A misunderstanding.

The Raleigh, w. Va, Register, says
a flnny thing happened over at Green
Sulphur d few days ago. y yonng
man was courting in that vicinity and
kissed his girl. when she bluShed and
pretended to be offended and threaten
ed to tell her father and rushed out to
the back porch where the old man
was ojling his gun. BY the time she
reached her father, her anger had cool
ed and to account to her father for
her sudden appearance said, Pa, Mr..
kissum wants to see your gun" TAX
ing up the gun the man went to the
parlor door, and the young fellow see
ing him with the gun thought he was
going to be shot and jumped through
the window and fled. The old man
thinking he had gone insane went
through the window after him. He
never stopped running until he thought
he was safe from the old mans wrath,
who returned to the house where his
daughter explained. It took twenty
page letter for the girl to explain the
situation, and now things are running

Mr.. Dorninick Exoncrated.

The joint legislative committee in Ses-
sion Wednesday afternoon TO inyesti-
gate the charges made against Repre-
sentative DominicK, after lengthy
session, exonerated Mr.. Dominick.
Several witnesses were examined, but
nothing Of a sensational character
was developed and at six o'clock the
committee went into executive SeS-
sion. At $50 they came out, but
would not make public the text of
this report, but it was ascertained
that all members Of the conference
committee will be eXonerated. The
committee it is understood will hold
that the testimony shows that the
actions of Mr.. Dominick in attempt
ing to amend the bill in the way he
did was open and not accompanied by
misrepresentation of facts. AS to the
complaint that he tried to insert for
eign matter, it is said that the at
tempt was made openly and he sup
ported the proposition upon the floor
of the house at length in a speech.
The report will attach no blame to
his actions except insofar as the COM
mittee does not approve Of such legis-
lation though it has been INDUCED in
before.

place was warm and smoke was seen to
come from the hole dug. Digging
still deeper each shorelful became hot
ter as it was taken out. Digging a
little deeper, red Goals were found,
and as soon as the breeze famed 1t
it blazed. The fire department was
notified and stream Of water was
turned on.

THAT settles it," said Mr.. Carmack,
IF the senator from Iowa thinks it of
no importance it cannot be. However
Mr.. President, since the chair rules
that my language is out Of order l
will withdraw it,
With this statement the exchange
Of personalities between the senators
from Tennessee and Iowa ceased. Al
most Immediately Mr.. Carmack rose
from his scat and walked over to Mr.:
Dolliver and shock hands with him cor
diaily. After chatting a minute or
two in evident good feeling, the
Tennessee senator stepped down to the
desk Of lir. Hoar and shook hands
as cordially with the venerable senator
from Massachusetts. Thus the sharp
debate between senator's was ended in
perfect good humOr.

Spouse was received. and three men
volunteered to go to O'Brien's aid,
Gunnysacks dipped in water were put
over their heads and they were low

reached the low deck when a cry for
help came up. The chain was hoisted
again and two of the would-be rcscuerS
were brought up in fainting condl-

Herr Most and the Law.

Herr Most, the New York anarchist,
was sent to jail fer one year in New
York Monday. Most had been found
guilty of circulating incendiary lit
erature some time ago and sentenced,
but his lawyer appealed the case.
Pending a decision, Most was out On
bail and spent his time circulating
more literature of the same kind. The
case was decided against Most and he
was informed Sunday that he would
be arrested that night. The anarchists
of New York gave him a rousing send
off, and the police had great difficulty
in getting Most out of the hall. The
New York papers state that Most and
his associates have been going amongst
the newly arrived foreigners OF the
city and exciting great sympathy for
themselves by posing as martyrs, op-
pressed by the government. and, as a
consequence, have gained many con-
yerts, who will in the future give the
police much trouble.

Saws ills True.

