 The board of aldermen held an ad- journed meeting last night, Chairman Goss presiding and all the members being present except Aldermen Ches- son, Pagan and O'Brien. The prin- cipal matter to come before the meet ing, so far as the public knew, was the report of the board of public works relative to the Oakyille trolley question, but there was something else that nobody outside the republi- cans thought of, that was the dep uty building inspectorship. Some people had notion that James Wort ley would be chosen, while others claimed that he hadn't a ghost of a show, for though probably he is the most competent man that has been mentioned in connection with the of flee. The vote tells the story as fol lows:
 First ballot. Michael Cunningham A. T. B. Smith 4. James Wortley ?, blank ?. No choice
 Second ballot. T. B. Smith 8, Mi chael Cunningham 4.
 Mir Smith was declared elected Action on the salary to be paid the deputy was deferred until next meet ing.

BLEW OUT THE GAS.
Girl Who Missed Waterbury Train
 Nearly Loses Her Life.

Girl Who Missed Waterbury Train
 Nearly Loses Her Life.
 Bridgeport. April 29--Another death from asphyxiation by Illuminating gas was narrowly ayerted at the Union hotel on Water street. opposite the rail- road station, yesterday morning. The circumstances were nearly identical with those by which young woman lost her life at that hotel last fall, and the fact that the young woman ill this case was able to proceed to her des- tination instead of being buried herc was due to her strong constitution and the prompt measures taken when she was discovered.
 The young woman who so narrowly escaped death was Elizabeth Healy, an Irish immigrant, who landed in New York late Saturday and who came to this city Sunday evening, missing the train for Waterbury and being forced to remain in this city all night. She was accompanied by man, friend from the same part of Ireland. When he found that they could not reach Waterbury he inquired of Depot Officer Farnan where they could stay for the night. The policeman directed them to the Union hotel The couple went to the hotel, where they were as signed separate rooms. The gas was lighted for each of them and to each the same instructions were given, namely, not to blow out the gas; to turn it out or leave it alone. The man needed his instructions, and was up early yesterday morning.
 The woman did not awaken at , o'clock when called, and as there was a smell of gas, the room was broken into at 5:30 The woman was found unconscious in the bed, and the hotel proprietor immediately set about re- suscitating her. The windows were opened and call sent to the emergen- cy hospital for a physician Dr k. G. Ieverty responded, and found the wo- man had partially recovered conscious ness. He administered an emetic and restoratives until the woman was be- yond danger. She recovered rapidly from the effects of the gas and was able to take the train for Waterbury yesterday morning. If she had in- haled the gas for a little while longer her case would have been hopeless and death inevitable. The woman admit. ted that she blew out the gas when she retired about 9 o'clock

EXPLORED ST. VINCENT
Ash Covered Area Exceeds That
on Martinique-AIso More
Suffering.

Kingston, Island of st. Vincent, May
ia correspondent of the Associated
Press has just returned here from visit
on horseback to the devasted district OF
this island, during which he travelled sc
miles and penetrated to within five miles
of the Soufriere crater.
The ash-covered area of St. Vincent
exceeds that of Martinique, which the
correspondent has also explored. The
most conservative estimate of the death
rate here now places the number at ! ZOO.
About 300 have already been inferred.
The entire northern part of the island
is covered with ashes to an average
depth of Is inches, varying from a thin
LAYER at Kingston to two feet or more al
Georgetown. The crops are ruined
nothing green can be seen. The streets
of Georgetown are numbered with heaps
of ashes resembling snow drifts and
ashes rest 80 heavily on the roofs that in
several cases they have caused them to
fall in. There soon will be 1000 persons
in need of assistance from the govern.
ment, which is already doing everything
possible to relieve the sufferers.
The British cruiser interchangeable
brought 26 tons of supplies here and
returned to the island of Trinidad fol-
more.
The governor of the Windward Islands
Sir Robert Llewellyn, is here, supervis.
ing the work of the authorities.
Greater OestitutioL on St. Viscsnt.
While the outbreak of the volcano on
the Island of Martinique killed more
people 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 tremendous velocity. Twenty
six persons who sought refuge in a room
ten feet by twelve were killed. One per-
son was Drained with huge stone nine
miles from the crater.
Rough collins are being made to re-
ceive the remains of the victims. The
hospital here is filled with dying people.
Fifty injured persons are lying on the
floor of that building, as there are nc
beds for their accommodation. Two days
elapsed before there were any burials, as
the negroes refused to dig the necessary
trenches, though they were offered three
times the usual wages by the local au-
thorities.
The nurses employed are incompetent,
but they are willing to learn and are
working hard. The negroes are indiffer.
ent to all that is transporting and to what
has taken plac. They expect to receive
government rations, but there have been
instances where they have refused To
bury their own relatives.

