They were all landed at the site of the destroyed cured, and together with other treascity since Thursday mornings catas- ure have been brought to Fort de trophe. The streets and all the neighborhood around what a few days ago was the largest and most prosperous city in Martinique were found Incumbered wth heaps upon heaps of dead bodies in all directions. All the dead seen were stark' naked, their clothing apparently having burned from their bodies like so much tinder, while they themselves were roasted to death. In the vast majority of instances fires seem to have beam. the sole cause of death. Great numbers of the bodies have been burst asunder by the terrific heat and lie disemboweled. In many instances the faces of the victims are quite calm, as though they were stricken down instantly where they stood, without a moments warn-- , ing or with hardly, time to appreciate for an instant the deadly peril they were id. Others have stamped on their faces an expression of Indescribable terror. The entire city and the nelghbor--' hood all about reeks with a horrible odor of burned flesh. In one instance an entirely family of nine persons was found, all tightly locked in each others' arms' and the bodies in a horrible state of decomposition. AlmoBt.the first thing done was to Thake preparations for the cremation of the dead. Fatigue parties of soldiers built enormous pyres of wood and branches of trees upon which they heaped the dead bodies by scores and burned them as rapidly as possible. The total number of dead is now estimated at fully 30,000. The disaster itself took place within thirty seconds, and in that half minute the vast majority of all these people were killed. It is supposed, for there is nobody living apparently to tell the exact facts, that there was suddenly shot down from the mountain a great sheet of flame, accompanied by a terrible gaseous whirlwind and flashes of lightning, precisely such as are reported as playing about the summit of La Soufrlere, on the Island of St. Vin-.ceWhat horrible revelations of the havoc wrought to human life which these grim mounds are yet to reveal can hardly be imagined. In these two quarters of the city not a trace of the streets that existed there can be seen. They are buried as completely out of sight as were those of Pompeii. Along the water front there are a few walls standing and the ruins of were found. the custom-hous- e Curiously enough, the face and hands of the clock on the hospital were not destroyed, and they furnish an important record In the history of this terrible catastrophe. The hands of the clock had stopped at precisely ten minutes to 8, showing that it was at that moment that the city was overwhelmed and all these thousands of people within it, and in its environs, were destroyed. France. As much help as possible has been sent to the surviving people in the vicinity of the city. Steamers loaded with men, women and children from districts in the neighborhood of St Pierre are constantly here. Steamers also are going back as rapidly as possible to the scene of the disaster, carrying with them provisions and clothing. The 450 people brought here by the cable ship Pouyer Quertier were from the neighborhood of jthe village of Le Precheur. They were entirely without shelter when found, but none of them was burned. Every ship In the harbor at the time of the disaster, with the single exception of the English steamer Roddam, was burned with all on board lost, excepting one captain, who was saved. In relating his escape he says that the onlv way in which he managed to save life was by repeatedly diving. He was an expert swimmer and was able to remain under water for a considerable length of time. He returned again and again to the surface, barely exposing his face for a moment or two to the terrific heat and thus getting enough breath for another long dive. Ever since the 23d of April last the volcano Mont Pelee, which finally wrought all the havoc, has been man! testing disquieting symptoms. A great column of smoke kept mounting from it, and there were from time to time showers of ashes and cinders falling. Finally, on the 5th of May, there was a terrific eruption, which hurled into the air vast volumes of mud, which completely swallowed up the Guerin sugar factory, which stood near the River Blanche. The first that was known here at Fort de France of the disaster was at 8 oclock in the morning of the 8th day of May. At that hour there suddenly spread over the town of Fort de France a thick cloud of smoke, cinders and ashes, which came from the direction of St Pierre. The cloud swept over the city with terrifying swiftness, turning bright daylight into the darkness of night, with hardly a moments warning. From this cloud a rain of rocks poured upon the town and threw the entire population into the wildest panic. The sea suddenly swept back in a great wave for a distance of between fifty and sixty feet and vessels fastened to the wharves were set crashing against each other with great force. Twice the great wave swept in and out from the shore, and finally the waters settled down to their normal level. As quickly as possible in the confusion the government authorities and the mayor of the city, realizing what need there was, began to organize some system for carrying help to those known to be in dire distress.

