LONDON HAS BEEN IN AS
MUCH DOUBT AS WE.

London, Jan. 16.-The contradic-
tory and scant character of the news
which thus far has reached London
from Jamaica, renders 1t difficult to
estimate the extent of the calamity
caused by the earthquake and the
subsequent conflagration. The mes
sages received by various steamship
and cable companies however, indi-
cate that while the early reports of
the Kingston disaster and of the
great loss of life were exaggerated,
the disaster was stiIl of grave
character. Ruin and desolation are
said to stretch for miles outside of
the city of Kingston. Shocks were
felt from fifty to sixty miles awy,
and on the authority of a dispatch
from the temporary cable station at
Hull Bay. not a single house be-
tween there and Kingston escaped
damage.
Description Is Horrible.
The following cablegram was re-
ceived from the press representa-
tive, who accompanied Sir Alfred
Jones and his party to jamaica:
Fire broke out again tonight
Negroes are looting rum shops. At
least 500 persons were killed. There
are weird and terrible scenes. Forty
five invalid soldiers were burned to
death in the military hospital. Sew
eral shocks were felt today" This
dispatch is undated.
White Victims Few.
No estimate of the loss of life from
official sources yet comes high, but
the camp hospital appears to have
been the center, of visitation, as no
less than forty negroe soldiers were
killed there. There were Isolated
fatalities among the Europeans at
Kingston, but apparently the aggre-
gate of white victims is small. The
distance between buildings known to
have been damaged, is taken to in
dicate that the total loss of property
will be great. According to the lat
est dispatches, slight earth shocks
continue to be felt at Kingston. The
West India committee of the ad-
miralty and private concerns having
interests in Jamaica, are taking all
steps possible to alleviate the dis
tress in Kingston itself.
Ruin and DesOlatiOn Abound.
It transpires that Hall Caine. mem
llOneu us hilt y
of the party of visitors at Kingston,
headed by Sir Alfred Jones, president
of the British Cotton Growers asso-
citation and president of the Liverpool
chamber of commerce, is William
Hall Caine, brother of the English
novelist. The latter called at the
colonial Office this morning and was
assured that the members of Sir AL
fred Jones' party are safe. The West
Indian & Panama Cable company s
office at Bull Bay cables that all the
people of Kingston are camping In
the open and that the earthquake
extended as far as Holland Bay,
where the West Indian & Panama
Cable company's station is damaged,
Between Bull Bay and Kingston" "
the message adds, "there is not
safe house. Ruin and desolation are
everywhere"
Fate of Ferguson i'm Doubt.
The fate of Sir James Ferguson IS
still in doubt. His relatives say that
a dispatch received through tho
colonial office says that he is dead
The colonial office states that its ad-
vices relative to Sir James are not Of

F4RMERS' UNION.

Pell City, arrived Friday night, and
at the night session Mr.. Cook made
an interesting and instructive talk
to the union.
Among the most important business
transacted was that Of taking steps to
build three warehouses in the county:
one at Leesburg, one at Cedar Bluff
and one at either Pleasant Gap or
Spring Garden. These locations were
chosen for the purpose of railroad
transportation and for the convenience
OF the different locals in the county.
1t Is firmly believed that these ware
houses will be built at once, as the un-
ion is fast growing in the county and
the warehouses are a natural neces-
sity in consequence, that the farmers
may be able to store their cotton, to
be marketed as the price will justify.
A very important and timely reso-
luton was adopted that no member
of the union sell any cotton for future
delivery"

An anamolous condition exists in New

This should be met by the abolition of the

the power to control and regulate lighting
corporations.
