FOUND SHOT.

A Man Discovered on the Grafton-Green-

SreesaI Telegram 20 TIE Sunday Register.
PmLIIPPI, w. VA, August 22.-Be-
tween six and eight o'clock this evening
as some Of the Grafton and Greenbrier
section men were coming to Phillippi to
attend lodge and transact some bnsi-
ness, they met Isaac Parsons, mu-
latto, near Kelley's, one mile north of
here. He was staggering along and
called to the men, saying he had been
shot. They went to him and found he
had been. shot in the back.
They took him on their hand car and
carried him back about mile 10 George
Males, where they left him and at
once came on here to report
it. DR.. Hoff, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Peter, Squire Kittle and
few others at once went to find out the
particulars. The story told by Parsons
is that James Norris, colOred, shot at
him three times, the last shot taking
effect in the back about half way bO-
tween the shoulders and hip.
1t seems that Parsons was accused OF
undue intimacy with Norris wife, and
this led TO the shooting.
Parsons is thought to be fatally shot,
but the physician has not yet returned.
No accurate knowledge has been OBJ
tanned on that point.
Parsons says ne met Norris near
where he met the section men, and that
Norris would not accept any explana-
tions, but began firing at once. Norris
has not been seen since the shooting.

THE TERRIBLE Loss
Of Life on the Island Of Martinique
Not Known.
ONLY VAGUE RUMORS RECEIVED
OF The Great Disaster That Swept That Iaud-lhs
Srpsudh'us Blacks Thought the snd Of he
World had 0cms-S5O Psnurs Net
Instant Dsaih.

ST. PIERRE, MARTINIQUE. August %
The full extent OF Tuesdays calamity
cannot be determined. From macy
parts Of the Island only vague and in
definite reports have so far been 70
ceived.
The hurricane struck the Island
about seven o'clock Tuesday evening,
and continued to rage until nearly
eleven. Hardly had the terrific storm
died away when sharp earthquake
shock added to the horror OF the night.
Many of the supertitious blacks verify
thought that the end OF the world was
at hand.
1t is impossible to convey an ade-
quate idea OF tho terror and suffering
OF Tuesday night. People flocked to
the open spaces and spent the long
hours till daylight in sleepless suspense.
The morning brought little sense OF re-
lief. On all sides the evidence OF de-
struction greeted anxious eyes and as
death after death was reported the aw-
ful character OF tho disaster was made
more and more manifest. No place on
the Island so far heard from has es-
capped without serious damage.
1t cannot yet be told how many peo-
Pile perished on Tuesday. The death
roll on Friday amounted to els. To-
day it Is known that two hundred and
fifty met instant death. II Is not AZ all
improbable that more accurate reports
will add still more names TO tho list OF
the dead.
The American brIgs White and Jen-
ME Pinney were among the ships lost.
Both are total wrecks, but their crews
escaped unhurt. Not q single craft
that was In the harbor when the storm
struck the island remained anoat.

duty on sugar, raw and refined.
Every Democrat in the House voted
for the retention OF the tax, and In the
Senate the unitedsDemocratic vote op-
posed free sugar, justifying their oppo-
sition because 1t was revenue duty and
In strict accord with the economic prin-
ciples advocated by the Democratic
party. So we have free sugar under a
protective tariff which has been impos-
sible under free trade or revenue tariff.
By this one section fifty-tive million dol
lars of taxes are removed from the
shoulders of the people.
Major Mckinley touched briefly on
reciprocity, which he said is provision
that In no way encroaches upon the pro-
tective principle. AS regards tin plate
there has been as much misrepresenta-
ton as criticism. II Is absurd TO say
that we cannot make tin-plate, for we
are already making 1t, and IL will not be
long until we shall make the larger part
of the consumption. He devoted some
space to review of British condemna-
tions of the protective tariff. and the
delight of certain English newspapers
over the Republican defeat last fall.
He closed with brief synopsis OF
what the Republican party had done,
and the great things yet for II to do,
and said: Never, while the advocates
OF debased dollar threaten the coun-
try with It's financial hereses, and never
until the free right to vote in every cor
ner of the country shall be protected
under the law and by the law and for
the law; and the American ballot box
be held as sacred as the American
home will il give up."

quiet throughout August prepara ory to
the great storms to follow. The weather
will average hot during the last half Of
August and the first half of September,
after which decided change may be
expected. / will repeat that al should

drained by the Mississippi rive, and the
western great lakes. Those Who wish
to save corn fodder will need 10 do so

belt will need to be cut beforeit is ma

expect akilling frost in the northern
edges Of the corn belt on SeTtember IL
or IS, with probability thatifrost will
do some damage on the l3tl or 14th.
Not much rainfall is expected from the

Valdes had gone to Far Rckaway.
An intimate friend of his, Seno Puente,

After chatting with Senor PHnto, he
decided to take swim in the nrf.
Some time afterwards he vas seen
from the shore and was seemingly float

He remained motionless so lug, how
ever, that the fears Of the liH guards
were aroused, and they determined to
investigate.
When they reached him hewas un-
conscious. He was hurriedly aiken to
the beach, and every effort wasmade TO
resuscitate him, but all to no purpose.
1t is supposed that he was attacked by
cramps while enjoying his batL.
Mr.. Valdes came from Cuba and has
been in the cigar importing business for
twenty years.

Mr.. Valdes afterwards procured 4
divorce, and so did his wife. She mar
ried again as did Mr.. Valdes. His Sec
ond wife, like his first, was q faember
of DR.. I'd mage's church. Af4r living
with his second wife for four fears, he
procured a separation.
In the meantime his firstlwiie had
tired of Boehne, who afterwaf died in
an asylum for the insane in Che west.
She returned to Brooklyn and last
spring she met her husband and recon-
ciliation followed.

Mosby was greatly wroth when shown

his wife was under great obligations to
