PART OF CRATER FELL.
Great Eruption at Mount vesuvius
Yesterday.


Naples. Dec. 2i.--Another portion of
The crater Of Mount vesuvius fell in
at noon yesterday and caused great
eruption Of ashes, cinders and sand. II
was not preceded or accompanied, how
ever, BY either detonations or earth
shocks. In the afternoon for period OF
twenty minutes heavy rain of ashes
fell over Naples and another portion Of
the crater on the side toward pompeii
fell in. The rain of ashes created con-
siderable alarm in the more populous
quarters OF the city. Women began
PRAYING to the Madonna and the saints
not to visit them with another punish

shortly before Easter, the time of the

long, calm was soon restored. The ashes

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. 1t is a feeling common
to the majority of US that we
do not get quite the amount OF
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make Us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
<tributed to biliousness. No doubt
a crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause Of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And VIII,
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can umber.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
" be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence Of the
people by bald assertions and
bOasting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has 21ch a record Of
success in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations Of strength and
vigour. Its use helps to show
life's brighter side Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says 81 have

and found it to be a very valu-

MEXICANs BATTLE
WITH GREEKS

OROVILLE, Dec. 3.-A pitched battle
took place this afternoon between
forty Greeks engaged on the Western
Pacific near French Creek and an equal
number of MeXicans engaged at the
same place. Five men are said TO be
seriously wounded, while almost every
man in camp is reported. to bear
wounds and marks of the conflict. The
battle was waged the greater part of
the afternoon and picks, shovels, rocks
and clubs were used. Sheriff Club
buck has gone to the scene.
The trouble seems to have resulted
from the jealousy existing between the
two races On Saturday, November "a.
fifteen Greeks were discharged and
Mexicans We're put in their places. This
aroused the Greeks and trouble has
been brewing since that time. The af-
fray today was precipitated by fight
between two men and in a moment the
whole camp was in an uproar. The
foreman could do nothing to quell it.
This is the third serious fight that has
occurred in the last month.

RAILROAD OFFICERS
On THE GRILL

PUEBLO, Dec. 3.-United States Com
merce Commissioner E. Z. Clark, as
sisted by Attorneys Thomas and Mar
chand. began an investigation to-day
of alleged land frauds and the rela-
tions between common carriers to the
production of coal and oil and the
transportation of the same. A large
number of witnesses were examined in
connection with the coal land holdings
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany, the Denver and Rio Grande, the
Colorado and Southern and Santa Fe
railroads for the purpose of securing
data which will be submitted to Con-
gress for definite action. Should the
investigation bring out facts to war
rant ii, however, the matter will be
brought to the attention of a special
United States Grand Jury for the pur-
pose of indicting those against whom
charges may be preferred.
Within the past few weeks the Gen
eral Land Office at Washington has
caused TO be withdrawn from entry
more than a million and a half acres
of land said to contain coal in the
Pueblo district ito prevent monopoIi-
zation of the coal industries of the
country by railroads and other corpora
tions."
Rate discrimination in other lines of
business may also be looked into. The
morning session was devoted to the
examination of Denver and Rio Grande
local officials.
The principal evidence developed was
the alleged fact that the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company pays a rate of 81
a ton for coal from Crested Butte to
Pueblo, while the small local dealers
pay 81 per ton.
Another piece of alleged discrim-
ination in favor of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company was shown in the
matter of the rate on coke from Wal
senburg, being 75 cents a ton for Colo
rado Fuel and Iron Company, or about
half the amount charged the general
public.
Under questions by j. T. Marchand.
one of the attorneys for the commits
sion. a witness testified that whilesthe
freight rate on coal from the Trinidad
fields TO the Pueblo coal dealers is 81 per
ton, the same service costs the smelt-
ing company but 75 cents per ton, a
difference of 25 cents, which was un-
explained and undisputed. This dam
aging admission was from Rio
Grande employe. who said that the
cut in rates to the smelling company
was made pursuant 10 a letter received
from Fred Wild, Jr., general freight
agent of the road. who made it clear
that the communication was of a con-
fidential ture.
The commission will sit in Denver to-
morrow.

RIVAL ROADS MIX
FRANCHISES

OAKLAND, Dec. g. The Western
Pacific Railway tonight in the City
Council supplemented its previous ap-
pIication for franchises for tracks
around the city by fling fourth ap-
plication for line to run from Twenty
second and Wood streets north on
Wood to Gladding street thence TO the
Emeryville yards of the Santa Fe- This
covers part of the same route for which
the Santa Fe has made application for
a franchise to reach it's proposed
freight yard at Twentieth and Union
streets.
Charles E. Shook, who presented the
application for the Western Pacific,
made no attempt as to the purpose OF
the company In seeking track facili-
ties of such extent as to form com
plete belt around the city from Emery
Vile along the west shore southerly
to the water, and paralleling the South
ern Pacific and the Western PACING
main lines through the city.
This last application of the Western
Pacific was referred with its three
predecessors to the committee of the
whole. It was discovered in comparing
notes on the Union Belt Line Railway s
application in East Oakland and the
Western Pacific's from Broadway to
Twenty-sixth avenue that there was
conflict, there being a space south Of
the Southern Pacific's tracks of only
five feet between the lines of the two
applications. In view of this, Attor-
ney r. NJ. Fitzgerald, representing the
Union Belt Line, consented that his ap-
plication which had been recommended
for passage to print should go back to
the committee of the whole, where the
rival seekers for franchises can adjust
matters. Fitzgerald said he was not
prepared to say how much further his
clients would go IL they were assured
by a /. franchise agreement that the
western Pacific tracks were opened to
all railroads.
None of the Western Pacif1c's appli-
cations contain an open-track agree
ment. 1t has been understood from
the outset of the Gould systems en-
trance into Oakland that they intended
to fight for the franchises they now
seek as a feeder for freight to their
own line The question now before the
council is whether the Western Pa
cific will agree to open it's tracks. If
granted a franchise to all corners. thus
creating a belt line encircling the en-
tire harbor frontage of the city.
The Santa Fe's applications for fran
chises from it's Emeryville yards 10
Twentieth and Union streets were re-
ferred to the committee of the whole.
The ordinance granting the Southern
Pacific a franchise for an industrial
line from Twenty-sixth avenue along
the tidal canal was passed to print
after being amended to require the
company to make track connections
with any other railroad, and providing
for forfeiture of the franchise In case
of violations of its provisions.
