Exaggerated Statement Made OF the st.
LOuIA Dlsaster


81. Louis, May 30.-The Post Dispatch
this afternoon prints a statement which
very materially mobiles all pervious es-
Inmates Of the aggregate loss by the hur-
ricane Of wednesday. The article says:
No estimate Of the financial loss sus-
tained by this city from the storm ap-
preaching a correct figure nearer than
several millions can be prepared az least
for week. But It Is already evident
that the representations OF loss eaualhng
and sometimes exceeding S50.00l,0 900 are
as unfounded upon fact as are the re-
ports printed by many foreign papers
that the loss OF life would reach thous-
ands. These statements made in the
midst OF weird and vague Impressions or
the night OF the storm and the succeed
ing day might temporarily be allowed 10
pass unchalienged; but now that ST.
Louis has partially recovered its com
posure and set itself to the task Of resto-
ration, exaggeration should be done away
with and the measures OF relief fitted 10
the actual conditions.
The Post-Dispatch estimates the total
property loss at a0,0o0,0O0. Police Com
missioner J. A. Lee said:

ROCKS ABOVE the street.
Boston. May O.-Worlxmen who were
blasting for building stone at West Som
erville uncovered a ledge OF gold and
silver bearing ore on Thursday which
assayed at $22l.l4 a ton.
The ledge is located on a part Of what
is locally known as the old Tufts estate,
an acre in area, which was bought a
few weeks ago by True W. Townsend,
of Somerville, with the idea OF develop
ing 1t for building purposes. The ground
rises six feet above the grade of the
street, and he began reducing It 10 the
level Looking over some of the broken
stone Mr.. Townsend noticed several
bright pieces. He showed them to a
friend, mineralogist, who declared
they were valuable.
MIR. Townsend gave a specimen of ore to

ued at $22.74. a total OF $22l.l4
Lead, sulphate OF copper and gray cop
per were also found in the specimen.
Examination shows that the vein is
about forty feet long and fifteen feet
deep. At the top the vein is only halt
an inch wide, but widens to seven inches
at the bottom.
Old Inhabitants say that some years
ago a man named Emerson, who operated
the Tufts farm. spent much time in pros
pecting, with little success.

GREENWOOD CEMETERY

Out on the hillside cold and drear,
In silent graves lie friends so dear.
Friends who have gone TO the great be-
yond-
still hold our hearts In friendships bond.
Some have passed the prime OF life,
Have endured their share OF sorrow and
strife;
And now they mingle With the blest and
good
In the silent city called Greenwood.
From the respected old to the newborn
babe
Are lying at rest meath the trees shade;
Each day they are added one by one
To their rest in Greenwood they daily
come.
Some mothers son, some husbands wife,
Each lays down the burden OF life
And are laid to rest with the blest ana
good
In that silent city called Greenwood.
From day to day. from year TO year,
Some one rides In an honored bier;
Somebody's darling, somebody's pride.
Their race run, have slckened and died.
And now lie buried where the river flows,
While the chilly blast OF winter blows;
Soon the warm south wind. in a sunny
mood.
WIN waken flowers that grow in Green
wood.
Alas! that DEATH" twill surely come;
How quickly our span OF life is run
For soon this piece of bleeding clay
WIN rest in Greenwood cemetery.
Meath the pine trees protecting shade
Our feeble bodies VIII soon be laid.
Forever twill lie with the blest and good
In the silent city called Greenwood.

INFECTED GERMAN BEEF.
Impure Food Seized in Berlin Came From
Mecklenburg, Not America.

Berlin, May SO-Four hundred pounds
of beef infected with tuberculosis was
seized at the Berlcin Trades Exhibition
in the institution devoted to the sale OF
cheap food. The infected meat came
from Mecklenburg, and not from Amer
lea, which country the German argarian
politicians profess to regard as the place
of origin OF all the diseased meats in
the world.
In spite of the dictum of Baron Won
-Loxten, Prussian minister
of agriculture, domains and forests. that
1t is impossible to prevent the importa-
ton of foreign animals. the provincial
governors have one after another closed
their boundaries against the adjoining
provinces on the ground that the animals
raised in them are infected with foot
and mouth disease and ailments of that
kind, and now the frontier of Prussian
Silesia has been closed against Russian
hogs

AGED NATIVE WOMAN SUFFERS
IN THE FLAMES.
Man Narrowly Escapes-A Grass Hut
at Waialae-Lamp Overturned-The
Rescue Worn Done.

There was n fatal blaze at Waialae
ranch at 1880 o'clock this morning.
y grass house accidentally caught
fire and burned an old native woman
name, Mamaka so severely that she
died in half hour. Her husband. an
old man, was also burned, but not
dangerously INJURED. The grass house
and all the belongings of the aged
couple were destroyed.
The old people were asleep on their
mats. 1t seems, from all the circum-
stances, that Mamaka knocked over IA
lighted lamp that had been left near
her. The man was awakened by the
smell of smoke, and almost at the
same instant the bedding and cloth
ing of his wife were enveloped in
flames.
Before the woman could be extri-
Gated she was horribly burned about
the legs, arms, face and back. and
died in great agony. Had it not been
for the quick and brave rescue work
of natives from an adjoining house.
both of the old people would have been
incinerated in their hut.
Mrs. Isenberg was in town at the
time of the accident, but returned i'm
mediately home upon hearing of it..
She did everything to relieve the suf-
ferings of the old man, and has ar
woman. There were no haoles at hand
when the accident occurred.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock was not
ifiei of the case at 0 o'clock. He will
empanel a jury and hold an inquest at
Waialae.

