ST. PIERRE, MARTINIQUE, Aug. 22.-The
full extent of Tuesdays calamity cannot be
determined. From many parts of the island
only vague and indefinite reports have SO far
been received. The mountain roads were in
many instances obstructed by fallen timbers
and other debris, thus rendering many vii
lages extremely difficult of access. Every
fresh report brings new details of the uni
versal havoc and devastation wrought by the
fury of the elements. The hurricane struck
the island about O'Clock Tuesday night. 1t
continued to rage till nearly IL.
Hardly had the terrific storm died away
when sharp earthquake shock added to the
horror Of the night. Many of the supersti-
tious blacks verify thought that the end of
the world was at hand. 1t is impossible to
convey an adequate idea of the terror and
suffering of Tuesday night. People focked
to the open spaces and spent the long hours
till daylight in sleepless suspense. They
knew not but that at any moment a severer
earthquake shock might complete the destruc-
tion of their already roofess homes. The
morning brought little sense of relief.
On all sides the evidence of destruction
greeted anxious eyes, and as death after death
was reported the awful character of the dis
aster was made more and more manifest.
Then news began to come from other parts of
the island. Everywhere the same dreadful
peated No place on the island SO far heard
from has escaped without serious damage.
1t is impossible as yet to give any estimate
of the money value of the damage to crops,
forests, houses, and shipping.
The grand totalwill be something enormous.
Neither can 1t yet be told how many people
perished On Tuesday the indications were
that some 60 to 100 had lost their lives. On
Friday the death roll had mounted to 21S. To-
day it is known that $50 met instant death. 1t
is not at all improbable that more accurate
reports will add still more names to the list of
the dead. No attempt has been made to as
certain the number of those who were injured
by falling walls and flying debris, but the
probability is that thousands received injuries
more or less serious. Efforts are being made
everywhere to repair the damage. Here in St.
Pierre the first endeavor is to get new roofs,
for hardly roof in the entire city remained
intact. But many people are finding it ex-
tremely difficult to make repairs. The stock
of roofing material on hand is not sufficient to
meet the general demand and the prices have
been sharply advanced The American brigs,
Ned White and Jenny Phinney were among
the ships lost. Both are total wrecks, but their
crews escaped unhurt. Not single craft that
was in the harbor wnen the storm struck the
island remained afloat
The village of Morne Rouge is q total
wreck. The number of lives lost there was
about thirty. Fort Defiance, the second city
of the island, was nearly destroyed 1t will
be months before the ravages of the storm can
be obliterated. Meanwhile there is great
suffering, especially among the poorer classes.

HELD IT'S OWN VERY WE'LL.
The Stock Market Again Showed It's In
herent Strength.

herent Strength.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The stock market
again showed its inherent strength, and, in
the face Of unfavorable advices from the corn
belt and unfavorable bank statement and per-
sistent hammering by the advocates of lower
prices, held its own, and finally closed with
majority of the list fractionally higher than
last evening.
for foreign account, but first prices were r-
regularly changed from last nights figures
with no material difference in any one stock.
Notwithstanding the pressure from the traders
and the selling of foreign houses prices i'm
mediately developed strength, and with
Northern Pacific preferred and Union Pacific
leading, fractional gains were made all along
the line of railroad shares, the Improvement
in the two stocks mentioned being 2. Cord
age, however, showed again some of its pecu-
liar strength ana rose 1s. News of frost in
the corn belt, however, then gave the traders
and sold-out bulls their opportunity to make
a demonstration against values, and lille no
special activity was developed prices slowly
yielded, and before the close nearly all of the
early improvement had been neutralized.
The bank statement was also factor in
the late trading, helping the downward move
ment by reason of loss in cash of over
S4,000,000 and the depletion of the reserve of
$3,5OO,0O0 Only in the industrial, however,
was there any real weakness displayed, and
sugar was dropped 22 from its best prices
while cordage lost its early gain. The market
closed dull but heavy, generally at about
opening prices. Railroad bonds were fairly
active, but failed to maintain the strong tone
which has marked the dealings of late, and
the final changes are generally Insignificant.
A few losses are shown from last previous
sales.

