MOUNT PELEE AGAIN SPOUTS DESTRUCTION, ADDING TWO HUNDRED MORE DEATHS 10 THE LIST. Terrible Eruption Destroyed the Village of Morne Rogue and Caused Tidal Wave to Sweep Over LeCarbet A Big Strike in Florence Italy. Castries, island of bt. .Lucia, B. W. I., Sept. i. The British steam er Korona arrived here yesterday evening from Fort de France, Isl and of Martinique. She reports that a terrible eruption of Mount Pelee occurred at 9 o click Satur day, and people who arrived at Fort de France from the.- northern part of the island reported that the village of Morne Rogue, near the district previously devastated, had been entirely destroyed, and that LeCarbet, a village on the coast which was destroyed at the time of the great eruption, had been swept by a tidal wave, and about 200 persons lost tbeir lives. A sloop from the island of St. Vincent, which reached here this morning, reports that Mount Pe - lee's crater is now quiet, but the detonations Saturday night were the loudest heard up to that time, and the inhabitants are terribly a larmed. Basse Terre, St. Kitts, B. W. I., Aug. 3I. A series of loud reports were beard last night from 7 until 9 o'clock. Foint A Pietre, Island of Guade loupe, Aug. 31. This entire port has been covered with a cloud of fine dust since five o'clock this morning and the populace is panic stricken; Fine ashes are falling continuously in a slight drizzle. Semi-darkness is over the- sea and the ships in the harbor seem to be enveloped in a cloud of smoke. Advices from .Basse Terre (Isl and of Guadeloupe) assert that since daybreak today the entire island . has been covered with a cloud of dust coming from the soutbeast, the direction of the Isl and of Martinique. The popula tion of Basse lerxe is greatly a larmed. Roseau, Dominica, Aug. 30. A thick mist has enveloped Roseau and its neighborhood and dust is falling today. The thick mist which e.iveloped EoBeau yesterday was taken as it approached for a rainstorm. The dust is still falling, although light ly, but during the night of the 30th the quantity of dust which fell here was greater than on any pre vious occasion; It is impossible to approach the ruined town of St. Pierre from the sea. The people of the village of LeCarbet, on the coast, are terror stricken and fleeing to the interior. Hot water is pouring down on Lor raine and Basse Pointe, villages to the Northeast of the crater. Hor rible detonations were heard, the ground rocked and quaked and ar ticles on tables were thrown to the floor. The governor of Martinique has ordered every available boat to re move the people from the coast vil lages to Fort de France. At 8 o'clock ia the evening of Saturday, the 30th, the sky was cloudless. Suddenly and without warning, one-half of the horizon was obscured by a pitch black cloud of dust. This cloud was a magnificent electrical effect, the flashes of light surpassing the most j elaborate fireworks. Flames and flashes continued to burst from the cloud until nearly midnight. Col umns of flames shot out of the crater of Mount Pelee to explode about the cloud in showers of balls of golden fire which fell through the darkness in myriads of sparks. A tidal wave rushed upon Fort de France and the terrified inhabitants fled in large numbers to the interior. The wave was not severe and did but slight damage. At midnight of the 30th inst. Mount Pelee was quiet. Shortly after this hour there came another shower of ashes, ac companied by vivid sheet lightning. In addition to the. 200 persons reported to have lost their lives at LeCarbet and Mourne Rouge, many other persons are said to have been killed all over the northern districts of the islands. . . ' , ; : Florence, Italy., Aug 31. It is estimated that 40,000 men in Flor ence are idle. The employes of 40 different callings have joined the etrike that began last Friday. The town appears to be in a state of 6iege. Troops haVe been recalled from the maneuvers and from camp and every square ia the city is oc cupied by a company of soldiers. Sixteen troops, in addition to a number of policemen and carbla eers, have been concentrated in the city. Plenty of other soldiers are available should order be disturbed. The summer ' excursionists' have left the town partly empty, and a number of others have left. Owing to the cutting of gas pipes by the mob certain portions of Florence are now lighted with torches. The populace condemns the strike as out of a'l proportion to the questions involved. The muni cipal newspapers have ceased to appear, as a result of the strike. Workmen repairing the belfry of the Eng'lish church refused to join the strikers and they threw petroleum over the fence surrounding the building . and set it on fire. The flames were extinguished before serious damage resulted. Numerous arrests have been made, and the jails are filled to overflowing. The government, which, accord ing to its democratic programme, has allowed the strikers complete liberty so long as order was main tained, has assumed a most ener getic attitude since the strikers forced willing workmen to remain idle, and committed acts of van dalism. All meetings of persons have been forbidden, and hundreds of suspected persons have been ar rested. What is most feared in Florence is that the strike contagion may spread to Milan, Genoa and other industrial centers. continued from page one ing ditched, Many lives were probably saved by his prompt ac tion. Officers along the line were im mediately notified, but as yet no clew to the miscreants has been unearthed. The motive for the crime cannot be accounted for, as the express and mail were on the hrst section. Atlantic City, Aug 23 Condol ences are being received by Mrs A E Booth of Baltimore, oh the loss of a diamond necklace worth $2,4ooo, the gift of her husband, General E A Booth, head of the packing company of that name: She is Ftaying at the hotel Chelsea, and is chaperoning Miss Alys De Bonr, daughter of an 8rtisr, and Miss Nalthie Silbi. She gave a little dinner for them a few nights ago. It was on a tour of the board walk and its resorts that the necklace disappeared. William Knab?, a piano manu facturer, George Miller and J Harry Gardner, a New York brok er, were of the dinner party and among the dozen or more that vis ited ib.3 grounds afterwards. The case has not been reported lo the police and the loss has not been adqertised. Mr Knabe lost his hat and cane the same night after ask ing the dark boat to a - trip in "Ye old Mill." ; A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAYED. At Panama, Colombia, by Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Dirrboea Remedy. Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent physician, of Panama, Colombia in a recent letter states: "Last March I had as a . patient a young lady 16 years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Ev erything I prescribed for her prov ed ineffectual and she was growin worse every hour. Her parent were sure she would die. She hat become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but I thought of Chamber lain 8 Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribe ed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling much better; inside of three days she was upon her feet and at the end of one week was en tirely well.

