might be loaded. But to this Lyons paid no
attention, saying that it was not loaded,
when finally the fatal chamber snapped and
a ball was sent whizzing through the face Of
young Lawrence. Tho ball struck just be.
low the nose aud ranged along back over the
upper jaw, finally lodging just back Of the
left car. The unfortunate lad was hurrie.ily
taken home, and physician called. who
dressed the wound, but as the boy was weak
from loss oi blood would not extract the ball
at that time.

Accidentally Shot.

On last Saturday afternoon young man
named Smith met with fearful accident,
which in all probability viii end in his
death. He was out on a deer stand nea- the
old Nye place above Lebanon, and while
standing on log with the breach of his gun
resting by his feet. the gun slipped off and
she hammer striking the log discharged the
bullet into his side, 1t ranged upward
breaking several ribs and finally lodging
somewhere in the upper part Of the body.
The gun was the old fashioned yager which
shoots a bullet of enormous size, and those
who have seen one can imagine what fear
full wound it viii produce. DIR. Ballard was
called and dressed the wound, but says the
chances for the young mans recovery are
slim.
