Storm in Charles Town.

CHARLES Town, W. VA, May 19.-The
most destructive rain and hail storm that has
swept over this place for many years occurred
this afternoon, when the rain, with small
amount of hail, fell iii torrents for nearly one
hour. The main street of the town for three
squares was food of water, in some places
two feet Deep Store boxes and landings were
washed down the street. Considerable dam
age was done to all sorts of property. Roofs
were blown off, windows blown in and trees
blown up and broken promiscuously.
The handsome residence of Col. Gibson, on
Samuel street, costing $4,000, was so dam
aged that one wall was cracked and moved
several inches. Two gable ends of the new
residence of T. Lee Shirley, which is being
erected, were blown down and the frame of
his stable was wrecked. The Jefferson Mill
ing Company lost part OF the root of its
fonrmill. Gardens we're ruined and the corn
fields in the country were greatly washed and
damaged,

Another Eruption of Mt. Pelee.

May 20 was day of terrible panic at Fort
de France, of strange sights seldom seen in
in centuries. The new eruption of Mount
Pelee had filled the heavens with fire, red hot
stones had set many houses ahame in the city,
which is 10 miles from the volcano, and a
rain of hot mud and ashes made breathing
almost impossible.
Thousands rushed to the ships in the harbor,
many swimming long distances to reach them.
All the vessels were soon filled, and then hum
dreds fed to the mountains farther south, pre-
ferring starvation to fiery death. In the
moment of greatest panic people prayed,
cursed or wept in the streets.
Fort de France has population of 10, 900,
now largely increased by refugees. from the
surrounding districts.
A renewed eruption of Mount Soufriere, on
st. Vincent Island, has created great alarm
there. As in Martinique, there is rush to
leave the island.

Three More States.

A bill passed the House of Representatives
last week, without division, erecting into States
the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma. A provision is made to attach
the Indian lands to Oklahoma when deslra-
BILE. With these States added to the Union
the number of the States will be forty Eight,
and the Senators will number ninety six.
There will then be no more territories IN the
United States proper, and the next move to
increase the number of States will be the erec-
ton of two more out Of Texas. This will be
done eventually, perhaps in the next quarter
of century. Hawaii in the Pacific is q ter
ritory, and will be erected into . State as
soon as the exigencies of party politics make
II desirable.

stung to Death by Bees.

W1NoHEsrER, Va, May 19.-While superin-
tending the hiving of swarm of angry bees
at his home, at Milldale, near here, yesterday,
W. r. Conrad, one of the leading men of his
community, was attacked by the bees and
stung to death. He lived only 10 minutes
after receiving his injuries. Mr.. Conrad's
young SON was saving off limb of a tree to
which the bees was swarming, when two of
the insects alighted upon him, one singing
him upon the neck and the other on the tenn
pie. Although very large man, Mr.. Con-
RAIDS body began to swell rapidly, and he said
he thought the stings would quickly prove
fatal. He asked for some water, and as it
was being placed to his lips he expired, after
suffering intense agony.
Mr.. Conrad was As years of age, and leaves
a widow, who was Miss Bowen, and several
children.

How It Works.
From the Rockville (Md.) sentinel.

From the ROCKVILLE lMdD sentinel.
Ex-senator Washburn, of Minnesota. said
recently: 'From the best information have
been able to gather, steel rails can be manu-
featured at about SIC ton. Sold as they
we're two and half years ago. at $3.50 a
ton, there was profit of $3.50 ton, which
is more than the profit on -four Of 10 cents a
barrel. Yet such rails are now being sold at
1913 ton, making it easy to understand, with
such enormous profits, how the steel mills are
enabled to pay dividends on shares three.
fourths of which are composed of water. And
yet, with this condition of things, we now have
a duty of 81. 80 ton on steel rails. y
Steel rails are sold abroad at SIT or $1s a
ton. Mr.. Schwab told an Englishman that
his company could deliver steel billets in Eng
land at $16.5 so ton, but this does not pre-
vent them selling in the United States at $26
and $27. The difference between these prices
shows how protection cheapens for foreigners,
and how it does not cheaper them for the
protected classes.

The Anthracite Strike.

The three anthracite Executive Committees
of the United Mine Workers of America, at
their joint meeting Wednesday in Wilkes
barre, Pa, decided to permit the engineers,
fremen and pump men to remain at work,
providing the coal companies grant them an
eight hour day at present wages. If these de-
mands are not granted by June 2, the men
are then to suspend work, in which event,
unless their places be filed, the mines will be
flooded.
The Michigan district, United Mine Work
ers of America, has joined with the three
striking anthracite districts of Pennsylvania
in a request to National President Mitchell
for national convention of all the miners of
the country to discuss general strike of all
mine workers.
A mob of 800 men and boys Wednesday in
Pittston attacked washery employees, both
sides shooting during running fight

I'm Memory of Absalon Koontz.

Farewell, dear grandfather thou art gone
To the sunny heavenly plain;
Clothed in robes of spotless white
Now he dwells with Thee on high.
Through all weakness at times he smiled,
A smile of heavenly joy,
And when the angels called him home
He smiled farewell to earth.
Affection sore, long time he bore,
Physicians were in vain;
Till God, our great Redeener. came
And called him TO his home.

One of the most important items of interest
in the Baltimore San last Saturday was the
announcement Of reduction in the price of
that paper from two cents to one cent copy,
or So. 90 year. This is move that many
of the friends of the Sun in this city had been
considering, and the reduction in price was
very welcome news here. The San is the
paper for the people, but its price heretofore
has prevented many persons from taking it.
1t will now supplant to avery large degree the
cheap dailies that were sold in this city and
county, for everybody comedies that there is
no daily like the Sun.
