KINGSTON EARTHQUAKE.
One Thousand Killed and Ninety Thou.
sand Homeless.

st. Thomas, d. w. Reports re-
ceived here from Jamaica say it is es-
timated that 1000 persons have been
killed by the earthquake and fire and
that 10000 persons are homeless. Ad-
vices received from Jamaica declare
that all people have been warned to
keep away from Kingston. The stencil
is described as awful. Money is use
less. The banks have been burned,
but the vaults are supposed to be safe.
The misery on all sides is indescrib-
able. Rich and poor alike are home
less. Provisions of all kinds are urg-
entity needed. 1t is impossible to say
where anybody can be found. The
dead are being buried under smould
ering ruins.
The mercantile community suffered
most severely, warehouses falling on
them. Many professional men are dead
or injured. The negroes are looting.
CHASTITY scenes are being witnessed.
All the shops have been destroyed and
all the buildings in and around Kings
ton are in ruins. Few Of them are
safe to live in.
1t is reported that an extinct vol
cano in the parish of Portland is
showing signs of activity. but this has
not been verified. No news has yet
been received from other parts Of the
Island Of Jamaica, communication be-
ing difficult. The damage to Kingston
alone is placed at fully $10.000.0O0.

San Francisco Insurance Decision.

San Francisco.-An important de-
cision affecting the Interpretation of
the earthquake clause in insurance
policies was rendered Tuesday in the
United States Circuit Court by Judge
Whitson, in which he sustained an OBJ
lection made against the introduction

STOCKS AND BONDS.

Richmond investors wero moderately
we'll pleased with the behavior Of the New
York stock market yesterday, but none
of them were particularly enthusiastic.
They have not yet persuaded themselves
that things have settled down, and they
are constantly looking for some more OF
the irregularity that has kept Investors
In securities all over the country in a
.harasscd State Of mind for several weeks
past.
The New York market opened n little
weaker than it closed Monday night. and
then all day there were advances. fol-
lowed by reactions in rapid succession,
but on the whole the tone showed decid-
cd strength. 1t was noted with consld-
cradle pleasure by the bulls that the
market grew dull on declines, whereas
on rallies the tendency was for deal
ings to increase, and this WAS considered
a good sign. The money market showed
increasing ease call money In the curly
afternoon lending at below three per
cent, and altogether sentiment con-
tinucd very hopeful. In the last half
hour fresh outburst Of buying carried
the whole market upward. and it closed
strong, viii, most stocks at the best
prices OF the day. Very positive state
,ncnts were made that the directors OF
the Atchison at the meeting to-day
would declare SIX per cent. This stock.

wired Richmond concern In regard to
the general situation in New York as
follows:
'fhe favorable feature Of the situation
Is the increase OF activity and strength
In the bond morkct. This indicates that

and we believe that before autumn gem
Eeral business will have contracted SUI

even then. We do not look for any big
bull market, but VIC do believe that
prices will hold steady around the pres
5cnt level. and possibly rally further be-
fore becoming dull"
Another contern, which had been asked
for an explanation of the strong market
replied: The selling seemed to be mere
~ natural profit-taking caused by the
rapid advance OF the last few days. The
announcement Of large engagement OF
