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. Offers of assistance for the Marti i ique sufferers continue to pour in. D*. Louis Klopsrh, proprietor of The Chr.s tian Herald, New York, telegraphic! the war department offering to furnish fifty nurses, thirty male and twenty female, and 1,000 barrels of flour for the stricken islands, to be I contributed by The Christian Herald.

She would not appeal the case and went to jail. 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 pez, an employee of an insurance com pany, have been made. Dynamite car tridges were found on the premises where Lopez was arrested.