UPON HIM Romance of the Fee rage of th United Kingdom. The succession of the new Earl of Stamford recalls one of the most recent romances of the peerage. How far away he was removed from the direct line is shown by the fact that, whereas he Is the ninth earl, his father, the Rev. William Grey, was the of the fourth earl. The last Lord Stamford was an eccentric character, who never took his seat at Westminster, but lived for forty years in South Africa, where he married a Zulu belle and became practically a Zulu himself. At his death the opponents of the hereditary house were pleased at the prospect of a half-castwoolly headed peer presenting himself to the Lord Chancellor, but the committee of privilege found the rightful heir in William Grey, a native of Newfoundland, and professor of classics and philosophy in Codrington college Barbadoes. The present Lord Stamford Is best known for Us religious and philanthropic activities. He belongs to the e, X v VOLCANIC PEAKS NEAR ST, LUCIA, 36,-00- In Match, 1S39, the great storm to the harbor of Apia, Samoa, electrified the world with its appalling loss ol life. The German gunboats Olga, Eber and Adler, and the United Statesmen-of-wa- r Nipsic, Tienton and Vandalia went to pieces on the reefs, and fifteen merchant vessels either went to the bottom or stranded. One hundred and forty-twmen from the warships in the harbor were lest. Japan has proven itself a veritable home of earthquakes, the latest gigantic loss of life occurring in 1891, and resulted in a loss of 4,000 lives, 5,000 injured, and 50,000 homes destroyed. The great Johnstown flood was the first of two great disasters in recent years which has come home to the people of the United States with crushing force. On May 29, 18S9, by the bursting of the dam of the Conemaugh river, Johnstown and surrounding tow-nwere swept out of existence, and a loss of life approximating 10,000 souls took place in the twinkling of an eye. The calamity which befell Galveston on the 8th of September, 1900, ranks with Johnstown as the most appalling within the memory of present generations. Beginning with a storm of moderate proportions, the increasing wind rolled the waves higher and higher upon the beach, until, after a sudden shift of winds near nightfall, the island city was completely submerged, and great waves from the sea rolled over the town site. It w as a night ol the most terrible suffering and misery, in which nearly 50,000 souls In and near Galveston expected every moment to die. Between 8,000 and 10,000 people lost their lives in the storm, and millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed. The visitation of fire from neighboring volcanoes has wrought a destruction of life and property upon St Pierre which is yet to be definitely determined, but promises to be one of the greatest in the worlds history. The islands off the Chink coast, and the Malay Hortas, being of volcanic origin, have been especially subject to earthquakes. It used to be said of the Philippines that shocks were constant there, and it is true that the needle in the seismograph in the Jesuit observatory in Manila is always writing. But there has been no extremely disastrous disturbances, and none serious since 1884, when the tower of the great cathedral was thrown down and many lives were lost. explosion in a coal mine.

The latest reports from Goliad.Texas, state that ninety-eigpersons were killed and 103 injured by the tornado which passed over that city Sunday afternoon. The property loss in tbe city ond surrounding country will probably reach $200,000. The storm swept tbe city from end to end and demolished 150 stores and residences. The tornado, which was preceded by a terrific downpour of hail, lasted only a few minutes. The bailbtoues drove the people into their houses, wher they were caught when the death-deing wind came upon them with terrific force, leveling everything in its path. DThu tornado swept an area 250 yards wide for a distance of a mile and a half. Houses collapsed as if Juilt of cardboard, covering the dead and injured with debris, which necessarily made the work of rescue slow. Ninety-Eig- ht ht al DEAD AT ST. PIERRE.

The corespondent of the London Daily Chronicle at Budapest reports the frustration of a plot against tbe life of Emperor Francis Joseph. The Emperor was recently going on anight train from Vienna to Budapest. In the final inspection of the imperial train at the terminus of the state rail road at Vienna, made ten minutes before his majesty's arrival there, a bomb covered with paper was found in the emperors compartment. It was calculated that this bomb would explode the moment his majesty entered the car. An investigation of the matter led to the dismissal of several railroad employees. d great-grandso- n kll the towns entire Resides denndiug the tir foliage, traction company baa I Earthquake!, Flood and Battles That Have Slain Their Thotuanda. This is the third time the island of Martinique has suffered disasters of volcanic origin. In 1767 there was a great earthquake which cost the lives of more than 1,600 persons. That was the greatest disaster in the history of the island previous to this now reported. There was an earthquake in 1839 which destroyed nearly half of Port Royal, the present capital of the isThe land, and killed 700 persons. damage resulting from that shock extended all over the island. Historys pages are full of disasters which have befallen the human race, but no calamity of its kind in recent years can even approximate the terrible loss of life which has made notable the destruction of St. Pierre on the island of Martinique. Of events which have shocked the world by the enormity of the destruction which followed in their wake, none but tlje battle of Gettysburg can approach the recent disaster for loss of life. Instances where whole towns and communities have been wiped out are comparatively few, but all have been terrific in their consequences. St. Pierre has been no exception. Among the calamities which are most notable, the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneuin in the year 79 stands as the most ancient