Popular Local Player Decides to Quit
 tho Polo Game.

Johnny Grimm announced to the local managers last evening at the close of the game that he was going to give up the game. He could not attend to the polo and to his other business besides and he thought it better to retire now. He could not do himself full justice on the floor. as his other duties kept him up to all hours of the night and he was not getting sufficient rest. The manage ment were 10th to lose him, but all hands agreed 1t would be better for him to retire now than later when some of the fans might take affront because he was not up to his old standard.
 Secretary Peet sent out word to- day that Dave Cusick, former local goal tender, had been signed by New
 Haven. Cusick is good man and
 has been playing in league of his own up in Manchester and. has also played in the Massachusetts league. The local management has notified the secretary that they are after two more professional players who may
 be here within few days. One of them is a crackerjack and will fill just where he Is needed.

 Many steamers carrying tourists to Jamaica were en route to the island when the earthquake occurred. but no disasters to any of them are reported.
 Kingston and the other points of in- terest of the island are at this season of the year thronged with tourists from both America and England. and the greatest apprehension Is felt for the safety of many persons who had re- gently arrived at the Jamaican resorts.
 The most distinguished of these were members of a party of English states men. agricultural experts and men of affairs. who. under the leadership of Sir Alfred Jones. had arrived in King ston within the past few days to at- tend an agricultural conference there. Among those in the company were Hall Caine. the novelist: viscount Montmo-res. II 0. Arnold-Forster. NJ. P: Sir Thomas Hughes. Sir Thomas Sham and others of equal prominence.

PORT ANTONIO, Jamaica. Jan. 16. Kingston, the picturesque capital of the island of Jamaica, has been devas- tated by violent earthquake, and all direct communication with the strick- en city has been cut off.
 The land and telegraph lines which had been thrown down have been re- constructed to within five miles of Kingston, and from meager reports re- ceiyed through these channels it has been learned that many of the most important buildings have been destroy ed and that there has been serious loss of life.
 The governor of the colony, Sir Alex ander Swettenham, assisted by Sir Al fred Jones, is directing affairs.
 The reports indicate that the fatali- ties number less than 100. though the hospitals are filled with injured, and the list of victims may be materially increased.
 lut UTSt STeul SuOch NuS lCiS dpoue 8:30 o'clock in the afternoon on Mon day and, as in the San Francisco and Valparaiso disasters, flames immedi- ately sprung from the wreckage to carry on the work of destruction, and at last reports the fire was still burn ing. although it was believed to be under control.
 The Myrtle Bank hotel, the principal hotel at Kingston, which probably sheltered the great bulk of visitors on the island, is reported destroyed. The military hospital was burned, and for ty soldiers are reported dead.
 Sir James Ferguson is said to have been instantly killed, but so far as re- ported no other Englishman, Canadian or American is believed to be missing.
 The extent of the destr1ction which has been wrought in Kingston. city which already bears the scars of a number of disastrous visitations of fire, earthquake and cyclone in years gone by. is still left largely to the imagina- ton. The city is one of low lying buildings, clustered along the shores of one of the finest and most securely
