FRIDAY, MAY 1(5, 1!02.

THERE is still time to announce and a place on the Republican ticket this year insures election.

THK days for out door life have come. He is poor in purse indeed, and poorer in judgement who does not take a few days at least along the creek, by lake side or in the mountains.

IMAGINE the entire population of Montgomery county being wiped out of existence in the short space of thirty seconds and yon have a faint idea of the immensity of the Martinique dis aster.

How very unromantic that Booth Tarkington, the author of Boaucaire, should be sued for maintaining a nuisance in the shape of a doughnut factory. Dollars to doughnuts that ho wins the suit.

CRAWFORDSVILLE furnishes the bankers for the large cities as for examples Charley Williams at Indianapolis and Sam Thomas at Chicago. When New York wishes a successor to Pierpont Morgan will she kindly wire?

]p the 6hip subsidy bill is too bad to ba endorsed in the state platform and such a Bource of weakness that it can. not be defeLded in the campaign, then a Republican congress has no business to nass it either before or after tbe election.

VHKRK were only nine votes ea*t in the. house a^ai.iptHn impropriation for the Martinique bulTerers.and they were all cast by southern Democrats. We venture the opinion that these men do not represent the generous and s.vuapathetic people who elected them to congress.

Ji'uun KIKKIWI'RU IV, of Kokomo, is most talked of at a candidate for congress against Landis, and it has even teen predicted in certain quarterb that he wo^iid be aolc to carry Howard county. The Kokomo Tribute destroys even this faint hope, however, by calling attention to the fact that in INK! wnen he ran fjr judge, he was behind eight other candidates on his own ticket.

MONTGOMERY, county is expected to raioo 32f0 for the McKinley memorial fuud as her share of the $20,000 assigned to Indiana. So far the fund amouuts to $1.1)3.51, loaving nearly S-150 yet to be raised. There are many parts of the county to be heard from and many persons right in Crawfordsvilie who expect to subscribe but who neglect to give the matter the very small amount of attention it, .requires. We expect to close the subscription on June 1. and hope to have at,least 4250 by that time evening, May 2S,

to send to headuuartere. Methodist church.

TIIKKE is little sense in denouncing erreat corporations simply because they are great. That is the policy adopted by demagogues to deceive the ignorant. But it is the part of statesmanship to intelligently separate the pood and bad points of great corporations, to conserve the good for the common benefit and by legal restrictions destroy the evil. One of the

legitimate objections

to the trust is its habit of discriminating between different communities. It baB just

recently been brought out

that the sugar trust maintains its holu on the trade

of certain commucitien by

selling at less

'.ban the cost of produe-

tion in order to keep out the beet sugar product which can be marketed for less money in these places than the cane sugar. But does the trust lose? [f it did no one could object to its selling below cost. It simply raises the urice in other parts of the country and thus recoups the losses caused by the threatened competition. The Standard Oil company practices the same discrimination and so does the Bell telephone company. This is a species of fraud which is one of the foundation stones of monopoly and it should be prevented} by law. It is similar to the discrimination in freight rates which is also a great aid to monopoly. Here is a field for some practical work by congress.

HEKE is a hot message from Billy Bryan evidently intended for those recreant Montgomery county Democrats who met in precinct conventions on Saturday, May .'1, and refused to instruct the delegates to support the Kansas City platform contrary to his specific orders. He says: "Are you opposed to giving the control of the party organization into the hands of the sulkers, skulkers and shirkers who sold out the Democracy in 181)0 and 11)00, and who seek now to secure the leadership of the party they betrayed?"

Golden Wedding Celebrated. Tuesday at Shannondale Dr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Shannon celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, they having been married and lived all their life with the exception of a short time in their present home. A big dinner was served and the event was made the more enjoyable by the presence of their children, nameiy:

Edward and Miss Mary Shannon, Mrs. Frank LaFollette and Mrs. James Harper, of Lebanon. Among tie other guests present were Mrs. H. J. Webster, of Waynetown Mrs. J. M. Bishop and Mrs. W. H. Webster, of this city, and Mrs. Lizzie Glenn, of Chicago, the latter being a sister of Mrs. Shannon.

Miss Krout Coming Home. Miss Mary Hannah Krout has left New York City where she has been doing newspaper work for the past year or two and will arrive in Cravvfordsville about June 1, to spend the summer with her father and sisters. Her future plans are not yet known but it is surmised that she anticipates making a trip to some remote but interesting spot on the globe. She is now the guest of her sister, Mrs. Seearce, in Noble.sville, and will stop a few days in Terre Haute before coming here.

For Coroner.

Dr. Fred A. Dennis, the present coroner, announces in THE JOURNAL that ho is a candidate for renomination subject to the will of the Republican convention. Dr Dennis is a pushing young man who has made a place for himself in the practice of medicine by his own ellorts in the face of many difficulties. He is secretary of the Republican central committee and a faithful supporter of the party. During his term of ofliee he has conducted its duties in a manner above criticism

St. Thomas, D. W. I.. May 12.—St. Pierre was destroyed in the twinkling of an eye. Not 40 of the inhabitants of the city escaped. Some of the outlying parishes of the island of Martinique have been inundated. The whole northern portion of the island is burning it has been denuded of vegetation and is a rocky wilderness.

The latest news received here from St. Vincent, says the number of dead there is supposed to reach 500. the majority of whom have not. been buried. it is reported that Fort DeFrano", Island of Martinique, is threatened, and there is frightful tension everywhere.

