HURRICANE VICTIMS
flocking Into Populous Oenters For
Shelter and Food.
TIE STORM LASTED TEN HOURS.

Dispatches Received at the British
Colonial Office Indicate That First
Reports Were Not Exageerated-Bar-
bados' Capital Scene of Desolntlon.
London, Sept. 16.-The dispatches re-
ceived at the colonial office from the
British authorities in the West Indies
indicate that, as whole, the earlier
reports of the havoc wrought by the
hurricane were not exaggerated. They
show widespread devastation.
Owing to the breakdown of the tele-
graph and telephone systems the real
extent of the disaster is still unknown
but financial aid is required to meet
the distress.
People are hocking into Kingston, st.
Vincent, from all the country around
for shelter and food. Everywhere it
appears that all the small buildings
and many large ones were destroyed.
and there is no doubt that the fatali-
ties were numerous.
Sir Cornelius Moloney, governor of
the Windward Islands, cables that two
vessels were sunk and that the fate of
many others is unknown.
The governor of Barbados, Sir J. S.
Hay, reports that the hurricane was
of ten hours duration. Already he has
been officially notified of 81 deaths and
of 81 persons seriously wounded. The
reports from the country districts in
the island are incomplete. but there
has been heavy loss of government
and private property. Assistance is ur-
gently required.
Trinidad dispatch says: A steamer
which has arrived here from Barba-
dos report that fearful havoc was
caused here by Saturday nights hurri-
cane. The destruction of property was
immense. 1t is believed over $50 per-
sons were killed throughout the island,
and numbers were rendered homeless
and destitute. The shipping suffered
seriously. The ship Loando, bark
and two barkentines broke from their
anchorage and were driven to sea.
They had not returned when the
steamer left Barbados. Many local
vessels were wrecked or blown out to
sea.
Bridgetown. the capital of the island
of Barbados, is a scene Of desoation
and ruin. Demolished or roohess
houses are to be seen on every side
and hardly tree Is standing Par
ticu!ars from the country are still
wanting.
The official reports reduce the
number of deaths at st. Vincent dur
ing the hurricane. 1t was at first es-
timated that 800 lives were lost, but it
Is now believed the number is consid-
erably smaller. The exact figures are
not obtaiable.

Double Murder and Suicide,

Louisville, Sept. 1G.-Joseph f. Vilier,
a street car motorman, his motherless
2-year- old child and woman named
Nellie McGufiin were found dead In a
room in the Enterprise hotel yesterday.
From notes left by the woman 1t was
learned that she had first given her
paramour and his child morphine In
sherry wine, but fearing that this
would not be effective had shot Vilier
through the right temple and then
turned the revolver upon herself, death
being instantaneous In each case. The
child was already dead from the eff
fects of the drug. The woman was a
domestic who had been once employed
by Nillier.
