lava crossed the town limits. In 1857 it suf-
fered from one of the earthquakes that are
part of the volcanoes diaboical performances.
The eruption of 1861 delug5d the town with
burning ashes and caused thousands Of dol
lars in damage. But the people smiled and
said it was part Of their fate as Vesuvians,
and then they rebuilt and bothered little
about the pail of black smoke hanging over
the mouth of the crater. But they are terri

Mount VesuVius, owing to its location on
the southwestern shore Of Italy, overlooking
the Bay of Naples, is the most thoroughly
studied volcano in the world. 1t is in the
middle of a densely populated district and
in full view of all the commercial routes
on the Mediterranean, and its eruptions since
the first that is recorded in history have
been open to ~Observation.
The volcano is made up Of two mountain
masses, the higher of which is concal in
form, with a crater at the top. It's altitude
at present about 200 feet above the sea
level, varies with the eruptons, which often
pile up the lava, lifting the summit higher,
and often blow off the whole top, thus re-
ducing the height of the peak. The other
mass is a crescent-shaped ridge, partly sur
rounding the cone, and has extreme alti-
tude of 3, 730. It is known by the name Monte
Somna, and forms part Of the rim of an an
cient crater that measures three miles
across.
OF very ancient eruptions of Vesuvius there
are no records except those of geology. The
volcanic nature of the mountain was evil

mans. In early Roman history 1t is not
mentioned as a volcano, and its fires had

been dormant for so many centuries that
the people about it planted vineyards and
gardens on its outer slopes. The interior Of
its crater was a vast and fertile plain sew
eral miles in width, upon which grew many
varieties of wild vines. Spartacus and his
followers are said to have taken refuge in
this crater where they were beseged and
conquered by a Roman army.
The story Of the great eruption of 70, the
first that is related by history, is more IA
miliar to people in general than that of any
that have since occurred. In the year GO the
land about the mountain was severely
shaken by earthquakes. These were but
the prelude to the terrific explosion and
eruption of the year rs, which covered the
surrounding country with ashes and which
buried the cities Of Herculaneum and Pom
peii so completely that their sites remained
unknown for centuries. After this old Vesu-
vius was silent until 20S. Other explosions
or violent eruptions are recorded as having
occurred in the years 472, 512 685, 1893, 1896
113S, 1906, 1900 and 1851. Other eruptions than
these probably occurred, but were not of suf-
ficient violence to warrant special mention.
From the year 1866 until the present time
VesuYius has been in a state of constant ac-
tivity. The eruptions have been of different
degrees of violence and have caused more
or less damage. The activities of the past
800 years have been confined to the conical
mountain known as VeSuvius, and the
mountain has been built up during that
period by ashes and lava. Monte Somma
has not been active within that time, and
certainly not for many centuries before. The
present eruption promises to be one Of the
most serious in the history Of Vesuvius.

NAPLES, Sept. A.-Frightful misery and
immense damage will be caused if the erup-
ton of Mount sVesuvius continues on the
alarming scale it has reached in the last
few days. Nine new craters were counted
today around the central crater, but even
this extra vent does nothing toward check

marked cessation in the more violent belch-

A panic prevails at Tore del Greco, which
is on the coast, three miles south of Resina.
This place has a population OF q, 900 happy
go-lucky Italians whose greatss1 industry
is selling relics, guiding travellers, telling
lies to Americans and selling naUseous wines.
So great was the terror at Tore del Greco
that Cardinal Frisco, the archbishop of Ma
Piles, with large body of clergy, celebrated
a special open air service and offered up
prayers in which he implOred the Almighty
Vesuvius. Thirty thousand persons attended
the services, coming from the entire Vesuvian
territory.
The oldest inhabitants of Tore del Greco
claim to be able to tell by examining the
quality of the ashes that Vesuvius emits
the length and extent of an eruption. These
old folks have alarmed the people by an
nouncng that the town is in great danger
of destruction. And. indeed, one Of the
lava streams is certainly coming in that di
rection. Nor would it be a new thing for
lava to flow in the streets Of Tore del
Greco. The town was almost wiped out in
1851, and twice in the eighteenth century the

Col. Roosevelt left tonight for his
home in Oyster Bay. Before his de-
parture he said that he had given out
no statement regarding his citizenship
in New York state, for the reason that
he had been unable to see Elihu Root,
who has all the papers, including copies
Of his correspondence with his counsel,
relating to the tax matter. His COR
respOndence, he said would show that
he intended to give up his residence
in this city, but not in Oyster Bay, only
in order to avoid being compelled to
pay taxes in both places. He stated
further that as Mr.. Root is q delegate
to the state convention, that gentleman
may wish to lay the papers before the
convention and not make public state
ment at the present time.

Col. Roosevelt Declines an IRdeden-

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Theodore
Roosevelt tonight issued a statement
in which he declined to accept any
nomination the independents might
offer him. 1t would be an injustice to
his associates he said. The statement
in the form of a letter to John j. Chap
man, follows:
Il hesitate to write you while the indie
pendent nomination has not been formally

me that l would not be acting In good faith
towards my fellow candidates If ! permitted

overthrow, a ticket which cannot be put up
because of objections to the character or fair

SWANK IN MORE TROUBLE.
Contractor Accuses JaiIer Calvin of
Treating Him Brutality.

David Swank a railroad contractor
living at 800 South Exchange street,
through his attorney, John E. Hearn,
yesterday applied at the county at
torney's office for a warrant for the
arrest of Louis J. Calvin, night jailer
at the central police station. County
Attorney Anderson refused to issue the
warrant because Swank did not make
the application in person.
Attorney Hearn claims that Swank
was brutally assaulted in cell in the
station by Calvin, suffering the loss
of a number of teeth and other pain
full bruises. According to the attOr-
neys story, Swank was arrested for
being drunk and disorderly, and, when
Calvin had him alone in his cell, he
pitched into him, knocking him down
and beating him in the face with both
closed fists.
Mayor Kiefer will investigate the
matter.
