NO ELECTION IN VERMONT
No Candidate for Governor Has Majority

Over All the Others.
White River Junction, VT, Sept. g.
There is no election by the people for
governor and lieutenant gOvrnor as the
result of the state election in Vermont
yesterday. The returns indicate that
Perciyal w. Clement high license
option candidate, is running very
close to General John G. Mccullough
(Rep.), Of Bennington. The returns
from 200 cities and towns out of 246
give the following vote for governor:
General John G. Mccullough Rep.),
2e,497; Felix w. McGettrick Dem.) !,
CLIP; Percival w. Clement (high IL
cense), q, ,239; Joel G. Sherbourne Pro),
2,052.
Clement is a Republican who favors
q high license and local option law in
place Of the present prohibition law.
He was a candidate before the regular
Republican state convention, but he and
his friends bolted, declaring that they
could not get q fair hearing, and he
was nominated at another convention.
The regular Republicans put In their
platform high license and local option
plank, but it was very much modified
and milder.
Clement showed great strength in
the large cities, his home town. Rut-
land, giving him a majority of 1,214
out of a total vote of 1859. The re-
turns show that General Mccullough
did not begin to hold the Republican
vote, Clement getting his strength
from this detection, to which was add
ed, it seems, about one-half of the to-
tai Democratic strength in the state.
The Republican cadidates for con-
gress are elected by usual majOrities;
also the legislature.

We're killed and that several hundred
were injured as the result of a violent
eruption of Mont Pelee on Saturday,
Aug. 80, which destroyed MOrne Rouge
and Ajoupa Bouilloh, two villages near

report that the village of LIE Carbet

Aug. 31.-A remarkable volcanic phe-
nomenon occurred here between 8 and
~ O'Clock last night. There was a
startling series of detOnatiOns from La
Soufriere, louder than any since the
terrible eruption of May IL. Each ex-
plosiOn shook the buildings of this
town. The noises were terrific. and
gave the impression in every town and
village of this island that the scene
of disturbance was only about two
miles away. During the period of in
tense anxiety which attended the de-
donations. two luminous circles like
rainbOws, appeared in the cloudless
sky to the northwest. They were pre-.
sumably the reflection of the flames III

Quently a dense cloud of steam arose
from the crater, but this soon dis
perSed.

loud detOnatiOns were heard at these
places between 9 and 10 o'clock OF

liar to those heard when Mont Pelee
on Martinique, and La Soufriere were
previously in eruption. The people OF
Grenada were greatly alarmed at the
detonations; they were the loudest
which have been heard there.
They Fear for Martinique.
This phenomenon was not attended
by serious results on st. Vincent, but
fears are entertained here for people
on the Island of Martinique, as Mont
Pelee is known TO be still terribly agi
tated, two eruptions having occurred
there in the last six days. The first
eruption was witnessed Aug. q by pas
sengers on the French steamer Da

destruction while passing near st

Telegraphic communication with the
