THE M.AUEITIIIS OALAMITY.
Twelve Hundred Persons Perish' in the
_..__ — ,____ GreatHurricane.. -- — —_..
A CALL FOR, SUCCOR.
A London cable says : In the House of
Commons to -day Baron de Worms, Parlia-
mentary Under Seerbeary of the Colonial
Office, read a telegram fully confirming the
news of the frightful loss of life by the
cyclone at Mauritius. The telegram stated
that one-third of Port Louis was destroyed.
Among the buildings wrecked were the
Royal College and 24 churches. Many
sugar mills in the country were
completely demolished, and the valuable
•machinery employed in the griuding of the
cane and boiling the product, vacuum
pans and centrifugals, were badly
damaged. It is stated that in the
city of Port Louis 600 persons were
killed. • In the various country districts
thus far heard from 300 persons lost their
lives. There was no loss of life among the
British troops on the island, although a
numbed of the soldiers have been injured.
Sir Charles Cameron Lees, Governor of the
colony, is making every effort possible to
restore order and assist the injured. The
hospitals are unable to accommodate a tithe
of the patients, and many' hundreds of
dwellings in town, village and country are
giving refuge and such succor as they can
to the crippled and injured sufferers. The
dead were buried as rapidly as possible,
many of them being, thrown together
into a common grav, as there was
no time for elaborate funeral services,
and it was feared that the corpses in
that tropical climate must cause pestil•
once. In some sections whole families were
cut off and buried beneath the ruins of
their dwellings. Baron de Worms stated.
that Lord Knutsford, the Colonial Secre-
tary,
had communicated the facts of the
aster to the Lord Mayor of London and
that the latter would open a fund for the
benefit of the islanders. The mayor of Port
Lewis has cabled to the Lord Mayor of
London as follows : " A third of the town
is destroyed. There are thousands of vic-
tims. We appeal to your generosity." The
Lord Mayor cabled in reply that the citizens
of London felt the deepest sympathy for the;
sufferers and he promised immediate relief.
Over £1,000 has already been subscribed
and will at once be forwarded.
Advices from Mauritius are to the effect
that the devastation caused by the recent
hurricane was simply enormous. Business
at Port Louis, the capital, and at other
towns on the island has been and is still
greatly interrupted. The people have not
yet recovered from the shock of the terrible
hurricane. General business is suffering
greatly in consequence of the inability of
the merchants to get help to load ordis-
charge vessels in port. All the crops have
suffered from the disastrous storm, ' and
some of them are completely ruined. The
hurricane was accompanied by one of the
heaviest rain storms ever known. The
water fell in blinding sheets and with
tremendous force, beating the foliage, from
trees and even dashing the birds helpless
to the ground. In an in t'^ stiaall
streams became roaring torrentsa leaping
down the mountain side and carrying death.
and destruction in their paths. The water
spread over the country and rushed sea-
ward with irresistible force. In some cases
the growing crops were carried bodily into
the sea. It is thought many persons lost
their lives , in these floods, having been
caught by the water and carried off into the
ocean. The greater part of the fatalities
were among the laboring classes,' Africans,
Hindoos and Chinese, who do much of the
work on the plantations.
The latest despatch from Mauritius states
that one-third of the capital city of Port
Louis was destroyed. Among the buildings
wrecked were the Royal College and
twenty-four churches. Many sugar mills in
the country were demolished, and the
valuable machinery was badly damaged.
It is known that in Port Louis alone 600
persons were killed. In the various coun-
try districts heard from 300 persons lost
their lives. It is believed when the , death
roll is completed it will be found that over
1,200 persons were killed. The hospitals in
Port Louis are filled to overflowing with
the injured, and tents are erected in the
hospital' grounds to accommodate those
'chose injuries demanded instant attention.
Nearly every house in the city has one or
more of its inmates under treatment. In
Port Louie alone 1,000 people were injured.
There was no lose of life among the British
troops Stationed on the island. Though a
large part of the crops was destroyed, no
famine is apprehended. The Government
has taken measures to relieve the distress.

