TIE LAST DAYS OF PoMPEIL
The History of the City Which VIII be
Destroyed ia savannah


Destroyed ia savannah
The initial preparations for the spectacle,
The Last Days Of Pompsii." which viii be
given IN Savannah during Merchants
week, are in progress. In connection with
the representation OF the ancient ciey1s de-
struction, brief sketch of Pompeii is given.
The city had, at the time Of it's overthrow,
a population Of %, 900 TO $4,000. After
the great earthquake Of 63, A D., the city
was rebuilt in the Roman style, composed
Of Greek and Italian elements. Pompeil is
mentioned in history for the first time in B.
Z. $40, but its monuments, the wall Of the
town and the so-called Greek temple, clearly
prove it to be Of much greater antiquity
Founded by the Oscars, il soon became i'm
bued with the elements of Greek civiliza-
ton. Being situated near the SEA, on an
ancient volcanic eminence, it carried on
extensive commerce with the inland towns
by means of the nayigable river Sarnus
The sea and the river were separated from
the town by subsequent coLvulslons of
nature.
Pompeii was once the fayorite resort of
Romans who owned great estates in the
vicinity. In A. d. 63 a fearful earthquake
occurred, evidencing the reawakened
activity of Vesuvius, which had been
quleScent for centuries, and great part Of
Pompeii, its temples, colonnades, theaters
and private dwellings were destroyed. A
new town was created more on the style of
imperial Rome, but it was not long-Aug.
"a, A. d. 79-before it was overtaken by
the final catastrophe which Pain so wildly
illustrates. The first premonItory symptoms
were q shower of ashes, which covered the
town TO depth of three feet, allowing the
inhabitants time to escape. Many OF them,
however, returned, some doubtless to re-
kh,IW-
fear and uncertain what course to pursue.
The whole number Of those who persisted
is estimated at 1000. The ashes were fol-
lowed by q shower OF red-hot rapilli or
fragments Aof pGnioe stone, which COW
cred the town 70 depth OF from seven to
eight feet, and was succeeded by fresh
showers of ashes and again by rapilli
Subsequent eruptions buried the ancient
city until it was entirely LIST to view.
During the middle ages Pompeii was en-
tirely unknown. It was discovered by
Fontana, an architect. in 1892, who,
while constructing subterrauean
water conduit, intersecSed the walls.
In 174S the attention of Charles III.
was attracted to the buried city, and he
caused excavations TO be made, when the
amphitheater, theater and other parts were
discovered. Under the Bourbons the ex-
cavatious were continued, and numerous
valuable relics were obtained, which are in
the museum at Naples to-day, as well as In
the museum at Pompeii. Nearly 100000
square yards Of the old town have been ex-
cavated, and are now daily inspected by
thousands from all parts of the world.
Mr.. Pain in his spectacle seeks to repre-
sent the destruction OF Pompeii. The city
is built upon the shores Of an artificial lake,
and back of it 10 Vesuvius, from whose era
ter are thrown the elements of destruction
which wiped out the city.

REFERRED TO THE POLICE.
Loud Complaints About the Disorde
in York Street Lane.

Loud Complaints About the Disorder
in York Street Lane.
81 would like to know" said gentleman
yesterday, whether York street lane, from
Habersham to Houston, is a part Of Sa-
vannah or a separate municipality, and IL
the latter, it should be annexed"
The remark was OF such a strange char
acter that MORNING NEWS representative
asked for an explanation. well" said the
gentleman, IF 1t is a portion of the muni>
cipality the police should pay little at
tention to it and endeavor to treak up the
disgraceful orgies and almost nightly fights
which take place there. The lane is popu-
lated with negro women OF the
lowest type. and they carry on in
about whatever manner suits their
fancy, without any apparent Interference
by the police, although it is almost within
the shadow of the barracks. Saturday
night about 10 o'clock gang of women got
into a row, and for two hours it was kept
up, the participants meanwhile using the
most blood-curdling oaths and ribald Ian
guage. They did not desist until tired out,
and although the disturbance was Of such
character as to be heard for blocks
around, it went on undisturbed
With whom the fault lies for this state of
affairs know not, but l do think in JUS
tice to the respectable residents of neigh
boring streets the police authorities should
take some steps to abate this nuisance"
The complaint of the gentleman is a we'll
founded one. The MORNING NEWS has on
several occasions called attention to the
locality, and the disgraceful scenes that
take place there, but it seems only to have
had the effect of giving temporary relief.

The Way He Quelled an Incipens Riot
With Nickel.
"You gimme my money. You gimme
my money"
The neighborhood at the corner of South
Broad and Lincoln streets was aroused
from its Sunday afternoons sleep yester-
day by the EXPLANATIONS which filed the
air with such plaintive plesdings that it
brought everybody's attention to bear upon
a group Of small negroes quarreling in the
street. One boy had evidently seized a
nickle from the other, who had just earned
it in the occupation In which he was won't
to 'shine."
AS is generally the case in matters of this
kind, about q dozen negro women dropped
their dishrags and rushed into the street to
take hand, or mouth, in the little misun-
Outstanding. In a few minutes confusion
was supreme, and riot seemed inevitable.
A young negro dude, who was passing
just then, was attracted by the outbreak.
He quietly walked over TO where the
urchlus were arguing as to the rightful
ownership of the mick" Every one thought
that he was a private detective, who In
tended to arrest the principals or pugllist
who would wipe them out of existence In a
fifty" He deliberately put his hand In his
pocket, and pulling out q scent piece handed
it to the boy who was complaining, aud
told both of them to go about to cir business.
The peacemaker left the boys to make up.
They passed d few more epithets before
parting, however. and renewed their quar-
rel around the block, where they met again,
and at last accounts they were waiting for
another philosopher to add another nlckle
to their finances so that they could "whack

Surprising Information Collected by
1T. Petersburg Census Takers.
From the Net1 York Continent
The census of st. Petersburg has just been
taken, but the results cannot as yet be made
public. In general the people behaved cour-
teously toward the census takers, but some
instances of peculiar Observation-Disclosures oc-
Cured. House owners and shopkeepers
who see in every inquiry made by govern
ment agents a prospect of increased taxa
ton or of new restrictions, tried to bride the
census takers not to write them down in
their books.
The regulations prescribed that newborn
children not christened should be marked
down in the names of their mothers When
the census takers began their questions to
that effect the common people regarded it
as an attempt to get at "the skeleton 10 the
closet, and maltreated the interrogators.
A 'lady of culture" who filled out the
blank of the census taker, with her own
hand, wrote down in answer to the ques-
tions. ''Wbat is your native tongueP "a
and Arabians;" "Where were you bornp'
"On the terrestrial globe" "How old are
you?" Five years." etc. The word poll
signifies both "sex" and floor" An officer
of the army, in answer to the question,
What poll (sex)w wrote down, 1.-The danc-
ing floor by preference. But such misun-
derstandings and naughty jokes" as the
Russian press says, were comparatively
few, and the census pro misses TO be quite
complete.

charges was covered with blood.
Sheftall was as dumb as an oyster about
the affair, and gave no reason for his MUIR
derous assault. jackson said he was going
home quietly, when he was met by Sheftall,
who was apparently under the influence of
liquor. lie stepped one side to let Sheftall
pass, when, without a WORD of warning, the
negro turned suddenly on him with a vollsy
Of oaths and plunged a knife into his arm.