MORE CRATERS|
SEVERAL ADDITIONAL HOLES
BLOWN IN PELEE.
Inhabitants Of Fort de France Plunged Into
Deeper Terror by More Explosions From
the Mountain Top-BeIieved That &c Pre-
cheur Will Very Soon Meet the Fate Of St.
Pierre

Fort de France, May 19.-Saturday
night the inhabitants of the town were
again plunged into the deepest terror by
a sudden and terrific explosion, repeated
fifteen or sixteen times, from the noun
tain top of Pelee. The darkness OF the
night was riven by great flashes of red
light from the crater of the volcano, illu-
minating the whole island.
The eruption that worked such havoc
originally seemed to be redoubled in
fury, and for several hours there were
fresh fears of another catastrophe.
The numerous explosions were due to
the opening of new craters on Mount
Pelee on the side of the approach to the
village of LIE Precheur, and the destruc-
ton of that place is thought to be inn
minent.

Features Of the Festivities Followins y.
Coronation Ceremonies.

Madrid, May 17.-Alionzo XIII VIC.
crowned king of Spain today, with prea,
ceremony. The oath was taken in the
hall of the assembly of the chamber ~
deputies, in accordance with all the re
ligious forms and ancient rites. Follow.
ing the ceremonies at the chamber ~
deputies were followed by other ceremo q.
MES at the church of San Francisco al
Grande. These were very simple. bu,
impressive. Upon entering the sacres
ediffce his majesty proceeded down thS
long aisle lined by the grandees and
their ladies and the foreign Representa-.
tives and ambassadors. Arriving at tha
altar the young monarch handed tbs
insignia of Office to his attendants and
knelt in prayer, while the archbisbon
read the litanies. The service was cop.
cluded with the TIE Deum.
At the great reception following at the
palace the utmost state was observed
The highest grandees of Spain, the aug.
ust foreign princes and the LEADING
members of their suites were in attend.
ance with the officials of state, high off.
GERS of the army, eminent clergy and
others. Only persons of the highest
importace were percent, the guests being
entertained according to their rank.
In the evening, for the first time. the
ancient capital was illuminated in con.
formity with plans drawn up by by cele.
brated artists whose esthetic ideas were
not stunted nor their elaborate work
hampered by prOsaic considerations Of
expense. With results truly UNIQUE
Madrid became a beautiful poem in
color, an exquisite symphony in fire.
The famous Prado, the evening resort of
the people, the Plaza Mayor, surrounded
by it's colonnades, the Plaza Oriente in
front of the royal palace, the Plaza de
las Cortes, and other public places were
dazzling in their brightness, while the
various public buildings were outlined
against sky in lines of fire. These mag.
nificent effects were produced by electric
and gas lamps of all colors, form and
sizes.
The city of Madrid, which first took
the matter in hand, voted large sum
for:the purpose of Examinations, but the
money proved insufficient for the real.
ization of the elaborate plans, where.
upon an additional sum was granted
from the royal treasury. This, ofcourse,
is exclusive of large sums which have
been expended by private individuals,
with the result that the city resembled
great fairyland in which the people
gave themselves up to the full enjoy
ment of the festivities in accordance
with the true southern spirit.
AS spectacle the events of the day
defy description.