THE NEW BENNINGs BRIDGE.

Proposals for the New Structure, and
Another School Opened Yesterday.
When at noon yesterday the bids were
opened for the construction Of the new
Bennings bridge and the eight-room school
building at the corner Of Third and G streets
northeast, the rooms of the District Com
missioners were filed with those interested
in these two pieces of work. The specifica-
tion sent out, only gave in general way the
plan and requirements for the bridge SO that
each Of the bidders submitted their own plans
for the details The bids were as follows:
The Phoenix Bridge Company, $4,000; El-
lery Colby. $4S, 900; Dean & Westbrook, $685.
450; A. d. Neeld, $50 $50; Nelson 81 Buchanan,
$4,000; King Iron Bridge Manufacturing
Company, $58, ,404; The Berlin Iron Bridge
Company, $69,570; The Youngstown Bridge
Company, $55,000; The Groton Bridge and
Manufacturing Company $5S, 700; Wallis iron
works, $63,618.
This bridge was provided for by the last
session of Congress which appropriated the
sum of 100000 for ga substantial stone or iron
bridge with the necessary approaches across
the Eastern Branch of the Potomac at
Bennings road In contrast with the other
bridges which have been erected In the
District the Commissioners will have charge
of the construction instead of the War De-
partment. AS the style of the structure was
left to the bidders, the plans in each case
will have to be carefully examined before an
award is made and consequently not the
lowest bidder, but the one who in the opinion
of the Engineer Department offer the best
bridge for the smallest amount will be given
the contract for the work. The existing
bridge will be removed by the contractor and
will remain the property of the District of
Columbia.
For the school building there were only the
three following bidders |. w. Sweeney, $685.
2S3; John III. Hewlett, $23,500, and John M.
Dunn, $23, ,S75.

THE WESTERN FORESTS.

Further Legislation Necessary for Their
Protection.
Commissioner Carter, Of the General Land
Office, said yesterday that the section of the
general land act of March 8, 1891, permitting
the cutting of timber on the public lands was
just now occupying much of his attention
Numerous protests against the granting of
applications have been filed. The only
method by which the Government can arrive
at a proper conclusion is by sending special
and report. This course would hereafter be
followed.
Commissioner Carter is of the opinion that
further Congressional action is necessary in
the matter of Western forests, and that the
individual States should be allowed to pass
laws not inconsistent with the general law,
looking to the punishment of depredators on
the public forest lands, and that the peace
officers in every county should be given
pecuniary interest in the enforcement of these
laws.

London, and on pretext of a ride to st.
PauFs, young Crane inveigled Miss Cooper
into carriage. Itwas driven rapidly to st.
Brides Church, and ON the way Crane drew
from his pocket q pistol and threatened to
blow out his brains instantly IL she did not
consent to marry him. In a very great fright
Miss Cooper consented, and the marriage cere-
mony was performed. Crane at once left for
the United States and the pair have never since
met. The English Judge refused to annul the
marriage, stating that Mrs. Crane proved too
much. Walter Crane, who comes from a
wealthy and aristoeratic family and is now
in New York, says that the story is piece of
fiction, which he had agreed not to deny in
order to promote the divorce. 'sThe whole
affair."" he says, "was piece of youthful folly
and infatuation." The marriage was opposed
by his parents. He met Miss Cooper in Lon
don and they Were married with her full CO.
operation. Their letters grew cold. Crane
has not seen his wife since, and now she prob
ably wants to marry somebody else and has
taken this extraordinary step to obtain
divorce.

Columbia Amateur Orchestra, under the lead
ership of Professor j. d. Rhodes, jr., made
its first public appearance. This organiza-
