Dr. James Woodrow Dead.

Columbia, Jan. 17.-Dr. James
Woodrow scientist, college presi-
dent, theologian, publicist, banker
and business man, died to-day, aged
70 years. His death has been ex-
pected at any moment for several
days.
DIR. Woodrow was a native of
England, having been born at Car.
Isle in 1928. His father, who was a
Presbyterian minister, moved to Can
ada when James Woodrow was seven
years old, and later moved to Ohio,
where the son was educated.
DIR. Woodrow moved to the South
before the war, and was engaged as
a teacher at different schools. He
later spent year or more in studies
in Europe, and was elected to pro-
fessorship in the Presbyterian Theo-
logical Seminary in Columbia in
January, 1861. He had in the mean
time been granted degree as a doc
tor of medicine, and also as a minis
ter of the gospel. He volunteered in
the Confederate army at the out
break of the war, but was released
later and during the war served as a
chemist for the Confederacy. After
the war he returned to Columbia and
has lived here ever since.
He was, for a long time, president
of the Theological Seminary, pro.
fessor in and for while president of
the South Carolina College, and was
identified in many ways with bust
ness affairs in Columbia. He leaves

1000 KILLED; 100000 HOMELESS.
FAMINE IMMINENT At KINGSTON PROP.
ERTY LOSS FULLY $t0,00o,0oo.

st. Thomas, Danish West Indies,
Jan. 16.-Reports received here from
Jamaica say that it is conservatively
estimated that 1000 have been killed
by the earthquake and fire, and that
10000 persons are homeless. The
damage to Kingston alone is placed
at fully $10,OO0,OOo.
Later advices received here from
Jamaica declare that all people have
been warned to keep away from
Kingston. The stencil there is de-
scribed as awful. There is no fodder
for animals and famine is imminent.
Money ia useless. The banks have
been burned, but the vaults are sup
posed to be safe. The misery on all
sides is indescribable. Rich and
poor alike are homeless. Provisions
of all kinds are urgently needed. 1t
is impossible to say where anybody
can be found. Sir James Ferguson,
vice chairman of the Royal Mail
Steamship Company, is among the
killed. The loss of life is very great,
but the exact numbers are not yet
known. The dead are buried under
smouldering ruins.
The mercantile community suf-
fered most severely, warehouses fall
ing upon them. Many professional
men are dead or injured. The ne
groes are looting. Ghastly scenes
are being witnessed. All the shops
have been destroyed and all the
buildings in and around Kingston
are in ruins. Very few of them are
safe to live in.

In Memory Of Mrs. Martha Pitts.

Dearest grandmother, she has left us,
Left us! Yes, forever more,
But we hope to meet our dearest grand
mother
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the home and sad the house,
Since our dearest one has gone,
But, oh, a brighter home than ours,
1n heaven, is now her own.
Farewell, dearest grandmother, but not
forever,
There will be a glorious dawn.
We shall meet to part no more,
On that resurrection morn. 80
Though thy form lies sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shall have a glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.
The gentle voice is hushed.
Thy warm, true heart Is stiled,
Thy hands are olasped upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy lovely brow.
And in our hearts we know
We have no grandmother now;
Yet, again we hope to meet her,
In that happy home above. Nj.

Sixteen Hours to Be the Limit.

Washington, Jan. 14.-By a vote of 70
to !, the Senate to-day passed bill pro-
viding that railway employees engaged
in the handling of trains shall not work
more than 16 consecutive hours, which
period is to be followed by 10 hours off
duty. The one negative vote was cast
by Senator Pettus.
This accomplishment was reached
after an entire day in consideration of
the subject. The parliamentary situa-
tion was confused during the entire time,
caused by the forty pending amend
ments and the three substitutes for the
original bill, all of which had to be dis
posed of.
The bill which was finally passed was
substitute offered to-day by Senator
La Toilette and not in print. 1t was
amended in several respects by the Sem
ate.
The bill provides that under certain
contingencies and in case of accident
the time fixed may be exceeded The
enforcement of the law is placed in the
hands of the Inte' State Commerce Com
mission and the Federal Cou,ts, the
penalty provided being fine of not less
than 500 nor more than $1,000.
The act Is to apply to trains doing an
Interstate or foreign commerce business.
