GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION.
OF the Awful Scenes During the
S0ufriere Eruption.

In a dispatch from its cor
respondent in the Island of st.
Vincent, B. w. l., the n. Y. Herald
says.
Admonitory rumblings and earth
quakes in the vicinity of Soufriere
came two weeks ago
On Monday, May ), the lake in
the old crater became greatly dis
turbed. On Tuesday at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon the mountain be
gan series of volcanic efforts.
Several earthquakes followed these
terrible noises, and detonations
succeeded quickly. At Z o'clock
in the evening an immense column
of steam issued from the crater
and lasted until midnight.
Terrific explosions follwed on
Wednesday morning, and at Z
o'clock there was another sudden
violent escape of steam. This as
cended for three hours when other
material was elected
At noon three craters appeared
to open and began to vomit lava
Six streams at once ran down the
sides Of the mountain, making an
awful scene. The mountain labored
heavily for half an hour after the
appearanceofthe lava. Fire flashed
around the edges Of the craters,
and there were tremendous detona-
tions in succession, rapidly merg-
ing into continuous roar. This
lasted through Wednesday night
and until Friday morning. The
thunderings of the volcanic action
were heard throughout the Carib-
bean sea
The eruption began Wednesday.
A huge clowd in a dark and dense
column, charged with volcanic
matter, rose to a height of eight
miles from the mountain top.
Darkness like midnight descended
and the sulphurous air was laden
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-05-20

with fine dust. A black rain fol
lowed, rain of Favilla scoriae
rocks and stones. There were
bright flashes, numerous and mar.
velously rapid. These, with thun
derlng, the mountain shocks, the
earthquake roar, the lava and fall
ing stones, created scene of
horror. Large areas of cultivation
have been buried beneath the vol
canic matter. On the windward
coast seven plantations are totally
destroyed. Nothing green is
visible.
Sixteen hundred and twenty
deaths are already reported. There
are l67 cases IN the hospitals at
Georgetown under treatment. The
deaths have been caused chiefly by
suffocation by the sulphurous gas,
lightning and burning lava mosses.
Few of the cases in the hospital
are likely TO recover. The crew of
II. NJ. 5. Indelatigable buried thirty
peasants found dead on the Owia
estate, north of Soufrere.
A new crater is reported formed
on the Richmond estate near the
seashore.
The country districts on the
windward coast are Uttered with
dead bodies.
Kingston, the capital, and the
whole population, are safe. There
have been no accidents or deaths.
Clouds Of dust are blowing over
the city, however. The royal mail
steamer Wear, is transporting food
and water to the leeward coast
sailing vessels proceed to the wind
ward coast on the same errand
Doctors and nurses have gone to
the scenes of distress.
The majority of thecorpses being
found are covered with ashes, de-
composed and hardly approachable
The dead are being buried in
trenches, thirty in each.

KNOWS GAMBLING EXISTS.

"What greater indictment before
the public could be made? In my
opinion, none, short of actual crim-
inal proceedings. will say to you,
as said to your official predeces-
sors in Office (who were as skillful
in avoiding the suppressing OF gam
ing as you could ever hope to be)
that you know, and l know, and
every sane man in Louisville knows,
that gambling does not exist in
this city, and you, in your Official
capacity, as members of the Board
of Public Safety, are in one Of the
three following conditions. Either
unwilling to-suppress gambling for
reasons best known to yourselves,
too innocent and unsuspecting TO
live in so large town or grossly
incompetent to take proper steps
to suppress it, and therefore unfit
to hold your present positions on
the board.

A Citizen Speaks TO the Board of
Public Safety.

The Jefferson county grand jury
say they cannot become detectives
in order to locate gambling dens
and fix the illegal proceedings on
any gambler and asks the good cit
izens and press to lend their aid by
giving such information as is need
cd to bring them before the courts.
To this a citizen speaks out in pub
lie print. We add few thoughts
hoping that they may prove help
full to the city of Mt. Sterling, to
Montgomery county grand juries.
WAITED PATIENTLY.
IL have waited patiently four
whole days since the plea of the
grand jury was published, to see if
some one, If not all of you, city Of
iicials sworn TO do your duty. would
not resent the affront that has been
put upon you by this publication,
but not murmur has been heard
that has passed beyond the walls
of the City Hall. Your righteous
indignation, if aroused, has evil
IDENTIFY been directed into channels
that consumed its own smoke
While one ofyour number, no doubt,
become callous through similar ex-
perience in years past, yet did
have a faint spark of hope that the
others might have sufficient dis
cernment, and not be so utterly in
different to public opinion, as to let
pass unrebuked such an arraign-
ment of yourselves, individually
and collectively, as the appeal of
the grand jury certainly is, in the
eyes of the thinking public, whether
it was so intended or not.

engine on the freight train crashed through the

The most serious effect of the accident

For over seven hours no train passed the scene

blocked both tracks. Considerable delay was
caused to the Peekskill commuters. who did not
get train for this city until o'clock. At one
time the line of stalled trains reached as far as

freight cars landed in the river.

