Commander. Garfield Post No 2.
II is OF the most urgent importance that this sad

will send the contributions

Immediately upon learning OF the helpless
condition of our Florida comrades. THE Ma
TfoNAL Tribune made inquiry by tele-
graph as to their present daily necessities,
and received the following reply:
NAVY YAnD. PENSACOLA. Sept. 25, 1888.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Twen;y-one G. A. r. wards under care.
Fever stin increasing Expenses not less than nine
dollars per day. Send ell contributions 10 First
National Bank. Pensacola subject 20 order of John
Purdy, AdjGiant Post. w. c. KELLY.
Commander, Post No. L.
Thinking that possibly some delay might
occur in the transmission of the required aid
through official channels, and our suffering
comrades be thus temporarily deprived of
necessaries, we at once forwarded tele-
graphic remittance TO Commander Kelly
sufficient to supply immediate needs, and
we are now ready to receive contributions
from any source for the same purpose.
That many Posts of the Grand Army will
respond promptly and generously to this ur-
gent appeal is beyond question, but on an
occasion like this every Post should contrib
ute something cut of the funds in its treas
ury; or, If that be empty, special sub-
scription should be made by its members to
the relief of our afflicted comrades, and we
trust this order viii be read in every Post
room and immediate action taken upon it.
Contributions from Posts, as indicated above,
should be sent direct to Quartermaster-Gen-
eral Taylor, No. 216 Walnut street, Phila-
delphia, and as the Posts at Pensacola are
evidently in need of immediate relief, they
should be forwarded at the earliest possible
moment.
Contributions from others than members
Of the Grand Army may be sent direct tc
this Office, and their receipt viii be duly ac-
knowledged and the amounts forwarded
promptly to the proper parties In such an
emergency SIS this, hardness in responding
to the call for charity is even less to be ex-
cused than niggardliness.

The spOrtsman's Hand. book Free.

Before starting on his autumn hunting or
fishing expedition the wise sportsman will
do well to consult the pages of ga Paradise
for Gunners and Anglers" neat and handy
publication, recently issued by the Passenger
Depai tment Of the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore railroad. This little
pamphlet finds the sportsman's paradise IN
the Maryland and Delaware Peninsula, and
that section is exaaustively treated with re-
gard to its hunting and fishing resources.
Not only sre all its birds and fishes dis
cussed and described, but their habits are
descanted upon and their haunts disclosed.
Valuable hints are also given as to the time
and manner when angler or gunner may
work with the best success; and explicit di-
rection as to routes and stopping places, ac-
companied by an excellent map of the sec
ton, renders the work a complete guide
book. The book is handsomely illustrated
with plates ofthe principal species of game,
and is arranged so as to be carried in the
pocket with convenience. Such a guide
book to district so rich in birds, water
fowl, and fish must prove an invaluable
prize to the sportsman. Copies may be

LONDON, August 30.-A dispatch to
Lloyds', from Batavia, estimates the loss of
life by the volcanic eruptions at 60, 900. The
Disaster is the most terrible and devastating
of modern times. For 48 hours the shocks
of earthquake have increased in violence.
Streams of burning lava poured down into
the valleys, inundating villages and carrying
death and flames to the most popul, us
places. In the Straits of Sunda, the
most important channel OF naviga-
ton between the Sea of Java and
the Indian Oceans, islands have been swal-
lowed up, the coast line changed or enterely
obliterated, and every lighthouse has been
swept away THIS important strait, so
miles in width, is now dangerous to naviga-
uoh. New islands have arisen and land
marks on she coast are so altered as to
make the country unrecognizable. The Gov
eminent is preparing to obtain new sound
ings of the strait.
Sixteen volcanoes have appeared between
the site where the island of Krakatoa
formerly stood and Sibisic sland. A part
of the Bantam is an ashy desert. The cattle
are starving, and the population are in
despair. The Soengepan volcano was for
many hours enveloped in an enormous
luminous cloul, which gradually in
creased In size until it formed
canopy Of lurid red and whitish
gray over a wide extent of territory.
During this time the eruptions increased,
and streams oflava poured necessarily down
the sides of the mountains, sweeping every
thing before them. Where q stream of lava
entered an arm of the sea or came in con-
tact with the water of a river, the incades-
cent lava produced boiling heat and rapid
vaporization. The assures that opened in
this thin crust as 1t solidified on the stream
of lava emitted torrents of vapor, extending
high into the air, and making a tremendous
seething sound.
The air was filed with dense black smoke
and rolling clouds of fame, which seemed
to envelope and agitate the earth with tor
rents of burning lava rushing into the sea.
The roar of the flames and Kissing of the
water became almost deafening. The re-
turning waves rushed upon the shore to an
unprecedented height.
Between the Southwestern point of the
island and Gunnug Guntur several villages
disappeared from sight during the second
night of the eruption. The number of dead
can scarcely be estimated. Seven hundred
and four bodies of victims of the disaster
have been buried in the district of Tamara,
and three hundred bodies in the coast viii
lage of Kramat alone, and in other and
more populous districts torrents of lava
have buried whole settlements.

