ened With Destruction by
Eruption of Volcano.

A dispatch from Naples, Italy, says
the Inhabitants of the villages in the
Vicinity of Mount Vesuvius are In a
condition bodering on a panic. Many
homes have been abandoned
for the open air, ALTHOUGH there has
been q thick fog all day and the at.
mosphere has been dense with volcan-
ic ashes and the fumes Of subterran-
ean Tires. The churches ara crowded
day and night with people praying fol
dcliverance from an impending peril,
manifestations Of which are heard and
felt In explosion 8 which resemble a

ly recurring.
The main stream Of lava proceeding
from Vesuvius Is 200 feet wide, and
1T advances at times at the rate of 81
feet In q minute, the intense heat de-
stroying vegetation before the stream
reaches 1t. The peasants of Partici,
at the west foot Of Vasuvius, cleared
their grounds of vineyards and trees
In the effort to lessen the danger from
fire, and resisted the progress Of the
lava to their utmost. The population
OF BcscOtrecsz, on the southern de-
clivity Of the mountain have sought
safety In flight, and Bosco Gale, to
the eastward IL also threatened. Wom
en- of this village, weeping with fright,
carried a statue Of ST. Anne as far as
they could go the f)wing lava, i'm
ploring a miracle to stay the advance
or the consuming stream.
The ccmetary at Boscotrecaz has
been invaded by lava.
The scene at night Is one Of mingled
grandeur and horror. as from the
summit OF Vesuvlus there leaps o
column Of fire fully q thousand feet In
height, the glare lighting the sky and
sea for many miles. Occasionally
great masses Of molten stone, some
weighing SIS much as q ton, are ejested
from the crater. The village OF Torrre
del Greco. which has been eight times
destroyed and as often rebuilt, Is
again threatened and the inhabitants
are In extreme terror.
Signor Matteucci, director Of the
observatory. Is working indefatigably.
He has had military engineers estab.
lish telephone connection between
the observatory and points within
range OF the volcanic activity. The
director said to the AssociaLee Press
Friday evening that although erup.
tion presented a grave menace, &c
did not believe 1T would reach the
villages. Indeed he said the present
volca ic activity was not altogether
unmixed with good, for If 1t had not
come to pass, q violent and sudden
eruption, having a far wider radius,
might have occurred.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius is
now most Violent. On the Pompeli
side the main stream Of lava has di.
vided into two, me threatening

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.

Look at the present situation also.
A new board Is elected to manage tue
state dispensary under tho old law.
That old law was fatally defec bive In
some particulars, but 1t has not been
obeyed In the last two years. at least,
with regard to competition in bidding
for the right to supply the state dis
pensary with Whlskey and In other inn
portant particulars. The now board
comes into office finding an immense
stock Of liquor bought on credit, and
practically all OF 1T bought contrary to
law. The Legislature gave to the in
vfst'gating committee full control and
authority in regard to auditing and
passing upon these accounts. The new
board then Is subject to the inyestl-
gazing committee and the situation
seems to be this: Tho authority OF
managing and directing the affairs Of
the dlspensary Is now divided, the new
board OF directors having some Of it
and the investigating committee the
balance. There is something like
5000, 600 worth Of debts hanglng owe
