yESUVfUS.

The eruption of the volcano Vesuvius
Is now a serious menace to the population
of Naples and the surrounding villages,
and great uneasiness is felt concerning
the angry moods of the historic noun
tain.
For some weeks past Vesuvius has been
very threatening. and within the last few
days the volcano which al first merely
excited public interest, has caused the
gravest apprehension. Frightful misery
and immense damage will be caused If
the eruption continues, for already the
flow of lava has been great. Nine new
craters have recently opened around the
central crater, but these additional aper-
lures do nothing toward checking the
fiery torrent which the volcano is belch-
ing forth. The lava near the main
crater, which has width of half a mile
is dividing into three principal streams,
each from seventy to eighty yards wide.
And these as they pour streaming down
the mountains side again subdivide into
numerous smaller streams. They advance
at the rate of forty yards an hour,
submerging everything in their path and
soaring the vegetation like molten fire.
That some grand subterranean dstur-
bance is now in progress at the base of
the mountain is very evident, though
mono can vouchsafe a prediction as to
how long it will continue or when it will
abate In many places earthquakes are
distinctly felt and the ground is sub
siding. Deep rumblings and internal ex-
plosions add to the fears of the people.
The meteorological observatory on the
part of the volcano known as Mount
Contaroni IS in the greatest possible
danger. One great stream of lava now
creeping toward it will certainly over
whelm it unless diverted from its course.
Vesuvus now presents a picture of in
describable beauty at night, and thou
sands OF travellers from all parts OF
Europe are fiocking to see it. The pictu-
rescue Neopoltans, though celebrated in
song and story. are. like most other
people never forgetful of the mighty
dollar, and the existing state of affairs
would greatly delight their souls were it
not for the danger which threatens their
lives and property.

CROQUET.

A croquet tournament Is now in pro-
cress In Washington, and large number
Of persons, skilled in this eminently re-
spectacle game. are cohtesting for honors.
The great trial Of skill will continue
throughout the week, and III separate
games will be played AS the days have
begun to shorten, and as croquet games
are nothing, If not long. it has been ar
ranged to play some OF them at night,
and electric lights will be provided for
the purpose Nearly all of the contest
ants are experts with the mallet, and
though we ourselves have never been
frenzied with excitement over croquet
we Judge that the Washington public will
DO afforded an excellent opportunity TO
see the sport at its best.
The finest playing so far has been done
by a 17-year-old youth. who had as his
opponent a man well on in middle age.
In one game the older player did not
once have the balls, and consequently
failed TO make a single wicket. His OPP
ponent won by simply knocking the balls
around the court and through the proper
wickets-a very easy achievement when
you know how to do it.
Croquet occupies a dignifed-almost a
prudish-position among outdoor sports,
and throughout this section it is looked
upon rather as a last resort. At the
Virginia watering-places It is an old
"standby," but when people play at it one
can generally set them down as bored.
At any rate, the game does not generate
rowdyism, profanity, and discord, as do
baseball, football, and other liveier
sports. And those skilled in croquet say
that II requires generalship and tudg-
ment, and equally as much skill as bill
lizards.
The game, be IT fast or slow. has a
family tree, SO TO speak, which might
well give the blush to baseball. Some
thing very much like it was played in
Languedoc, an ancient division Of France,
as early as the thirteenth century. It
was called pall-mall. And the gNy and
frivolous Stuarts likewise enjoyed this
game in the Merry England of their day.
Miss Macnaughton, the daughter of an
Irish nobleman, is said 10 have first in
troduced croquet into Great Britain
about fifty years ago, but its exact his
tory appears to be doubtful.

HANOVER FINANCES
In Good COndition-WIu of Barton
Denton.

ASHLAND, VA, September H.-(Spe-
ciai.)-The Board of Supervisors Of Han
over made their annual settlement with
Treasurer W. z. Shelton yesterday. The
balance TO the credit of the county was
$7,7990, of which about 1880 was re-
ceived from the direct tax fund, under an
act which provides that after a num-
Der of years the balance unclaimed was
to revert to the general treasury of each
county. The accounts Of the Treasurer
were all balanced and found correct. The
county now has about $500 of bonds out
standing, which will be retired i'm the near
future. The levy was fixed at 40 cents,
against 45 cents as Of last year. The ex-
hibit is exceedingly gratifying TO our
citizens and taxpayers
The will of Barton Denton was pro-
bated to-day. The estate is estimated to
be worth from $4,000 to $4,000. Miss
Susie Baker is given the store property
and a residence at Boutwell, a store in
this town, and two thirds of all personal
property left. The other one third is left
to the infant child Of his friend, Mr..
Richard Lumpkin, living near here.
Mr. Denton was a resident of Boutwell,,
and the son of the late James Denton,
who for years was a merchant at the
above place.

