MARKET HOUSE COLLAPSES UN DER LOAD OF ASHES. Flow of Lava From the Volcana Which Hac1 Almost Ceased Rcconv menecs and Work of Devastation Goes On. Naples, April 11. When morning broke the outlook .van promising for an amelioration or the conditions eon tieuuont upon the activity of Mount .Vesuvius. Tim hope fulness of the Iiopulncu, however, was short Uvea, and the Neapolitans wero plunged In to a condition bordering on frenzy by the collapse of the Mount Ollveto mar ket, which covered a plot of ground COO feet Hjjuare, the st ucturo falling upon 200 or more persons, many or whom wero crushed and mangled be yond recognition. The scenes in the vicinity or the ruins wero agonizing, relatives ol' the victims clamoring to bo allowed to go to their dead or dy ing. The number of dead taken from the church at San Gulseppo, which col lapsed while ii congregation of about 1200 persons were attending mass, is 115. There wero seventy-nine Injured. It is reported thnt 500 persons have perished in tho district between Ot tajano and San Gulseppe. Search is being made of the houses nt Ottajano, where ilfty corpses havo nlrendy been found. It is believed that thero uro still many to be re covered. Tho flow of lava from the volcano, which had almost ceased during tho night, recommenced early in the day, and tho fall of volcanic ejecta in the Vesuvius communes has been enor mous. It is foaied that tho weight of ashes on root's will cause the collapse of many more buildings, both here and in the towns and villages nearer tho volcano. The fate 'of the villages and towns around tho volcano seems more hope less. Even with the sun seining high in tho heavens the light was a dim yellow, in the midst of which the few people who remained in the stricken towns, their clothing, hair and beards covered with ashes, moved about In the awful stillness or desolation like gray ghosts. Tho case of Torre del Greco is typical. For thirty hours the placo has been practically de serted, but amid the ruin and semi darkness, illuminated from time to time by vivid Hashes of lightning, a few of tho inhabitants go about hun gry and with throats parched with smoke and dust, seemingly unable to tear themselves away from the ruin: or what so recently were their homes. Communication by rail or tramway Willi Torre del Greco and Torre An lutuxiata is impossible, owing to the cinders, sand and nsh deposits. SOCIALISTS POLAND'S" TERROR. League of Assassins Rules Industries, Threatening Financial Ruin. Warsaw, Poland, March 1). No where throughout tho length and breadth of the czar's empire lias tei rorism readied such a pitch is in Rus sian Poland, where human lite is no longer sate, where ruffians and hooli gans havo gained the upper hand of tho quiet citizen, and where linan .clal ruin, the sure consequence of anarchism, now threatens tho inhabi tants'. - In Poland bomb throwing is of dally occurrence; policemen aro assassinat ed in broad daylight and in crowded streets. Manufacturers nnd other la bor employers are forced to accede to Mieir men's extravagant demands by crowds of armed ruillnns whom tho men call to their aid at every crisis. If an employer declines to be bullied ho Is killed by some mysterious bul let. If he closes his factory he must flee from the country with all speed, otherwise assassination to sure to overtake him. In a word, Poland to day represents such a picture of ter rorism as the world has not seen Klnco tho norrors of tho French revo lution over 100 years ago. The per petrators or these crimes, tho makers of all this trouble, nre, of course, the socialists, and, in Poland at least, that party of socialists commonly known as tho "bund."
