Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. *2>- The West Indian hurricane struck the Isl? and of Jamaica with its full force yes? terday, inflicting great damage. Port Antonio, on the north coast, was completely overwhelmed. Only six ?ouses were left standing there. The United Fruit Company's wharves, offices, hotel and plantations were ? utterly demolished. 3? ive* of the com? pany' steamers, includeing the Simon Durr ois, Alfred Dnmois and Brighton, were driven ashore, but are lying in easy positions. Port'Maria, another town, on the north coast, also suffered similarly. The coast is stre wn with wreckage of local sailing boats. The southeastern ]>ortion of the isl? and has been completely denuded of its crops; -the rivers are flooded and many men were carried out .to sea and drowned. Considering the damage to proparty during the hurricane, the loss of life is comparatively small, though the present estimate, is that the death list will reach fifty. Hun? dreds of persons were injured and there were numerous hair-bredth escapes. The property loss is estimated at $10, - ?00,000. The entire eastern end of the island bas been devastated. Villages have been wiped out and public buildings and churches demolished. Thousands of the peasantry, rendered homeless and destitute, are wandering about seeking food and shelter. The de? struction of the banana plantations has been complete and the fruit trade is paralyzed for the next twelve months. Hundreds of prosperous fruit growers have been brought to bank? ruptcy and ruin. The western end of the island, which it was at first supposed had escaped, also suffered considerable, thougli not to the extent which the eastern end d? The new banana plantations planted there were party destroyed* and the orange and coffee crops were also injured. The Norwegian steamer, Salvatore di Giorgio, "was driven ? ashore at Annotta Bay and lies in a dangerous position. Several ?ailing vessels were wrecked on the north side. " It ?s still stormy and threatening and there are fears that there may be a renewal of the storm. Torrential rains have increased the misery of the poor and homeless. Thousands of bouses in Kingston were dmaged, the wharves were batter? ed and several coasting vessels were sunk in the harbor. Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. l3.-The destitution in the hurricane-stricken districts in appalling. Thousands of persons, homeless, starving and ill elad, are hurrying to the towns to ob * tain shelter and supplies, but, , as all 'the houses and public buildings have been demolished the misery is in? tense. A meeting held at Port Antonio today appealed, with the Governor's approval, to the generosity of the American people. Foodstuffs and lumber are urgently needed and as? sistance was implored. The Norwegian steamer Ethelwold -encountered the hurricane on her voyage from New York to Jamaica, ?and passed through a terrible experi? ence. Her machinery became deranged and the cylinder cover was blown off. The steamers Alfred Dnmois and the i Salvatore Di Giorgi are still ashore. The other steamers, which went . ashore, have been floated. -Man's as Old as he Feels. -~*&g : Dallas, Tex., Aug. 1&-1? was an? nounced today that ex-Governor F. R.

ASBITBA?TsiTifiUB?Hi Birmingham, Aug. 13.-At today's session of the arbitration board, which is considering the differences between the Alabama miners and operators, the -testimony was largely of a technical character, the object being to get tes? timony regarding the differential wages between the two mines. Witness Herbert, for the operators, created a sensation when he stated that the earnings of certain miners as :set forth by the operators did not re? present their net earnings, because the cost of powder, oil,* etc., has not been deducted. The witness for the operators had testified that some min? cers had earned as much as $135 per month. At the conclusion of Mr. Herbret's testimony T. G. Bush, president of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company, was called. Col. Bush insisted that conditions about the ?saines were good. He said the com? pany provided at its expense at each camp, schools churches and hospitals. Teachers cost the miners nothing and physicians' services were free in cases ?of injury. Houses were furnished at a monthly rental of $1 to SI. 25. CoL Bush was still on the stand at the time of the adjournment for the day. Maniac's Terrible Deed. Winfield Kas.

