NINETY DIE IN STORM
Disastrous Cyclone Devastates
Town of Goliad, Texas.
OTHER SECTIONS FEEL BLOW
Besides the Reported Fatality List,
Over a Hundred Were Injured and
Business Section of Goliad
Is in Ruins.
A special from Goliad, Texas, says:
Ninety are dead, over a hundred
are wounded. In addition there is a
gaping wound in the town —the path
of one of the most destructive torna
does ever known in Texas.
The tornado struck the town about
3:45 o’clock Sunday afternoon, last
ing only about five minutes, leaving
death and disaster everywhere in its
v.ake.
It came from the southeast without
a warning, completely demolishing a
strip about two blocks wide through
out the whole western part of the town
about a mile long.
Among the many house.? demolished
are the Baptist church and parsonage,
just built, the.. Methodist church and a
colored church.
The number of houses destroyed
will probably reach 100. Damage done
cannot be approximated as yet, but it
is very great. About all the human
dead and wounded have been taken
care of.
The path of devastation was strewn
with all kinds of debris and dead and
wounded animals. The pitiful cries of
the wounded was heard everywhere,
and at times was heartrending.
A report from the country around
Goliad is to the effect that no damage
was done. A special train bearing the
O’Connor Guards, six physicians,
nurses and many volunteers came
from Victoria and a special train from
Cuero, bearing physicians, nurses,
druggists and volunteers.
The cyclone is believed to have
originated on the gulf coast at a point
almost directly south of Goliad, and
traveled in a northeasterly direction
as far as Kentucky. It left desolation
behind in four states, but Texas seems
to have suffered more than the others.
At Hi o’clock Sunday night there were
two report.es current concerning the
fate of the Historic town of Goliad.
Both of them were sufficiently dis
tressing. One was that fifty lives ware
lost and much of ,the town destroyed.
The other was that not less than two
hundred persons were killed and that
nearly every structure there was de
molished.
Wild rumors about the fate of Tex
arkana were in circulation for a time,
hut the anxiety on that score was re
lieved by the statement from incoming
train crews that there had been no
damage at Marshall. Texarkana, or in
termedite points. Shreveport. La.,
seems to be cut off from communica
tion with the world.
Damage at San Antonio.
At 12:40 o’clock the storm swept
over San Antonio, damaging property
not less than $50,000, and it may reach
$75,000. No lives are reported lost.
The wind reached a velocity of 72
miles an hour, and continued at that
rate for nearly twenty minutes.
OFFICIALS PLAYED POKER.
Upon Complaint of Farmers Several
Missouri Citizens Are Indicted.
Hairy B. Hawes, president of the
St. Louis board of police commission
ers, Congressman W. W. Itucker, Wil
liam Flynn, of St. l.ouis, and about
thirty ether men. including several
mayors of small Missouri towns and a
judge from the Missouri supreme court
have been indicted by the grand jury
of Chariton county, Missouri, on a
charge of gambling. The specific
charge, it is said, is that the defend
ants played "penny ante" poker.
The gambling is alleged to have oc
curred last summer during a fishing
trip u* Charlton county. Complaint
was made by some farmers who said
they the game in progress.
STAMPEDE TO GOLD FIELD.
Over Six Thousand Prospectors Rush
Upon New Eldorado in Utah.
A special from Salt Lake City. Utah,
says: An army of 6,500 prospectors
from almost every state in the union
has begun the rush into Thunder
mountain, the new Eldorado of fabu
lous richness. Not since the memora
ble stampede to the California gold
fields in 1549 has the frenziei search
for the yellow metal reached the pres
ent stage, nor have such alluring pros