AN OLD IAN'S CRIME.
Beats His Wife's Brains Ont and Then
Commits Suicide.
A Kalamazoo, Mich., despatch says : The
first case ofenurdeieinKalamazoo -countries
over six years was reported from a place
near Augusta-yeaterday afternoon. It was
a double tragedy, an aged farmer killing his
wife and the committing suicide. Gilbert
Roswell and wife, who lived on a farm six-
teen miles from here, have had continuous
trouble since they were wedded five years
ago, both having previously keen married.
They owned adjoining property. Two
months ago Mrs. Roswell left her husband
and had her household goods removed to the
city, where she rented a house and had been
living with her son. At that time Roswell
made many threats that he would get even
with her and would not allow her to live
unless she lived with him. About ten days
ago Mrs. Roswell had trouble with her son
over his prospective bride, whom he had
taken into .the household. The son left for
Texas, and his whereabouts is unknown.
Mrs. Roswell tired of living alone in the
city, and(went to her country home yester-
day to eject Roswell from the premises that
she might return without molestation. Her
niece accompanied her. The old man, who
is 65 years of age, objected, and hot words
ensued. They were in the kitchen, together
with Mrs. Jennie Barton, wife of 1t. E. J.
Barton, who lives near by, when Roswell
took a rolling -pin and beat his wife on the
head until he killed her. The room where
the crime was committed presents a horrible
sight. The woman was left lying on the
floor, her head being crushed and battered
almost into an unrecognizable mass. Ros-
well then put a revolver to his own mouth
and fired upwards. Helived but a few
minutes. Both were dead when Mrs. Barton
returned from the neighbor's where she ran
and gave the alarm.
DIVORCE ASKED BY AaiILNISTElt.3
Rev. Dr. Henry S. Schuhl Wants to; be a
Single Man Again.
A despatch to the Chicago Sunday Herald,
of May 22nd, dated Sioux Falls, S. D., May
21st, says Rev. Dr. Henry Schuhl, a
Lutheran minister, of Hamilton, Ont., has
began an action at Madison, S.' D., for a
divorce. Dr. Schuhl is a Parisian by birth.
He graduated at the leading university in
Paris and then accepted a professorship in
bis alma mater. While teaching he met his
present wife, Brunette Schuhl. She was
piquant and handsome. After a month's
acquaintance they were married. Soon
after the marriage, which took place in
Paris, Nov. 20, 1878, the young man was
ordained as pastor of the Lutheran church.
He was given a church in Paris. But his
wife's conduct was not that of a minis-
ter's wife. She was passionately fond
of society, and those who called on
her, it is alleged, would not, be supposed
to come to talk with the pastor. After
six or eight months Dr. Schuhl moved to
the . United States, settling first in New
York city, where his wife's conduct excited
even more comment than in Paris. Then
he went to Montreal, where he remained for
two years. From Montreal the doctor took
his wife to Hamilton, Ont. One day in
January, 1890, the doctor, after a visit to
aii adjacent city, returned ; to find his wife
gone. On the table iwas an envelope con-
taining a letter in French. It was from his
wife, who wrote that she could- no longer
endure the restraints of a minister's wife.
She said she craved society, and closed with
the statement that she had eloped with her
lover. The couple were afterwards heard
from in Kansas City and New Orleans.
They are now supposed to be in Paris.

A St. Catharines despatch says : Last

Laving Gerlock, a young American, and fell
in love with her and at once proposed mar-
riage. She was not feeling like getting
married to a, man of 60 without some in-
ducement, which was made in the form of a
marriage settlement of a small but valuable
fruit farm and handsome residence. They
were married, but happiness apparently did
not follow. Shortly after an eviction was
in order, Cyrus getting into the premises
while she was in St. Catharines getting
legal advice and barring her out. He then
brought an action to set aside the marriage
contract, and made the trustee of the mar-
riage settlement, a Mr. Zimmerman, one of
the defendants. The case was called at the
spring sittings of the Court of Chancery
yesterday morning, and some most sensa-
tional evidence was promised, but the law-
yers got to work and effected a settlement,
whereby all statements of impropriety on
both sides were withdrawn end the farm
made over to Cyrus, subject to a charge of
$3,500 to be paid Mrs. Nixon. Thereis also
another mortgage on the premises which the
old gentleman assumes.
FOR HIS OWN LIFE.
The Fee For Which Col. Hing Will Plead at
Memphis.
A Memphis, Tenn., despatch says : Next
Thursday will be presented in the Supreme
Court of Tennessee at Jackson the curious
spectacle of a distinguished lawyer arguing
his own cause on an appeal from a verdict
which condemns him to death. The man is
Col. H. Clay King, of the Memphis bar,
who is under sentence to hang for the mur-
der of David H. Poston, a brother lawyer.
The crime was committed on the street in
this city on March 10th, 1891, and was
most delibrate and unprovoked. The appeal
was taken on points of law which are in
themselves. of unusual interest. By the
rule of the Supreme Court attorneys are
limited to two hours for argument, bet Col.
King has taken his case entirely out of the
hands of his counsel, and, owing to the
peculiar circumstances attending it, the
court has agreed to allow him three hours.
Lawyers from every, part of Tennessee and
from other States will, be there to hear. him.
The Allen Labor Act.
A Buffaloi.espatch says : Mr. Teiper, for-
merly of Hamilton, Ont., recently established
the Buffalo Bridge and Iron' Works here.
Mr. Teiper apparently favors Canadian
labor, and a few days ago discharged two
American workmen -to make room for two
Canadians. The latter, William and .Joseph
McMaster, fell in Inspector De Barry's way,
and were yesterday run out of Uncle Sam's
territory.

