Atlanta, May 29.-The Grand Lodge
of the Independent Order of Odd Fell
lows to-day chose Atlanta as it's next
place of meeting. The Finance Com
mittee reported in favor of meeting
here again next year, and the report
was unanimously adopted. Columbus
and Valdosta were active competitors
for the honor, but their offers were
rejected, the chief reason being At

Vantages otherwise for the gathering.
Several hundred delegates are in con-

The reports of the officers of the
Grand Lodge, read at to-day's ses-
sion, were all adopted, and plans to
increase the membership of the order
throughout the state were formulated.
Many of the visiting Odd Fellows
went home to-day, but there are still
many members here who are not at
tending the Grand Lodge meetings.
Col. ]. H. Estill came down from
North Georgia yesterday and spent
some time shaking hands with his
many friends in the order.
Col. Estill, as is well known, is one
of the oldest Odd Fellows in the state,

Subsidiary Coinage Bill Passed by
House in Spite of Democratic Op-
position.
Washington. May 29.-The House
to-day passed the bill to increase the
subsidiary silver coinage. The Demo-
Gratis directed their fight chiefly
against the provision of the bill to
recon the standard silver dollars into
subsidiary coin as public necessities
might require. Half a dozen roll calls
were forced. The conference reports
on the omnibus public building and
Notifications appropriation bills we're
adopted and the House adjourned UNI
til Monday.
The text of the subsidiary coinage
bill is as follows
That the Secretary of the Treas
ury is hereby authorized to coin the
silver bullion in the treasury, pur-
into such denominations of subsidiary
silver coin as he may deem necessary
to meet public requirements, and
thereafter, as public necessities may
demand, to recon silver dollars into
subsidiary coin, and so much of any
act as likes a limit to the aggregate
of subsidiary silver coin outstanding
and so much CT any act as directs the
coinage of any portion of the bullion
purchased under the act of July II,
$780, into standard silver dollars is
hereby repealed"

all ashes, dust, gas and mud. Therein
lies another fact which must be con-
sidered. 1t should be remembered
when discussing this diaster that the
crater that sent disaster upon St.
Pierre was not at the crest of the vol
cano The old crater was at the top,
and ii was filled with water, forming
a pretty lake. The first eruption, which
sent destruction upon Prechure, was
from the crater far down the side of
the mountain. The destruction was
then by mud.
Nov, the water in that lake disap-
peared a little before the eruption OF
May 3. There had been constant and
heavy rains. Then a small peak of
the mountain fell in and covered the
crater from which the hot mud had
been pouring. l am convinced that
that fall of earth, stones and water
closed up the vent, and when the pres
sure on the inside became sufficient 1t
forced out the side of the mountain.
New Crater Like Cannon.
ut is fact that a new crater form
ed, and 1t pointed in the exact direc-
ion of st. Pierre. That crater is in the
mountain side, and l refererd 70 it
when | said that the explosion was like
that of a cannon. 1t was aimed at st.
Pierre, and the result was that the hot
gas. the stones and the boiling mud
were forced down upon the city, Just
as the gas is forced from the mouth of
a cannon.
ut is true that there was one sur
vivor of the disaster-a prisoner. who
was confined in a dungeon, far below
the surface of the earth. He was le-
leased four days after the destruction
of st. Pierre, and after he had suffer-
ed the tortures of the damned. 1t would
seem that he might have been left at
liberty. but he has ben returned to a
cell in the prison at Morne Rouge"