pects been held out since those excit
ing days.
VETERAN EDITOR DEAD.
President of Louisville Courier-Journal
Succumbs to Injuries.
Walter Haldeman. president of
the Louisville Courier-Journal compa
ny. and one of the most active news
paper men. died suddenly at 5 o'clock
Tuesday morning from the effects of
injuries received by being struck by a
trolley car Saturday morning. He was
over 81 years old. .
RELIEF COMMITTEES ARE NAMED
President Appoints Prominent Citizens
Throughout the Country to Re
ceive Funds for Sufferers.
The following was issued from the
white house at Washington Tuesday
afternoon:
“The president has appointed a com
mittee to receive funds for the relief
of the sufferers from the recent catas
trophe in Martinique and St. Vincent.
The gemlemen appointed from each
city are asked to collect and receive
the funds from their localities and
neighborhoods as expeditiously as pos
sible and forward them to Hon. Corne
lius N. Bliss treasurer of the New
York committee, which committee will
act as a central distributing point for
the country. The president directs all
postmasters throughout the country
and requests the presidents of all the
national banks to act as agents for the
collection of contributions, and to for
ward the same at once to Mr. Bliss, at
New York.”
Among those designated to act on
the committee in the south are Robert
J. Lowry, of Atlanta, Ga.; Thomas Bul
litt, of Louisville, Ky., and Paul Cap
deville, L. L. Lyons and S. T. Walms
ley, of New Orleans.
Comprehensive Plans.
So comprehensively laid were the
plans of the war department Monday,
even before the passage of the joint
resolution providing for the relief of
the volcano sufferers, that there was
really very little remaining for the offi
cials to do Tuesday.
The plans of the commissary de
partment, made after careful consider
ation of the news dispatches from the
Antilles, contemplate the supply of 40,-
000 rations for fourteen days. The
quartermaster’s department is pur
chasing clothing for 40,000 people, and
the medical department! is working in
proportion in its purchases.
The Buffalo has been ordered to be
put in readiness for immediate use as
a food aud supply transport in case it
should be decided to send more sup
plies than the Dixie will carry.
The Leonidas, at Port Royal, has
been ordered to load with supplies for
Martinique.
Secretary Hay telegraphed to Con
sul Ayme to ascertain the conditions in
Martinique with regard to the fresh
water supply, and if it be found that
such water is needed, the tenders at
Norfolk and Key West, which arc al
ready being leaded by orders from Ad
miral Bradford in anticipation of need
for them, will immediately s make for
the little island. i
Relief Bill Apprcv.d.l
President Roosevelt late "uAsday af
ternoon approved the bill oased by
congress appropriating s2oo,oWfer the
relief of the citizens of thd* Trench
West Indies, who have suffered from
the volcanic disturbances.
An additional appropriation of $300,-
000 was made by the senate for
the stricken people of the French West
Indies. The added appropriation was
made in accordance with the recom
mendation of the president, who had
asked that the amount of relief be
$500,000. The joint resolution carrying
the appropriation was adopted without
debate.
Red Cross Issues Appeal.
Hon. John Wilson, the first vice
president of the American National
Red Cross Association at the direction
of the executive committee of the as
sociation, has issued a public appeal
for the aid of the sufferers from the
Martinique disaster.
Money and supplies may be sent tcj|
the Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss, of New
York city, or money may be sent direct
to W. J. Fiatker. the treasurer of the
American National Red Cross Associa
tion, at Riggs bank, Washington.

