'NAPLES FEELS SHOCK
VESUVIUS POTS PEOPLE CF CIT1
IN PANIC.
One Town is Wiped Out No Trace o
Commune that Had 10,000 People
Town of r.O.OOO on Gulf of Naplc :
Ks Been Depopulated.
Naples advices state that hope tha
t. Vesuvius was becoming calm wa ;
dissipated Sunday when the volcam
became more active than ever.
The panic has spread to Naples. Tw <
strong earthquake shocks , which shat
tered windows and cracked the Avail :
of buildings , were experienced Sun
day. The entire population rushed tc
the streets in terror , many persons
crying : "The Madonna has forsaker
us ; the end of the world has come ! '
No trace remains of Boscotrecase , t
commune on the southern declivity oi
the mountain , where up to forty-eight
Tiours ago 10,000 persons lived , and
Terre Annunziata , on the shores ol
the Gulf of Naples one mile to the
southward , is almost surrounded by
the invading lava and has been evac
uated by its 30,000 inhabitants. The
people were brought to Naples bj >
"trains , street cars , military carts and
steamships. Similar means of trans
portation are being employed to bring
away the people from Terre del Gre
co. The police and carbiners are
guai-ding the abandoned houses , and
- several members of the government
also are there.
! !
With the danger and horror of the
situation aside , Vesuvius presents one
of the most splendid sights imagina-
! ble. The mountain of fire , whose
speech is by detonation and whose acts
are destruction , seems like an enraged
giant determined to make the pigmies
of earth feel the might of his wrath.
Here and there on the mountain side
stand the blasted trunks of pine trees ,
their bare branches outstretched as
though in protest against the devas
tation the volcano has wrought.
Breathing is momentarily becoming
more difficult because of the poison
ous fumes and smoke , while the hot
ashes which are still falling tend to
make life a burden.
Contrary to expectation the sea has
i not yet shown signs of being affected
by the phenomena , but fears are en
tertained that tidal1 waves 'may yet
come , and many crafts have put to
sea. Visitors to Naples , are avoiding
the hotels on the sea front and the
people living there are beginning to
leave for higher altitudes.
Though there is much misery up to
Ihe present time there are no fatali
ties except at Portici , whe-e an old
woman died supposedly from fright.

Naples a'dvices state that the erur
tion of Mt. Vesuvius is now most vie
lent.
lent.On
On the Pompeii side the mai
stream of lava has divided into twc
one threatening Ottajano , a c'ommun
of 20,000 inhabitants , and the othe
threatening Terre del Greco , with ;
population of-30,000.
The danger is becoming serious , am
calls have been made for the imme
diate evacuation of Boscotrecase , th
nearest village to the crater , which ha
a population of 9,060.
The Inhabitants of the vllllages ii
the vicinity of Mt. Vesuvius are in i
condition bordering on panic. Man :
homes have been abandoned for thi
open air , although there has been j
thick fog all day and the atmosphen
has been thick with volcanic ashe :
and the fumes of subterranean fires
The churches are crowded day am
night with people praying for .deliver
ance from an impending peril , mani
festations of which are heard and fel
in explosions which resemble a heavj
cannonading and in the tremblings o :
the earth which are constantly recur
ring.
ring.The
The main stream of lava proceeding
from Vesuvius is 200 feet wide and i :
rises at times at the rate of twenty-
one feet a minute , the intense heat de
stroying vegetation before the strearr
reaches it.
The population of Boscotrecase , or
the southern declivity of the moun
tain , have sought safety In flight , anc
Bosco Reale , to the eastward , is alsc
threatened. Women of this village ,
weeping with fright , carried a statu
of St. Anne as near as they could gc
to the flowing lava , imploring a mira
cle to stay the advance of the con
suming stream.
The cemetery at Boscotrecase has
been invaded by lava. The scene al
night is one of mingled grandeur and
horror , as from the summit of Vesu
vius there leaps a. column of flre fully
1,000 feet in height , the glare light
ing the sky and sea for many miles.
Occasionally great masses of molten
stone , some weighing as much as a
ton , are ejected from the crater. '

ern shore , stated that the colonial
cruiser Fiona has been dispatched to
the scene with proper officials on
board to enforce the local fisheries
laws against all offenders.
For some weeks American fishing
vessels havs > been trawling inshore.
The Americans claim they are not
subject to the local fishery laws , and
following the example they have set
the Canadian and colonial trawlers
have invaded the three-mile limit.
PREPARED FOR DEATH.

Before He Started on Journey.
A New York special says : Paul Noc-
quet , the young aeronaut who died on
Long Island beach , where he was lost ,
exhausted after an apparently safe
landing in a balloon Tuesday night ,

A letter was found in a pocket of
his clothing Thursday giving com
plete directions as to the disposition to
be made of his property in case he
was found dead.
TROUBLE FEARED IN MOSCOW.
Strong Force of Cossaeks in the In
dustrial Quarter.
The political prisoners with whom
the Moscow jails are crowded , have
leclared a "hunger strike" ( refusing
: o partake of food ) to compel the au-
Lhorities either to bring them to im-
nediate trial or order their release.
This decision has increased the ex-
jitement caused by the election cam-
mign. Strong detachments of Cos
sacks are patrolling the industrial
luarters.
Prefers Death to Idleness.
After spending all day at the heaoT-
luarters of his union , where he learn-
: d there was no prospect of a settle-
nent of the building trades strike ,
Fohn McMann , a St. Louis stone ma-