Bulgaria Expects . War and is Looking Daily for the Turks To Begin a General Massacre of the Christains in Macedonia. Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 12.-The Bul? garian foreign office has received very disquieting news from its agent at Uskub. The Mussulmans there are daily gathering in the mosques, and it is feared that a massacre of the Chris? tians is impending. Officials here ex? press the belief that the intervention of the Powers alone can prevent a dis? aster-. The whole Bulagrian Government takes a decidedly pessimistic view of the situation, and the officials openly express their fears that a general mas? sacre of the Christians of Macedonia is inevitable-possibly within four days, and almost certainly wihin a fortnight Meanwhile the Government continues to maintain its peaceful attitude, but it believes that a sudden development of affairs across the border may at any moment render ?he authorities power? less to prevent war. . The reports from Bulgarian official agents in Macedonia show that affairs are rapidly growing worse. The fact that tiie Mussulman population is be? coming excited and congregating in the mosques is regarded as a bad fea? ture, idicating the possibility that a massacre may occur within a very short time. It is everywhere declared that the present ministry is doing its utmost to check the revolutionary movement, but the situation is reaching a point where circumstances may prove tco strong for the Cabinet. The growing economic depression in the country constitutes a dangerous factor in the situation. The commercial classes declare that the present condition' of affairs is no longer endurable. Fighting Throughout the Disturb? ed District. Sal?nica, Aug. 13.-It is reported that the Bulgarian insurgents have massacred the inhabitants of the large Turkish village of Kanati, near Mon? astic Only 20 escaped.

Con? stantinople replied, ordering the en? rollment immediately bf 2,000 exclu? sively Mussulman gendarmes for the service in Sal?nica. The insurgent banner was nnfurled August 10 at Konsko, near Giergveli, showing that the insurrection is spreading eastward. Four thousand troops are bombard? ing Krushevo, which is in the hands of the insurgents, and the Bulgarians in the Krushevo and Seka districts are suffering severely. Insurgents bands frequently visit Kastoria. A big fight is proceeding at Diarat, near Monastir. Great anxiety prevails at Monastir, owing to the threatening attitude of the Turkish soldiers. It is stated that the French and Italian consuls are in danger of their lives. Fighting is proceeding at Chernareka nearGumenje, to which place rein? forcements have been sent. A great movement of troops is proceeding at Mitrovitza, Sal?nica and Sorovitch. illness of Lord Salisbury. London Aug.

Late in the afternoon Judge Osborne directed Sheriff - Leach to call the jury from the room. Judge Osborne asked them if they had reached their ver? dict. Foreman McCauley said they had not. The Court then put them again in charge of the sheriff, and told them that after supper they might dis? cuss the case among, themselves and then retire for the night. They are to report tomorrow morning. Judge Osborne stated that he intended keep? ing them over Sunday if they did not sooner render a verdict. It is the opinion of all that a mistrial will be the result. Proving the Crime. Georgetown Ky., Aug. 13.-On the witness stand for three hours in the Powers trial today the convict. Henry Yontsey gave damaging testimony against Caleb Powers. He testified that in January 1901 he signed an affidavit for Powers as to his innocence 'to present to the Republican Judges of the Court of Appeals to secure from them a reversal of the life sentence given Powers. He said that at the time he signed the affidvit both Powers and himself knew it to be false and that before he would consent to affix his signature to it he required Powers to sign an agreement waiving the truth or falsity of it and also agreeing never to let it become public or to use it even in Court and, to return it to him (Yontsey) within fifteen days. He says the affidavit was not returned by Powers and Yontsey kept the writ? ten agreement. He produced the agree? ment in Court with Powers's signature attached. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.

B. Boyle, D. J. Chandler, G. W. Dick, W. H. Ep? person, fr. F. Epperson and J. A. Schwerin. Absent, Mayor A. B. Stackey and Alderman P. P. Finn.

