PARIS, Sept. 3.-The ministry of the col
onies received to-day an undated dispatch
from Fort De France. Martinique, report
ing an excessively intense eruption of Mont
Pelee The destructive radius extended
into the interior of the island. During the
night of Aug. 30-31 Morne Rouge, Ajoupa
Bouillon, Morne Bendon and the villages of
Balai, Capot and Bellevue were destroyed.
The dispatch further announced that there
were 900 victims 800 OF whom were dead.
Aug 81 assistance and troops were sent to
this region, Governor Lemaire going on the
French cruiser Suchet to evacuate Grande
Riyiere and Macouba, whence he brought
1000 sufferers TO Fort De France. The
French cruiser Tage rescued the inhabi-
tants of the northern regions so far as st.
Pierre where there were no victims. The
Governor of Martinique has taken measures
to give employment to those who are able
to work, and to create centers of refuge in
order to prevent overcrowding Fort De

were noticed as at the time of the eruption

lied. The City Hall is located where Penn
intended ii TO be- and the big statue OF
the founder tops the high marble and steel
such a wonderful building as is now the
center of Philadelphia's municipal life.
The City Hall is a modern realization or
plans made long ago by residents OF the
modest little city by the Delaware. In 1851.
when Penn plotted out the city, he provided
site for town hall. 1t was at Center
square, now Penn square. Independence
Hall was built in Chestnut street many
years later, and IL was not until 1876 that
anything definite was done toward erecting
town hall In Penn square. Plans discussed
then fell through, but In lS4z were revived.
In 1860 elaborate plans were drawn for a
public building, but the unrest prior TO the
civil war caused their abandonment.
In 1868 the City Councils passed an ordi-
nance providing for the erection of a city
hall In Independence square and commits
sioners were appointed TO carry out the
plans. John Macarthur, jr., was made the
architect and then followed a fight as TO
where the building should be erected. The
Legislature was appealed TO and super
and leaving the decision as TO the site to
the people of the city, who, by vote, chose
Penn square. A State commission was APP
pointed and Macarthur was again made
architect.
Ground was formally broken for the new
building Aug. is, 1871, by John Rice then
president OF the commission. The granite
basement was built at a cost OF $4,000. and
on July 4. 1874, the cornerstone was laid.
Then began the work on the superstructure
and the spending of millions OF dollars.
The last block of marble was not In place
until May, 1851. Following that the iron
top OF the tower was built and the inside
work went on. The interior is still unfin-
ished and number of finished rooms are
still unfurnished.
The building of the City Hall in Penn
square caused a transformation OF the busi-
ness section OF the city. Property near the
public building increased many times In
value. Now the City Hall is almost sur
rounded by office buildings, hives Of busi-
ness activity.
The building passed from the control OF
the state commission July ! last year. IL
is now in charge of the bureau of city
property. Up to June 26 last year the
state commission spent s24.3l3. 1913 on the
great structure. Since then the mainte-
nance, furnishings. repairs and work to-
ward completion have cost about 500. 600.
There are 80 rooms in the building. which
| covers four and one-half acres. The archi-
lecture Is both condemned and admired.

go and received no reply. Former Secretary
Alger says in his book that this was be-

he later asked for 1t and got no answer.
At any rate Miles did not think that the

Democrats Break Their Promise.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Sept. 3.-Republic-
ans of Bloomington got a test Of Demo-
cratic civil-service reform last night
through the first Democratic Council in
the history Of Bloomington. Since May
last the Council has been Republican, and
the Democrats, fearing that the Repub-
leans would redistrict the city and re-
main in control, guaranteed that they
would allow Republicans to remain in the
appointive offices. Instead, two officers
were removed because they were Repub-
Hcans-the attorney and a policeman. In
addition, Republicans are now given to un-
derstand that with one or two exceptions
a clean sweep is to be made and Demo-
Gratis placed in the positions.