HAVE DEVELOPED WITH COOLIES
OFF THE S. S. CHINA.
In the Mild FORMAL Have Been Vac
cinated-Precautions to Keep the
Disease from the City.

Three eases of smallpox in mild
form appeared at the Quarantine sta
tion this morning.
The men. coolies arrived per S. S.
China, were complaining Tuesday
night. This morning the smallpox was
manifest. DR.. Day was summoned
and examined the men. He ordered
them to be Immediately segregated.
There are 233 Chinese and 70 Japan
ese on the Island.
The cases came from the one that
broke out on the China and was left
at Yokohama. At that place all the
Chinese steerage passengers were
carefully vaccinated under the super
vision of DR.. Eldredge.
In the case of the three patients ut
quarantine the treatment took all
right. The vaccination wounds were
found this morning to be inflamed.
Without this protection the disease
would be of the worst type. AS it is
it is what is termed varioloid. or mild
smallpox. The men were exposed on
the China prior to being vaccinated ut
Yokohama.
1t is the opinion that other cases
will follow at the island. A large
number of the men over there were
equally exposed to the disease on the
China. Fortunately all have been sue
cessfully vaccinated, thus reducing the
danger to minimum. Every person
in Quarantine was examined this
morning.
1t is not believed that the city is in
any great danger. The three cases
have been isolated from the other per-
sons on the island, and close watch
for new ones is being kept. All COM
munieation with the island is suspend
ed. Capt. Scott is in charge of po-
lice guard and King McVeigh is more
alert than ever.

Manuel Abreu, one of the men arrest
ed, endeavored to bring battery pro-
ceedings against Henry Espinda, Off
Ger, whom, he charged, had assaulted
and numerically beat him. Deputy
Marshal Hitchcock refused to prose
cute the case in the District Court and
it was accordingly thrown out. Now
comes Abreu with a civil suit against
Espirda and c. Bollman. asking 5000
damages for injuries and ill-treatment
received on the occasion of the riot.
The case will be heard in the District
Court during this afternoon.

NEW LEASE OF LIFE FOR THE
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Faithful NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
Otiicers-Proposal for Constitu.
tional Change-The FINANCES.

The American League held an old
time meeting Tuesday evening. Be-
sides the officers twenty-five members
were present. President r. b. Murray
occupied the chair.
An analysis of the roll showed that
there remained 14j good paying mem
bers upon it. 1t was decided to reor-
ganize on a basis of these names and
add others as they may qualify.
Nominations for officers for the en-
suing year resulted in the following
slate: For President, T. b. Murray:
first vice. J. n. Wright; second vice,
A. l.. Clark: retary, T. p. SEVERN;
treasurer, }. w. Prescott; trustees.C.
L. Crabbe, j. Delaney and w. L. Bow
ers. Election will be held next Tues
day evening. Nominations hold over
until that time. The officers are elect
ed for one year.
The matter of eliminating the ma
tionality feature from the Constitu-
tlOn anu throwing tne membership
open TO all who can otherwise qualify
was brought up. Several of the speak
ers argued in favor of the move on
the general ground that all conscien-
tious supporters of the society, ire
spective of nationality, had the same
aims and ends in view and should not
be debarred from afiiliating with the
League. This matter also went over
for week, when the Constitutional
amendment may be proposed unless
good grounds why it snouid not be
done are shown.
The statement of an expert account
ant showed the finances of the organi-
zation to be in much better shape
than had been supposed. Total indebt-
edness was found not to exceed $50
while more than twice that amount is
in easy reach. In few days the or
ganization will be able to start with
free skirts once more.

TO THE REEF.

The only sensation of the Morrow
trial today was the evidence of the
man Morrow. He admitted drawing n
pistol on Curtis, but said he did so
because the police refuse to protect
him. The Spray was his property and
he used the gun to drive Curtis away
from her. He did not intend to shoot.
The case was finished at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. Morrow was given
three months on the reef and fined
$50; DR.. Underwood was given Il
month and a fine of $25. Both have
appealed to the August term.

HORSELESS CARRIAGE.
The First VIII Be Imported by Well
Known Citizen.

Theo. Hoffman of the Hawaiian
Electric Company will likely be the
man to break the ice for the introduc-
ton of horseless carriages into Homo
lulu. He has been studying price
list and is seriously considering the
matter of ordering one to arrive in the
next two months.
The horseless roadster which Homo
lulu may soon see is described as =
very innocent appearing vehicle. To
the rear axle is fastened small wheel
connecting directly with n charged
battery beneath the seat. This at
tachment is what sets the whole thing
to spinning. The vehicle, loaded, will
make fourteen miles an hour on an
even grade. 1t is backed or turned
with the greatest ease. The one which
has struck the fancy of the electrician
will cost in the neighborhood of 5000
delivered here 1t will come from
Chicago.