Ryt tenberg and others were present. ^oAddresses were made by Messrs. Manning and Lee. They dwelt upon the necessity and importance to the business of the city of a good road from the Court House to Lee county line. Trade is being diverted to other towns because of the heavy road now existing as the only means of trans? portation between the city and the fine agricultual region a few miles north. The county authorities have consent ! ed to begin the work at once (if the city will do its share, ) and continue on to Lee county. After considerable discussion the following resolution by Aldermen Dick and Schwerin was adopted : Resolved, That the County Super? visor be, and hereby is requested to begin at once and continue as rapid? ly as possible the work of improving Main street. Beginning at Mile Branch, coming southward as far as can be done, for and in consideration of work now due to the city for con? vict labor. ? Resolved further, That the com? mittee of public works be instructed to push the work of improvement on Main street until completed. The police committee was authorized to retain Mr..

Averill, Jr., and Fireman Hair Buried Under the Engine and Killed. Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 13.-A special from Tryon City to the Observer says : Through freight train No. 62, third section, from Asheville to Spartan* burg, ran away en Saluda Mountain at 2.15 p. m., today. The engine and thirteen coal cars were wrecked near Melrose, the exact place where Engi? neer Tunstall's train was wrecked sev? eral years ago. The engine, and eleven cars are a total wreck, piled up and demolished in the cut. Anginer J. H.

Con? ductor Howie and his flagmen, Bish? op and Ward, were unhurt. A NEW RULE. The People has been as liberal in the publication of obituary notices!, tributes of respect and memorials as any newspaper in the State, and pro? pose to so continue. Of course we have to pay the printers for setting these contributions as we have to pay them > for putting advertisements in type, and the expense is considerable in the course of the year, but our sym? pathy with the bereaved makes it our duty to give such comfort as is in our ' power to those sorrowing for the going away of loved ones. Too much is asked of us, however, by a number of correspondents. We have on our desk at this 'writing an ac? cumulation of personal tributes and memorials amounting to thirty-five pages of manuscript. They are large? ly composed of verse, some original, some quoted, all touching and tender, but if we were to print one we would have to print all, and our columns would be-filled with them. So we are forced to adopt a rule to which there will be no exception, that while we will continue to publish brief obituary notices touching the lives, characters, social and church relations and life works of those who have been called away we will not publish more than four lines of poetry in any obituary, tribute or memorial without charge. All verse in excess of that number will be charged for at 5 cents a line, Barnwell People. A few more nice hammocks to be sold at cost to close out. Two or three which will be sold for $1 each are ex? tra baragins. H. G. Osteen & Co. RYDALE'S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR MALARIA. It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex? plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi? crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. !t drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE'S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap? point you. I CITY COUNCIL MEETING. _ Council Chamber, Sumter, S. C., Aug. 12th, 1903. Council held a regular meeting, 6 o'clock p. m. Present : Mayor A. B. 1 Stuckev, Aldermen D. J. Chandler, J. A. Schwerin, P. P. Finn, G. W. Dick, W. B. Boyle, E. W. Hurst and W. H. Epperson. Absent: Alderman G. F. Epperson. Mr. I. C. Strauss and Dr. S. C. Baker, representing The Sumter Tele? phone Co., were present in response to request of Council, for the purpose of defining their position relative to the general telephone ordinance. They claimed to be operating under their franchise granted by Council in Oc? tober, 1893, but intended to accept the terms of the general ordinance on the adoption of certain amendments whereby (1) office and business phones shall be liable to the same rates; (2) the company may make discretionary, contracts with country subscribers, as this class of patronage is supplied at a loss to the company; (3) in case ! Council at any time shall order poles removed, and wires placed under? ground then companies in existence at that time shall be allowed ten years in which to comply with such order. Mr. Strauss further stated that