paling. The streets are two feet II

ands of dead bodies. scorched black

into boiling pitch. Many of the dead
We're never touched by the volcanic fire
and some of the houses and woodwork
destroyed show no signs of burning.
AT MOudlage in the southwestern pOr-
ton of St. Pierre, the town hall is still
standing as high as the first story while
at the fort, in the northwestern part of
St. Pierre. the most massive stone work
is calcined. The church tower, built by
the Jesuits two centuries ago of cyclO-
pean mason work, is now like a huge
heap of old metal
Soldiers are guarding property from
prOwling ghOuls who are rObbing the
dead. They meet with severe punish
ment when caught.
The stencil throughout St. Pierre is
terribly offensive. The streets are still
obstructed by huge piles of debris and
dead bodies. The work OF clearing the
thoroughfares will necessitate the en-
ployment OF large numbers of men for
many months.
Moudlage Rouge, near St. Pierre. is
preserved and Basse Pointe and Ma
couba are yet unhurt. but the crater is
still active and smoke and ashes are
blowing steadily northward.
The surviving inhabitants are trying
to cross from st. Pierre to the Island of
Dominica in boats. Many drowning
casualties are reported.
Assistance is constantly arriving at
Fort de France from all the neighboring
islands
It has just been officially reported
that there were sixteen hundred dead

GOLDSBORO WATER WORKS.
"
NOW OWNED AND
OPERATE BY THE CITY.
A Fine Piece of Perfect Legal Work
Covering All Points of the
City's Purchase.

The last act in the long drama of
the city ownership of the Goldsboro
Water Works was rendered Thurs
day when the city authorities paid
over to the Goldsboro Water Com
pany fifty thousand dollars and re-
ceived from the latter the deed of
purchase for the above plant, carry
ing with it possession of the property
and all rights and appurtenances
thereto appertaining.
In the completion of the city own
ership of its own electric light and
water works plants, the ARGUS
heartily congratulates the citizens of
Goldsboro on this great forward
stride in the march of modern pro-
gress, and felicitates itself upon the
part it has sustained in the accom-
plishment of these achievements SO
essential to the growth of Greater
Goldsboro.
And at the same time we wish to
bear testimony to the faultless effic-
iency with which the several intri-
cate legal features of the question
were handled by our painstaking
City Attorney, Col. A. G. Davis,
who in the drafting of the necessary
amendments to the charter, the bill
providing for the bond election, to
be enacted by the General Assembly,
the notice advertising the election,
etc., so fortified these several impor-
tant measures on all apparent points
! of law and all possible legal techni-
: calities, that no flaw could be found
in any of them by the Supreme
Court, when the case made up te
test the validity of the city's bonds
issued hereunder went before it fol
adjudication.
And now, owning her own electric
lights, her own water works, he1
own City Hall, which will be n O
the handsomest in the State, her owl
sewerage systematic most modern
and perfect in every feature-im'
proved streets and better country
roads, with a $4,000 post Office
, building, city mail delivery, and
free rural mail delivery soon tt
come, is not "Greater Goldsboro'' a
+ hand?

THE GOVERNORS PROCLA-
NATION.

The proclamation of Governor Ay-
cock as to the Salisbury 1ynching is
wholesomet to every man in the State
who has respect for law and pride
of State and regard for justice, and it
is to be hoped that the Governors
commendable action may result in
bringing to trial and to justice those
who participated in the murder of a
1O-year-old child-without substan-
tial evidence of his guilt, and he pro-
testing his innocence of the crime for
which he was lynched, and which
the law had already taken in hand
and stood ready to duly avenge.
The law is the only shield which
a people have against anarchy
and dire calamity from either mob
violence or organized power, and re-
spect for law in the hearts of the peo-
pie is the only hope of the perpetuity
of our free institutions and the bull
Wark of our constitutional guarantees
of life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
piness.
The law has been fearfully out
ragged at Salisbury and the mob who
so wantonly set it at naught should
be condignly punished.

In speaking of the recent meeting

York, at which Rev. G. billiard, the
well-known colored Presbyterian di-
vine and principal of the colored
graded school of this city, was an at
tendant, the New York "Evangelist'
says:
"Whether or not the negro is an
emotional, non-religious creature, as
was hardly decided during the hours
allotted to the Freedmen's Board, it
became clear beyond controversy that
he is a child of eloquence. Not one
Of the white speakers of this Assem-
bly, was greeted with such applause
as assailed the ears of certain of the
colored speakers. Not one used
more f~elicitous and telling illustra-
tions than Rev. r. w. Holman, of
Eutawville, S. c., and the Rev.
Clarence billiard, Of Goldsboro, N.
C. Nor was another address more
convincing to the serious and intelli-
gent mind than those in which
President Sanders, of Biddle Uni
versity, argued the cause of Presby-
terrain institutions as claiming the
support of Presbyterian money, and
Professor Weaver the necessity of
more than an industrial and techni-
cal education for those capable of a
thorough Intellectual discipline"

The incoming train on the A. &
MGR. R.killed a white man named
Joe Hill this morning just this side

here from passengers who came in
ON the train that the man was arrest

drunk and disorderly and was placed
in the lookup last night. This morn
ing he had sobered up and was turn
