groes. and a loss 10y shock and FIRE OF
100000 on private buildings alone
The loss on Government buildings was
$?50,000, and on church property $780,
600. II was estimated that the value OF
the contents OF the buildings destroyed
would make the loss at least 500. OOO, 900
The British Government made loan OF
$4,000. 900 to the Colonial Government for
rebuilding and gave the sufferers $780,
900 for general relief.
As result OF the general destruction,
the building laws were changed 10 re-
quire more substantial structures and

lief work following the disaster was n
note from Gov. Swettenham OF Jamaica
TO Rear Admiral Davis. who had hurried
an American squadron TO Kingston for
relief work. and landed marines TO help
patrol the city. Gov. Swettenham notified
Rear Admiral Davis that his assistance
wasn't required. The British Govern

TO EXTEND THE WATER MAIN?

The City Council at the regular
meeting Monday evening voted to
have the water main on the Boule-
ward extended instead of on South
Muldrow street. Mr.. Witherspoon
said a number of the Councilmen had
looked over the ground and the Boul-
evard extension would serve the pur-
pose and save the City $50 year. He
moved that the Mexico Power Co.
put in a Pinch service pipe at their
own expense. If this proposition is
not accepted by the Company the
Council will force them to make the
Muldrow street extension in accord
ance with resolution passed some
time ago.
A petition for the Muldrow street
extension was filed. 1t was signed

grets the closing down very much
and will reopen just as soon as he

London, Sept. 80.
The correspondent of the Post at
Antwerp, telegraphing regarding the
attack on the outer forts there, says:
"The bombardment of our outer
forts, which developed Tuesday, had
lamentable result at Duffel, ten
miles south of Antwerp, where a
crowd Of refugees were at the station
awaiting a train in which to leave the
shell area. Twenty German shells fell
into the station and the crowd of ref
ugees, men, women and children, were
almost annihilated.
"The position now shows clearly that
the Germans contemplate heavy ar

a means to extort from the govern

THE GERMANS ARE FLEEING?
LONDON, Sept. 80.


Latest unofficial reports say the
German right wing has broken and is
fleeing. The Germans who passed
Verdun have been pushed back, it is
said, and report from Nancy says
the Crown Prince of Bavaria is a
French prisoner of war. This news
cheered England as no other news
since the beginning of the war. If this
account Of the disaster is true it
means Germany's almost immediate
withdrawal from France.
It is said all of the motor cars in
Northern France have been requisi-
toned for the purpose Of pursuing the
Germans. Armored motor cars with
mitrailleuses are also being used to
pursue the fleeing Germans. 1t is Of
ficially stated that Peronne has been
