SOUFRlERE ERUPTION
Rev. MIR. Darrell Writes an Excel en-
Description of the Horror.
(Ry Assocletpd Preso

LONDON, May ia dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Kingston, Island of ST.
Vincent, contains an excellent descrlp-
ton, by Rev. Mr.. Darrell, of the eruption
of La Soufriere. Mr.. Darrell says:
eve rowed to within eight miles Of the
crater, from which q. majestic body Of
vapor assembled. The scene was sublime
beyond imagination. Steam, smoke and
lava formed an awful pillar, which APP
peared to us to be at least eight miles
high We rowed on, but an immense
cloud CT dark and dense volcanic ma
teria1 descended in our pathway, i'm
pending our progress and warning us to
stop. The mighty bank of sulphurous
vapor assumed the shape of q. gigantic
promotory; it then became mass OF re-
volving cloud whirls, turning with in
credible velocity, assuming beautiful
flower shapes, some dark, some effulgent,
while others were pearly white and all
were brilliantly Illuminated by electric
flashes.
Darkness then fell upon the waters
and a black rain Of dust descended upon
US The laundering noises from the
mountain and the earthquake shocks ALL
produced a scene of incredible majesty
and horror. The plutonic energy Of the
mountain increased momentarily until
our boat returned to Kingston, the crew
cowed and were impressed with the
weirdness of the scene, and were covered
thickly with the falling gray dust

DESTITUTION ON ST. VINCENT
Disaster There Left More Victims in
Crippled Condition.

KINGTOWN, ISLAND OF ST. VIM
CENT, Thursday, May 15-(Afternoon).-
A correspondent of the Associated Press
has just returned here from a visit on
horseback to the devastated district OF
this island during which he travelled fifty
miles and penetrated to within five miles
of the Soufriere crater. The ash-covered
area of ST. VINCENT exceeds that of Mar
Unique, which the correspondent had also
explored.
The most conservative estimate of the
death rate here now places the number
at LOO About ]. 800 bodies have already
been inferred. The entire northern part
Of the island is covered with ashes to
an average depth of is inches. The
streets of Georgetown are numbered with
heaps OF ashes resembling snow drifts
and ashes rest. SO heavily on roofs that
in several cases they have caused them
to fall in.
While the outbreak of the volcano on
the Island of Martinique killed more peo-
pie outright, more territory has been
ruined in ST. Vincent. hence there is
greater restitution here. The injured
persons were horribly burned by the hot
grit which was driven along with tre-
rnendous velocity Twenty-six persons
who sought refuge in room ten feet by
twelve We're all killed One person was
Drained with huge stone nine miles

.LYCEUM LECTURES
At YIN. CA, HALL
Academy Cannot Be Secured.
The Smaller Hall Now Al
most Sold Out,

The annual meeting of the Richmond
Lyceum was held at the T. P A. head
quarters last night. 1t was decided, as
anticipated by The Times, to hold the
next course of Lyceum lectures at the
Y. NJ. G. A. Hall and not at the Academy.
This change was made necessary by
son of the fact that Lessee Leath, of
the Academy, had declined to make
binding contract with the Iyceu1n Ger
any specific nights. and it is altogether
impracticable to make engagements with
the differet lecturers and lecture bureaus
unless the. Lyceumi can be. assured OF the
use of the Academy upon certain specific
dates. The floor of the Y. NJ. G.. A Hall
will only seat 400, but there is no other
hall that can be secured. The large hail
at the Masonic Temple is not suitable.
it is said. AS the membership of the Ly
ceum last year required 1,120 sittings, it
will be seen that a very large number
will be disappointed who will desire to
hear the next course of lectures.
The organization will, Of course, feel
the loss OF revenue by reason of this de-
crea sed membersfip. but the Y. NJ. C. A.
Hall can be secured at so much lower
figure than the Academy that it is hoped
that the same number of lectures of the
same order of excellence can be secured
AS 40 seats have been subscribed for
and 3s2 paid for for next year. it will be
seen that practically the whole house
is engaged and sold out now. 1t will be
impracticable to make any special ar
engagements with schools or colleges a s
heretofore. Next year the lecturers will
not be introduced, and there will be no
boycott against the clergymen in the
makeup of the list of lecturers.
Messrs. Henry c. Jones. T. D. Merrick
and John S. Harwood werS appointed q
committee to confer with the Wednesday
Club and other organizations on tns sab
ject of the construction of a suitab bic
hall.

MARTINIQUE REFUGEE.
MIR. Mcdonald Passes Through Norfolk
and Depicts His Experiences.
nv Associated Pr,

tBy Associated 6EcSS.)
NORFOLK, VA. May 16.-Edward Liv-
ingstone Mcdonald, Of Devonshire. Eng
land. is one of the few survivors who es-
capped the path of death that devastated
the city of ST. flcrre by the eruption of
Mont Pelee. He passed through Norfolk
to-day on his way to- hiE home. having
come via Fort de France. He is one of
those picked up by the French cruiser
Suchet. He escaped from the island just
before the great outburst by jumping in
to a boat in which a native had already
taken refuge. Speaking OF his expe-
riences, he said:
.Such a sight is one do not care again
to see. The scene depicted the horrors of
hell 1t was about o'clock in the morn
ing when loud noise was heard in the
direction of Pelee. In a short while the
air was filled with sulphur fumes and
breathing was difficult I ran for the
pier where the natives were preparing to
escape We got the boat out together.
The eruption occurred and the air was
filled with ashes mud and lava; the har-
Dor boiled and the top Of Mont Pelee
looked like a huge ball of fire through
the darkness. No pen can picture the
sight and the Imagination cannot be too
vivid in forming an idea of the horri-
BILE catastrophe"
Mcdonald has papers to show he was
in Martinique and his singed hair and
burned body substantiate his statements.

At that time then. it appeared that
only Mr.. Sheffey. one of the teachers

The belief, amounting so conviction, is
that the FIRE originated in the bathroom,