batting. Each Quickstep player got az

better, only equal. A convention is to be

According to their teachings New Castle
county should have 60 delegates, as many as
both of the other counties. The colored
people are right. They show their good
sense In not making any discrimination be
cause one county has more money, or land,
or more inhabitants than another. The
Republican, no doubt, will look into this
matter, and write long, senseless article on

of this county: EQUALITY.

money will be plenty when State is to be

thought it was only wasting time, as Coun-
knew what the communication was.
After Mr.. Baugh's request had been COM
piled with the gentleman stated that he did
not think the resolutions as read
by the clerk were verbatim
copy of those presented oy the Solicitor and
adopted by Council. He contended that the
Law Committee had not done their duty.
The majority of the committee had not con-
suited with the minority at all, and they
| also had not complied with the resolutions,
as no opinion had been received. He would
like to know something about the matter,
and he would move that the Law Commit
tee be instruct d TO report the opinion of

Mr.. Pickles moved to lay the motion on
the table.
MI. Blake called for the ayes and nays.
Mr.. Farrell said ne was very sorry that the
gentleman had made the motion.
Mr.. Pickles raised the point of order that
the gentleman was out of order, as the ayes
and nays had been called.
Mr.. Farrell, c,ntiuuiDg, said: 1t bears out
what the gentleman from the First ward
Mr.. Pickels again objected, aud the chair
ruled Mr. Farrell out OF order.

name was called, he arose and said he de.
sired to explain his vote. He said T.; ap-
peared to him that the gent from the Fifth
ward and his colleagues did not want any
light ON the subject. He thought as Coun-
ell was paying for an opinion the whole body
had right to know what that opinion was.
1t should not be known only TO select few.
He voted no.
M. Taylor also arose to explain bis vote
He was of the same opinion as Mr.. Farrell,
and the Republican side of the house were
afraid to let the opinion be known.
Mr.. Pickels-"Mr. President, object. If
you are going to allow the matter to be dis
cussed | want chance to reply."
Mr.. Taylor turning around to Mr.. Pick
els, said somewhat angrily: "You are afraid
to discuss the matter"
Mr.. Pickels-"I am ready at any time"
Mr.. Taylor-"You are afraid, or else you
would never have moved to lay the motion
on the table and cut of discussion" ,"
The motion to lay on the table was
adopted by vote of 10 ayes to nays.
Mr.. Baugh, not being satisfied, said he
would ask the Law Committee what they
had done in the matter.
Mr.. Pickles again interrupted, saying the
matter had just been disposed of.
Mr.. Smith, chairman of the Law Com
mittee, arose to reply, but was interrupted
by Mr.. Pickels, who said counsel had been
employed.
Mr.. Baugh, "I would ask if Mr. Pickles
is running this Councils The gentleman
from the Ninth ward knows ell about the
matter, let him answer" The only answer
that Mr. Smith vouchsafed was "You will
