common, where he delivered his ad-
dress, the pavilion steps were strewn
with flowers by little girls who were
drawn up on both sides.
Labor day was generally celebrated
throughout the state, wherever the
train stopped holiday crowds were out
to extend the president welcome.
The heat was excessive but the presl-
dent seemed to suffer but little from
its effects. His remarks on the sub

a tribute to the people of Vermont, and
he expressed his pleasure at being
greeted by the representatives OF OF
ganized labor, because, he said, the
typical American is the man VINO

CRUSHED LIKE EGG Shells
THE WRECK OCCURRED WHILE
: ROUNDING CURVE ON "A HIGH
ENHANCEMENT.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 8. - While
rounding q curve on q high embank.
ment near Berry, Ala, at $3.50 O'Clock
yesterday morning, the engine and
four cars of an excursion train on a
branch Of the Southern railway leaped
from the track and rolled over and
over, smashing the coaches into kind
ling wood and causing the instant
death of thirty persons and the
injury Of eighty-one others. Physi-
clans say at least twenty-nine Of the
injured cannot live.
With the exception of H. M. Dudley,
trainmaster of the Southern railway,
living at Birmingham, and Roscoe
Shelby Of Columbus, Miss; all of the
dead and injured are negroes who had
taken advantage of excursion rates
from points in Mississippi to Birming-
ham. When the wreck occurred the
train was running at rate of thirty
miles an hour, and just started around
q curve on top Of q sixty-foot embank-
ment.
Crushed Like Egg Shells.
Without warning the tender sudden
ly left the track, Jerking the locomo-
tive and the first four cars with it.
There were ten cars to the excursion
train, but the fourth broke loose from
the fifth and plunged down the steep
incline. The cars, which were packed
with passengers, turned completely
over several times and were crushed
like egg shells, killing and Gripping
the inmates. Persons who have re-
turned from the scene of the wreck
say it is indescribable.
The dead bodies of the negroes were
scattered Ia every direction, and the
n.oans and appeals for help from the
wounded were heartrending.
AS soon as the accident was report
ed to the officials OF the road wrecking
trains carrying physicians were hur-
ried from Columbus, Miss, and Birm-
ingham and everything possible rs be-
ing done to alleviate the suferings of
the injured.

The British steamer Korea arrived
here yesterday; evening from Fort-de.
France, Island of Martinique:
She reports that an eruption of Mont
Pelee occurred at o'clock Saturday
night and that people who arrived at
France from the Northern part
of the island reported that the village
of Morne Rogue, near the district pre-
viously devastated, has been entirely
destroyed.
LIE Carbet, village on the coast.
which was destroyed at the time Of
the great eruption, has been swept by
tidal wave. About 200 persons lost
their lives.
A sloop from the Island of st. Vim.
cent which reached here yesterday re-
ports that Mont Pelee is now quiet.
but that the inhabitants are terribly
alarmed.
In Constant Eruption.
Mont Pelee has been in constant
eruption since Aug. IS. There was an
enormous fall of ashes from the vol
cano the night of the 18th. There was
very severe eruption the night of the
18th when the volcanic rumblings
were heard at great distance. The
mountain burned fiercely that night
and out at sea passing vessels were
covered with ashes. The night of the
18th there were three separate erup-
tions.
1t is impossible to approach the ru-
ined town of st. Pierre from the sea.
The people Of the village Of LIE Carbet,
on the coast, are terroTgtricken and.
flying to the interior. Hot water is
pouring down on Lorrain and Basse
Pointe, villages to the northeast Of
the crater. Horrible decorations were
heard, the ground rocked and quaked
and articles on tables were thrown to
the floor. The governor Of Martinique
has ordered every available boat
To Remove People
from the coast villages to Fort-de-
France. At 8 o'clock in the evening Of
Saturday the sky was cloudless. Sud-
denly and without warning, one-half
of the horizon was obscured by a pitch
black cloud of dust. This cloud was
the center of most magnificent cleo
trio effects. A tidal wave rushed on
Fort-de.F France and the terrified inhab-
itants fed in large numbers to the in
terror. The wave was not severe and
did but slight damage.
At midnight of the 30th Mont Pelee
was quiet. Shortly after this hour
there came another shower of ashes,
ACCOMPANIED by vivid sheet lightning.
In addition to the 200 persons re-
ported to have lost their lives at Le
Carbet and Morne Rouge. many 9TH
er persons are said to have been killed:
all over the northern districts OF the
island. The governor of Martinique 10