of which there is a complete account extant Strangely enough, the destruction of these cities is the nearest approach in history to the disaster which befell St. Pierre. The work of the Vesuvius on this occasion was as slow Herculaneum as it was complete. was literally swept froip the earth by a stream of molten lava, while Pompeii wa3 suffocated by the cinders and ashes. The eruption lasted for days and covered the two cities to a depth of from eighteen to twenty feet, and so changed the topography of the country that it was centuries before topographers were able to locate the lost cities. The loss of life on thi3 occasion was never known, but it must have reached far into the thousands. Not until 1755 was the world again shocked by a catastrophe of similar proportions, although there were many throughout Italy, Sicily, South America and the Orient where the loss of life has been estimated at much higher figures, which were impossible of verification. The great earthquake and tidal wave of Lisbon in 1755 was one of the most and destructive phenomena of nature which has come down in history. It was a festal day in the city and all Portugal was- - there. Late in the afternoon a giant wave swept over the doomed city, and in eight minutes, when the wave had receded, it carried with-i- t 50,000 people into the sea. The survivors crowded the stone wharves along the water front, many only to be carried away by the tremendous swell which followed the movement of the first gigantic mass of water. The disturbance reached the shores of Spain, Morocco, Madeira, and many other islands in the archipelago, carrying death and destruction with it wherever it went. The shock of the earthquake was felt over a territory 5,000 miles long. A Recent iinbera of his tribe 41 THE WORLDS GREATEST DISASTERS HIGH POSITION THRUST fjrjcustody for such Vr ar-riv- became instantly alive with activity. It was made ready for sea' as quickly as possible and started away at full speed up along the coast in the direction of St Pierre and the great column of smoke and fire. There were several boats that had arrived at Fort de France that same morning, and they, too, made instant preparations to return. Troops and provisions were hurried aboard of them, and they started away in the wake of the Suchet. They had not been gone over two hours when they returned, bringing back the tidings that St. Pierre was utterly destroyed and that the entire seashore from the suburb of Le Corbet as far as the Village of Le Precheur was on fire, and that it was impossible to land at any point on account of the intense heat. Along the shore the spectacle was appalling. It looked as though the whole of the northern part of the island was one mass of flame. The cruiser Suchet got back to Fort de France some time after the other boats which had followed in the effort to reach the scene of the disaster. On board the Suchet were thirty survivors, who were picked up in the St Pierre suburb of Le Corbet All of them were frightfully 'burned and wounded, and nine of them died on board the cruiser before it reached this port Every preparation has been made in the hospital at Fort de France to take care of as many wounded as possible. The work of rendering aid has been put on an organized basis, provisions have been requisitioned and the principal stores, banks, and even the bakeries, are guarded by soldiers. About the beginning of the seventeenth century Central America was visited by an earthquake which killed 40,000 people, scattered over a wide territory. Naples at the same time began to feel a series of earthquake shocks which continued intermittently for seventy-fiv- e years and eventually amassed a total of 111,000 people slain. Not until the battle of Gettysburg was reached, however, has such a tremendous list of casualties occurred in such a limited space of time and territory as at St Pierre. In the three days fighting before Gettysburg, in July, 1863, the Union los was 23,190, of whom 2,384 were killed and 13,713 wounded. The Confederate loss for the same engagement has never been officially stated, but was approximate-e- d 36,000, of whom 5,000 were killed and 23,000 wounded. By far the worst of recent seismic shocks, however, occurred in the region of the Malay archipelago in 1883. It accompanied the explosive eruptions of the volcano Krakatoa, on the island of the same name, in the strait of Sunda, between Java and Sumatra. The eruption, which began in May, continued for nearly four months. Nearly the entire island was destroyed. The wonderful phenomena which followed this disturbance are still well remembered. The ashes and dust were thrown so high as to mark the upper air currents and be carried completely around the globe, producing a peculiar effect in the air, like a twilight glow, that continued for many months. The sound of the explosions of old Krakatoa was heard at a distance of 2,250 miles, and it was estimated that the air waves traveled four and a half 0 times around the earth. Between and 37,000 lives were lost, and 160 villages were destroyed. Two years later the first earthquake imin the United States of world-wid- e portance occurred in Charleston. On the night of August 31 an earthquake shock was felt along the entire Atlantic coast of the United tSates, and several hundred miles Into the interior especially in the southern states. Before morning it was known that Charleston had suffered an unusual visitation, and when the final news was known it was found that forty-on- e lives had been lost in the falling walls of the city and property to the amount of 95,000,000 had been destroyed, Yost Is Beaten by Dubois.

School Building Unroofed by Windstorm and Pupils Have Narrow Escape. fierce windstorm, coming from the southwest, passed over St. Joseph, Mo., Monday afternoon, wrecking the roof of tbe Garfield school building, razing many small outhouses and doing much damage. At the Garfield school, which Is located in the fashionable residence section of the city, 200 n children escaped as if by a miracle and ran out uninjured into the rain, which attained almost the proportions of a x cloudburst.