Mr.. Adam Loskoskie, an Anderson
boy who has been serving in Uncle
Sans army in the Philippines, has
been spending a week or so with rela-
tives in and near that city. Mr..
Loskoskie fully corroborates the stories
that have been printed in the news
papers about the cruelties practiced
upon the natives by the American
troops. Some of the atrocities the
soldiers have been guilty Of are, he
says, almost beyond believing. He
saw the noted water cure" ad-
ministered numbers of times, and on
one occasion he saw batch Of Is ma
tives taken out and hanged because
they would not give certain informa-
tion regarding the insurgents which
they were supposed to possess. He
said that the orders given by the
officers were often very diStaSteful to
the enlisted men in carrying out these
cruelties. and that there was much
dissatisfaction.

Industrial Education.

If the state has the right to tax
the people to educate the children OF
the state" says President c. 4. VaW-
ter of the Miller school, then it sure
ly should use the money in that way
which will give the state the best re-
suits. 1t should educate our children
toward what they have to do in life:
not away from it. There is no deny
ing the fact that our present scholas-
tic education tends to draw our chill
dren away from industrial pursuits.
Surely the object Of public education
should be to enable our children to be-
come good. useful. honest. loyal cltl-
zens, and equip them Tor llfe-work
that lies before them.

4 GPEAT DISASTER.
Forty Thousand People Perished In a
Fiery Deluge
ON THE ISLAND OF MARTINIQUE.
Was Shocked.

The French cruiser Suchet arrived
at Pointe-aPitre. Island OF Guadalupe,
French West Indies, from Fort de
France. Island of Martinique. Friday
morning, bringing several refugees.
She confirmed the report that the
town OF St. Pierre, Martinique. was
entirely destroyed at 5 O'Clock on
Thursday morning by volcanic erup-
tion. 1t is supposed that most OF the
inhabitants of St. Pierre were killed,
that the neighboring parishes were
laid waste and that the residue Of the
population of st. Pierre is without
food or shelter.
The British Royal Mail steamer
Esk, which arrived at st. Lucia Fri
day morning, reports having passed
St Pierre Thursday night. The Stea-
mer was covered with ashes, though
she was five miles distant from the
town, which was in impenetrable
darkness. A boat was sent in as near
as possible to the shore, but not liv-
ing soul was seen ashore, only flames.
The Quebec Steamship companyS
steamer Roraima was seen to explode
and disappear.
The commander Of the Suchet re-
ports that at l o'clock on Thursday
the entire town of St. Pierre was
wrapped in flames. He endeavored to
save about 80 persons more or less
burned from the vessels in the harbOr.
His officers went ashore in small boats
seeking for survivors. but were unable
to penetrate the town. They saw heaps
of bodies upon the wharveS and it is
believed that not single person resi-
dent in St. Pierre at the moment of
the catastrophe escaped. The COVER
nor Of the colony and his staff colonel
and wife were in ST. Pierre and pro-
badly perished. The extent Of the
catastrophe cannot be imagined. The
captain of the British steamer Roddam
was very seriously injured and is now
in the hospital at St. Lucia. All Of
his officers and engineers are dead or
dying Nearly every member of the
crew is dead. Super Cargo Campbell
and ten of the crew eff the Roddam
jumped overheard at St. Pierre and
were lost.
TIE British schooner Ocean Traveller
Of St. Johns, \. B., arrived at the
Island of Dominica, British West In
dies, ats o'clock Friday afternoon. She
reported that she was obliged to flee
from the Island of St. Vincent, 3. W.
l., during the afternoon Of Wednesday.
May :, in consequence Of heavy fall
of sand from volcano which was
erupting there. She tried to reach the
Island of St. Lucia, B. W. l., but ad-
verse currents prevented her from so
doing. The schooner arrived opposite
St. Pierre, Martinique, Thursday morn
ing, May s. While about a mile off
the volcano (of Mont Pelee) exploded
and FIRE from it swept the whole town
of St. Pierre, destroying the town and
the shipping there, including the cable
repair ship Grappler Of the West India
and Panama Telegraph company Of
London, which was engaged in repair
ing the cable near the Guerin factory.
The Ocean Traveller while on her way
to Dominica encountered quantity OF
Wreckage.
