remove her to Pueblo last night.
But the troubles of the family did
not end here, Shortly before O'Clock
screams were heard from the barn and
an investigation found Harold, the
eight-year-old son of the Condons ly-
ing in an unconscious condition on the
ground, with both of his hands In a
badly mangled condition Surgeons
were called and 1t was some time be-

fired the rest of the box and he was

APPEARANCES OF THE ERUPTION

Fire-Spouts of Lava Were Terri

Fortunately for Naples and the sur
rounding country. the recent violent
spasms of Mount Vesuvius fell SHORT CT
expectations and the threatened erup-
tion resulted only in the distribution
for a short distance of light showers
of ashes and the dissemination of con-
siderable sulphurous smoke. A letter
writer who visited the scene pictures 1t
wildly. He had climbed to what is
known as the Smoke platform" be-
yond which his guides would not ven

I'VE were here surrounded" he says.
"by innumerable columns of dense
smoke and steam. which shot up from
cracks in the earth and rose in long
spirals to lose themselves in the clouds
above.
THE explosions from the volcano be-
came more rapid, following each other.
indeed, so rapidly as to resemble con-
tinual musketry fire. From the crater
above us a perfect mountain Of smoke
arose from time to time, spreading it.
self out like a pine tree and falling
back fanwise toward Pompeii. With
this there came dense shower of fire
balls. stones and scoria. shot up
straight into the air and then rolling
down the mountain sides in thousands
of flaming fragments. At ten minutes
to an unusually loud rumbling an
nounced new outburst.
IAN enormous pine tree of smoke
was sent 1000 feet up into the air and
fell back on the mountain top in mil
lions of little curls of smoke One of
my companions told me that the densi-
ty OF this explosion could only be ac-
counted for by landslip of n small
part of the crater"
The correspondent then describes
how fortnight before his ascent We
suviuc had begun to rumble and threw
out showers of ashes. Four days later
the explosions became like great thun-
derclaps and the ashes changed to in
candescent lava. which was thrown up
to great height and then fell into the
crater, the upper parts of which it has
now completely filled.
These spouts of lava were terribly
beautiful to see and the top of the
mountain looked as II it were crowned
with long rays of fire. Between the lava
came showers of stone and the rumb-
ling and explosions became so violent
that 1t was feared that a new and Sc
rious phase Of the eruption was begin
ming. But gradually the noise and the
showers diminished. till they suddenly
increased again with great violence
last week. Tht guides who are accus-
toned to the volcano say that nothing
is to be feared from the present erup-
tion comparable with what happened in
1900. when the roof of one of the cleo
tric railway stations was broken by a
large stone from the crater. No for
eigners or unauthorized persons, how
ever. are allowed further up than the
lower zone of the volcano.

The killing of Martin Condor by
lightning on the 10th inst. the final
giving away Of the mind of his wife
last evening, the accidental blowing up
OF their eldest son shortly before 5
O'Clock. the discovery OF small for
tune hidden in the stable in the rear
OF their house, and the further discov-
cry of money in half dozen places in
the house, form the basis of ten days
OF most sensational incidents in the life
of this well-known Leadville family.
A week ago Saturday last Martin
Condor, superintendent of the Penn
mine, left home as usual and went to
the mine. He was walking from one
shaft to the other when bolt of light
ming struck him dead. Condor was one
of the best known mining superintend
ents in the camp and there was general
regret over his sudden death. At his
home. however, where wife and three
children awaited him. the blow came
hardest. II was but two weeks before
that Mr.. Condor had obtained a permit
from the county judge of this county to
allow him to bring his wife back to
Leadville. she having been confined for
some time n private sac.tarium in
Pueblo. Now that her reason was re-
stored and being apparently well, Mar
tin Condor wanted her home again

not sufficient. Secretary Hay told the
ambassador that at both the White

personally and officially. and that they
hoped nothing would interfere TO pre-
vent his return to Washington next
fall.
