DAN PATCH, 2.0O3l.
A New Star and a Wonderful Mile
Paced at Columbus.

Columbus, O., Aug. 3.-The feature of
the closing day of the Grand Circuit trot
ting was the successful attempt of the
pndefeated pacing stallion Dan Patch to
beat the record of his famous sire, Joe
Patchen. 2.01A. Driven by his trainer,
Myron McHenry, the handsome brown
horse circled the track in 2.00a4.
The quarters were as follows: 81, %.
.30A, .90la The horse finished pulled up,
and there is no question that he could
have made the mile in two minutes fiat.
or even faster, if McHenry had driven
him out in the last quarter.
The track was lightning fast and the
weather was calm when McHenry brought
the great stallion out for the trial. He
scored down once and the next time was
sent away, accompanied by runner. The
first quarter around the turn was paced
in 81 seconds. When he turned into the
backstretch McHenry let him fly, and the
half was reached in ! minute fiat. The
third quarter around the upper turn was
paced in 130h. and the horse was going
SO easily when he Strengthened away for
the wire that it was evident that he could
not fail to break the record.
About 80 yards from the wire McHen-
ry began to pull Dan Patch and succeed
ed in partially. stopping him before the
mile was finished. McHenry made the
following statement after the trial:
My intention was to drive a mile clos
to 2.01A. but not quite reaching that
mark. thus escaping the penalty of the
record and leaving the horse in the 2.Gi

EYEWITNESS DESCRIBES
ERUPTION or VOLCANO

NEW YORK, May 14.-In dispatch
from its correspondent on the Island of st.
Vincent. B. w. L, the Herald says;
Admonitory rumblings and earthquakes
in the vicinity of Soufriere came two
weeks ago.
ON Monday, May 5, the lake in the old
crater became greatly disturbed. On
Tuesday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
mountain began a series of volcanic ef-
forts Severe earthquakes accompanied
these terrible noises and detonations sue
ceeded quickly. At Z o'clock in the even
ing an Immense column of steam issued
from the crater and lasted until mid
night.
Terrible explosions followed on Wednes-
day morning, and at o'clock there was
another sudden violent escape of steam.
This assembled 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 noun
tain. making an awful scene.
The mountain labored heavily for half
an hour after the appearance OF the lava
Fire flashed aronud the edges of the era
ters and there were tremendous detona-
tions in succession, rapidly merging into
continuous roar.
This lasted through Wednesday night
and until Friday morning. The thunder
inRs of the volcano were heard through
out the Caribbean sea.
The eruption began Wednesday A huge
cloud In dark and dense column. charg-
ed with volcanic matter, rose to a height
Of miles from the mountain top. Dark
ness like midnight descended and the sui
phurous air was laden with fine dust.
A black rain followed, a rain of favilla
scoriae rocks and stone.
{ There were bright flashes. numerous and
marvellously rapid. These with thunder
ing, the mountain shocks. the earthquake
roar, the lava and falling stones created
a scene Of horror. ~"
Large areas OF cultivation have been
buried beneath the volcanic matter. roaf
On the Windward cost seven plantations
are totally destroyed Nothing green is
visible.
Sixteen hundred and twenty deaths are
already reported. There are 167 cases in
the hospital at Georgetown under treat
ment.
The deaths have been caused chiefly by
suffocation by the sulphurous gas. light
ming and burning lava masses.
A few Of the cases in the hospital are
likely to recover. The crew of H. NJ s.
Indefatigable buried thirty peasants found
dead on the Owia estate, north of Sou
friere.
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 trans
porting 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 dis
tress
The majority of the corpses being found
are covered with ashes, decomposed and
hardly 'approachable. The dead are being
buried in trenches, thirty in each.

NOT A LIVING CREATURE
etr WAS ALIVE INTHE CITY

NEW YORK, May Unsuccessful at
tempts have been made to reach st.
Pierre. says a London dispatch to The
Tribune. Cabling from st. Lucia. the cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail. says the
town is a heap of ruins. and dead bodies
are lying. all around. Few. ever, will be
recognized, so great are the mutilation
and distortion.
Search parties have found 5000 charred
corpses on the site of the cathedral. All
appear 10 have been asphyxiated at first,
Not soul was found alive in the whole
town.
Describing the destruction of the island
city, the correspondent says that last
Monday Mount Pelee poured forth q
stream Of molten lava twenty feet high
and half a mile wide. Its progress was
appalling. Rushing down the dry bed Of
Riviere Blanche 1t reached the sea.
The force of the impact was such that
the sea receded for 800 feet for miles
along the western coast. ~, .
Loud detonations followed at short. ir-
regular intervals, absolutely awe-inspir-
ing and so loud that they were heard 800
miles away.
At night the volcano crater was a mass
Of lurid flames, which shot high up over
the mountain, while all the time the can
snonading went on. IT continued at inter-
walls on Tuesday and Wednesday, on
Thursday morning 1t was relatively still.
st. Pierre was. as usual, early astir, and
business was partly going on about :
o'clock, when sort of whirlwind Of
steam. boiling mud and fire suddenly
swept with incredible rapidity over the
city and roadstead. At once the town was
in blaze The fire seemed to run over
all. &Ea1s Tess. r. ~ h>2frs@E @eTs'- /"

SCENES IN CITY OF ST. PIERRE
JUST BEFORE THE ERUPTION

BOSTON, May l3-Relat.ves and
friends of Thomas T. Prentis, United
States consul at ST. Pierre, whose home
is at Melrose. are in grave fear that he
and his family were among those who
perished in the lake OF molten lava that
swept over the city, With him were his
wife and two daughters and no word has
been received from them since the de-
struetion of the island city.
Friends of the family have not entirely
abandoned hope that they may have es-
capped with their, lives, arguing that the
severing. of the cables ana general de-
moralization in Martinique and st. Vim
cent could easily account for the absence
Of news from Consul Prentis.
Miss Alice Fry, a sister of Mrs Prem
It's, who lives in Melrose, received let
ter from her on Friday, bearing the date
of April Is. The letter was in part as
follows:
This morning the whole population Of
the city is on the alert and every eye is
directed toward Mont Pelee, an extinct
volcano. Everybody is afraid that the
volcano has taken into its heart to burst
forth and desroy the whole island.
"All --4e inhabitants are going up to see
It, There is not a horse to be had on the
island, those belonging to the natives be-
ing kept in readiness to leave at a mo-
ment's notice. Last Wednesday, which
was April %, was in my room with little
Christine, and we heard three distinct
shocks. They were so great that we sup
posed at first that there was someone at
the door, and Christine went and found
no one there. The first report was very
loud. but the second and third were so
great that dishes were thrown from the
shelves and the house was completely
rocked.
I'VE can see Mont Pelee from the rear
windows of our house, and although it Is
fully four miles away, We can hear the
roar and see the fire and lava issuing from
