Plans for the laying out OF the new part
OF Woodbine cemetery have been pre-
pared, and the work probably will begin
this year. The new part is tract OF about
eight acres, the east line being on the
line of the west line of the old
cemetery but further back, the front
line of the new part being on line
with the back line of the old cemetery.
Tue general plan for the laying out of the
new part divides it into quarters, two
main avenues bisecting it from east to
west and from north to south. Where
these avenues intersect, in the centre Of
the tract, there is a circular plot in which
it is proposed, il a water system is put in,
to erect fountain. There are $50 lots in
the new tract, which will make the total
number of lots in the cemetery 1,474. The
tract is now being cleared of wood. The
cemetery association contemplates other
improvements on the old cemetery. 1t is
understood that il Superintendent Foster
succeeds in raising $500 by subscription to
put in water supply, the association will
lay out an additional $500 in improve
meuts

A sMoKING Waste.
On Site of St Pierre 10000 Bodies
Are Hidden From View.

Fort de France. Island of Martinique,
May 12.-AdVices received here To-Day
from the vicinity of St Pierre, ten
miles from here, contain further details
of the volcanic upheaval, which resulted
in the destruction of that town and the
death of nearly all of its inhabitants.
The crater of Mont Pelee has been
wearing its smoke cap since May 3
but there was nothing until last Mon
day to indicate that there was the
slightest danger. On that day stream
of boiling lava burst through the top OF
the crater and plunged into the valley
of the River Blanche, overwhelming the
Guerin sugar works and killing twenty
three work people and the son of the
proprietor.
A commission was appointed by the
governor to investigate the outbreak
and 1t returned a reaSsuring report
Wednesday evening But about 3
o'clock Thursday morning shower OF
fire rushed down on ST. Pierre and the
coast from LIE Carbet, which had
population of 5000, TO LIE Prechaur
which had a population of 1000 burn
ing up everything in its path.
Throughout Thursday the heat in the
vicinity of St. Pierre was SO intense
and the stream of flowing lava was so
unremitting that it was impossible to
approach the town in the early part of
the day. As evening approached the
French cruiser Suchet, after a heroic
struggle against the heat, sunocatiOn
and sulphur fumes, succeeded in max
iIAS q udSH lO8dI0 llle SliO47G5 4lEdt1Al5
the land close enough to enable her to
take off thirty survivors of the dis
aster, all of whom were burned and
mutilated. St Pierre at that time was
an absolute smoking waste, concealing
10000 dead bodies.
The inhabitants of Fort de France
were panic stricken the morning of the
disaster, when the sky suddenly black
ened until it was as dark as midnight
The sea shrank back 80 yards, rain be-
gan to fall and gravel the size of wal
nuts poured down upon the town. This
lasted about IS minutes
The $50 survivors who We're brought
here from the vicinity of St. Pierre by
the French cable repair ship Pouyer
Guertier, came from the town of LIE
Precheur, where. surrounded on all sides
by flowing lava, they were nearly
roasted to death and expected momen-
tarily to be engulfed.
THE WORK OF RELIEF.
The work of relief is progressing here
on the most extensive scale possible,
but in anticipation Of disturbances, the
treasure building and the warehouses
are guarded by troops.
The latest reports received here
showed that lava continues to pour
down the slopes Of the mountain, slow
ly engulfing the whole north side of the
island, while fresh crevasses are con-
tinually opening.

GOOD BEAVER ENGINEERING
TFrom the Denver Times.J


At the last meeting of the Acadamy of
Science a member reported a case of all
most human intelligence exhibited by a
colony of about 80 beavers in Ell Paso
county, near Palmer Lake.
A short distance from the town the bea-
vers had constructed dam in a shallow
creek that fed the reservoir which supplies
the town with water. The dam and the
beaver houses had been at this point for
many years and formed one Of the places
visited by sightseers At length the dam
became a hindrance TO the settlers who
used the water of the creek for irrigation,
break it SO that the water could be utilized
and the people on several occasions broke
the dam in the daytime and as often
would the little animals repair it during
the following night
The beavers, becoming Disguised with
the way things We're going, decided to mi
crate to a more secluded spot. They dis
appeared suddenly, the entire BODY gong
away together. They went up the stream
about two miles until they found a point
where the mountain range could be crossed
and descended into another stream, one
mile beyond, and constructed a dam
Dr. ]. b Kinley, the Denver scientist,
who went to the scene and made an IN
vestigatiOn of the affair, says that he be-
lieVes that the beavers held a consultation
and before abandoning their old home sent
a committee of at least two-perhaps more
out on accommodating expedition. He
found evidence in the way of tracks and
other things to prove that this precautiOn
had been taken. The scouts went first in
several directions and finally hit upon the
place to locate and the route thither and
reported to the folks at home. He said that
the most experienced engineer could not
have performed his work with greater

ever before been so far away from home

Baltimore had hard luck in Boston
this year. Beginning with the money
loss on April 19 on account of the ina
bility of the management to handle the
crowd and the cold weather, they have
been hard hit in one of the best eitadels
of the American league.
It develops that the selling price of

ais was only 81, 500. one-half of which