crease OF n.o0,sN over the business Of
tho preceding year. Our contemporary
says:
There has been considerable
falling of in the trade of the
city in certain lines OF the fac.
forage and retail business. but very
gratifying increase in the wholesale busi-
ness and in the broader reaches of trade
The olearances at the Charleston Custom
House show that there was an increase
in the import business OF the port OF
nearly $4,000. or more than per cent
and in the export trade Of ssOs,0i3, or more
than & per cent. Compared with the i'm
port and export business Of 1866. there
has been an Increase in the value of I'M
ports OF more than 100 per cent. and In
the export trade OF more than 80 per cent.
The fact to be noted is that Charleston
has not gone back in the two great
branches OF trade which must insure its
future commercial supremacy"

preparedness FOR SENATOR.

| We take the following from the Clarke
| Courier:
1.-THE Democratic Committee OF the
! city of Richmond Is considering plan by
| which the voters thereof may declare
| their preference for United States Sena-
| tor at primary election next fall. We
hope the committee OF that city will sue
coed In adopting a plan. and that the
| committees of other cities and counties
VIII give the people an opportunity to ex-
press their choice in this matter. While
| such an expression Will not be binding
| upon the members to be chosen to the
| Legislature. yet no honest, fair-minded
representative IN that body would ignore
! the voice OF those who selected him TO
I'LL public trust. II such there be, do
not elect them 10 the Legislature. Neither
Senator Martin nor General Lee ought TO
be afraid of the peoples making known
their preference in this matter. and both
should court an expression from them"
Our City Committee has taken no ac-
ton upon this subject as yet; nor is 1t
likely to do so until We are nearer in
point OF time than we are now TO the
election OF members OF the Legislature
But should primary be ordered the wish
Of the people thus expressed will certain
ly bind our members OF the House of
Delegates who are to be elected next
year. We cannot say that il would bind
our senator's who were elected in 1897; but
assuredly 1t would influence them very
much. That would certainly be so II Rich
mond city and Henrico-the senatorial
district-both held primaries and concur
red in their choice of a candidate for the
United States Senate.
There is no prospect Of having
"a State primary" as many have
wished. Our last State convention de-
clared against It, 1t follows that the
State Committee Is not authorized TO pur-
sue a policy that was rejected by the
body that created IL.
But the right Of a constituency 10 IN
struct its representatives remains, end the
constituency may do so, We take it, in the
manner It thinks most likely to produce
the results desired. AS to that. we sup |
pose there will be no question. However. |
to return to the situation here: Our City |
Committee has taken no action as yet, /
and If what we hear be true, 1t is not |
likely to do so until the legislative cam |
paign opens next year.

RALEIGHS BUDGET.
The sheriff Takes n Hand and All is
Quiet.

RALEIGH. September H.-(Special.)-
Colonel Burgwyn says there are barely
$50 members Of the Second Regiment left
here. The provost guard is kept on duty
constantly. Last night the boundary be-
tween the city and East Raleigh was
again picketed by soldiers. There was a
conference in the evening at the Cover
nors office, and 1t was decided that the
Sheriff ought to take a hand and put in
some deputies. He put fifteen on duty.
The Sheriff has all the while ridiculed
any idea OF trouble. Colonel Burgwyn
and the Chief of Police visited the guard
line last night al 10 o'clock. and found all
quiet. 1t is asserted by the deputies that
the citizen who was hit by bullet Mon
day night was shot by an abandoned
white woman. Only one negro has been
shot, so far as can be discovered. The
trouble now appears TO be entirely at an
end. Deputies deny that the negroes are
armed with rifles, but say they have pts.
tolls and have bought much ammunition.
Negroes admit that their people have
fired at the guards. and one OF them will
swear TO that effect in two cases.
Revenue officers made another raid in
Johnston county last night, and had good
one of 100 gallons capacity; the other OF
sixty-five gallons. No arrests were made.
The tobacco sales in the warehouses
here are showing an increase over those
last year.
The fund for the Worth Bagley monu-
ment now amounts 10 $500.
