island of st. Vincent slept that night which

Reports received here from the districts in the
vicinity OF the volcano say that the rumblings
of the craters were appalling, and that streams
of lava flowed down the mountainside.
The villagers. who had fed TO Chateau BeIair>
and Georgetown for safety, are now pouring
INTO Kingston, this being the furthest town from

gees here from Chateau Belair. Kingston is

1t was next learned here that the French
steamer Salvador. with thousand people on
board, who are unable to remain at Fort de
France, coming here. and that everybody
who can do 50 is leaving that port.
The Salvador arrived here later in the day
The refugees who have reached here are in a
pitiable condition. They all yepOrt that on the
morning of May 20 Mont PeIee vomited a thick
cloud of black smoke. and threw hot mud and
stones over the greater part of the island while
a heavy pail of smoke Overhung Fort de France
The eruption was followed by flashes of incan-
descent light. and the pancstrcken people fled
to the shore. II was reported at Fort de France
that some people have been killed at Carbet, on
the west coast while Basse Pointe on the north
east coast. is said TO have been completely de-
strOyed
The refugees report further that all the ves-
sells at Fort de France are taking people away

de France. Martinique. She is filled with refu-
gees from that port. and reports that owing to-
the continuous fall of heavy stones and other
volcanic matter there the inhabitants of Fort dss
France are fleeing the town.
The Helga was dischargiug coal at Fort ds.
France. but was compelled by the volcanic dis
turbance to abandon this work.
Reports received here to-day confirm the dis
patches announcing that panic prevailed at
Fort de France yesterday. The town was COW
cred with ashes. stones were falling and tidal
wave added to the terror of the population,
which was flying TO the hills. Three hundred
refugees have just arrived here. and thousands

Tnmmsuy L. 20 try 10 get along for a few
months without n local boss and without n
finance committee.

THmmBuy IL to try ia get along for a few
months without local boss and without n
finance committee.
The Croker Guard" Of the Tammany exeCu-
tive committee. numbering twenty-six trusty
followers Of the squire boss. met in caucus last
night al the Grand Union Hotel and decided to
put through resolutions at the meeting Of the
executive committee this morning vesting the
management Of the organization in committee
consisting Of Charles F. Murphy, the East Side
saloonkeeper: Daniel F. Mcmahon. present
chairman OF the executive committee and Bor-
cuEh President Louis F Haffen Of The Bronx.
The friends of Croker were forced into a cor
ner by the Carroll men. who. although in a
minority controlled ex-Judge George NJ Van
Ifoesen ch-iInan cf tle general rciS,ntttee. who
alone rad the appointment OF chairman of the
finance committee. Finding that Mr. Van
Hoesen would. in all probability. appoint James
J. Martin chairman Of the finance committee,
the Croker men last night decided that rather
than let Carroll boss the situation they would
try 70 wipe out the most important committee
Of the entire Organization. and reorganize AZ
their leisure dropping out the friends of Car
roll and putting in only those who ready to
do and die for Croker
As told in The Tribune yesterday, eX-Judge
Van Hoesen is seriously i'll with erysipelas at
his home in West Forty y-seyenth-st.-too ill., in
fact, to write his name and temporarily blind
from his aimeGt. His Dutch blood boiled, how
ever. at the suggestion of repudiatng his friend
ex- Mayor Van Wyck. He gave the Croker men
TO understand that he for Martin. for the
reason that Martin had brains enough to run
the organization skilfuly. while Charles F.
Murphy had not.
The Carroll men were jubilant last night when
they heard of the result of the caucus They
consider that they have won half a victory IN
compelling the Croker men 10 carry out the
idea promulgated by Carroll, who in his state
ment said that there ought not TO be any single
leader. The action of the Croker guard last
night was not pleasing To the friends of Tim
Sullivan. They wanted a leader-a boss-just
as in days gone by, and when they learned
that there was to be no boss they were angry.
The Carroll men will object to-day to the abo-
Htion Of the finance committee. on the ground
that it is a time honored. integral and necessary
part of the organism of Tammany, and to do
away with it for any reason whatsoever is
confession Of weakness we'll as an act or
unwisdom. They will argue that the finances
cannot be so well handled by a triumvirate as
at present under the direction of committee
of sixteen.

At its session last Tuesday, the Board

Cannon, Secretary Of State G. R. Lay
ton, and State Auditor P. B. Norman
were present a bare quorum-a par
don was granted 70 Messrs. Wilbur
and John Mills, John Bennett and
Jacob G. Wilson, who were convicted
last May for an assault upon Bethuel
Hall last winter. The trouble grew
out of fox hunting, and the penalty
was surprise to many besides the vic
Tins.
To have continued these men in jail
would not have been any benefit to the
public, as the good effect Of their SEN

have been great hardship to their
families.
They returned to their home within
few hours after their pardon was

Rove Homestead Burned .

The tenement house on the Rowe
farm situated one mile south of Mil
ford, now occupied by J. G. Barrows
and family, was burned to the ground
early Wednesday morning. The fire
occurred at , a. m. and was caused by
rats gnarving matches in a closet. The
fire was well under way before it was
discovered, and the family barely
escaped only having time to save few
articles of wearing apparel. They are
now staying with a neighbor, Joseph
WrOten. There was a small insurance
on the house. The farm is now owned
by George Litchfield, of New York.
