News From Jsmsies Storm, Center.

DIR. A. l.. Stubbs received a let
ter last Saturday from his sister.
Mrs. Arthur Swift, who has been
a missionary near Kingston, lam
aica, for the past ten years. The
letter tells OF the terrible devasta-
ton caused by the storm that Wis
tied the island of Jamaica on An.
gust roth, and was the FIRST that
DR.. Stubbs bad received since that
date. The mission house, in which
Mrs. Swift lived, was the only one
left in the town where she is sta
toned, and every window in that
building was broken out. The
homes OF all the natives were
wrecked and blown away, and over
one hundred men, women and
children sought the protection oi
the mission house, as it was the
only building left standing. All
Of the stores were wrecked and
provisions destroyed, ami Mrs.
Swift fears that famine will ensue
unless communication with the
outside world is re established at
once and food stuffs are procured.
The letter relates in det-il the
horrors of the storm and tells oi
the terrible devastation that fol-
lowed in its wake.
