cinders: the others are covered by a
very thick growth of trees up to a
height of 1900 or 5000 feet. Above the

ST. Pierre, told, II is stated, by a person
who was aboard the schooner Gabriel: "A
scientific commission, presided by the
Governor NJ. Mouttet, assembled in St.
Pierre on May Z, the day before the calam-
ity. for the purpose of studying the phe-
nomena of the volcanic disturbances of
Mont Pelee. 1t was agreed by the men,
bers of the commission that the relative
position of the craters and the valleys
touching on the sea were such that the
scientists could affirm that the security of
ST. Pierre was complete, and this an
nouncement was made to allay the fears OF
the frightened citizens. The sun rose clear
over St Pierre at o'clock on the morn
ink of May s. Mont Pelee was smoking
to the north, and the wind was blowing
westward. A few minutes before o'clock
a great white column of what seemed to be
stham and gas belched forth from an ap
parently new crater OH Mont Pelee, which
seemed to be about two hundred yards
from the original crater, and which ap-
peared to open up a deep rent from the
top to the bottom of the mountain. This
outbreak caused the utmost CONSERVATION
and panic among the inhabitants of st.
Pierre, who lied toward the seashore, ut
yering frightful screams in anticipation,
evidently, of what was TO follow. Those
on the Gabriel observed a small steam

Mrs. Frederick ID. Beck Burned to
Death and Her Mother, Mrs.
Emmet, Fatally Injured.
HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.
MRS. BECK CARRIED LIGHTED LAMP
INTO HER BEDROOM
deavoring to Effect n Rescue
The House Damaged.

AS the result of the sudden explosion of a
kerosene lamp. Mrs. Frederick D. Beck. of
222 Miley avenue, was burned to death
about half past o'clock this morning, and
her mother, Mrs Emmett. was so badly in
jured that she will probably die.
In horror the affair exceeds anything of
the kind that has happened in this city in
recent years. Mrs Beck. who was about
fifty-seven years OF age, and who was the
wife of a well-known travelling man of the
city, bade her mother good night at the
foot OF the stairs leading to her own apart
ments and started TO her room, lighting her
way with an ordinary coal oil lamp.
She had prepared for bed before going
upstairs, and was dressed simply in her
nightgown. When in her bedroom she had
completed her preparations to retire and
was about to blow out the light when her
foot caught on some obstruction on the
carpet and she stumbled and started to
fall. Losing her grip on the handle of the
lamp, 1t fell from her hands and struck
the floor with a crash.
A terrific explosion resulted, which not
only set fire TO Mrs. Beck's thin apparel.

OF flame came in contact with her night
dress and ii burst into flame. Insane with
fright she fled to the door and downstairs
to where her mother was sitting, screaming
and calling for aid.
Mrs. Emmett is a woman seventy-two
years of age and has not been in the best
of health. When she saw her daughter
coming. toward her covered with flames she
tottered to her feet and caught up some bed
clothes that were nearby. She made a
desperate effort to smother the burning
garments but her own weakness and the
progress the flames had made rendered the
effort vain.

with face and hands already burned to a
crisp. Mrs. Emmet ran into the street. call
ing for aid. Mrs. Ed Hussy, of 226 Miley

the cause of her cries.

her efforts to save her daughters life was
hardly able to give her a coherent answer.
but finally managed to tell her of the aw-
full accident which had happened.
BY this time the house had burst into
flame and the neighborhood had been
aroused. Mrs Hussy, with the assistance
of other members of her family, carried
Mrs. Emmett into her own house, where
she was cared for in the best manner pos
sible.
DOUBLE HOUSE.
The house in which Mrs Beck lived with
her mother is a large double structure.
The north half is occupied by Walter Ber-
tel and family.
For some reason the Bertels were not
awakened by the noise of the explosion and
the screams of the burned women. A big
St. Bernard dog, which was in the rear Of
the Bertel's half of the house, by his hoarse
barking. eventually attracted their atten-
ton and aroused them to a sense of their
own danger.
When the firemen arrived a crowd of
people had gathered in front of the
burning house but no one seemed TO know
what TO do or that a woman was burning
to death inside the house. Mrs. Hussy the
only one who knew that Mrs Beck was still
inside the house. was in her home caring
for Mrs. Emmet
The fremen instantly ran into the house
and the first sight that met their eyes was
the blackened body of Mrs. Beck, who Law

and the entrance of the yard. She was

yard. But too much time had elapsed, and
