Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, July 15.-An interesting
question has arisen in connection with the
publication in the Congressional Record at
the instance of Representative Enloe, of
Tennessee, as part of a speech by that
gentleman in the House of Representatives
Friday last, of a copyrighted article in the
July number of the North american ReuielU,
entitled, "The Speakers Error" Now a
copyright protection was granted to the
North american ReuieD by the United States
for consideration and an infringement of
copyright subjects the offender to punish
ment. In this case it is the government
which transgresses the law and in a pub
LEGATION authorized by the government.
Your reporter to- day called upon General
Lloyd Brice, editor of the North american
ReUielD, in regard to the matter.
''Ths Reuie,v is copyrighted, of cour5e,'
said General Bryce, land | apprehend that
its publication is violation of my prop
erty. am fully sensible of the prestige
accruing to the ReUielU from having one of
the articles ordered to be printed in Its en-
tlrety in the Congressional Record, a thing
which, [ am informed, is without precedent
in the case of an article from periodical.
But had my permission been asked il would
have been granted under conditions com
plying with the law requiring copyright
notice The question of copyright involved,
however, is a serious one. To reprint the
article in'its entirety without my permis-
sion is to use it as if it were public prop
erty, and that the government is the source
OF the laws which are supposed to protect
copyrighted articles is primary reason
for preventing an infraction of the laws
from remaining unnoticed.
II am consulting the lawyer who looks
out for the copyright interests OF the Re
UieD on the subject, and if it is possible
will obtain an injunction against further
publication of the Congressional Record con
tanning the article. 1t has been necessary
for me to take legal proceedings to protect
my property, and it is for that reason that
it seems more necessary to act now to
maintain the reputation of the ReUiew fol-
fair and impartial dealingn

Suffering Among the Inhabitants Scenes of
Horror, Disaster and Sorrow.
Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
PORTLAND, Me-, July 15.-H. Hamlin &
Son, of this city, received letter yester-
day morning from their representative at
ST. Pierre, Martinique, dated June 81, and
giving the latest particulars concerning the
great disaster at Fort La France. More
than seventeen hundred buildings We're
destroyed and with the exception of very
small portion Fort La France is desolate.
Cases of extreme restitution are numerous.
Three quarters of the thickly populated
area OF the city are destroyed and seven
eighths OF the people are utterly homeless
The demand made upon the part of those
who are spared, has reduced them to al
most the same restitution. Money must
be had Immediately or the restitution that
now prevails will become absolute starva
ton. Following is the letter:
This dreadful calamity commenced at
2 80 on Sunday, the 22d inst. BY the fol-
lowing morning this antique town was
mass of charred ruins, some say by fight
between the black men, others say by the
carelessness of a negress and kerosene
lamp or furnace was upturned in a small
house in the heart of the town. The fire
spread right and left before and in the
teeth of the wind which was blowing like
hurricane, ravaging all along the sea
shore from the western side of the savan-
nah to River Levasson The principal
part of the town is in ruins; from six to
seven thousand persons have been rendered
homeless by the visitation; many persons
are severely injured and four soldiers are
buried in the blazing mass.

ers from the flames; their frantic efforts to
escape destruction; mothers crying for
their children from whom they had been
separated and vice versa; the -unayailing

New YORK, July 15.-There are many
people here who knew Mrs. William Gould,
the pretty English woman who killed her
husband at Murphy, N. c., last week.
Mrs. Bauer, who keep. hotel at 211
Christie street, where Mrs. Gould stopped
nineteen days, was seen to-day. Mrs.
Gould's stay in the house is evidently
memorable affair. Said Mrs. Bauer:
''Mrs. Gould came to my house while
was absent. She was brought by an Off
Ger of the steamer. Mrs. Gould was lady,
her clothes were few, but they were the
clothes of lady bred. The way she held
her hands and dressed herself showed she
was lady, but she was queer in her head.
She was always talking about her husband.
Every man who came in she asked, Have
you come from Florida! Have you seen
my husband!' That was when she was
herself, but if she had been drinking lit
tie she would fling her arms about any
body's neck and love 'em most to death. A
stranger would come into my hotel and she
would say, All, there is my dear

tried to drive her away, and when I
proved exacting she would run to my
mother, a poor old lady eighty years old,
and almost choke :her to death telling her
how she loved her and how she must wait
until her husband came. One day / saw
her cheeks burn in two little spots on the
cheek bones, and her eyes glittered and
were so bright that l asked her to go with
me to place where they had fine schnapps.
In that way [ took her to the station house,
! from there she was sent to Bellevue.
sit was only when she had some
schnapps she was so foolish. She was not
bad, but she would kiss me or my poor old
mother, or any strange man that came into
the hotel. As for my husband, he is not
well, poor man. and she had him so fright
ened he dared not look at her for fear shs
would choke him with hugs and KISSES"

the marshal and the brides mother, and

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE,
Rashly Importunate, Jumps Into North River,
and Is Hauled Out

Especial toTHE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
New YORK, July IA few minutes after
10 to-day the workmen at the foot of West
Fortieth street saw a young woman walk
ing down the dock. Her face had once been
pretty, but it was marred by signs of care
and sorrow, as she walked down the dock
wringing her hands. On reaching the end
of the dock she suddenly threw down her
parasol and, clasping her hands, leaped into
the river. Two men passing in a row boat
pulled to her assistance. AS she rose to
the surface one of the men seized her and
tried to pull her aboard, but she resisted
desperately. So violent were her struggles
that she nearly upset the boat, and it was
only by towing her to shore until shallow
water was reached that her rescuers were
able to get her ashore. At the hospital she
refused positively to give any account of
herself. She moaned, ooh, disgrace, dis
grace! l tried so hard to die. Why didn't
they let me." The doctors say she is about
to become a mother. She is evidently a
woman of education.
