Work at v at Tunnel

Clearing out the debris :nd taking
up the old rails in the v & T burn
ed tunnel at the Jacket new shaft is
about completed. The heat from the
burning timbers warped the rails so
that it will be necessary to lay new
iron and ties throughout the entire
length of the tunnel AS the material
is on the ground this work will begin
today SO that cars can be run through
it by Thursday. 1t is not likely that
heavy trains will be run through the
tunnel until it is retimbered, as the
jar might cause rock in the roof
cracked by heat to cave. 1t is GER
tain that no passenger trains will be
run through the tunnel until it is alb.

work they had the presence of Will

who arrived early in the morning and
took quarters at the Palmer House.

only a few were seriously injured.

Carriages of the nobility and members
of the imperial household were several
times mixed up in the melees. The
authorities made evident efforts to pre-

remarkably successful, considering the
magnitude of the demonstration.
Genesis of the Demonstration.
The students of St. Petersburg, on
Sunday, March II, 1901, organized
what was intended to be an imposing
demonstration in front of the cathe-
dral of Our Lady of Kazan, the occa-
sion being the anniversary of the
death of Vetrora, a girl who committed
suicide some years ago in a dungeon
of the political prison in the fortress
of st. Peter and st. Paul. in order to
escape infamous persecution. Serious
rioting ensued; the students were at.
tackled by Cossacks and police, and
about 800 arrests Were made.

The following from an Gun
known" lacks nothing in frankness
and is certainly to the point: do
not beg so much of the business men.
There is seldom a week passes, and
hardly a day, when our citizens who
are engaged in business are not called
upon to contribute something for
charity's sake. 1t is always the mer-
chants who are asked to shoulder this
varied and gratuitous giving. Some
people seem to think that
they who are in business a
pick up dollars anywhere and ought
to contribute willingly and literally
every time asked. We just say as a
rule that dollars are no more plentl-
full with business people than with
any other. Just remember they have
troubles of their own. Beg your
zone for a while of the land owners
and retired men who have plenty OF
money drawing interest. The bust
ness men would appreciate the
change"

New York, May 13-Relief parties
have ventu1ed into the streets of st.
Pierre, says a Castries (St. Lucia)
dispatch to The Herald. 1t was not
expected that survivors would be
found and SO there has been no disap-
pointment at the mournful reports
that have been returned.
Piles of dead in the vicinity of the
site of the cathedral tell a story of an
attempt to find shelter in the great
structure of worship. Men and women,
panic stricken at the cataclysm, turn
ed in the moment of their despair to
the cathedral and were apparently
overcome before they could reach it's
doors.
So far the search has been hindered
by the fires that are still raging and
the investigators are in great danger.
From the positions of the bodies the
opinion is formed that many were
overcome almost before they resliz ed
the extent OF the peril. Many of the
bodies are in lifelike positions, as
though death had come with a breath,
as, indeed, may have been the case.
Steps have been taken to prevent
disease from resulting from the disas-
ter. Burial parties are working night
and day, but it is impossible that the
dead can be cared for as their friends
would WISH.
Military rule is established in the
town to prevent vandals from work.

yards OF the Panhandle railroad was
the scene during the evening of one
of the most disastrous explosions
and fires known in this section for
many years. A score Of lives we're
lost and about 200 persons were so
badly burned that, according to the
Judgment of physicians in attendance,
Is per cent OF them will die from the
effects of their injuries.
The cause Of the catastrophe was
the explosion of train of naphtha
cars which were being switched al
the yard, and in the switching the
rear car telescoped the car forward.
The leaking naphtha ignited from &

threw the flames SO feet high.

St. Thomas, D. w. l., May 10.-The
French cruiser Suchet has arrived at
Pointe-a-Pitre, Island of Guadeloupe,
French West Indies, from Fort de
France, Island of Martinique, bringing
several refugees. She confirmed the
report that the town of st. Pierre,
Martinique, was entirely destroyed at
8 o'clock on Thursday morning by a
volcanic eruption.
It is supposed that most of the in.
habitants of st. Pierre were killed,
that the neigh boring 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 during the
morning, reports having passed St.
Pierre Thursday night. The steamer
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 shore, but not living soul was
seen ashore, only flames.
The commander Of the Suchet re.
ports that at 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 I'M
able to penetrate the town. They saw
heaps of bodies upon the wharves and
it is believed that not a single person
resident in St. Pierre at the moment Of
the catastrophe, escaped.
The governor of the colony and his
staff colonel and wife were in ST
Pierre and probably persisted. 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 wer,
dead or dying. Nearly every membe
of the crew is dead. Supercargo Camp

81 Washington, May 13.-The presi-
dent has sent the following message
to congress: ~.
TO the Senate and House Of Repre-
ID sentatives: - S5s*@ Z. 2=%4
S One of the greatest calamities In
history has fallen upon our neighbor-
ing Island of Martinique. The consul
IT the United States at Guadeloupe
has telegraphed from Fort de France
that the disaster is complete; that the
city Of St. Pierre has ceased to exist
and that the American consul and his
family have persisted. He is Informed
that 10000 people have lost their lives,
and that $4,000 are homeless and hun
cry; that there is urgent need of all
kind of provisions and that the visit
IT vessels for the work of supply and
rescue is imperatively required.
The government Of France, while
expressing their thanks for the marks
of sympathy which have reached
them from America, inform US that
Fort de France and the entire island
of Martinique are still threatened.
They, therefore, request that, for the
purpose of rescuing the people who
are in such deadly peril and threat
ened with starvation, the government
of the United States may send, as
soon as possible, the means of trans
porting them from the stricken ISL
and. The island of st. Vincent, and
perhaps others in that region, are also
seriously menaced by the calamity
which has taken so appalling form
in Martinique.
Il have directed the departments
of treasury, of war and Of the navy to
take such measures for the relief of
these stricken people as lies within
the executive discretion and I ear
nestly commend this cose Of unexam-
pied disaster to the generous consid.
Grafton of the congress. For this pur.
pose 1 recommend that an appropria'
ton of 100000 be made; to be imme'
diately available"
