CITY SINKING INTO THE SEA.
Bottom Falls Out of Harbor and New
Peril Is Caused

Bottom Falls Out of HarbOr nnd New
Peril is Caused.
The city of Kingston, rocked by an
earthquake and almost destroyed by
fire, next seemed in imminent danger
of sinking into the sea altogether and
disappearing utterly from the face of
the earth.
With the number OF dead still not
definitely known and estimates run
ming from 1000 to 1,5GO and a property
loss reaching into millions, fresh alarm
was caused by dispatches from Port au
Prince, Haiti, which said that the bed
of the harbor was sinking and that 1t
was dangerous for ships to approach.
There are thousands of tourists in the
vicinity of Kingston and this news
from there caused widespread unrest.
The water along the front portion OF
Kingston is said to be 100 feet deep in
many places and that other portions
of the shore are rapidly sinking. The
Plum point and Port Royal lighthouses
are both at the bottom Of the harber.
The navigation channel has materially
changed and In some places the depth
of the harbor has been altered from
forty to 100 feet. A circumstance hat
tends to uphold the new danger is a
dispatch from Holland Bay, saying
that the portion of the town of Port
Royal which a 200 years ago is
again under water.
The news from Havana regarding
the huge tidal wave that inundated the
orfiro nnoot nam Jo,,nic,'c cay,ffo1 nrI
changed the Jamaican coast line, fol
lowing closely upon the heels OF the
cumulative details of the earthquake
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-01-25

Fresh details Of the disaster came
from various sources. According TO
one report the whole city of Kingston
seemed to shrivei up, buildings crash
ed together and fell in a crushed mass
under the first shock. The business
streets at the time We're well filed
with tourists and no doubt many of
them were caught in the falling brick
work and buried In the debris. Fire
! broke out Immediately after the crash
at three separate points. The fire de-
partment station was wrecked, render
ing resistance to the flames impossible.
until Tuesday morning, by which time
the whole business quarter Of Kings
ton had been wiped out, the damaged
area comprising about a square mile.
All the large warehouses in the low
er part of the city were consumed and
/ not a single house anywhere remained
unchanged, the majority being unfit
for habitation. A conservative esti-
mate Of the casualties made by the po-
lice Of Kingston places the number of
killed at 1,20o.
The treasury in Harbor street was
standing. but the postoffice and court
houses were in ruins. The government
| offices were unsafe for occupation, gov
eminent house vas badly damaged, the
Colonial Bank was burned out, the
Nova Scotia Bank was a heap of ruins.
The Roman Catholic cathedral, the
Paris church and the Scotch, Wesley
an and Baptist chapels had disappear
ed and the theater was destroyed.
At Port Royal, at the entrance of
| Kingston harbor, one Of the batteries
sank and a gunner was killed. The
| ships in the harbor were transformed
into hospitals. The cabins of the
steamer Port Kingston were full of
| dead and dying.
Englishmen In Peril.
Sir James Ferguson, noted English
man, was killed. The most distinguished
| visitors at Kingston were members OF
a party of English statesmen, agricul-
tural experts and men of affairs, who
under the leadership of Sir Alfred
Jones had arrived in Kingston within
the last few days to attend an agri-
| cultural conference there.
Noted Hotel Wrecked.
The Myrtle Bank Hotel, the princi-
pal hotel at Kingston, which probably
| sheltered the great bulk of visitors on
the island, is reported destroyed. The
great military hospital was burned and
forty soldiers are reported dead.
The city is II of low-lying build
ings clustered along the shores of one
of the finest and most securely land
locked harbors in the West Indies. The
population, which numbers 10000, is
largely made up of native blacks.
Many steamers carrying tourists to
Jamaica were en- route TO the island
when the earthquake occurred, but 1t
so happens that, according to sched
! ules. none of the ships from New York
or Boston was in Kingston harbor
Monday afternoon.

GRAND SACRED CONCERT
WAS THE CRON/NLNG EVENT
Patriotic Airs Thrilled Veterans and Thousand
Turned Away From Horse Show Building
Concert Never Equalled Here.

