Former Disasters In Acapulee-City

Little Acapulco, the Mexican city
with its 5000 Inhabitants which was
entirely destroyed by the recent earth

standing up, gazing out through the
door into the cabin, where Dade still
remained, watching to see that 1 did
not go back to sleep again. Suddenly
there came a tremendous shock which
sent me sprawling forward, and flung
Dade headlong against the wall. AS
struck the deck a thunderous crash
and roar sounded forward; the stern
of the vessel seemed to spring upward
into the air, sliding us both down
against the front of the cabin. In
stantly there followed two mufled re-
ports, accompanied by further up
fitting Of the stern. Everything loose
came tumbling down upon us, and, as
pulled myself to my knees, l found
the oeck slanting upward like the
steep side of a hill.
ooh, Lord, sir, what's beer done?"
We've hit something hard; ice,
likely. Jump, now, and help me get
out the women"
The awful, sickening poise Of the
stricken boat, swinging stern-up to the
motion Of the waves, was enough to
shatter the courage of any man, and
l could read speeches. terror in
Dade's face. Yet the lad stayed
with me, and together we clambered
up the incline of the deck, gripping at
the table to help US. The door of the
after-cabin was either locked or had
become stuck; did not wait to learn
which, but burst it open with swift,
heavy kick. The light streamed in
upon a scene Of chaos-overturned
furniture and broken glass. Celeste

ally; Lady Darlington was upon her
knees, holding herself partially erect
by clasping the brass rail of the bed.

speak. Gather up all the warm cloth.

deck. Here, let me help you!"
We were scarcely minute at the
task; and the four of us, laden with
apparel, slid and scrambled down the
slope of cabin floor to the companion
steps. Here caught Lady Darlington
more closely to me, helping her climb
the inverted stairs. Her face was pale
her eyes fearless.

1t was like night on deck, the en-.
veloping fog so dense that a human
form was indistinguishable five feet
away. Fortunately but little wind
stirred, and the sea had gone down. I

ANNIVERSARY WEEK.

Thirteen years ago this week the Bridgeport Public Market was open ed to the public, and even at that early day 1t created quite a sensation In the city as 1t was a new thing for a large store to confine it's business exclusively to selling food products, employing new methods in displaying goods and selling them at lower prices than the public had ever had them offered at before; and contrary to the productions of lots of the
 wise ones" it was a success from the start, and it did not take the peo- pie of Bridgeport long to recognize its merits They found the new ideas in handling food products pleasing and soon became convinced that they not only could save money but were sure of finding a larger and better assortment to select from, and soon learned to know that when th4 Bridgeport Public Market advertised a special sale on any line of goods that they always lived up to their ad- vertisements. and always gave their patrons good values.
 After gaining the confidence of the public the business began to grow rapidly and soon outgrew the origi- nal store. Several times during the thirteen years they have been com pelled to enlarge the store, and add new lines of goods and improve the methods of handling their rapidly growing business always looking for advanced ideas. and modern meth ods- See daily papers for announce ments.

 It takes Is votes to defeat the veto, and the ordinance must obtain at least this number to prevail.
 In case the ordinance is defeated and the veto sustained it is probable that the matter will go back to com mittee, and that a new ordinance will be reported giving the firemen an in crease of S1OO annually, which would make the pay of the average fireman s1,100 a year.
 The communication sent to the al- dermen refers to the action of the last board of aldermen upon the inA crease and continues:
