Ex. . fears Tidal Wave- United States Consul Ayme Says if Mont Pelee Should Blow Head Off Loss of Life Would Be Appalling. "I am seriously alarmed at the news of the renewed activity of the Mar tinique and St. Vincent volcanoes" said Louis II. Ayme, United States consul at Gaudeioupe, who is now in Chicago on sick leave. "Should Mont Pelee blow its head off the loss of life consequent upon the production of a great tidal wave would be appalling. With Pelee as a centre, a chain of islands extends northwest ward, embracing a population of some 750,000 persons. "Almost without exception, the cities and villages are situated along the coasts and are but slightly elevat ed above the sea. A tidal wave forty feet high would probably destroy a half million lives before it dashed against the shores of Porto Rico, with its million inhabitants. "There is also apparently grave danger that other long extinct vol canoes may break out. The great Soufriere, of Gaudeioupe, has been active for centuries, discharging a vast column of sulphur charged steam from the old summit cratef. This may have acted as a sort of safety valve, but if, as reports seem to indicate, the seismic forces are increasing in intensity, this volcano and others along the line of seismic weakness marked by the island chain may soon be revally Pelee. "The people of these islands are in a hard situation. Their commuuica Hon with the outer world depends chiefly on a single line of steamers, which call at intervals ot from ten days to three weeks at some ot the islands when freight offers. The whole fleet of this line, to which the ill fated Roraima belonged, could not carry three thousand persons. "The island of Martinique seems to be doomed. It will not be possible to persuade people to remain there if they can get away. Gaueeloupe, where my consulate is situated, is in even worse predicament. What im mediate measures of re'iet we can take it would be difficult to say, but prob ably two or three of our war vessels with scientific observers should, be nomptly dispatched to the spot." Notice. As the pastor of the A. M. K. Church will leave on the eighteenth of October for conference, I take this method of notifying those who .subscribed on the church debt. Will you please pay the amount to the treasurer, Glasco Cameron, as I want to pay off all the debts be fore I go? - Rev. T. A. J. West. THE STATE AT A GLANOE. Sunbtiry has a case of small pox, the 14 months old cliikl ot Mr. and Mrs. Milliner, lias the dis ease.

According to a decision of the United States Circuit court of ap peals, a tavern keeper may he held responsible for the death of a patron of his place in the event that death occurs Ironi an accident resulting from intoxicated condition of the patron. While playing marbles with other boys, John, the 5-year-old son of Michael Roberts, of Park View, accidntly swallowed a marble which he had placed in his mouth. The marble lodged iu the boy's throat and he strangled before a physician could provide relief. Although there are 69 cases on the calendar of court at Sunbury which convened Monday morning, but eight or ten will be tried. Law yers succeeded in having their cases postponed, many of the reasons be ing lack of funds on the part of their clients on account of the strike. There was frost in all sections ot Lancaster county Sunday night, and in some places the tobacco crop was damaged. Fanners are ex periencing great difficulty in gett ing help to harvest their crops this ytar on account of the large number of young men who have moved to the cities.

Russel for vol unteers to pick coal for the winter's supply for the Primitive Methodist Church of Ilazleton was responded to by nearly all the able-bodied men and boys of the congregation and on Monday the party went to Stockton culm banks, where they gathered enough anthracite to heat the church and parsonage during the winter. Despite the heroic efforts of her mother and other neighbors to save her life, Myrtle, the six-year-old daughter of Ben Musgrave, of Sun bury, was burned to death Monday. In their efforts to tear the burning clothing from the child. Mrs. Mus grave and Serein Warfield wre burned. The child's dress became ignited while she was fanning the dying embers of a bonfire. Mrs. Fred Schell, of near Milton, Jn Sunday night proved herself a woman of unusual nerve. While driving along a lonely road four tramps attempted to rob her. One took hold of the horse, and two others grabbed the wheels, while the fourth made an effort to get into the wagon. With the butt of a heavy whip she rendered two of the men uncounscious, and, using the lash, she struck the other two in the face until they ran away from the wagon. As the men were unarmed, she escaped uninjured. Bloomsburg' Great Fair The 48th Annual Fair of the Co lumbia County Agricultural Society will be held at Bloomsburg, Oct. 7, 8, o and 10, 1902.