Tho sacred concert given at the
Horse Show Building last night was
by great odds the musical feature Of
tho Confederate Reunion, and In many
respects the greatest musical success
In Richmond in years. II 1t has everI
been excelled. A vast audience, num-
bering nearly 5000 people, and includ.
ing many Of tho veterans and the
ladies accompanying them, thoroughly
enjoyed the evening, and were thusi-
astic in their praise OF tho music
Oh every side Were heard such Eex-
plantations as: Grand beyond descrip-
toni" Perfectly nlaGnificent!" "Su-
peril" ''The finest choral singing II
ever heard" and similar expressions
indicative Of tho unanimity OF senti-
ment and criticism. Many Of the Visit
tors personally thanked Conductor
Walter c. Mercer for the delightful
evening he had enabled them to enjoy,
and hundreds Of townspeople person.
ally assured him OF their appreciation.
The work or this great chorus Of
more than six hundred voices, of which
about 200 We're male and the remainder
female, Is truly remarkable when It IS
considered that Mr.. Mercer has had but
two rehearsals before the magnificent
rendition OF last night. He has done
all the work Of training this great
chorus and to him is due the admirably
selected program chosen for last
nights rendition. 1t was a subject
Of general remark that the hymns
chosen were all familiar to the audi
cncc and wore among the most famous
specimens Of hymnody. Classic mum
bers requiring tho highest skill In rem
dition were given with spirit and ef-l
fectiveness, fully bringing out tho
beauty OF tho masterpieces sung. It
was n triumph OF skill that such per-
feet enunciatlon and such magnificent
ensemble work could have been de-
volopod in such q large chorus, With
such brief training SO distinct<w
tho enunciatlon that every word of tho
classic selections and of the hymns
was not only audible, but entirely In
tolligible in any part OF tho house. The.
acoustics Of the big amphithcatro
proved surprisingly good, too.
Crowds Arrive EARLY.
BY G o'clock people began to arrive
at tho Horse Show Building to attend
this concert, scheduled for $3.50, and
nounccd. and, for an hour afterwards,
was crowded with people. 1t truly
seemed that every car was headed Tor

rolled zip and alighted, and tho great
structure quickly swallowed them.
Before the hour announced for the
opening, oil available space was filled,

prnyrr-slaleiEg Man.
Here DR.. Powers paid d tribute to tho
cody women OF the South, who worked
and prayed Tor the soldier, because OF
the immoyable conviction that the sol
dier was doing G DDS service. He@next
paid a tribute to the character Of G en-
cral Leo and tho sterling religious life
OF StoneWall I Jaclkson ,sswlon he styled
i"thc pray err making man OF his corps,'
There prevails in some quarters,
said DR.. Powers, IAN idea that a CONF
lnander Of soldiers must be rudo of
speech: that it is necessary to be So
to have his men obey him. General
Polk. who lad aside his clerical gown
to fight for tho South, was not of that
opinion. Did any man ever hear of
one of Jacksons men failing to go
where jackson told him to go? And
yet never in all his life did ia word OF
profanity come from the j lpse Of Stone
wall jackson. What lis more, there
was not a man in his army who would
use an oath in his presence Tho
valor Of tho Southern soldier was due
to his Christian character and the loiety,
of his leaders"
In conclusion. DR.. Powers spoke elo-
quently of the custom Of the South in
celebrating memorial days, and beau
tifuly he pictured the last days Of the
veteran, as he ncars the river to join
his departed comrades on the other
shore.
who knows said he, "but that Lee
and jackson and Stuart ana Polk, and
all those who, have gone before us, are
looking down upon us now, ana re-
joicing in the deods Of brave men, and
are watching the aged veterans rs thoy
march to the Holy City, waiting to
4 welcome them whom they cross over
the river to rest under. the Shade OF
tho trees"
There was, of course. no applause
when this eloquent sermon and tribute
to the Southern Christian soldier was
| closed, but It was difficult for tho yet-
| Grams to refrain from showing 1hair
appreciation in that manner. Tho ser
vico was closed with the singing of