The number of women, especially in the upper circles of the east, who have taken to equestrianism is increas ing very rapidly. It has been noted as a somewhat singular fact that the average woman becomes a more pro ficient rider than the average man, for she has n.aturally lighter hands and is so enabled to obtain more satisfactory results. Riding, like all other exer cises that require both grace and skill is more easily learned while young, and this aptitude of the youngsters has been a source of mortification to many of their elders who could not grasp the knack of riding so easily. How ever, but few women who once begin to learn to ride ever give it up either from distaste or inability to master the difficulties of learning. Generally worn en are very courageous riders, and it it a fact that a well-bred horse never lacks courage when a woman is on his back. Stout women experience the great est aimculty in learning to ride, end seldom become graceful or competent riaers. jno stout woman should at tempt to ride at other gaits than the walk or canter, and' it is at this latter gait that all women look their best. Beginners, as a rule, are always nerv ous and haunted bv a fear of falling?. and even the more experienced riders do not seem to enjoj' riding a horse that rears, and, in fact, this is quite me worst lault a horse can have.

Count Alraerico, a scientist of un questioned standing, sends an extraor dinary story of a natural phenomenon from Pavia. He reports that in the district of Cervarese. near Padua and Vicenza, there occurred last August a simple but most strange earth con vulsion. It began about the 3d and lasted until the 23d of the month and was seen by laborers working in that part of. the district known as "Ttaver so del sabion." Here and there clods of earth, propelled by some unseen force, jumped up into the air to a height of from six to ten feet in the form of a -parabola, falling again on the ground three or four yards away. This phenomenon was most fre quent during the hottest hours of the day", from nine till four o'clock, and occurred about every ten minutes, in various places simultaneously1. It ceased upon the advent of cold rains. The clods had an ordinary appear ance. One which was taken away for examination weighed about four pounds and was almost circular in shape.

The Baddbtz submarine boat has bees given another trial in the bay at Milwaukee, Wis., and madie a success ful trip. This boat, the invention of an Oshkosh man, has been considerably improved since it was last described in the newspapers. It is now operated bj storage batteries instead of chemical electricity. The trip was made while the lake was rough, but it did not af fect the boat in the least. Clarence J Allen and Mr. Baddatz were on board and Benjamin T. Leuzarder and a party of interested' friends were in a boat on the surface watching carefully the movements of the submarine craft A run was madfe from the Yacht clut house into the bay a distance of several miles,- and' this was covered' at th"e rate of lour miles an hour.
