cent, accompanied by Mr. George
KEENAN,, the special representative at
Martinique of the Outlook, and one or
two others. This ascent was made
on Sunday of last week, and was the
second ascent OF the volcano made
since its tremendous outburst OF Nav
8. The conditions were slightly bet
ter than on the preceding day. but
the explorers were exposed to great
hardship and danger. Mr.. Ksnnan,
/ n an interview says that Professor
Heilprin's first ascent was most
awful experience, but he started a
second time undaunted." Mr.. Ken
nan describes the crater itself as
huge cavern or crevasse with pcrpin-
dicular walls, to look into which was
like peering into white-hct furnace.
There was no como in the center and
there wore no cindsrs or ashes near
the crater. but there were crusts of
sulphur everywhere, and gigantic
rocks piled up, which had been mis-
taken for a cone of cinders. He adds:
The whole vast bed OF the old era
ter and of Lake Palmiste is emitting
steam through thousands of orifices
The ascent to Lake Palmiste is up a
long and sharp incline covered with
ashes. These had been soaked by
the rain, and, as we proceeded, there
were terrifying gorges full of hot vol
canic matter on each side OF US.
Every footstep dislodged ashes. and
our footing was most insecure. There
were also clouds of sulphurous smoke
through which the sunlight swept at
intervals. The ascent WAS the most
terrifying experience of my life. yet
Professor Heilprn the previous day
had sat snveloped in darkness on the
lip Of what was once Lake Palmiste,
and had descended the horrible arete
in thunderstorm Of volcanic
clouds and almost complete darkness.
Both Mont Pelee and La Soufriers
have given signs Of activity during
the past week, but there have been
no serious explosions nor any devas-
tation, Reports indicate that there
has been no difficulty in relieving the
refugees in Martinique. and that, in
deed, the number there was much
smaller than had been expected. In
St. Vincent the number Of those who
required assistance was much larger.

BALLAD OF THE LADY OF THE NIGHT.

Frank l.. Staunton in Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
A dim path leads to the Lady of Night,
OF the Dwelling of Despair;
She cast a shadow over the light
The shadow of eyes and hair
Her cheeks are bloom but her eyes are
blight,
For the death of the Soul is there.
1 was not by when her soul it died,
And why should the gods decree
TO ScOurge me over the world SO wide
The lady slave to be?
To sit like a ghost at her chill tireside
Where a dead soul StareS at me?
In the bleak of winter, the bloom of May
When the winds 0 'er the meadows race,
Or the StOrmbeat lilies loom cold and
gray.
Idw,ll in the dreary place,
| With grief that eats Loves heart away,
Before that Souls dead face.
".
! And cry to the gods to set me flee
From fetter and thOrn-red crown;
| To send the Darkness to cover me,
| Or the fathOmleSS Deep to drown.
But the lady smiles unpityingly
Asd laughs my clamors down.
V.
cry in vain to the Sea and Night,
With the cry of the crucifed;
| fain would die to the lady'S sight
Though not as her soul hath died;
But | waken, as one in morning light,
With prayers and dreams denied.
VI.
And the winter is long and the summer &
sigh
Where the rose is crimson CLEAN,
And the stars are wraithS in ghOstly
sky
And the sun SOulleSS dream;
While Life, unhseding, hurries by
And is lost like a whelmed stream
VII.
And Fate is thrall to the Lady of Night
In the Dwelling of Despair;
And pray all souls that love the light
To say for me one preyer,
That | may pass from the Lady's sight
And the dead Soul that is there.

Telegraphic advices received by the

announce a wreck on the Southern
railway at Berry, Ala. Twenty five
negroes and Trainmaster Fl. N. Dudley
are reported killed and dozen passen-
gers injured.
\ The trainnaster of the road, reported
to have lost his life, is unquestionably
Harry NJ. Dudley. formerly of this city.
and son of the late +. L. Dudley, at one
time general manager of the Iowa Gem
trail, with headquarters here. The only
discrepancy is in the initial IN. but
as Harry Dudley has been a trainmas-
ter of one of the south divisions of the
Southern, thru an appointment of Cen
eral Manager C. II. Ackert, with head
quarters at Birmingham, Ala, there is
hardly any doubt but that 1t is he.

coLuMelANA COUNTY POTTERY.
Home Of Immense Pottery interests
Still Bujldino More kiIns.


Marshall county residents who once
hailed from Columbiana county, Ohio,
an event to be celebrated by a picnic in
this city on the 18th inst, will be inter-
ested in reading the following from the
News Review of East Liverpool, Ohio:
"Once more the board of trade OF
New Cumberland asks for money, and
for the same object that most every
other town of its size in this part Of
the country asks. 1t is for the building
of pottery. Size, four kilns, that
many to start, at least. A meeting of
the board of trade of that town was
held few evenings ago when the mat
ter was talked over and the question
as to whether an attempt will be made
to raise $4,000 bonus for the purpose
will be considered at another meeting
which. is to be held next Tuesday eve
ming. -" East Liverpool is to the pot
terry industry what Pittsburg is to the
iron and steel industry. the center of
the manufacture in the United States.
Here is being built up an American
trade which bids fair to win its way
not only turnout the United States, but
into the markets of the world. Ameri-
cans are no longer dependent upon for
eign crockery. The wares of Stafford
shire and of France are being displaced
in the American home by the products
of the Ohio valley potteries. Vast
quantities of ceramic ware are sold by
these firms, especially thruout the
south and southwest, to which the river
will furnish cheap and convenient
transportation. And they need it most
now, when they are just beginning to
reap the fruits of years of effort To de-
lay relief for fifty years will be a wan
ton hardship.