MAY NOT ARBITRATE.
Operators Inclined to Reject Miners
Plan.
A New York special says : Ilavinj
failed to come to an agreement amonj
themselves the hard coal miners o
Pennsylvania , through their represent
atives , Thursday proposed to the op
erators that all matters in dispute b (
referred to a board of arbitratior
i for settlement , the tribunal to be composed -
{ posed of the board of conciliatior
which was created by the award o1
the anthracite strike commission Sr
1903 , with Judge George Gray , oi
| Delaware , or any person he may appoint -
| point as chairman and umpire. If the
operators accept the proposition and
a convention of mine workers ap
proves the plan the 160,000 men now
idle in the anthracite fields will return
to Avork at once *
While it has been reported for sev
eral days that the miners might ask
that the differences be arbitrated the
proposition made to the mine owners
Thursday came to them as a great
surprise , as they did not believe the
union leaders were ready to leave the
controversy to a third party at this
time.
That the operators will accept the
miners' proposal as submitted is not
generally believed ; in fact , it is inti
mated they may flatly refuse the offer
on the ground that the existing con
ditions are the result of arbitration.
The employers have decided to con
sider the miners' latest move and
promise to give President Mitchell
and his men an answer on Monday ,
when another meeting of the two sub
committees will be held in New York.
The idle anthracite miners ask that
the conciliation board created by the
strike commission act as arbitrators
with Judge George Gray , of Delaware ,
or any person he may appoint as-
chairman and umpire. If the opera
tors agree to the plan and it is ap
proved by the convention of miners ,
operations in the hard coal fields will
be resumed at once. The operators
do not look with favor on the plan ,
but will give their answer to the min
ers Monday.
Reports from various sections of
the soft coal regions show that condi
tions in these fields are improving.
There was more coal mined in that
territory than on any day since the
strike begun. The production of coal ,
however , is not as large as was ex-
pected.
ERUPTIONS ARE ALARMING.
Great Streams of Lava Pour Out of
Vesuvius. /
Naples advices state that the erup
tion of Mt. Vesuvius is assuming alarming
ingproportions. . Five streams of burn
ing lava are descending the mountain ,
threatening everything below. Roar
ing explosions are head for twenty
miles around.
The inhabitants of the small villages
near the crater are escaping , -while
processions of villagers carrying im
ages of saints and madonnas and
praying for the cessation of the erup
tion are passing through the neigh
boring to-vns. Smoke and ashes are
carried so far that all Naples is sprin
kled with cinders. The Neapolitans
are not alarmed ; in fact , they say
they are glad , saying the new eruption
Df Vesuvius is in preparation for the
arrival of King Edward , who is ex.
pected there soon.

Referee in Grain Suits Intcrprctatioi
of Law Involved Not Likely to B <
Had Until a Case is Presented t <
Court.
The supreme court met Tuesda :
and some very interesting and impor
tant matters 'affecting the state cami
up. The most important , insofar a :
the entire state is concerned , of course
was the grain case. The court an
nounced it will name a referee to tak <
testimony in these cases. Attorney
General Brown , as soon as the cour
signifies its intention to act in accord
ance with his suggestion , recommend
ed the appointment of Judge Calkins
of Kearney , to be the referee. So fai
the attorneys for the grain men hav <
made no recommendation.
The recent decision handed down bj
'the court in this case merely overruled
the demurrer to the petition- the
attorney general. At the time the de
cision was made it was the general
understanding of lawyers the court
had upheld all of the anti-trust laws ,
including the criminal clause , but af
ter a careful study of the opinion , both
the attorney general and the lawyers
for the defendants say they do not
know what the court meant and each
has asked for an interpretation. Each
side wants the court to tell what laws
are constitutional before the introduc
tion ft testimony. The court has fre-
'quently held it will not pass on any
question which has not been raised
in the case , or , in other words , it is
the opinion of lawyers that if an opin
ion is wanted on the constitutionality
of the anti-trust laws , the only way
it can be secured is for some one to
be tried under the provisions of the
laws.
The attorneys for the Nye-Snyder-
Fowler Company , in a brief filed re
cently , claim it will take about twen
ty-one years to get all the evidence in
and it sets up this argument to get the
court to pass on the laws before the
'evidence is taken. It has been said
the criminal clause can easily be test
ed by having one of the grain dealers
arrested under its provisions and try
him. Then the matter would be
brought directly before the court.

FIXD FORGOTTEX SCAFFOLD.
Hangman's Structure Raked Out c
Grand Island Court Attic.
An tjld scaffoffld , covered wit
dust and cobwebs , but all complet
for its grewsome use , has just bee ;
discovered in the attic of the old cour
house at Grand Island , which is bein ,
torn down. Everybody had forgotte :
that the scaffold had been stored
but a few old residents can recall th
one time it was used. It was bull
years ago in Grand Island especiall ;
for the hanging of a certain Georg
Hart , who In a fight in a saloon ha <
murdered a man named Cress.
The rope had been adjusted and thi
moment had almost arrived for th <
condemned man to be led out of hi :
cell when a reprieve came from th <
governor , who finally commutec
Hart's sentence to life imprisonment
After that the scaffold was taken t (
pieces and lay for years unusued ir
the attic. Then the authorities o :
Custer County borrowed the scaffolc
for the hanging of a murderer. This
Is the first and only time that the grin-
structure has been put to actual use
Since its return from Custer Countj
the pieces of the scaffold have lair
forgotten in the old Grand Island
court house attic. Now that they have
again been brought to light , they will
probably be kept on account of theli
historic associations.

explosion set fire to the car , but the
fire was quickly extinguished by use
of buckets and water in adjacent
ditches.
The wreck was caused by spreading
rails , but the engine remained on the
track and ran ahead. The engineer ,
