The City Would
be Des troyed.
American Family Warn
ed Of Eruption
And Escaped From Martinique
Just In Time.

New York, May 13.-AIrs. C. NJ. Craig,
of No. Al West Forty-fifth ST., who ie-
turned from st. Pierre Oh the last
trip of the steamer I.orama previous
to the disaster, tells an interesting
story of her experiences in Martinique
and her fiiglt from the island after
Il dream, which she now regards as
premonition.
Mrs. Craig was accompanied to the
West Indies by her husband and n
brother The trip was made partly
for Mr.. Craig's health. The party Wis
tied Barbadoes, st. Lucia, Guadaloupe,
st. Vincent and other islands, but they
found life at Martinique 50 delightful
that they remained there some time.
Il know the family of Mr.. prentis,
the American consul, very WELL" said
Mrs. Craig.
Mr.. Prenris was elderly and was
not in good health. He had some ner-
vOus trouble. Mrs. Prentis and her
two daughters May and Christine,
kept very much TO themselves, and
except for formal calls, when they
first arrived, Mrs. Prentis and her
daughters saw little OF the other resi-
dents.
''The natives seemed to have dis
like for Americans, and Mrs. Prents
told me that negroes made sighting
remarks when they passed her on the
street. The Misses Prcntis were ac-
tually stoned by u mob while they were
walking near Mount Rouge recently.
They were so badly frightened that
they remained in the ..ouse, unless they
had II man TO accompany them.
"Of all the West Indian islands we
thought Martinique the garden spot.
The merchants were prosperous, the
stores were fine and Victor Hugo st.
was what | imagine the streets Of
Paris are. We liked it so much that
we talked Of renting Il house in St.
Pierre for next winter.
But for dream i had we might have
been In st. Pierre yet. My husband
said 1t was the coffee but insisted
that we take the next steamer, and
we did.
81 dreamed that while n ball was in
progress terrible rain descended.
was with my husband and my brother.
In my dream | saw them killed, not
by the rain, but by natives while the
rain was falling. They seemed to have
been subjected TO tortures and then
awokc. told my husband of the oc-
currence. He laughed ut me, and said
| was superstitiolis. | told him that l
was not, but that all pleasure for me
in Martinique was gone.
THE officers of the Roralma were
very courteous, and although we were
! on several of the Quebec steamship
Co.'S boats, we liked the Rorama best
CT all.
Except for the Prentis family,
there were no American families of
prominence In st. Pierre"

Columbus. o., May 13-The Senate,

at the present day. The gymnasium,
too, usurps the place of the chapel at
many of our colleges, the horizontal

tendency to games at the present time
finds a most melancholy illustration in
what is called ping pong, kill-time

ing woman would resort to. There can

SEWER COMMISSION MEETS.
Several Citizens Express Their Views
at Last Nights Meeting.

The first meeting of the newly ap-
pointed Sewer Commission was held
in the Aldermanic chambers last
evening. Regardless of the fact that
the meeting had been duly advertised
there was only ten gentlemen present,
including the members of the COM
mission.
President Robert D. Foote occupied
the chair. DR.. Vaughn representing
the Board of Trade, was the first
speaker. The doctor said that the
members of thai body were very
much against disposal system. The
Board also thought that the principal
streets of the town should be severed
first, including Park Place, Washing
ton street, Western avenue, High
street, Speedwell avenue, Market
street, Maple avenue, South street,
Madison avenue and Morris street, or
all the principal streets draining
toward the Whippany river.
Francis E. Woodruff was then called
upon by President Foote. Mr.. Wood
ruff requested that everything be
made plain and that more informa-
tion be obtained OH the local disposal
system.
Mr.. Potter, engineer OF the Joint
Sewer Commission was asked his
views on the subject Replying Mr..
Potter said that no disposal system
had yet been found that was a great
success while on the other hand
trunk sewers were generally success
full.
Mr.. Tomlinson then talked at
length on the manner in which the
system should be paid for but when
he finished he was informed by Presi-
dent Foote and Counsel Cutler that
provision was made for same in the
laws.
The discussion here ended and the
meeting adjourned until Wednesday,
evening June IL.

on the scene Monday night where the
stiffest kind of opposition was at once

headed by Mr.. Pidoock himself, who
wanted ex-Sheriff Lake nominated.
But the Hunterdon contingent was
not in it at any time and Flanagan
was named on the second ballot.
William A. Stryker, of Washington,
was made chairman and Jacob l..
Bonnel, of Sussex, secretary of the

There was lively fight for control

Resolutions Of Respect.

At a meeting of the trustees OF
the Washington Association held on
Wednesday, resolutions were adopted
relative to the death of Mr.. Bushnell as
follows:
1t would be difficult for the asso-
ciates of Mr.. Thomas Campbell Bush
nell, in the Washington Association,
to express too strongly their love for
and appreciation of one so dear to
them all: and yet instinctively they
feel that their words should be as
simple as the man of whom they are
spoken.
Mr.. Bushnell's official connection
with the Association as trustee for
many years and afterwards as one of
its few honorary members, is the rec
ord of his modesty; his deep interest
in, and loyalty to it's purposes, and
his recognized ability entitled him
to more prominent positions to which
his associates would gladly have
chosen him, but which he shrank
from assuming.
The extent of his munificence to the
Association will never be known to
its members, since he so wished it,
and In loyalty to his memory his
wishes must be sacred. He was gen.
erous not for fame, but for the works
sake.
Faithful and valuable as were his
services, wise as was his counsel, his
best memorial is written in the hearts
of those who loved him and we shall
remember him less for what he did,
than for what he was: the loyal friend
whose tender sympathy found wide
expression in kindly deeds; the gen.
ial, simple gentleman, whose COM
panionship was full of charm.
