Orphans to See the Fair.

AS a result Of correspondence be-
tween some charitable citizens
throughout the state and officials of
the railroad lines running from the
several orphanage institutions in this
state to Charleston, arrangements have
been perfected whereby the children
of these institutions will be given an
opportunity to visit the exposition.
It has not yet been determined what
day will be assigned the orphans. The
children of the Epworth orphanage in
Columbia will probably be the first to
take the trip. The entire body Of chill
dren will be taken down over the
Southern railway and returned over
the Atlantic Coast line. The same
scheme will be employed in the move
ment of the children from the other
orphanages in the state.
The little ones will have every com
fort en- route that would be enjoyed by
those who pay the regular rates. The
railroads have acted generously and
deserve the thanks of all those who
have the interest of the little ones at
heart.

FORTY THOUSAND VICTIMS.
Details of Volcanic Horror on Island
of Martinique Fearfully Appalling.

has been described by writer as be-
ing perhaps the most interesting island
of the most attractive archipelago OF
all this world" Martinique is about
thirty miles due south across the Car
ibbean waters from Dominica. Column
bus made it's discovery On his last voy-
age, in 1902 It's extreme length is
about forty-fve miles from northwest
to southeast, and the main part OF 1t
is in the shape of an oval with rough
edges, its greatest width being fifteen
miles.
The whole area of the island, nearly
400 square miles, is mountainous. Tne
loftiest height is Mont Peiee, whose
monstrous crater, long dormant, vom-
tied it's food of molten lava and ashes
upon the city Of st. Pierre, which lay
upon it's gentler slopes, and sought in
recent years to climb higher toward
the crater. Mont Pelee, on the north
west shore of the island, is 4,4oO feet
above the sea level, and near the foot
of it's western slopes lies the bay along
.-5hich st. Pierre was built.
The adventurous Norman captain,
came down from st. Chris
topher in 1885 and founded st. Pierre
at the very foot of the frowning peak
of Felee.
The population of Martinique is reck-
oned at about $4,000, of whom 10000
are whites, $4,000 of Asiatic origin and
$50 900 black. The oldest, most popu'
lous and fourishing city of Martinique
was the now wasted city Of st. Pierre.
It was also the chief seat OF the Is
lands trade. There was a lower and
upper town and from the bay it seemed
to rise in terraces of yellow houses
with red roofs embowered in gardens
and groves. The streets within the
city were mostly narrow, steep sud
we'll paved.
Like Guade.oupe, Martinique is de-
partment of France, with one senator
and two deputies to represent it. 1t Is
divided into the two ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Of st. Pierre and Fort de France, and
into twenty-five communes. A COVER
nor and council are appointed by the
home government, and there Is a gen
eral council Of thirty-six elected mem

June meeting, the resignation of sever
al other members of the faculty will
be submitted.
After full investigation into the mat
ter OF the suspension Of Cadet Thorn
well, it was found: First, the offense
committed was not serious enough to
warrant the penalty imposed upon the
student.
Second, the faculty was never In full
possession of the facts in the case, as
was clearly shown at the investigation,
and further, the trial Of the student
was not conducted with the serious
ness and thoroughness that should OBJ
tain when the good name Of student
was involved. For these reasons Ca
det Thornwell was ordered reinstated.
The members of the sophomore class
who left the institution through SYM
pathy with their fellow classmate will
be allowed to re-enter the college upon
individual application, made In a due
and respectful manner. The class
was censored by the trustees for not
appealing to them from the faculty's
action instead OF pre-emptorily taking
the matter into their own hands.

Exoneraton For Dominiclt7

The legislative committee charged
with the duty Of investigating the con-
duct of Representative Fred H. Dom
mick, Of Newberry, has concluded its
labors and it's report will be filed in a
day or two with the governor. 1t is an
open secret, however, that they acquit
Mr.. Dominick of wrongdoing.
The charge against Mr.. Dominick
was that while bill was going through
the free conference stage another was
substituted of an entirely different
character, and that he obtained the
signatures of the members OF the COM
mittee to this bill when they were un-
der the impression that they were sign
Ing the report to an entirely different
measure. There was no question about
the bill being substituted, but the COM
mittee considered that evidence was
lacking to prove that Mr.. Dominick de-
ceived the other members of the COM
mittee.

Clemson Students Win.

The board of trustees of Clemson
college investigated the trouble exist
ing between the faculty and students
of that institution at meeting held
the past week. OF the thirteen mem
bers comprising the board, eight were
present, including Senator Tillman,
who is also a member.
The result Of their deliberations was
a complete victory for the students Of
the college. Cadet Thornwell, whose
suspension caused the walk-out, was
reinstated and the boys who left the
institution were allowed to return.
The charges preferred against Presi-
dent Hartzog by committee of stu
dents were withdrawn. In justice to
President Hartzcg it should be stated
that he placed his resignation in the
hands of the board several days pre-
viously, so that the trustees might not
feel embarrassed in making the most
rigid examination.

took a prominent part in the inyestiga-
ton and was much wrought up over
the affair, saying that "the board was
trying to save the college, to prevent
disintegration by mob laws through

tees"
The fact that President Hartzog had

RURIAL OF ADMIRAL SAMPSON
With Impressive Pomp, But Simple
Funeral Rites, Body of Admiral
Is Entombed at Arlington.

