Kingston, Jamaica.--The awful de­ vastation caused by the earthquake becomes more apparent as time passes. Without warning the earth began to shake and tremble at 3:30 Monday afternoon The shocks, which came from the westward, lasted exactly 36 seconds. The whole city rocked like a ship in a choppy sea, and buildings reeled and fell eastward. A dense cloud of dust rose and enveloped Kingston in semi-darkness. The shocks were most destructive along the harbor, front, where entire streets were leveled. Crowds of frightened,, shrieking people streamed northwards towards the race course, hundreds with heads and bodies cut and bruised, covered with blood Those who es­ caped with slight injury reported that large numbers of persons were buried under the fallen stores and tene­ ments.

The fire raged all night and ultimately spent its force Tues­ day forenoon. The buildings In the upper portion of the city were uninhabitable and the residents sought refuge in the public parks or on lawns adjoining .. th* wrecked homes. ^ , Terre Haute,* Ind.--Twenty-three charred, broken and mutilated bodies have been taken from the smoldering ruins of the passenger train No. 3 on the Big Four railroad which was de­ stroyed by the explosion of a carload of powder as it pissed a freig7.it train at Sandford, Ind., nine miles west of here, Saturday nigUt. The number ot injured will total at least 35. The cauie of the disaster has not been fully explained. The result was terrible. The shock <was felt for 30 miles, many believing It an, earth­ quake. s Entire Train Destroyed. The three coaches of the pa&senger tralr wei« filled. The entire train, in­ cluding ll'P engine, was blown from the track, the coaches demolished, the engine hurled 50 feet and the pas­ sengers either blown to pieces, con­ sumed by fire or rescued ic a more or less injured condition. At least 30 injured, some fatally, are at the hospitals in Terre Haute and Paris, 111. Several are also being cared for at Sandford. The full extent of the disaster was revealed at daylight Sunday morning, but the death list will not be com­ plete until workmen now clearing the debris, have finished their task. The dead, so far as known, are: William Thompson, Sandford, Ind.; Wm. Davis, Vermillion, 111.; J. W. ! Sutherland, Paris, 111.; John Franklin, Ashmore, 111.; A. D. Hector, Elbrldge, HI.; Chas.

Missing and believed to have been burned to death:! Mrs. .Bud Wolfe, Sandford, Ind.; two daughters of Mrs. Wolfe, aged eight and six years, re­ spectively. Theories of the' Cause. According to trainmen of the freight, the explosion of the powder was caused by the concussion made by the passing passenger train, which was slowing down for the station at Sand­ ford. Another theory is that gas es­ caping from an oil pipe line nearby entered the car containing the powder and a spark from the passing engine ignited the gas. The belief was expressed by one or two persons that the disaster was due to the act of a tramp or an intoxicated man who may have fired a shpt Into the car. Not a home in Sandford escaped. Windows were shattered, dishes and furniture broken,' and in some In­ stances doors were torn from their hinges.. The train was an accommodation passenger, running from Indianapolis to Mattoon, 111., and was destroyed at 8:50 p. xm. It was a dark night and heavy rains had converted the streets and tracks at Sandford into a sea of mud and water. As the passenger engine went by the powder car of the freight train standing on an adjoining track the explosion came. Noble Work of Citizens. By the light of the burning coaches the people of Sandford did their best for the injured. The residents of the village threw open their homes to the injured and worked heroically all night. ' Cries of the injured and the crack­ ling of the fierce flames greeted the rescuers, who worked frantically, but soon were forced back by the terrible heat One of the first men. taken out was L. F. Rose, of Mattoon, 111., engineer of maintenance of way of the Big Four railroad. His leg was broken and he was severely bruised. He was carried to the home of Cf E. Marrs, 200 feet away. Although the house had been partly destroyed by the ex­ plosion, it was converted into an emergency hospital. Soon Mrs. Rose was brought in, painfully bruised, but rallied to assist in the care of her husband until she collapsed from, ner­ vous shocks Others were pulled from the ruins as the flames advanced. As men frantically threw their strength to the work of disentangling the human forms from the wreck, the women of Sandford cared for the Injured. When the Are drove the rescuers away they waited till the heat permitted and then resumed the work of dragging out the charred bodies As the fire burned down to a smouldering pile JAMAICA SCENE OF DI8A8TERS. Fats Has Pursued the Island by Hur­ ricane and Quake. Jamaica has been the scene of may catastrophes of nature, both by torm and earthquake. A great earth- •ake visited the island in 1892, de- abmying Port Royal, when out of Iffr teases only 200 were left stand- Ipg. It was this catastrophe that led the founding of Kingston. In 178S Kingston had a fire which destroyed property to the value of 12,500,000, and in 1843 another fire caused dam- 000. A tremenduous hurricane, visited the island in 1815. The whole island was destroyed, hundreds ot houses were washed away, vessels were wrecked and about 1,000 persons were drowned. In August, 1880, a cyclone passed over the eastern half of Jamaica, de­ stroying nearly all the wharves In the harbor of Kingston and also caused in thi much damage to the shipping harbor. In August, 1903, Jamaica was swept age to the amounut of about $15,000,-. by a hurricane which almost totally destroyed Port Antonio and inflicted damage in various parts of the island amounting to about $10,000,000.

