cinders Break Down Roofs and XIII
Hundreds.

Naples.-A frightful disaster has
occurred in the center of the city, fol-
lowing the eruption of Mount Vesu-
vius. Two hundred people, it is esti-
mated, were buried Monday morning
in the ruins of the Market Monte Oil
veto, when the roof collapsed under
the weight of cinders from the vol
cano. The exact number of people
within the building at the moment of
the catastrophe is not known. and the
list OF fatalities is problematical.
Terrifying news is reaching the city
from points throughout the district sur
rounding Ottajano. Reports indicate
that an enormous area is buried be-
meath ashes and cinders. The present
disaster is looked upon as repetition
of the catastrophe of Pompeii and
Herculaneum, except that in this in
stance ashes rather than lava cover
the devastated places and the loss Of
life is less. According to information
received late Monday night, probably
as many as 500 lives were lost.
1t is said that more than 200 persons
perished in the district of San Gui-
seppe, where from the ruins of a
church which collapsed owing to the
weight of ashes on the roof forty-nine
corpses were extricated, and it is as
serted that at Sorrento thirty-seven
persons were killed by falling houses.
Almost equal with the devastation
wrought by the lava is the damage
lone by cinders and ashes, of which
Incredible quantities have been car
led great distances. This has caused
he practical destruction of San Gui-
jeppe, place of 5000 inhabitants.

scHIFFER DECISION.
Wealthy New York Brother Not Held
Liable.

Pueblo, Colo.-According to a de-
cision handed down Thursday by Judge
Riner in the United States Court, Her
man Schiller was not a member of the
firm of H. Schiller G Bro, owning the
defunct Bank of Alamosa at the time
the institution closed its doors.
Judge Riner in effect held that the
connection of Herman Schiller with
the firm of H. Schiller & Brother, had
not been proven. The court held that
the burden OF proof of an existing part
nership must rest with the petitioners
and that SO far as the evidence was
concerned. this had been of negative
character. The fact that the firm name
of H. Schiller G Brother had been con-
tinued after Herman Schiller had dis
posed of his interests to Abraham and
Isaac Schiller, could not be regarded
as evidence of partnership from the
fact that authorities had held that the
firm name of a concern was a portion
of its assets and that through the pur-
chase Of the business and good will Of
the firm of H. Schiller & Brother, the
purchasers had succeeded to the firm
name also.
Herman Schiller was consequently
released and discharged from all re-
sponsibility in the matter, while Abra-
ham and Isaac w. Schiller were ad-
adjudged bankrupt according to the
prayer of the petition of the creditors.
This decision releases Herman Schif-
fer. from liability of about 100000,
which as a director Of the Alamosa
bank he had been sued for by deposi-
tors.
The proceedings grew out Of the
failure Of the Bank of Alamosa which
was owned by the Schiffers, Isaac and
Abraham. The case in court was to
determine whether Herman Schiller Of
New York, who is said to be wealthy
manufacturer, was actually a member
of the banking firm. The failure was
most sensational and created much bit
terness against the Schiffers. Abra-
ham, the active head of the bank.
was brought to Pueblo from Alamosa
in order to insure protection and to
await . hearing in the federal court.
The failure occurred in October,
1905. Out OF deposits Of more than
S200. 900 In the bank. at the time, less
than $500 was found by the receiver.

COLORADO SCHOOLS.
Statistics Reported by the State Super
intendent,

The past year has been one of ac-
tivity and progress in educational af-
fairs in Colorado. The number of chill
dren enrolled in the schools in the
year Of 1905 was 1891; this was an
increase approximately 1000 pupils
over the year of 1904; while the in.
crease of the year 1904 over the year
1908 was approximately only 5000.
There are approximately 5000 teach
ers in the state with an average salary
of $65 per month. There were seven
ty-five school buildings erected dur
ing the year of 1905. These buildings
are constructed largely of brick or
stone containing more than one room
with all modern equipments.
Within the past year there has been
notable increase in the high school
attendance, also the number of pupils
completing the eighth grade.
Manual training, domestic science
and school gardening are being intro
duced into nearly all of the schools in
the state with marked results.
The total enrolment of students in
the State University at Boulder, Colo
rado, for the year of 1904-1905 shows
an increase of 139 pupils over the
previous year.
The Normal School at Greeley grad
uated a class last year of LOT students,
an increase of twenty over the pre-
vious year. The enrolment for 1904
1906 was 979, an increase of 254 over
the previous year.
The total enrolment of the school
of mines at Golden during the year of
1904-1905 was 290, an increase Of sew
enty-six over the previous year.
The State Agricultural College at
Fort Collins had a total enrolment of
43S students during the year of 1903
1904.
Each of these. state institutions re-
port a greater increase in enrolment
this year than any year in the past,
which is conclusive proof of the edu-
cational growth in this state.

Live Stock Exchange Trust.

Topeka, Kans.-It was decided by
the Kansas Supreme Court Saturday
that the Kansas City Live Stock Ex-
change is a trust, and that all cattle
mortgages made through members OF
that exchange are invalid. The far
reaching effect of this decision are be-
yond estimation. Nearly all the chat
tel mortgages issued through the mem
bers of the exchange contain the pro.
vision that commission of at least
so cents head shall be charged. I'm
der the holding Of the court, this is suf-
ficient to constitute trust, and all the
notes and mortgages are absolutely
void and cannot be enforced.

spectively, both emigrated from Vir-
ginia to Missouri, when the latter was

ton banker. Judge and Mrs. Lewis

who attends Dartmouth College, and
two girls, who are in school in this
city.
Judge Lewis, following the precedent
set by all members of his family. was a
Democrat until 1883. when, from pro-
nounced conviction against free trade.
he entered the ranks of the Republican
party, and since that time has con-
sistently advocated Republican princi-

In 1896 Lewis was again nominated for
Congress, but later withdrew to accept
the nomination for governor rendered

tion. He devoted eleven weeks to coh-
tinual aggressive campaigning and
forced the Democrats and Populists to
fuse in order to avert certain defeat.

his family since.

tered into law partnership with the
