Committees MAJORTTYS
REPORT,

THE undersigned, Majority of the Com
~ mittee, is of the opinion that to fully
carry out the object and intention of the
Draft of Ordinance rs presented by the
Municipal Committee, is that two independ-
emit physicians be appointed to Frederiksted's
Jurisdiction.
That we consider, that viewing the petit
ton of the one Hundred and eighty nine
signers Of burghers, estate owners, house
owners and other residents in this part of
the Island, it is entitled to consideration.
That it is self evident that two men work
ing in this district can, with the support pro-
posed by Government, be able to obtain q
competent living, If they apply themselves
toward acquiring that living.
We feel that the proposal of an assistant,
as proposed by the Minority report, is not a
step in the right direction, for the assistant
will be absolutely controlled by the incum-
bent physician, aud such a proposal is quite
unacceptable to a large majority, if any, Of
the petitioners.
We cannot but remark that the residents
of Christiansted have never been subjected
to the position of being without 2 doctors.
That they have never felt that if one doctor
fell i'll, there was not another to appeal TO.
That if one Of tie doctors was call, d for a CON
sultatlon at the 0. her end of the Island, they
had been without 4 poctor in case OF acct
dent.
We are therefore firmly Of the opinion, as
before stated, that two doctors can, if they
apply their energies, secure a good living in
this Jurisdiction.

m approve OF the wish 50 OFTEN expressed
u by the inhabitants of Frederik4ted of
having z physicians and l know that all the
doctors who have practiced here in latter
years have considered it necessary that this
wish should be fulfilled, especially as it was
seen during the sickness of the doctors how
difficult 1T Was to procure another physician.
| consider that the public physician
should have completed his hospital training
and be a competent surgeon, and I know
that q physician with these qualifications
cannot be had if his income be- put lower
than at present.
AS this will he the natural consequence
of the proposed appointment of 2 public
physicians especially in consideration of the
inevitable competition, take it as granted
that no fully qualified physician will apply
for the posltioa, ana I cannot see any other
way out Of the difficulty, than appointing an
amanuensis for the public Physician in
FrederIkoted, without having the right
to private practice, and with the obligation Of
acting for all the other physicians by Gov
ernment orders.
In nay opinion he ought to be PROVISIONAL
" appointed for one year and by the Gov
ernment.
| can consequently not recommend the
Draft for adoption; it is my opinion that
the Committee only should that
Government proposed a grant Of 5000 Fir.
Tor an amanuensis and 500 FIR. in travelling
expenses on the budget for 1910-l91l.

on the road to Granard near the turning to

1t appears that Mr.. Adams was in town, aud
his wife, after lighting a lamp, went down to
the road intending to meet him. 1t seems
likely that the lamp exploded, for the
house was shortly afterwards seen by q
neighbour to be on fire, and an alarm was
raised, but it was impossible to do anything,
and the house, furniture &c. were complete
ly destroyed. There was no insurance, and
the unfortunate owner has appealed to his

ALMOST MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Young Lady and Two Little Girls Pin

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton. Oct. Ito be invited out
by young chauffeur friend for an auto
ride, to be caught under the machine
when it turned bottom side up, and
later to be rescued from their perilous
predicament entirely uninjured was the
unusual experience of three girls
of this city Friday evening!
Kenneth, son of Charles E. Smith,
obligingly offered to take Vesta Hicke
thier, aged 4, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. e. Hickethier, Neva Bailey grand
daughter of V. w. Bailey, and Miss
Auld, for ride to Coulter and back.
On the return and when near the
Scantlebury residence, one mile west
of the fair ground, the touring car ran
off the grade and turned turtle.
While the party of young people were
gone a sudden storm Of rain and hail
passed over this vicinity and the tenn
perature was perceptibly lowered. The
girls had not prepared for this. and to
keep themselves warmer IN returning,
they had gotten down ON the floor Of
the tonneau. When the car turned
over 1t lodged with the weight resting
upon the backs of the seats and with
the girls still huddled in the space be-
tween the seats. To this fortunate cir
cumstance is ascribed the fact that
they received not even a scratch.

TIDAL WAVE HORROR.
Thousands Drowned and 1000 Miles o
Coast Territory Devastated.

Thousands Drowned and 900 Miles of
Coast Territory Devastated.
New Orleans, Oct. 11.-Between 1000
and 5000 natives were drowned in the
hurricane that swept the coast Of
Yucatan and the islands off that sec
tion of the Mexican mainland, accord
ing to the captain and crew of the
steamer City of Tampico, which has
reached here.
A great tidal wave swept in from
the Gulf Of Mexico and devastated the
coast for nearly thousand miles
Along this section fishermen and their
families were killed. The wave was
so high that it not only engulfed its
victims as it rushed in, but carried
their bodies and their shattered huts
back into the ocean.
Progresso is about the center of the
devastated, section. which extends for
500 miles on either side.
The storm is the same which swept
the Mississippi and Louisiana coasts
and caused the death of more than 200
persons. This storm, West Indian
hurricane, swept across the gulf ami
broke over the Mexican coast. That
it did great damage to shipping on the
gulf itself is report that has reached
here and it is said that a number of
small schooners were lost.