With a pomp and circumstance ex'
ceeding that of any naval funeral in
this country in recent years at least
the remains of the late William Thorn
as Sampson, rear admiral in the Uni
ted States navy, were laid at rest Fri
day ia Arlington cemetery at Washing
ton.
The military and naval features OF
the ceremonies were brilliant and i'm
pressive. The funeral escort was COM
posed of the light battery Of United
States artillery, commanded by Cap
tain Foote and drawn from Fort Myer;
the naval cadets from Annapolis, 24I
strong, and battalion of blue jackets
from the north Atlantic squadron.
The funeral services were held IN
the Church of the Covenant. A prom
inent figure in the pews directly IN
the rear of the diplomatic body was
Lieutenant General Miles. A notable
figure was General Longstreet, OF the
confederate army. The funeral was
exceedingly simple, but deeply impress
sive. There were no signs OF mourn
ing about the church, but magnificent
floral emblems, gifts of the president
and others, banked the space across
the rear of the chancel.
The president arrived at the church
almost simultaneously with the heao
of the funeral escort. Advancing SLOW
" 10 the words of psalm, the funeral
party turned into the main aisle: BE-
hind the clergyman and headed by the
admiral of the navy, George Dewey,
were SIMPSONS war captains ana
many other notable naval chiefs.
AS the casket. which was closely coV-
cred with the blue field of the Ameri-
can flag, was gently lowered upon the
bier from the shoulders of the blue
Jackets, the male quartet sang Lead,
Kindly Light" Meanwhile the mourn
ers. the family Of the deceased. save
Mrs. Sampson. who was too i'll to at
tend. were seated. Then followed the
funeral ritual Of the Presbyterian
church.
The burial ceremonies at Arlington
were simple. being confined to a prayer
for the dead. the reading of psalm,

cler stationed at the head of the open
grave. The president and his cabinet
did not go to Arlington.

SCORES Die IN NAPTHA FLAMES
Horror at Pittsburg, Pa, In Which
Over Twenty People Lose Life
and Two Hundred are Injured.

A special from Pittsburg, Pa, says:
The Sheridan yard of the Panhandle
railroad was the scene Monday even
ing of one of the most disastrous ex-
blossoms and fires known in that sec
ton for many years. A score OF lives
were lost and about 200 persons were
so badly burned that, according to the
judgment of physicians in attendance
Is per cent of them will die from the
effects of their injuries.
The property loss will amount to at
least 100000.
While a train of naphtha cars was
being switched the rear car telescoped
a car forward. The leaking naphtha
ignited from a swicth light, causing
an explosion which threw the flames
so feet high. Much of the escaping
naphtha ran through corks run to
Esplenbourgh, distance OF l IL miles
and caused another explosion, blowing
to atoms the Seymour hotel and the
Collins house, on River road, and bad
iy wrecking a frame building near by,
in which were congregated 200 or more
men from Pittsburg and vicinity, bet
ting on the races and baseball. Few
CT the occupants Of this building es-
capped injury, many being badly hurt.
The first car of naphtha exploded
about 4:40 o'clock and the spectacle
soon attracted large crowd on the
streets, lining the hills on both sides
of the parallel to the railroad. The
second car exploded about 5 o'clock,
but it was 6:15 o'clock when three
more cars Of tho deadly stuff went up
with a roar that could be heard for
miles before the work Of destruction
really began.
A torrent of flames belched forth. on
each side OF the track, sweeping back
the terrified spectators like charge Of
artillery and sending a shower Of fame
over their heads.
The successive explosions had heat
ed the air to such an extent that be-
fore the third explosion many were
rendered unconscious by the extreme
heat and gaseous fumes, and were be-
ing carried away when the torrent OF
fame swept over the excited crowd.
There was an awful hush for mo-
ment, then followed a scene Of frenzy.
Men and women, their clothing ablaze,
their faces scorched and blistered, and
their hair burned off their heads, ran
hither and thither, only intent on es-
Gaping from the furnace Of fire. Some
gave vent to frenzied appeals to kill
them and put them out of their misery,
and little children with their hair and
clothing afre, cried piteously as they
were swept along the tide Of burning
humanity.
All the Pntsburg ambulances were
immeditely dispatched to the scene
with a corps Of physicians. Many of
those not seriously burned were re-
moved to their homes in Sheridan,
while others were sent to the various
Pittsburg hospitals and the dead re-
moved to undertaking establishments
in Sheridan and vicinity and to the
Pittsburg morgue.
