was the strongest presumptive, if not
direct, evidence that Mr. I-acroix, and
not another, had dropped the ticket,
and therefore that lie had come home,
f imagined him traveling from London
Bridge to Croydon to pay, perhaps, hia
daughter's school bill, and returning a
different way, although lie had taken a
return ticket to London Bridge.
This
struck me as agreeing with all I had
heard of Mr. Lacroix— careless of
money, and without much steady con-
stetent purpose. How easily such a
man must have become subject to the
resolute Steinhardt!
It occurred to me that it would not

croix had called on her. With a few
questions as to the si/.e, situation and
character of the school, I learned the
name and address of the school mis
tress; and as soon as I returned to my
lodgings I wrote to her. On the second
morning after I received her reply,
which I treasured along with the rail
way ticket as invaluable evidence— a
polite note, presenting compliments
and begging to inform that on referring
to her books and her diary, she found
that Mr. Lacriox had called and paid a

Ixmdon, May 13. — A dispatch to the
Time* from St. Thomas, D. W. I., says
that St. Pierre was destroyed in the
twinkling of an eye, and that not 40 of
the inhabitants of the city escaped.
Some of the outlying parishes of the
Island of Martinique have been inun

of the island is burning, ami has been
denuded of vegetation, ami is a rocky
wilderness. The latest news received
here from St. Vincent, continues the
correspondent, says the numlter of dead
there is supposed to reach 500, the ma
jority of whom have not boon buried.
It is reported that Fort de F ranee,
Island of Marinique, is threatened, con
cludes the correspondent, and there is
frightful tension everywhere.
Successful attempts have been made
to reach St. Pierre. Cabling from St.
Lucia, the correspondent of the Daily
Mail says the town is a heap of ruins
and dead bodies are lying all around.
Few ever will Ire recognized, so great is
the mutilation ami distortion.

Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico Admitted

Washington, May 2.— The house
resuine»l consideration of the omnibus
statehood bill immediately after the
reading of the journal. The pending
amendment was that of Mr. Overstreet,
of Indinaa, to consolidate New Mexico
and Arizona and submit them as the
state of Montezuma, or such other
name as the »-onstitutional convention
should elt*;t. The opposition to the
bill had united upon this amendment
and had »ietermine«! to make a strong
effort to adopt it.
Overstreet made a
vigorous speech, arguing that its pur
pose was to benefit the people of the
two territories, but the amendment
was defeateil by a vote of 28 to 106.
A tew verbal amendments offered by
the committee were adopted, and the
bill »ca th en passed without division.
The bill as passed provides enabling
acts for Oklahoma, Arizona and New
Mexico, similar in form to former
enabling acts, with the exception that
the constitutional convention of New
Mexico is empowered to designate the
name by which the new state shell
enter the Union and in the case of Ok
lahoma the convention by irrevocable
ordinance shall express the consent of
that state that congress at r.ny future
time may attach all or any part of

acts differ from one another chiefly in
