slopes, filling the sea about the coast.
Fifty laborers, deceived by the apparent
quietude of the volcano, were working
within the fire zone Wednesday, at the ex-
IRENE north of the island when they sud-
denly saw evidence of an approaching dis
turbance of the mountain, but were unable
to leave the spot before electric flashes and
an outpour of gases drove them to their
shelter, where they remained at the base
of the mountain. throughout the terrible
night. while forked lightning darted in all
directions around them. The men miracu-
lously escaped unhurt and arrived at Kings
town yesterday.
The port officer Of Chateau Belair. who
saw the Soufriere from the sea yesterday,
made the following report:
The mountain is considerably lower than
before September 3, and the appearance of
the summit has changed. A large proper
ton has evidently been blown of, and the
hill has much more jagged contour. The
nefghborhood is altered. New ridges, val
leys and a strange ravine have been cut IN
the west side Of the volcano, down to what
was formerly the Carib settlement of Hara-
CAL where liquid matter was seen flowing
during the afternoon Of September g. The
northwestern estates, Petit Bordefie and
Shapes, are covered with from ten to
twenty inches of gritty substance. The
crops of arrowroot and cocoa are ruined

was terrific storm, accompanied by blind

TRY TO LYNCH INNOCENT MAN.
Police Chief Appears in Time to Save
Negro.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune from
Camden, N. j., yesterday says: A negro
whose innocence Of the crime of which he
was accused was subsequently shown, was
nearly lynched at Jordantown this morn
ing. Mrs. Eliza Osler was assaulted by a
negro and nearly killed near the scene Of
the Laconey murder at Pensauken. Suspi-
cion fell upon the negro in question, and a
mob surrounded the house in which he
lived and made threats of lynching The
crowd became more and more excited and
at last preparations were made to set fire
to the house and burn the negro out
While this was being carried out Chief of
Police Linderman appeared on the scene
He demonstrated with the mob, but his ap-
peals were in vain, and affairs were rapidly
approaching a crisis when Mrs. Osler's son.
who had been helpless witness of the at
tack on his mother, was brought to the
scene. He was taken into the house by the
chief of police and the negro was brought
before him. After looking him over care
fully the boy declared that the man was
not the assailant of his mother THIS in
formation was conveyed to the waiting
crowd, which then dispersed.
Two negroes, arrested at Mount Holly on
suspicion, and now in jail, have been partly
identified by Elias Oser as the assailants
of his mother. The news Of the attack
reached Mount Holly shortly after it oc-
Cured and the police arrested the men as
they jumped from the night freight just be-
low the local station. The freight crew
said at that time that the negroes boarded
the train at Lenola, being seen in the
neighborhood of that station when the train
stopped Although Mrs. Osler is In a crit
ical condition, she furnished a fair descrip-
ton OF her assailants, and the men now un-
der arrest will be taken before her for fur
Their identification as soon as she is able to
see them.
Mrs. Osler was attacked about clock
last night as she, with her nine-year-old
son, stepped from trolley car near the old
Merchantville race track. A negro demand
ed her money, and when she screamed
threw her to the ground with such violence
that her shoulder blade was broken and she
was otherwise badly injured. While Mrs.
Osier lay unconscious the ruffian took her
jewelry and money.
John Spangler, a neighbor, heard her
sons cries for assistance, and while hasten
ing to the rescue, fell across the PenusvI-
Fanla railroad tracks in front of an express
train He was tossed twenty feet, and was
picked up unconscious with several ribs
broken. Both he and Mrs. OsIer are in a
critical condition TODAY

SAILED THROUGH RED WATER.
Captain of Baltimore Steamer Had
Curious Experieuce.

A dispatch from Baltimore yesterday
says: Capt. Delano Of the steamer Chesa-
peake which arrived today from New
York, brought evidence of a queer phe-
nomenon he witnessed at sea. On Sunday,
when ten miles southeast of Fenwick's Is
land lightship, the Chesapeake suddenly ran
into water that was blood red. A layer Of
what appeared to be lead-colored dust coy
cred the surface of the water for miles At
first Capt. Delano thought the change in
the waters color could be attributed to
reflection or to the contents of some debris
or liquid thrown overheard from a vessel
Several bucketfuls were drawn up, and
each was as deeply colored as the sea had
appeared Bottles were filled with the
water. What then puzzled the captain
was that the leaden-like dust that covered
the sea and apparently ftoated on the Wine
colored waters did not float, but mixed with
the water and formed a sediment at
the bottom of the bottle. The Chesapeake
steamed twenty-five miles before the last
of the claret-colored water was passed
through

Hills Plurality for Governor Estimat-

night says:
The republicans and democrats both had
losses in today's election, the returns from
2uo cities and towns showing IA per cent
decrease for the former and - per cent
loss Tor the democrats as compared with

Llewellyn Powers of Houlton in the fourth,
are reelected by the usual pluralities, their
vote running close upon that for governor.
incomplete figures show that Representative
Littlefield has made the best run Of all.
Inc election was marked by good
weather, quietude at the polls and an
uncommonly large number of irregular bal
lots. The latter was the leading feature
of the day. Never before in the history of
the Australian ballot system in Maine had
so much cutting been done In at least
four of the big counties Of the state, Cum
berland, Androscoggin, York and Hancock,
there were contests for the sheriff election
based on local differences relative to the
enforcement Of the prohibition law but in
other sections there was little to bring out
full party vote.
Chairman Simpson of the state commit
tee tonight sent message to the Presi-
dent. saying:
Maine has gone republican as 1t once
went for Gov. Kent. We have carried the
state by plurality Of $4,000. Have elect
ed the entire delegation In Congress by a

four-ffths of the legislature. The pine

today shown her appreciation of the re-
publican policies, which have given to our
country prosperity unequaled in the his
tory of the world"
