when the formal election Of F. w. Null
key for the short term and Jonathan

first time was selected by acclamation

gcant at arms. Both were elected by

GAS FRANCHISE
ON FIRST READING
wifi Be Again Considered Mon
day Evening

Yesterday afternoon the city fathers
held a meeting persuant to the adj
iournment of the previous day. A
Communication was received from Re-
presentative Fallon containing a copy
If bill to amend the sewer law, for
approval Of the board. The princips |
features Of the bill we're the sections
which allow any assessments to be paid
without interest or charge if paid
within 60 days after the passing Of
the act. This bill, if passed, will,
also legalize all acts heretofore done
in the matter Of assessment. The
reason for this bill being introduced
IS that the old law makes no provis.
ions for assessments unless interest is
charged.
The gas franchise Of Price and his
associates was introduced by the ord
nance committee and read. 1t was
then read the first time for passage.
e. H. Potts, attorney for the parties
who made application for gas fran
ehlse Tuesday, was present and pre-
vious to the reading of the ordinance
allowing Price the franchise, asked
that the reading be deferred until the
franchise asked for by John Carr and
his associates be considered. Owing
to the fact that the Price franchise
had been under consideration for the
past three months, his request was not
granted. The meeting adjourned un-
til Monday evening when the regular
monthly meeting will be held.

CITY MAY SINK
INTO THE SEA
Ocean Is Gradually EnguIfing
Stricken City

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. IL. -
Thousands Of persons we're killed in
the earthquake and the dead bodies
are being taken from the debris by
hundreds. The whole town Is in
ruins and the greater portion is still
smoldering ashes. The smell of burnt
flesh prevades the air. The cable line
from Kingston is broken and the cor
respondent had to go to Holland bay,
40 miles to. the east to file this mes
sage.
The earthquake came as a sudden
oscillation, not from any particular
direction, but up and down.
Thousands Of persons were ON the
streets of Kingston at the time and
great numbers of them were crushed.
Many Americans in Kingston were
killed and have been buried.
Realizing the possibility of famine
the people made attempts to loot.
The military, however, took posses
sion of the food stuffs. Detstchments
of troops with fixed bayonets were
placed on guard. They were concen-
trated on a central position. No one
is allowed TO pass through the ruined
sections.
Kingston is threatened with fail
ure of the water supply, owing to the
bursting Of reservoir.
A new horror is added TO the situa
Iion by reports that the city seems
slowly to be sinking into the sea- The
center of the bottom of the harbof has
materially changed and two light
houses at the harbor entrance are said
to have disappeared.
The ships in the harbor are or Jwded
With injured people, and the death
list is being increased daily. Corpses
lie in the streets or are being thrown
into trenches.
The plumber Of dead is 3 laced var
iously 81 from 500 20 1900, and the
number of injured runs into the thons
ands. Ten thousand people are said
to be homeless. The danger Of famine
has increased and with IL stalks the
specter OF pestilence. There Is urg-
emit need Of supplies Of all kinds aud
energetic efforts are being made 10

aid.
The business section Of the city
has been wiped out and the estimats
Of the damage range from s1O. 900. ?

His Attire.
Yesterday a man was seen pass
ing down the street carrying a lasso
and wearing around his waist a belt
in which was thrust revolver of huge
proportions and a fierce looking
knife. A SLOUGH hat with the brim
pulled down successfully hid the
identity of the person from a distance.
He walked with determined air and
from appearance, it could be easily
seen that there was murder in, his
heart. People avoided him by taking
the opposite side of the street. At
last one individual, who figures large
~ in educational matters in the city,
summoned up courage and walked up
to the man, and was surprised to find
one of the ministers of the city on his
way to slaughter a calf.