A SLANDER CASE.'
One"Collecting Agency Obtains Damages
from Another.
A Bracebridge despatchsays : TheAssizes
for the Dietrict of Muskoka opened here
to -day, Chief Justice Armour presiding.
Collins vs. Baker was an action for slander.
The Union Credit & Protective Association,
oasToronto, represented by Messrs. Collins
& Andrews, who have established a some-
what extensive business through the
Dominion as collectors of bad and doubtful
debts from slow and impecunious debtors,
found a rival in the business in the
defendant Baker. The latter, in soliciting
business at Gravenhurat and elsewhere, is
alleged' to have made the slanderous
remarks in question to patrons of the plain-
tiffs' association for the purpose of inducing
them to transfer their collecting patronage
to himself, and in a few cases, it is said, he
succeeded in doing so. Hence the present
action. The plaintiffs established by evi-
dence that the • statements made by the
defendant which constituted the slander
were groundless and untrue.. No evidence
was offered in defence, and after a short
absence the jury returned a verdict for
plaintiff for $100.
THE FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
SITICIDE ENDED ALL.
Domestic Infelicity.. Blackmail and the
° Baal Consequences.
A Bay City, Mich., despatch says : F.
W. Tompkins committed suicide on
Wednesday by taking carbolic . acid. On
May 18th Tompkins broughtsuit against
Warren Ellsworth for $15,000 damages for
alienating his wife's affections. Ellsworth
is a prominent merchant and the head of a
highly rehpected fancily. For several years
he had been in the habit of visiting the home
of Tompkins, but nothing was suspectedby
the husband until ten days ago, when Orrin
S. Ryerse, a brother of Mrs. Tompkins, ac-
companied by a constable, broke into the
house during one of Ellsworth's visits
and surprised, the couple together. It
was claimed by Ellsworth at 'the
time that it was a case of black-
mail on the part of Ryerse and subsequent
developments tended to bear out the state-
ment in a measure, for it has been shown
that the brother had known of his sister's
infidelity for some time !met, and laid his
plans to entrap her wealthy visitor. In one
of the pockets of Tompkins' clothing was
found the following note :
To the People :
Don't persecutemy children for my fault. I
have done this myself. Oh, Orrin, God help
you. Your object was money. My blood is on
you. God be merciful to ins a sinner. •
(Signed) F. W. Toui'KIN.4.
This is takers as evidence that Ryerse
instigated the snit, and that the disgrace
proved more than the husband could bear.
Ryerse's real name is Ryerson, and he is a
member of one of the most prominent fami-
lies in Canada. Tompkins came from Lock-
port, N. Y., eight years ago, and was
highly respected.
A THRILLING F\PERIENtE.
A Boatman Plunges Forty-five Feet Ovcr,a
Waterfall. ,
A Rondout, N. Y., despatch says : A
thrilling scene was witnessed at Rifton,
Ulster county, to -day. A young man from
Philadelphia,' who refused to give his name,
but who is interested in a phonograph, went
sailing on the Wallkill Creek. His little
craft got into the current and its occupant,
losing all control'of it, drifted helplessly to-
wards the falls at Rifton. Just as the boat
reached the falls the man gave a jump over
the falls, clearing the rocks ,below and
striking deep water. Those who witnessed
the scene were horrified, expecting never to
see the man alive again. The stranger after
going under the water three times struck
out and reached the shore in an exhausted
condition. The boat was dashed to pieces.
The young man is the only person who has
ever gone over the falls and come out alive.
When the water is low in the creek the
falls are 45 feet high.