Jar­ red of Mattoon, 111., who were in charge of the engine on the passen­ ger train, were thrown into tfcie air, hurled a distance of nearly 100 feet anil fell in a murtriv field. The explosion and fire destroyed telegraphic communication, and Sand­ ford with Its victims was alone for hours. The first news to reach here from the wreck came by those who walked the distance to secure help. Relief trains with physicians and sup­ plies were started at once. Seven of the injured are in the hospital here, and 22 Injured were taken to Paris, 111, for care. The wreckage was oleated up Sun­ day evening and traffic was resumed over the road. Story of Eye-Witness. C. E. Marrs, Who lived near and whose house was turned into a hos­ pital, said: "I was standing In my yard when I suddenly heard a terrible sound. It seemed to rend the air. All at once what looked like balls of fire went whirling into the air high above the trees. -• _ ^ "I went qver to Where I heard screaming There was a terrible scene. I never saw anything like it. People were running around, the place wringing their hands like crazy per- sonfe.1 The wreck was already in a blaze I could hear screams coming from the wreck.

Fowler, Ind.' -- A most horrible railroad wreck occurred on the Big Four railway a quarter of a mile east qf this station at 2:15 Sat­ urday morning. Queen City special No. 38, which left Chicago at 11:30 Friday night, going at the speed of 50 ripes an hour, crashed head-on into a west-bound freight and at,least 13 lives were sacrified. The tender of No. 38 In front of the day combina­ tion coach crashed into It and reduced It to splinters. The coach caught fire and a high wind from the southwest fanned th'e flames. Inside of half an hour many bodies were cremated. Partial List of Victims. A partial list of the dead follows: Higgender, E. J., Indianapolis; con­ ductor of the passenger train. Mc- Gee, J., baggageman of the passenger train. Minor, Henry, fireman ^jf freight train. Outcalt, Henry, Cincin­ nati; fireman of the passenger train. Shannon, John, 350 Potomac avenue, Chicago. Owing to the dense fog the engineer of the Big Four flyer was unable to see the light on the semaphore, which directed him to stop, as a westbound freight had the right of way. The train dispatcher, knowing that the dense fog would prevent the train­ men from seeing the block signal, went outside and waved his lantern frantically and fired at least half a dozen shots from his revolver, but the trakimen went crashing by with their train and a moment later the crash cama The firemen of both trains were killed instantly, but the engineer* escaped by jumping. The report of the collision was heard all over town. Fire bells and whistles called the peo­ ple to the aid of the injured. Immediately following the crash the wreckage caught fire and the bodies were burned before they could be ex­ tricated from the ruinsi The heat of the burning cars was so intense that the would-be rescuers could not get near enough to help. The injured and some of the dead were taken to Kan­ kakee, 111., on the private car of Vice President Schaff, which was not de­ railed. Mrs. Schaff was fn the private car, but was not injured.

After the firBt potato lesson, says Mrs. Mary Williams, instructor in do­ mestic science, the girls have learned what mistakes are commonly made in the cooking of this,, vegetable and how to avoid such: mistakes. They will not serve potatoes that are soggy and waxy Instead of mealy. They kfcow that {KftatoMNphould be left un­ covered to allow the Ifteam to escape, Instead of recendenstng and soaking Into the starch. ~ \f\ The practical work to the Second lesson on potatoes has to do with va­ rious ways of serving this vegetable. Potatoes appear on the table so often that this variety in serving Ss most important. The girls learn that with little trouble and expense they can prepare creamed potatoes^ equal to those served In the finest hotels. The use of starch in thickening liquids for sauces and gravies is explained when making white sauce for the creamed potatoes. The important point in this is to keep the starch from lump­ ing when it is used as a thickening material. There are three ways by which the lumping may be avoided. First, by mixing the starch with a lit­ tle cold water before adding It to the hot mixture; second, by rubbing the starch with tbe butter or other fat before adding the liquid; third, by mixing starch and sugar together. Before leaving the subject of pota­ toes it will probably be of value to housekeepers (who dearly love reci­ pes) to give some potato recipes which are used in public school classes. Creamed Potatoes.--Cut freshly boil­ ed or cold boiled potatoes into one- half-inch cubes, put them into a sauce­ pan, nearly cover them with milk, and cook gently until nearly all the mtlk Is absorbed. Add .white sauce, stir for one minute, sprinkle with finely- cut parsley and serve. White Sauce (for Vegetables.)--But­ ter, two tablespoonfuls; salt, one-fialf teaspoonful; flour, two tablespoon­ fuls; pepper, one-eighth teaspoonful; milk, one cupful. Rub the but- ter and flour together with a spoon In1 a small saucepan. Add the milk and stir steadily over a moderate heat until the sauce boils. Add salt and pepper. For richer white Bauce us« part cream. Cream sauce is white sauce made with all cream Instead of milk. Use one and one-half teaspoon- fuls of flour to one cupful of cream. Mashed Potatoes.--Mash potatoes In the saucepan in which they were cooked, using a fork or a wire pota­ to masher. When free from lumps add one-third cupful of scalded milk in which has been heated one table- spoonful of butter, one-half tea­ spoonful of salt, and one-eighth tea­ spoonful of white pepper. Beat all together until light antt creamy. Heap in a dish without smoothing the top, or it may be put into a baking dish, the top brushed with milk and browned in a hot oven. Riced Potato.--Press boiled pota­ toes through a strainer or vegetable press into a hot dish. Serve pota­ toes uncovered. ir *v i A JsS Mlneworkers Are Enjoined.

Anyone who has broiled knows how hard it Is to cook it through without burning outside, so wish they would try this way: Split and wash chicken and put in a shal­ low pan with a little water in it and place in hot oven for about half an hour; then put on broiler and brown well on both sides; take the water in pan and make a butter gravy over chicken; serve hot Steamed Eggs. ' Have a cup containing one-half spoonful of butter, setting in a dish of boiling water.
