Washington D. C. May 24. —Three
times has the island of Martinique suf-
!• red disasters of volcanic origin. In
17H7 there was a great ’cartlspiakc
which caused the lives of Kitai pFraons
That was the greatest disaster in the
historj- of the island previous to this
now re|H>rted. There was an earthquake
in 1839 which destroyed nearly half Port
Royal the |>rcsent capital of the islands
ami killed 780 persons. The damage re*
suiting from that shock extended all
over the island.
History's pages arc full of disasters
Which liave la-islh-n thy hiim.in race but
no calamity of its kind in recent yean
can even approximate the terrible loss of
lite which has made notable the destruc-
tion of St. Pierre on the island of Mar
tinique. Of events which have shoekud
• lie world by the enormity of the de-
struction which followed in their wake
none but th«- battle of Gettysburg can
approach the recent disaster for loss of
life. Instances where whole towns and
communities have liccn wiped out are
Comparatively few but all have lieen tw-
riffh In their consequences. St. Pierre
ha- been no exception. ’ •
Among the calamities which are most
notable the destruction of Pompeii and
Herculaneum in the year 78 stands as the
most ancient of which there is a complete
Recount extant. Strangely enough the
destruction of these cities is the nearest
approach in historj- to the disaster which
refell the ill-fated St. Pierre. The work
ot Vesuvius on this occasion was as slow
as it was complete. Herculaneum was
literally swept from Ha- earth by a
st 1 cam of molten lava while Pompeii
was suffmaled by cinders and a Jies. The
eruption lasted for days and covered the
two cities to a depth of from eighteen to
twenty feet and so changed IfTF topo-
graphy of the cwuilry that it was centur-
ies before tojMigrapbers were able to lo-
(ate the lost cities. The loss of fife
on this occasion was never known but
it must have reached far into the thous-
ands.
Not until 1755 was the world again
shocked by a catastrophe of similar pro-
portons nit hough there were many
throughout Italy. Sicily South America
and the t.bicnt where the loss of life has
liccn estimated at much higher figures
which were impossible of verification. The
great earthquake and tidal wave of Lis-
lion in 1766 was one of the most far-
rcaching and destructive phenomena of
nature which has come down in libtory.
It was 11 festal day in the city and nil
Portugal was there. Lite in the after-
noon a giant wave swept overthe iloomed
city ami in eight minutes when the
wave had receded it carried with it
|i<)ooo people into the sea. The surviv-
ors crowded the stope wharves along the
water front many only to l>d carried
«wy by the tremendous swell which fol
lowed the movement of the first gigantic
muss of water. The disturbamcs reached
•he shores of Spain Morocro Mnderia
and many other islands in the archipela-
po carrying death and destruction with
It wherever it went. The shock of the
earthquake was felt over a territory 5-
(100 miles long.
About the beginning of the seven
feenth gentpry Central America was vis-
ited by ar earthquake which killed 10-
ukl jicople scattered Over a w ide territo-
ry. Naples al the same time began to
feel a series of earthquake shocks which
i-imtimied iiilermitlciitly for seventy-jive
years and eventually amassed u total of
111.000 people slain.
Not until the liattle of Gettysburg was
readied however has such a tremendous
list of casualties occurred in such a lim-
ited space of time and territory ns at
St. Pierre hi the three days’ lighting
before Gettysburg in July.’ 1863. the
CniOn loss was 23190 of whom 2384
wore killed and 13713 wounded. The
Contederate loss for the same engage-
ment was approximated »000 oj whom
5000 were killed and 23000 wounded. *
By far the worst of recent seismic
slux ks. however isvurred in the region of
the Mnlay archipelago in 1883. It accom-
panied the explosive eruptions of the vol-
cano Krakaton on the island of the same
name in tin- strait of Sunda Yietwcen
Java an Snmatra. The eruption which
liegan in May continued for nearly four
months. Nearly the entire island was
dest rnyed.
The wonderful phenomena which fol-
lowed this disturbance arc still well re-
membered. The ashes and dust were
thrown so high as to mark the up|>er air
currents and lie carried completely
around the globe producing 11 peculiar
effect in the iiir like a twilight glow
that continued for many months. The
sound of tin- explosions of old Krakaton
was heard at a distance of 2j2iio miles
and it was estimated that the air waves
traveled four and a half times around
the earth. Between 36.0tM) and 000
lives were lost and 160 villages were de-
stroyed.
I’wo years later the first earthquake in
the United States of world wide import-
ance ix-eurred in Charleston. On the
night of August 31 rii earthquake shock
was felt along the entire Atlantic roust
ol the I nited States.and several hundred
miles into the interior especially in the
southern states. Before morning it was
known that Charleston had suffered nn
unusual visitation and when tlu- final
news was known it was found that for-
ty-one lives had been lost in the falling
walls of the city and property to the
amount of $5000 000 had been destroyed.

of the dam of the Conemaugh river

swept out of existence and a loss of life
approximating 10000 souls took plaint
in the twinkling of an eye.
Tia- calamity which befell Galveston on
September 8. 1900. ranks with Johnstown
as the most uppaling within the memory
of present generations. Beginning with
a storm of moderate projuirtions the in-
(Teasing wind rolled the waves higlwr
and higher upon the beach "until after
a sudden shift of winds near
the island city was completely sum
merged and great waves from the sea
rolled over the town site. It was a night
of the most tcrillie suffering and misery
in which nearly 50.000 souls in and near
Galveston exp-s led every moment to die.
Between t.OOO and 10.000 people lost
their lives in the storm and millions of
dollars worth of property was destroyed.

sici.in was in the saloon in company
with two other musicians and had bee :
playing. When passing the liat around

to penetrate the llesli.
The bullet was a tbiity-two caliber
and only pansd through his trousers and
underwear Mopping just as it rea -bed
t|ie flesh. What probably saved Law-

jured wes that the bullet struck the
edge of the bur and glancing struck
the colored man.
As to’how the shooting took place
there are conflicting statements. Law-
son claims that tho bartender grabbed
