DEADLY EARTHQUAKES.
Hundreds OF People In tho Leeward

Hundreds OF People in tho Leeward
Islands knled-vnst Damage Done.
NEW YORK, May IA dispatch to
the Herald from Jamaica says: News
has just been received here of series
of earthquakes throughout the chain
of Leeward islands that caused the loss
of hundreds OF lives. All the islands
in the group are said to have been af-
fected. The loss of life has been very
large, but at this time, owing to the
imperfect means of communication
between the islands. it is impossible to
estimate it definitely. Many buildings
collapsed during the most serious
shock. which occurred yesterday
morning and lasted for forty seconds.
The damage to property will probably
prove to be very large.
''Montser-at, one of the smaller ISL
ands of the group, has been the
worst sufferer. In common with the
other islands. it expected q severe
shock yesterday. but the trembling of
the earth began last Friday and con-
tinued throughout the week. The in
habitants of the islands, according to
reports received. are in q state of
widest panic and many of the towns
have been practically deserted. the in
habitants having taken to boats in
large numbers.

HOT TAR FOR WOMEN.
Moral Reformers Garry Correction to

Moral Reformers Garry Correction to
tho Border OF Fiendishness.
WESTON, W. Va, May 3.-This city
was the scene last night Of the most
fiendish outrage that ever disgraced
the history of West Virginia, and
which will probably result in murder.
Some weeks ago two young women
came here from Clarksburg and took
up their abode in tie outskirts.
Their names are Ida Duncan and
Bertha Merriman. In a few days it
became noised about that they were
not of good character. The rumors
took on more objectionable features,
and late last night u party of men got
together, secured bucket of tar and
proceeded to the women's home to
drive them out of the city. They
broke open the doors, heated the tar,
stripped the women and applied it
with brushes to the bare bodies Ply
sicians are doing all in their power for
the women. but there is little hope of
saving Bertha Merrimans life, her
condition being terrible. Miss Dun
can may survive, but she is suffering
awful agony from the burns and the
shock she sustained There is no defin.
tie clue to the perpetrators of the out
rage, and no arrests have been made.
Officers arc at work.
