Terrible Destitutlon as a Result of

are heartrending scenes all over the
eastern and northern portions Of Tire

thousands of homeless and starving
people have sought shelter IN the 0ld
prison and the few other hullllinEs
which survived the hurricane These
who could not be thus accommodated
are converting In the lee Of ruined wa Us
and dismanted piazzas. 'rhe railroad
sheds and waiting rooms are filled
With women and children. The mer-
chants of the place are feeding the
hungry to the best Of their ability but
the majority are depending upon
green bananas knocked down BY the
storm Similar conditions prevail at
Annotata Bay Buff Bay. Orange Bay,
Port Maria. Manchionoal, Morant Bay,
Bowden and other smaller seapoIts
In the interior district distress Is
equally acute. Scarcely peasant $
home Is standing. Unless immediate
shipments of foodstuffs come from
America deaths by starvation are in

Will ASK ron A NEW TRIAL
CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST
rnprcn TO

Cynthiana, KY, Aug. 16. Curtis
Jett and Thomas White were yester-
day found guilty OF the murder OF }. b
Marcum at Jackson May 4, and sen
fenced to imprisonment FOR llfe, ~
their trial held In Jackson last month
one juror hung the jury to the last ON
the question OF guilt and this time one
juror hung the jliry for tWentyfour
hours on the question of sentence.
During tho afternoon Judge Osborne

sist of objections to evidence admitted

Tor the-lefcnse, and also the ruling out
OF ailidavits made by the defendants
saving that fair and impartial trial

The attorneys for the prosecution
were in consultation during the alter

W. II. Bracker Thinks Water
Plant Might Be Better There
Than Elsewhere.
GOOD LOCATION NEAR ST. AN
THONY HOSPITAL.
Plant Will Be Placed Where
Best Water Can Be
Obtained.

W. Fl. Bracken, chairman Of
the state board of health. who
was in the city last week, re-
turned to ST Paul Saturday.
He will pay another visit to Be
midi in the near future, how
ever, in the interests Of the pro
posed sewer system and new
water plant. On the state board
of health will depend to a con-
siderable extent where the new
water plant is placed, and along
what plans the sewer is laid, for
the state board must pass favor
ably upon projects OF this KIND
before anything can be done on
the part Of the village or city
where the Improvements are to
be made. Mr.. Bracken recon-
mended that the plans for the
proposed sewer be forwarded to
the state board of health and his
recommendations We're carried
out.
He was Of the opinion that the
best place for the water plant to
be established would be within
eighty or one hundred feet of the
lake shore somewhere in the
vicinity of the ST. Anthony hos
rital, probably to the north Of the
building. He thought that purel
water could thus be obtained, foR
the water from the lake would be
thoroughly filtered by the time
itreached the pump points and
would be more apt to be pure
than would be the case if it was
taken from some spot farther
from the lake and more centrally
located as regards the business
and residence section.
Tests from all likely spots will
be taken and the plant will be
located, nall probability, where
the purest water is found, even
though the expense to the city
be greater. for it is figured that
in the long run this action would
be cheaper. 1t is believed that
the people want the best water
at any cost.
