The people of the city have assembled in the churches and the cathedral, where special services are being held for the St. Pierre dead, has been thronged since daylight. The United States government tug Potomac leaves here tonight for the is alnd of St- Vincent, where conditions are reported to be worse. La Sou frereon St. Vincent, was in full eruption May 10. A stream of stone and mud. hall a mile wide was then issuing from the vol cano. Stones two inches in diameter fell twelve miles away. At Kingston, the capital of the island, the ashes were two inches deep. Seven hundred were reported dead Sunday, May 11. It is estimated that the total number of deaths on St. Vincent reaches two thousand. Most of the ie tims are said to be Carif Indians. Seven estates w**re burned to ashes and it is authentically reported that two arih quakes occurred there. It is believed the submarine cables in St. Vincent have been broken by the disturbances. The present volcanic eruptions on St. Vin cent is the first since 1812. Governor Hunt, of Porto Rico, has asked Louis Haye, the United States consul at Ouadelope, who is. now here, what assistance he could render. Gover nor Hunt’s offer has been communicated to the government, which will gladly ac cept it.

Kelly’s conduct at the ball grounds Mon day afternoon, when he attempted to bull doze the umpire, it was decided by President Busbee, of the State League, to line Kelly $5 and suspend him from playing for two days. Kelly’s defiance of the rules and of Umpire Proud in being among the spec tators yesterday dressed in his full uni form is condemned as tending to disor ganize good ball playing. Kelly de clared yesterday that he would not pay the fine imposed on him, but would stand going out of the league first. It is certain that President Busbee is not going to remit it. Kelly has five days in which to pay up. LAST GAME TO-DAY. A Special From Greensboro Will Bring a Large Delegation to See the Game.

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND BLIND Mr- John E Kay Re-elected Principal for three Years at the Annual Meeting of Directors At the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the School for the Deaf and the Blind, the attendance was un usually large, every member being present but one. Tt was the ocasion for the election of officers and teachers. Mr. John K. Ray, the principal, was re-elect ed for a term of three years: and the other officers and teachers for one year, respectively. Mrs. L. W. Meadows, the capable and popular matron, was re-elected, this making her sixth year in the institu tion. Theft* have been no new teachers elected. The board is seeking in every legitimate way to economize in the matter of expenses, but not at the cost of efficiency. The attendance during the present ses sion has been very large and in many ways this has been a most satisfactory year. The Principal reports every de partment doing very gratifying work; the recent inspection committee of the Board of Directors, which make a most thorough examination into every part of the work of the school every month, pre sented a most pleasing report of their last visit to both departments; and the Musical Director, Prof. John A. Simp son. in his annual report says of the music department: ‘‘The work of the year has been, carried on thus far under more favorable conditions, in some re spects, than ever before, owing largely to the recent purchase of six good pianos and to the advantage afforded by our new music building.” The school has been using the new printing and stenographing machine, and there have been turned out several pro ducts including a music primer in he "point print ” This machine is operated by Mr. Thomas Hughes, a totally blind man. and he has shown much skill and ingenuity in its operation. The kindergarteners, Misses Grow and Newsom, have prepared a phonetic printer, upon the principles laid down in Prof. Moses’ Phonetic Readers, and it has been published in the raised “Line Print” for the blind by the American Printing House for the Blind. The Su perintendent of the printing holts* an nounces it a most excellent production, and it will be used in many other schools for the blind throughout the country. McETCIIERN THROWN AND KILLED.

Now Fern at Durham. | Charlotte at AVilmington. Greensboro met with a shut out yester day in its second game with the Pennant Winners. | When the volcano which burst upon the Greenies had subsided it was to see them annihilated by a score of 8 against 0. Threatening rain did not keep some 100 of the faithful from being out yesterday, and they saw some pretty ball playing and some terrific batting. Greensboro might have done better if its captain, “King" Kelly, had not started the game off with a bad taste, and left his club short of ginger. In spite of his suspension for two days, he was at the grounds in full uniform. A provision of the league rules is that no player is allowed among the spectators ,in uniform. Umpire Proud read the rule ! to the people, but Kelly kept around, and j finally climbed to the scorer's box, where he staid during much of the game. Pitcher Childs, for Raleigh, did mag nificent work, and had “all kinds of speed.” -He kept the Greenies guessing, and only allowed four hits, giving three bases on balls. The Raleigh sluggers “got onto” Pitcher Conneen, and drubbed him for nine hits. Os these a clean three bagger by Soffle and a home un by Kain, ran the enthusiasm up to the boiling point and it sizzed outinlong and loud ap plause. I A splendid feature of the game was the double plays made. There were j five of these and Raleigh had four of i them. Pastor, Soffle and Farrell offi j dating in three, while Hook, Soffle and Farrell took the other. Greensboro had I one on ally caught by Cook in left and throwing to Jones l at third. The game was a speedy one, being played in one hour and fourteen minutes, putting it up in the quick ball game class. It was made speedy, because Raleigh’s infield and outfield did star variety work. Only one duskey little error was scored against the team, and that was simply because a ball thrown in a hurry by Pastor from short, left Farrell two feet to his left. Greensboro was clearly and cleverly outplayed, and at no time had a chance to win from Raleigh, playing as it was. Had the Geensboro team kept down Ral eigh’s runs the game would have been ideal, but the sluggers in the team just hammered the ball into the wherewithal of the whichness. Greensboro opened with McTeer's hit, I who, with two down tried to score when j Jones batted, but ran out of the line | and was out. For Raleigh Pastor led I with a hit, too hot for Jones to handle j and finally scored with two down on Hook's hit In left. Greensboro's next two innings were .three up, three down, a pretty double I being the hoodo in the second. In Ral eigh’s second, with two down, Sherman ' reached first when Cook in left dropped a long high fly, but Childs flew to centre. 1 Raleigh’s third was a blank, a double, Cook to Jongs, doing the work. Greens boro got a hit in the fourth, but it did not materialize Into a run. In Raleigh’s fourth with one down Farrell walked, ad vanced on Smith's single in left and ! scored on Sherman’s hit in right. ! A double and a strike out ended Greensboro’s fifth that began with a hit. In its half Raleigh took three runs. Childs flew to Fox, Pastor walked, Soffle put a hot three bagger to the left of centre, Kain plunked a home run over both fences in left field, Hook and Farrell went out short to first. ' Cook saw first on four balls in Greens boro’s sixth, but that was all. In Ral eigh's half Smith walked, Myers hit in left, Sherman bunted to the pitpher, Who threw too low and left Jack safe, while Smith scored. Childs flew to the Tall Fox, Pastor’s single scored Meyers, after which Soffle fend Kain flow out to short. 1 In the seventh for Greensboro Jones reached first as Pastor threw to the left of Farrell, #mt nobody scored. In Ral eigh’s half with two down. Smith hit to short, who threw wild to first and Smith made the circuit as the ball sailed back over the bleachers. was nothing doing in the eighth, and in the ninth for Greensboro, with one down, and Fox on first after a hit, Jonesi batted to Pastor, who, with Soffle and Kain did the double act, and it was all over.

More Wilsons’ Heard From. Coleraine, N. C., May 1", 1902. To the Editor: There is no use for the Wilsons or Gideonits up the State to 1 try their blame shot down this way. There’s a different breed of Wilsons dowr this way. I have a brother over 90 vears old, a good part of a regiment of boys and Brand boys and every one will vote for Judge Clark. If In a thorough delineation of Judge Clark’s character by Major Wilson only could be found a few lines written* with pencil to a supposed gentleman as private, Judge C lurk n.ust be a very pure man.