the company* has spent and is now spend? ing large sums of money in improving an extending their service, and ask the adoption of these amendments for the safety of their investments, which might at any time be destroyed by arbitrary act of some future council. Mr.. Strauss was reminded by Mr. Chandler that his company is asking for amendments to an ordinance which they claim does not effect them; whereupon Dr. Baker filed the follow? ing written acceptance: Sumter, S. C., Aug. 12, 1903. The Sumter -Telephone Company hereby accepts the terms of the gen? eral telephone ordinance as contained in the Code of Laws of the City of Sumter, 1903, page 76 (Sec. 1) to page 81 (Sec. 7.) The Sumter Telephone Co., by S. C. Baker, Pres., by I. C. Strauss, Atty. On suggestion of Mr. Chandler the desired amendments were submitted in writing, for future consideration. In reference to Mr. E. F. Miller's demand for office ?rates, Mr. Strauss declared that a printing office is a business house and not entitled to office rates which were intended for professional men only, and was a con? cession made to secure subscribers when the company first started in bus? iness. He asked that this matter be settled, as Mr. Miller's protest had brought forth others of a most unreas? onable nature. In answer to a ques? tion Mr. Strauss said that the com? pany is now installing the double me? tallic system and will have it complet? ed in sixty days. Minutes of July 24th were read and approved. Alderman Dick declared that posi? tive measures should be t?ken to pre? vent the establishment of a second dis? pensary in Sumter. He and Alderman Chandler offered the following resolu? tion which was adopted without a dissenting vote : Resolved, That it is the opinion of Council that a second dispensary in Sumter would be contrary to the pub? lic good both of the city and county, reducing, as it will, the profits of both, without any compensation there? for. Resolved, further, That Council will cooperate with citizens in ob? taining the petition necessary to pre? vent its establishment. Mr. J. J. Harby, manager of the Electric Light Company, appeared be? fore Council and stated that the clerk and treasurer had rendered a bill of $24 for lights not burning and $35 for absence of globes. He protested against paying the claim, because daily notices had not been given the company, and becauuse they had been unable to procure globes after repeated efforts. The clerk was directed to de duct the $35 charge for globes and col? lect the charge of $24 for lights not burning. Alderman Dick thought the charge of 4 cents per hour as made by the clerk for lights not burning was greater-than it should*, be, and moved that it be reduced to 234 cents. His motion was lost by the following vote : Yeas: Dick, W. H. Epperson. Nays: Finn, Boyle, Hurst, Chan? dler, Schwerin. Mr. Schwerin stated that he had been surprised to discover that the City has been paying for repairing water-pipes belonging to private par? ties, which had from time to time been broken by the street roller. The Clerk explained that the preceding Council had ordered all such breaks to be repaired at City's expense, which amounted to a considerable sum when macadam work was started, but that such breaks were now quite rare, he' having paid but one dollar and twenty five cents on that account during the present administration. Council de? cided that it was right that such ex? pense should be borne by the City and on Alderman Dick's motion it was so ordered, Mr. Schwerin voting ''No." A request for 800 feet fire hose from the Fire Chiefs was referred to The Fire Department Committee to con? sider and report. By unanimous resolution the Mayor and Clerk were authorized to borrow one thousand dollars from the First National Bank, giving a certificate of indebtedness therefor in required form, such'loan being necessary for current expenses. A letter was received from the Sum? ter Water Co., explaining the cause of low pressure during a fire on 25th July. Action was deferred. A letter from the American Pipe M'f'g Co., stating that the price quot? ed to Mr. Finn is the only figure they have to submit for sale of their Sumter plant, was received as information. - Philadelphia, July 21st, 1903. Mr. A. B. Stuckey, Mayor of the City of Sumter, Sumter, S. C. Dear Sir: Your favor of the 10th in reference to the purchase of the Sumter Water Works by your City has been received. We note that at a mass meeting of your citizens called to con? sider the question of a purchase, the matter was referred to City Council who were requested to say that the 1 City could not treat with the Water i Company on the basis outlined, but could consider the purchase upon the actual