Paris, May 12.—The minister of marine, M. i)e Lanessan, has received a cable dispatch from the commander of the French cruiser Suchet, dated Fort DeFrance. Martinique, saying that he has conducted a search at St. Pierre. The captain reports that the town is now a mere heap of smoking ruins, under which the victims of the catastrophe are buried. The Suchet was able to convey some of the inhabitants of I.e Precheur to Fort DeFrance. but. could not reach the northernmost part of the island on account of the dense rain of ashes.

The captain of the Suchet further reported that the Mont Pelee volcano still has a threatening aspect. Subterranean rumblings are still heard, flashes of flame still belch from the volcano, and stones are thrown out with immense force.

A dispatch received at the colonial office here from Fort DeFrance says there is no doubt that Governor Mouttet and the commander of the troops at St. Pierre. Colonel Dain. are dead. Other dispatches confirm the reports that the American and British consuls and their families perished.

M. Bloeh. inspector of finance, and M. I-aharnthe, the colonial minister's secretary, who have been dispatched by the government to Martinique, sailed from Brest Sunday on board the French cruiser D'Assas. which carries money, provisions and other stores for the relief of the Martinique sufferers.

A French cable oflicial who went to St. Pierre reports that the company's office has been burned to ashes and that, there no trace of the staff. This oflicial adds that the cremation of the bodies of the victims has begun and that the cable steamer Pouyer Quertier is proceeding to repair the iiorthern cable. The waves of lava are still reported to be (lowing northward. They have extended even to Le Carbet.

DKTA1LS COMING IN

Report From Nearby Point. Olives Kurt her l.iyht On Disaster. Fort DeFrance. Island of Martinique, May Hi.—Advices heceived here from the vicinity of St. Pierre (.10 miles from here) contain further details of the terrible volcanic upheaval which resulted in the utter destruction of that town and the death of nearly all its inhabitants.

The crater of Mont Pelee has been wearing its "smoke cap" since the third of May. but there was nothing until last .Monday to indicate that there was the slightest danger. On that day a stream of boiling lava burst through the top of the crater and plunged into the valley of the River llJanche, overwhelming the Guerin sugar works and killing 23 workpeople and the son of the proprietor.

A commission was appointed by the governor to investigate the outbreak and it returned a reassuring report on Wednesday evening. But. about. 8 o'clock on Thursday morning a showf/r of fire rushed'down on St. Pierre p.nd coast from I,e Carbet. which had population of C.OOi), to I.e Precheur. ivhich had a population of 4.000 burning up everything in its path. Throughout. Thursday the heat in the vicinity of St. Pierre was so intense and the stream of flowing lava was so unremitting that it was impossible to approach the town during the early part of the day. As evening approached the French cruiser Suchet. after a heroic battle with the heat, suffocation and sulphur fumes, succeeded in making a dash toward the. shore, ncaring the land close enough to enable her to take off 30 survivors of the disaster, all of whom were horribly burned and mutilated. St. Pierre at that time was an absolute smoking waste, concealing 30,000 corpses, whose rapid decomposition necessitated, in some cases, instantly completing their cremation, •which was only partially accomplished by the lava.

The inhabitants of Fort DeFrance vere panic-stricken the morning of the disaster, when the sky suddenly blackened until it was as dark as midnight. The sea shrank back 30 yards, and hot rain began to fall, while gravel thi

size of walnuts poured down on tho town. This lasted about. 15 minutes. The survivors were brought here Saturday from the vicinity of St. Pierre by the French cable repair ship Pouyer Guertier. which came from the town of I.e Precheur. where, surrounded on all sides by flowing lava, they were nearly roasted to death and expected momentarily to be engulfed.

The work of relief is progressing here on the most extensive scale possible. but in anticipation of disturbances. the treasury building and the warehouses are guarded by troops. The latest reports received here show ed that lava (ontiuues to pour down the slopes of the mountain, slowly engulfing the whole north side of the island, while fresh crevasses are continually opening.

[slaml of P.ritisli West Indies Stifle Ii rent l.ess. Kingston. Island of St. Vincent. B. W. I.. May 12.—After numerous earthquakes during the preceding fortnight accompanied by subterraueau noises in the direction of the Soufriere volcano on the northwest part of the island, a loud explosion from the crater occurred Monday last, and the water in the crater lake ascended in a stupendous cloud of steam and exploded heavily. The noises grew louder continually until Wednesday morning. when the old crater, three miles in circumference, and the new crater, formed by the hist eruption, belched smoke and stones, forcing the residents of Wallibou and Richmond valley. beneath the volcano, to flee to

Chateau Belair for refuge. The thunderous noises which were continually increasing were heard in neighboring islands 200 miles away. At midday the craters ejected columns of steamy vapor rising majestically eight miles high and expanding into wonderful shapes, resembling enormous cauliflowers, gigantic wheels and beautiful flower forms, all streaked up and down and crosswise with vivid flashes of lightning, aweing the beholder and impressing the mind with fear. The mountain labored t:o rid itself of a mass of molten lava whie'o later flowed over in six streams down the side of the volcano, and the gre" er noises following .united in one continuous roar all evening through the night to Thursday morning, accompanied with black rain, falling dus: and favilla scoria, attended with midnight darkness all Wednesday, creating feelings of fear and anxious suspense.

On the morning of Friday there was a fresh eruption and ejections of fiery matter, more dust, covering the island, in some places two feet. deep. The crater is still active as this dispatch is sent, and great loss of life is believed to have occurred.

The lava has destroyed several districts with their livestock. People are fleeing to this town, streams are dried up. and in manay places a food and water famine is threatened. The government is feeding numerous sufferers from tlie outbreak. Great physical changes have taken place in the neigh borhood of Soufriere. Several districts have not yet. been heard from, and the scene of the eruption is tin approachable. Every hour brings sadder news. The nurses and doctors are overworked.
