People living near the corner Of Della

disturbed about the two pumps I'm that
neiehb0rhood. one of which is on Market
street. adjoining the residence OF Dr.
Iofand and the other in front of the
store of H. NJ Chase and Son. The lat
ter has been for years known as "Chase's
pump These two pumps were noted
all over the city as giving out ths purest
and coolest drink that could be obtained
anywhere. and &c was said that, ifa visi.
tor once drank a glass of water from &C.,
Doe would remain IN New Castle. While
this is part fiction. yet there are visitors
WHO, after tasting this water are loud

Since the two pumps were replaced
by new ones some time ago they have
been giving ont bad water, and some
people though that this was caused by
contamination with gasos from the jail
sewers This Is another important
question for city council TO consider.

about very pretty travelling dress for a
young person. You will find it shown in

the collar is also covered with the galloon.
The jacket hangs open and the skirt grazes
the ground. Crepons are extremely modish
for out-of-door costumes, races, rowing and
sports of all day.

at Homestead indefinitely The order to
go home made the men very happy. There
is no dissatisfaction among the men who
have to stay, though of course, they cannot
help but wish that they too had been order

THE GREAT sANaIER DISASTER
More Details Brought In By an In
dian Steamer.

The steamer Empress of India, arrived at
Victoria, b. c., bringing additional details
of the disastrous volcanic eruption of
Great SANGER Island, Without any warn
ing signal. without any sign whatever Of
impending disturbance, the Gunong Aroo
volcano blazed forth on June I, and within
twenty-four hours the whole of the pros
porous surrounding country was devastated.
The loss Of life is something frightful, but
no accurate estimate of it can be made. Some
place it as high as 10000. The captain of
the ship which took assistance to the suffer
ers says that 10000 is not too high figure
as an estimate of the number of dead A
thousand bodies have been picked up on the
shore and many were found floating in the
sea.
To add to the horror of the situation
earthquakes began June 0. Village after
village was engulfed, hundreds of people
dropping into the great cracks in the earth
The whole country is under layer of mud,
ashes and stones. All vegetation is either
burned up by the awful heat Of the volcano
fires, or has been destroyed by the dense
ashes and dust.
The suffering among those who escaped
with their lives has been most acute. All
the food on the island has been destroyed
and but for the prompt assistance of the
neighboring islands many would have starv-
ed. The whole Of the island is a mass of
smouldering ruins. The people who lived
and prospcred there have lost all they ever
had and now the only thing for the survi-
vors to do is to leave for another and moro
favored spot, or stay there and die