ique sufferers continue to pour in. D*.

BILL ARP’S LETTER
Bartow Man Writes of Volcanoes
Earthquakes, Etc.
REVERTS T 8 ST. PIERRE CATASTROPHE
Says We Should Be Thankful that We
Live in a Section Secure From
Such Calamities —Tells of
His School Days.
It is a fitting time to think about
volcanoes, earthquakes and other in
ternal and infernal things that are go
ing on in the bowels of the earth. We
can see upward and outward for mil
lions and billions of miles, but the in
side of this little world is all unknown.
We live upon its crust and eat and
sleep and dance and prance and fight
and talk war and politics and trusts
with no thought of how near we are
to the fires that are burning under
U3 nor when they will break out and
consume us all, as they certainly will
some time according to scripture.
Those infernal fires have been burning
for thousands of years, and the myste
ry is, why they have not burned to
the surface long before this. Where
does the heat all go, and where are
the escapes—the chimneys—for smoke
and the ashes and lava? Surely these
few volcanos can’t discharge it all.
The word volcano, or vulcano, as it
used to be called, comes from Vulcan,
the god of fire, and the ancients be
lieved that the old fellow had his
shops and furnaces down there, and
sometimes when he blowed the bel
lows too bard the fire bursted out
through a hole in some mountain and
the melted rock spouted up and run
over the tank and washed down in
the form of lava, which is another Lat
in word, and means to wash. Volca
noes are Vulcan’s chimneys and as
far back as we have history, sacred or
profane, these chimneys hale had
their periodic discharges. Some wri
ters believe that there was one of
these not far from Sodom and Go
morrah. and those cities were de
stroyed like Pompeii and Herculane
um, or more recently like St. Pierre in
Martinique.
A few y?ars ago two of my boys
took a sea voyage from New York to
Trinidad arid stopped at all of these
little islands and historic points. They
told us of Martinique, where the Em
press Josephine was born and lived
until she was 15 years old. and whose
beautiful monument they saw. Un
happy lady! The world is still weep
ing for her. They climbed the heights
of this same volcano and looked down
into its crater, for it was quiet and
peaceful and had not had an eruption
for fifty years. The island is small,
very small, not quite as large as Bar
tow* county, but had a dense and mon
grel population of 1.30,000 people—
chiefly Indians, negroes and Chinese.
The whites numbered less than 10,000,
of whom only 1,200 were French. Just
think cf it. Our county is about 25
miles square and is quite thickly set
tled ard has 25,000 people, while Mar
tinique had seven times as many and
most Of them negroes. These negroes
were all slaves until 1848. They live
chiefly on fruit and anything they can
pick up or steal. My boys amused
themselves by throwing dimes into the
water that was from 20 to 30 feet deep
and the little negro boys would plunge
in ahd dive to the bottom for the motl
ey and always got it.
Then I got to ruminating about
Vesuvius and Pompeii and Hereulane
viint I used to speak a speech about
ancient Greece and Rome and Thebes,
and I always said Pompyeye and The
bees, for that was right then, and sc
was Sisero for Cicero, but they have
yot new ways now. and 1 don’t know
jjlere I am at. Vesuvius has been cut
ting up for more than two thousand
years. It has had nine eruptions, bait
jhere are still people living on its
Lopes and cultivating them. Its enor
mous crater is two miles around and
2,000 feet deep, and the accumulated
iara sometimes raises its bring 800
fee; during an eruption.
When Spartacus, the gladiator, was
beseiged by the Romans, he, with
his little army of seventy men tool;
refuge in that crater, for it was quiet
then, ard killed 3.000 Romans who at
tacked them on its brink. The great
orator, Cicero, had a beautiful villa
at its base, but in the year 75 A. D.
old Vulcan fired up his furnace and
belched forth fire and smoke and lava
and ashe antj buried those two cities
sixty-five -’et deep, and changed the
sea shore end the river so that their
sites could not' be found and when
found by acc lent they were two miles
inland. For th~ee centuries excava
tions have been going on and of late
with great energy.\and the veritable
homes of ;he cultured people have
been found filled with ashes and cin
ders that have preserved them all
these centuries. These homes and
halls and churches and tejnples have
been cleaned out and even the paint
ings on the walls have been restored
and the beautiful marble sculpture
cleaned and renewed just as it was
when the awful calamity occurred. The
celebrated sculptured figures of Lao
coon and his sons strangled by a ser
pent was found to be in perfect con
dition- In some of these beautiful
bounds of the Wealthy the tables were
set for a feast, and in the temple were
found the gold and silver adornments
that are usual in such places. In the
Temple of Juno there were the corpses
of 300 people who fled there for safety,
but Juno was powerless and they all
perished, just as did the 3,000 at St.
Pierre who fled into the Roman Cath
olic cathedral.
The fate of all these cities was very
similar, for it was not lava that de
stroyed them, nor was at St. Pierre,
but a shower of cinders and ashes,
and these are preservatives of any
thing that they encase.
When we consider ail such calami
ties a grateful and thoughtful people
will be thankful to our heavenly Fath
er that we live in a land remarkably
free from calamity or affliction. No
volcanoes hang 'their threatening
peaks over us. The noiso<ie pesti
lence does not visit us by day or by
night. Cadaverous famine does not
darken our households with its awful
distress, but we life in peace and in
plenty, and the lines have fallen in
pleasant places.
It is a fitting time now for those who
like to read romance that is founded
on fact to take up that good old book
of Bulwer's, “The Last Days of Pom
peii.” and read it again.
I have just received a pleasant let
ter from a North Carolina friend ask
ing me what I think of Carroll’s book,
“The Negro a Beast,” and he asks,
"Do you believe the nigger is a beast?”
I answered at the bottom of his letter,
“Which Nigger?”—B. A., in Atlanta
Constitution.
ANARCHISTS AFTER ALFONSO.
Boy King of Spain Gets Into Line of
Danger ImmediaVdy He As
sumes His Office.
Advices from Madrid, Spain, state
that an anarchist plot against King
Alfonso has been discovered and six
arrests, including that of Gabriel Lo

riage in Saturday’s procession.
The discovery of the plot against
the king is confirmed newspa

ther arrests have been made and the
prisoners include six medical stu
dents, a printer, a carpenter ahd a
mason.
The captured cartridges are being

of an anarchist plot against the king
since last March, and in April they
discovered an anarchist meeting place
in a fashionable quarter of Madrid.
Three Andalusian anarchists ar
