Refugees From St. Pierre Denounce
Governors Action-W Not
Let the People Leave the
Doomed City.

DOMINICA, B. W. J., May IA, 1902. =
Refugees who arrived here to-day or
the steamship Solent report that St
Pierre has the appearance Of having
been long under fierce and effective
bombardment. No lava reached the
city, which was almost buried under
ashes. Great fires were burning at St
Pierre last night, believed to have
been pyres upon which the dead
bodies were being destroyed.
All refugees bitterly denounce the
Governor who refused to permit a
general exodus from st. Pierre when
Mont Pelee began TO threaten early
last week. To prevent a panic he had
the city guarded by soldiers, who
drove back all who attempted to fee.
The Governor and his party tried to
leave just before the final catastro-
phe, but were caught by the sheet OF
flame and all died. The sulphur
springs Of Dominica are active, but
little fear is expressed that there will
be serious trouble.

The are three children, the young

COMPLETING ARRANGEMENTS
R. E. Elliott In Chicago In Consulta-
tion With Those Who Will Take
stock In the New Brick
Works.

R. E. Elliott, joint owner with his
sons of the Western Stove Lining
Works Of this city, is in Chicago in
consultation with the gentlemen who
are interested in becoming share
holders in the proposed incorporation
to move and enlarge the works.
1t is thought that all preliminaries
will have been arranged by the time
of Mr.. Elliotts return and that work
will begin Immediately.
The first work will be the incorpora-
tion Of the stock company and the
purchase of a site. The two most
available sites, 1t is claimed, are sit
uated at the east and west limits of
town. One is the land bounded by
the G. s. A. and Wabash roads on the
north and south and Beaver Dam
creek and the @. & A. roundhouse on
the east and west, while the other
site, and probably the most promis-
ing one, is the w. e. West property in
West Mexico beyond the crossing Of
the South Branch and Wabash tracks
Mr.. Elliott has Mr.. Vests price on
the latter site and will make bis offer
upon his return from Chicago, or, it
may be, through his son, Alfred FL
lott, before his return.
ORGANIZATION OF STOCK co.
The new company will have a capl-
tai stock Of about s55,00O divided
among Chicago and Mexico sharehold-
ers. Elliott s. Son will put their
present plant in at $50, 600; four Chlca-
go men, railroad officials, will carry
$4,000 each and the remainder $4,000
will probably be taken in small blocks
by local investors This will leave
the balance Of stock In the hands Of
Elliott & Son, who will control the
company's managent.
1t is thought by pushing matters
the plant may be in operation In July
and from 40 to 60 men will be given
employment at once. AS the plant
grows the force will be increased.

probably knows more than any one

The Plain of Jericho, despite its
desolation, has a prosperous appear
ance and with cultivation, would
easily blossom as the rose. The Jor-
dan river, about the size of a Missouri
creek and the color of the tawny Mis-
souri, river, runs along the eastern
border Of the plain. The Dead Sea,
with its heavy salt water, in which
it is almost impossible to sink, is
southwark. Near iu vegetation will
not live and the dreariness Of the
banks Is unenliyened by any sprig Of
grass, barren waste. The Jordan is
the best known river in the world and
the Dead Sea the most written about

The climate here is always warm and
in summer the weather is intolerably
hot. Within dozen miles are the
Judean hills, like the barren uplands
of Central Germany, while on the
Jordan banks are the fruits and fow-

wonderful of streams-its story inter-
woven inseparably with the story of