cost of the plant with a reason? able profit on the investment and proper deductions for deterioration. We beg to state in reply that the price quoted the City through Mr. Finn is the only figure we have to submit. We cannot consider the proposition as ? outlined in your communication. Yours truly, ' . Sumter Water Company, James H. Dawes, General Supt. Clerk and Treasurer's report for July was referred to the Finance Com? mittee. As also were several claims. Council then adjourned. C. M. Hurst, Clerk and Treasurer. Scholarship Examination. The examination of applicants for the Normal Scholarship in the South Carolina College will be held in the office of County Superintendent of Education Cain on Friday, August 21st. The examination will begin at 10 a. m. Clarendon Items. From the Times, Aug. 12. I There lives at Rimini, on the plan? tation of Col. R. C. Richardson, a colored woman whose age is said to be 110. She is active and industrious, makes her own living by farming, and every Sunday morning she walks 1*4 miles to church. The Rev. Hamp? ton Boston, who misrepresented Clar? endon in the Legislature in the glori? ous days of pilfering, is her brother. The government has not been satis? fied with the returns on the rural route from this place and one inspec? tor declined to recommend its continu? ance, but through the intercession of Congressman Legare another chance for improvement has-been given. The trouble is that the people along the route do not patronize it sufficiently. There are too few box keepers, and too few who get and send mail. The route is a great convenience to the farmers and especiaally is it so in the busy season when they have not the time to spare to come to town , therefore they should see to it that Congressman Le gare's efforts are sustained by those or whose interests he is working. Rev. F. W. Gregg, recent pastor of. the Manning Presbyterian congrega? tion resigned his charge here and has accepted a call to Pendleton. The sever-1 ance from this congregation was due solely to the condition of Mr. Gregg's health, it being deemed advisable by him to seek a mountainous climate. The congregation without a dissenting voice are high in their encomiums of their former pastor, and they one and all regret parting with him. As a citi? zen-Mr. Gregg was highly esteemed by all denominations, his gentle mod? esty, and his manly bearing attracted the admiration of the community who join with the Presbyterian congrega? tion in the regret of his moving away from us, and we voice the general sentiment in wishing Mr. Gregg G-od's speed in rebuilding his constitution, and a glorious succ?ss in his new field. From the Farmer, Aug. 13. The Naval Stores plant at this place is nearing completion, and it will not be long before the public can witness the valuable products being extracted from the pine stumps which hitherto have been a nuisance on every farm. During the protracted services held at the Baptist church recently* by the Rev. Dr. Fitch there were added to the church 65 members. Of these 51 will be received into the church by baptism, on a profession of faith. The other 14 members were received by letter, and by reinstatements. Forty one were baptized on Wednesday night, August the 5th, and the remainder last night. This has been a great in? gathering into the church and greatly strengthens and revives it. This community has been saddened by the death of Mrs. Beulah Jenkin? son, wife of Mr. Charlie Jenkinson, on last Monday at half past one o'clock, from the effects of blood pois? oning. It is a death under peculiarly sad conditions, and the bereaved family have the deep " *J sympathy of the en? tire community. The interment took place Tuesday at 9 o'clock at the Man? ning cemetery, the body being laid to rest beside the infant which preceded her a few days before. She was a young woman of sterling qualities, cheerful to the last degree, and was one who shed rays of sunshine and happiness wherever she went. To know her was to like her, and her usual jolly disposition was sure to impress those with whom she come in contact. She will be greatly missed. Paris, Aug. ll.-Eighty-four bodies have been recovered and the death list probably will exceed 100 in the under? ground railway disaster which oc? curred here last night. The accident, which occurred on the Metropolitan Electric railway,. assumed the propor? tions of an awful catastrophe during the early hours today when more than four score bodies of the burned and suffocated victims were removed from the subterranean passage. The work continues and indications are that the death list will perhaps exceed five score. GOOD PROOF. What Better Evidence Can Kesidents of Sumter De? mand ?