BARON SHIBUSAWA'S VISIT.
TO SPEND MOST OF HIS TINE UNTIL HE SAILS
IN THIS CITY-To GO TO WASHING
TON TOMORROW.

Baron Eiichi Shibusawa, of Japan who arrived
here Friday. spent the day yesterday in holding an
informal reception at his apartments in the Hotel
Majestic for Japanese merchants and others of
city Except for visit TO Washington tomorrow.
where he Will be received by the President 10 whom
he will present a memorial from the Toxic Cham
Der of Commerce. he intends spend most of his
time in this city before sailing for England on June
rs. Being interested in the spinning industry in
Japan, he would like to visit the mills of New Eng
land and he especially that lack of time Will
probably prevent his getting to Boston. He is in
now in construction. and his nephew. who is of
the party, is an electrical engineer. 1t is their
opinion that electricity could any time in the
future be substituted easily for steam motive
power on Japanese railroads because of the great
amount OF water power which is already much used
for electric lighting.
With the baron the baroness, Miss Nishigawa.
NJ. Ichbara, manager OF the Yokohama branch of
the First National Bank; G. Ha agiwara chief secre-
tary Of the Toxic Chamber OF Commerce: T.

AGREES TO TAKE AN APPEAL.
UNITED STATES STEEL CASE IN JERSEY
WILL GO TO HIGHER COURTS. HOW
EVER vICE-CHANCELLOR DECIDES.

Vice-Chancellor Emery reserved his decision IN
the suit of Mrs Miriam Berger. of Sullivan County,
N Y. to prevent the United States Steel Corpora
ton from retiring s2Oo0o0OO of preferred stock and
issuing bonds for like amount. After William D.
Guthrie of this city ana Richard Y. Lindabury, of
Newark. counsel for the corporation finished their
arguments vice-chancellor said that If his de-
cision adverse to the defendant he would
continue the restraining order only on the under
standing that the would be taken to the
higher court for immediate review. Mr.. Guthrie
said that If the decision should be favorable to the
defendant he would argue to hold matters in
statu quo If the complainant would agree to ap-
peal at once.
In his argument Mr. Guthrie defended the New
Jersey law of 1902 under which the corporation
proposes to retire the preferred stock and issue
bonds, saying that any corporation could take ad-
vantage of the law. though the provisions of
the law seemed TO apply specially to the United
States Steel Corporation. In speaking of the New
Jersey statutes allowing liberal interpretations
of the right of majority stockholders, he said: 1t
is the liberalty and wisdom of those laws which
have commended the corporation acts Of the State
to all great financial interests"
AS Vice-Chanceor Emery again spoke Of the
rigs OF stockholders who did assent to the
bond issue. he having previously asked as printed
yesterday in The Tribune. What security has such
a stockholder if the corpora ton issues bonds and
mortgages the property. which is really the assets
for which the stock Is issued?" Mr.. Guthrie gave
special attention this point in mis- argument He
said
We conceive that the execution OF mortgage
the issue Of bonds for the purchase Of stock for
retirement does not prejuaciaIly affect or impair
any vested right of the stockholders, and We reach
the conception by this process OF reasoning. Ine
corporate is authorized purchase property or
stock. and may clearly do so with cash or notes
bonds. II it may do so with notes or bonds rep
resentug a purchase upon credit. II may secure
the due fufilment OF that promise TO pay by mort
gage. Whether the debt is a lien or a mere debt Is
matter Of no concern 10 the stockholder. because
the creditor must be paid in fun before the pre-
fsrred stockholder get cent. In the due ad-
mir!stration liquidation of corporate affairs It
never makes a shadow of difference to stock
holder whether debt ahead Of his is a secured or
a n unsecured debt. because in any event and in
any aspect he a stoCkholder can never have a
dollars worth Of interest until all classes of cred
itors have been paid in fun
Mr.. Linda bury made the final argument for the
corporation confining himself TO the constitution
ality OF the New-Jersey act of 1902.
You contend that the act OF 1892 the vice
chancellor remarked merely makes direct means
which previously eXisted?"
