SMOTHERED IN A CHEST.

George Hamilton and Wife Lent Their
Little Ones at Home while They Went

Either Locked In By Flaynates or by .
Murderous Fiend-Nothine was Stolen.
IRoNroS. O., Aug 2l.-George Hamilton and
Ills wife won't out this afternoon to make q
business call. and when they returned could
not End their throe children.
Tho parents supposed they were PLAYING
with their little nelghbors. and paid no atten-
ton to their absence Hamilton grow uneasy
after awhile and began 10 look for the little
ones. Hsstis the Oldest was only 8 ysnrs old.
and the others Edith and Emma. were and 2
respectively.
Returning from the neighbor's after fruit
less search. the parents began 10 look over tho
house.
A large tool chest stood In one corner Of tho
outside shed. The mother threw back the lid.
screamed. and tainted away. Her three chill
drsn 10y dead in the chest.
The babe had died flrst and was clutched
tightly In the arms OF the eldest. The faces OF
oil were blacksned and conEested. The town
was aroused at once. and officers hurried to
make an investigation.
They found that after the children had
either climbed or had been put into the chest
q strong stick had been forced into the lock
and staple. thus consIRning them to certain
death In few minutes. The cries OF the chill
drsn. Of course. had boon smothered BY the
thick sides Of the Ghost.
Mrs. Hamilton 10 almost insane. and It Is the
general belief that the children were deliber-
ately smothsred by some fend. search OF
the house revealed nothing disturbed.
and there was no evidence TO point to
murder but the tell.tale stick which
had locked the children to their death. The
theory Is given out that some Of the neiGhbors'
children had been playing with them and
locked them in without realizing the terrible
consequences.
This IDEA. however. seems to be exploded BY
close examination Of the dead bodies. They
bear evidences ofhaving been roughly handled.
as their clothes were torn and their
faces bruised. either in very rough
play or by being roughly showed into tho death
Ghost They had evidently suffered much and
fought flercely for q breath Of air.
The father says that hs is sure the children
wsre playing In tho yard whom he and his wife
left home. An inquest will be held TO- morrow.
Tho mystery is keeping this place awake to-
night. The neiRhboorhood has oil been can
vassed. but theso Is no discovery that other
children were playing with Hamilton's litto
ones during their parents absence.

Pierre, capital Of the island OF Martinique,
which was visited by q terrible hurricane on
Tuesday night last show that 2lS people are
found to have been killed in tho coast towns
alone. the towns in the interior not having
been heard from as yet. There is no doubt
that the loss OF life in tho interior towns may
have been as great, II not greater than In the
coast towns. SO 1t 10 impossible at present even
TO make an estimate OF the number Of people
who lost their lives. CONSERVATION exists
throughout the island
The roads leading into the interior have been
rendered absolutely impassable. These roads
are blocked in some CAGES for several miles BY
fallen trees and displaced earth aud rocks
Several days may elapse before the Governor
OF Martinique is able 10 give the home Gov-
| ernment detailed account OF the disaster.
1t Is known. however. that houses. crops,
and trees from one end Of Martinique to the
other. have been demolished or flattened down
beyond hope OF recovery. The loss to the coffee
and sugar planters will be very great
At Ducos only four houses remain standing.
OF tho inhabitants of Ducos, eighteen have
been killed and number aro injured more or
less severely. The troops at tho disposal of
are busy succoring the injured and burying
the dead. The physicians Of the island hardly
had an hours rest for the first forty. eight
hours following the hurricanes passage, and
citizens Of all classes are doing their utmost to
succor the sufferers and to repair. 80 far az

At st. Pierre. according to the first REPORTS

SULLIVAN MAKES AN OFFER.

He Will Pay SIavin to Stand I'm Before
Him Six Rounds.
CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-John L. Sullivan, saws
Wakely and Lynch, who arrived from New
Orleans yesterday, laid before him pro-
posal to fight Slevin. The PROF osal, he un-
derstands, comes from Slavin's friends in
New Orleans. Sullivan's reply is that he
will give Slavin 2,5OO or 5000 il he pre-
fers it, il he will show that he can stand
before him (Sullivan) for six rounds, with
five-ounce gloves. Sullivan will meet him
at any place as soon as soon as his present
engagement will permit. He will fight no
more bare fist fights as he doesn't wish ''to
run up against the law again." Sullivan
says Corbett, Kilrain and Slavin care all
calling themselves the champion. What he
wants them to do is to settle the matter
among themselves and then he will FIGHT the
winner.
Sullivan, when asked about Jackson, said
"Oh. don't consider him. He is out of it,
so far as l am concerned"
James j. Corbett, of San Francisco. met
Sullivan for the first time to-day and ex-
pressed great admiration for him. When
questioned as to whether he would fight
sullivan, Corbett asked why he should,
adding that there are number of men for
him to whip before he thinks Of the worlds
championship honors. IF Slavin wants
to fight" said Corbett, "why don't he fight
me. am convinced he is blowhard who
is talking principally because he knows
Sullivan's hands are at present tied. If
am successful in my coming meeting with
Peter jackson, I shall go to England and
make him fight or expose him as duffer."
