The delegates from Knno township to the
democratic county convention will meet to
night at 8 o'clock nt the court house to
place In nomination a township ticket. Sev
eral things Indicate that there may be some
what ot a lively time nt the meeting , ns
the fight over the delegation from the Second
end precinct of the Second ward will ot a
necessity be Injected Into the meeting. At
the county convention the contest was tem
porarily compromised by allowing the two
delegations halt \otes. This was done as
the township nominations over which the
split occurred were not before the conten
tion. Tonight , however , It will be a different
story nnd yesterday the street talk was tc
the effect that both delegations will Insist
on being seated with full votes. Ambrose
Burke'a candidacy for Justice of the peace
Is what makes the trouble. The delegation
headed by Jason Lewis , the precinct chair
man , Is opposed to rcnomlnntlng Burke ,
while the delegation headed by Police Ser
geant Tom Comte are pledged to Burke ,
If Burke falls to got the nomination to
night ho will be put In the field by the pop
ulists on their township ticket.
The delegates will not lack timber tonlghl
from which to select their nominees , as there
are flvo candidates and possibly more foi
Justice of the peace ard six for constable
The candidates for justice of the peace nro
L. Swearlngcn , W. W. Cowncs , Ambrose
Burke , Cal Maynard and 0. H. Lucas.
The six candidates already In the field foi
the two nominations for constable are :
Charles Marthal , Jim Stephenson , Johr
Hlnklc , Mlko Egan and Ed Brooks. The
latter Is said to be slated for ono of the
nominations. '
Paul Aylesworth , it Is said , will bo th <
nominee , us he was two years ago , for town
ship clerk , but no names have been men
tioned so far for township trustee or as
sessor for Kane outside.

KINGSTON , Jamaica , Sept. 23. Mall advices -
vices \\hlcli reached hero today broUEhl
melancholy relief to the suspense regardlnf
the full extent of the fearful hurrlcam
disaster nt the Islands of St. Vincent , St
Lucia nnd Darbadoes , showing -the first ac
counts were not exaggerated. At St. Vln-
cent about 300 lives have been lost , nol
counting the loss of life suffered throuRr
the loss of shipping. The coast Is strewr
with the wrecks of vessels , many of whlcl
were from tlarbadoes.
The storm raged from 10 a. m Sunday
September 11 , until 2 o'clock In the after
noon , completely wrecking the Island. AI
the capital , Kingston , fully 200 houses wen
demolished , whllo the suburbs , CoxheaU
and Montebello , were obliterated. Amonj
the principal buildings destroyed are th <
Anglican and Catholic churches , the flm
now hospital nnd Fort Charlotte. All thi
public buildings \\ero moro or less injured
Cloudbursts from the mountains caused a :
much ruin. Throughout the Island the de
struction was on n wholesale scale , not onlj
the estates and buildings being razed but
cultivation being obliterated. The following
towns nnd villages were destroyed : Host
Place , Grand Sable , Arnosvale , Mouni
Pleasant , Argyle , Wallllabo , Barroualllo
Layon and Duccament and the second city
Georgetown , was considerably damaged.
St. Lucia suffered mostly from rain nnc
landslides , the dclugo lasting ten hours. Cu
Do Sac nnd Rousseau valleys , the centen
of the cano and cocoa cultivation , were con
verted Into lakes and partly filled wltl
debris from the mountains , which ruined
the crops , while many plantations wcr <
wrecked. Serious damage was sustained ai
Mornetnbno , which precipitated nn nvalancht
three miles long , covering HID valley to the
width of a mile and overwhelming Ruby am
a couple of other estates. Similar ava
lanches partly destroyed the Diamond , Pear
and Snn Jacques plantations. The city o !
Castries sulfored chlelly from a tidal wave
which swept over half the town and wrecked
n portion of Bay street. Thirteen lives were
lost. The full extent of the dnmngo has nol
been computed , but It Is Incomparably les :
than at St. Vincent The hurricane atrucli
Barbndocs and sncpt away 10,000 houses ant
damaged many more. This left three-quar
ters of the Inhabitants homeless. O\er 10 (
people were killed so far as known. Th <
city of Bridgetown was partially destroyed
nnd the suburbs of St. Michael and Belle-
villD were entirely demolished All the bhlp-
ping wns wrecked or blown out to sea.
In the country the desolation Is nwful
owing to the destruction ot the provlslor
grounds on which the population depended
Whllo all the parishes suffered the great
est distress Is In St. Michael , Christ ChurcJ :
and St. Philip All -tho sugar estates arc
damaged and many of them are completely
wrecked But , whllo the culthatlon of cane
has suffered the cane has not been totally
ruined as at first reported , the damage nol
exceeding one-fifth of the crop.
The total estimated damage besides the
IOES from the cano crop and provisions It
about $1,500.000 at Darbadoes.

Lawrence W. Llttlg may remain In th
medical department of the Stare unlverslt
as professor , but If ho docs ho will hav
no pupils to lecture to. In fact , ho has n
moro now than ho can count on the finger
of ono hand.
It Is an old fight between the medlct
students and an unpopular teacher. It bega
last spring when tlio junior students handc
In a petition to the board of regents of th
university asking for the remo\al of Dr. Lit
tig. This petition was signed by twenty c
the class and preferred the charge o' tin
professional conduct against the doctor. I
this petition the students set forth three In
stances of Improper conduct :
" 1. A dog entered the lecture room nn
caused great merriment. Dr. Llttlg quote
the lines of the poet that the moro ho sai
of men and dogs , the moro bo thought c
dogs.
" 2. The parents ot one of the patient
under Dr. Ltttlg's care In the hospital be
came dissatisfied with the mode of treatmeu
nnd rcmo\cd their ctUJ | to another has
pltnl.
" 3. At one tlmo In the clinic Dr. Llttl
used Improper words In speaking of a lad
patient. "
The regents , after considering the mattei
dismissed the doctor from his position , Au
gust 24 , but ho was afterward reinstate
when his brother professors appeared befor
the board and presented the facts In a dlf
ferent light. Ills reinstatement was for
year , or until "tho first well-establlshe
charge should bo brought. "
The students were not satisfied with th
decision and worked among their slabsmatc-
with the result that only twenty-five out o
a class of slxty-ono appeared at the unl
verslty this fall. Of these twenty refuse
to register unless the doctor was dismissed
They held an Indignation meeting an
drafted telegrams , n copy for each membe
of the executive committee of the boar
of regents and ono for Governor Shaw , i
committee went to the house of I'reslden
Schaeffer and tried to Induce him \o slg
these messages. The men were icfuscd a :
Interview , so they signed the telegiams