lathers people, and he occasionally smashes
their mugs.
How a Not Too Honest Farmer Lost nes
Little Pile.
A Buffalo despatch says : Mr. W. A.
Thompson, a Canadian farmerof Chepstowe,
Ont., arrived in Buffalo this morning from
New York. He was a victim of the gang of
swindlers known as green goods men. It
was the same old story. He went down to
New York on the understanding that he
could buy $7,000counterfeit money for $500.
He was met by one of the swindlers at
Poughkeepsie, taken to New York, planked
down his five hundred dollars, saw the
bogus $7,000 counted out and apparently
put in a box which he was cautioned not to
open till he reached Buffalo. ,On arriving
here he opened tile' box,, and found it to
contain some paper and a piece of brick.
He departed for homea sadder and a
wiser man—out his $500 and hisexpenses to
New York.

The House went into supply on the item
$5,000 for Orillia public building.
Mr. Ouimet said the total Bost would be
$19,600.
Mr. Mulock commended the expenditure,
and pointed out the contrast between that
and the expenditure of the same amount on
the post -office in Laprairiee where the
annual revenue was only $400.
The item passed.
On the item $14,000 for Petrolea public
building.
Mr. Macdonald (Huron), in criticizing
the expenditure, pointed to the fact that
only towns and cities sending supporters of
the Government to Parliament were
favored.
The Chairman (Mr. Sproule) called hint to
order as not speaking to the question.
Mr. Macdonald said he was speaking to
the question in his judgment.
After further discussion the matter was
The Plain Skirt Is Going.
Though the clinging sheath skirt is still
in the height of fashion, there is a strong
effort made to considerably enlarge its cir-
cumference, and to make it more elaborate
by means of flat tabliers, by inserted panel
pieces both on the front and sides, and by
slashing the skirts to' show a plaiting be-
neath ; also by placing fan -plaited trim-
mings and passementerie hands up some of
the skirt seams. Puffed borders are also
used with a band of ribbon twined in and
out. Spanish flounces are put on very deep
and rather full, with a tiny gathered lace
frill as a heading, and another fancy for
skirt trimmings is that of placing full
rosettes of plaited ribbons in two colors all
around the front and sides of the skirt.
George MacDonald in the Pulpit.
George MecDortald, the famous novelist,
has been preaching lately in London. One
who heard him lately in the pulpit of Dr.
Alton describes him as of medium stature,
of manly and sturdy appearance, his face
luminous, his voice that of an old man,
husky, broken and delivered with effort,
although he is not more than 67 years of
age. The discourse was delivered without
notes and aroused a good deal of interest
in the congregation, leaving a profound
impression of earnest, spiritual sincerity,
although the strictly doctrinal statements
were not strongly marked. George Mac-
Donald is a Universalist.

On the item of $10,000 for the Calgary

The House went into committee on the
Criminal Code. It was agreed to let section
141, dealing with the misconduct of officers
entrusted with the execution of writs,
stand.
On the clause defining perjury.
Mr. Davies brought to the attention of
the House the fact that a witness under the
present law was subjected to a most severe
kind of examination, even to matters relat-
ing to itis private life and every incident
thereof. He. wished to know whether the
English bill ought to be added to. Under
the bill of 1884 the words " whether the
evidence was material or not" were left
out.
Sir John Thompson said that it was
thought that whether the evidence was
material or not should be a matter to be
left to the tribunal dealing with the circum-
stances pertaining to the particular oll'eece
for which the prisoner was tried.
Mr. Davies argued that legal authorities
of great weight argued that a statement
which did not bear on the direct issue be-
fore the court and was not strictly in ac-
cordance with • truth should not be as
severely dealt with as those which bear on
the direct issue.
Sir John Thompson said that if a witness

vised Statutes of Canada, is amended by ,

Sir John Thompson—Government notices

Sir John Thompson said that te clause
was not new, and when crimes were being
stated and defined on the face of the statute
it was desirable to have such a clause.
Clause 180 relates to offences of sending
certain articles by post. Section A makes
it a crime to send through the post books or
pamphlets, etc., ' of obscene or indecent,
immoral, seditious, disloyal, scurrilous or

Mr Mills reminded the Government of a

said that, while this was allowed under this '
clause, yet he supposed that if the speech
