Boscotrecase soldiers dug a wide ditch
across its patch in the hope of divert
ing its course but the molten stream
advanced like a colossal serpent of fire,
turning it's head TO the right and left

direction toward the fated town. II

sending up great showers of sparks,
that the people finally fed for their
lives.

infants whose mothers carried them at

sometimes even chickens, tied togeth-

and pillows, all white with dust under
the lurid glare. We ourselves could
hardly breathe"
This dispatch corresponds exactly in
detail to Pliny's letters. The same
flaming mountain and shaking earth
the same sitting smoke and ashes, the
same terrifying darkness and the same
helpless, distracted crowd stretching
vain hands to their gods for succor.
Originally Vesuvius was in the form
of a single cone. Later eruptions have
broken down the southern side OF the
original crater, leaving the northern
semi-circle, which is called Monte
Somma. A smaller central cone had
grown up within the ancient ruin. II
is this inner cone that had its tor
blown off. Before the recent eruption
the height of the mountain was about
1000 feet.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

 Boom Bryan For President.

Conservative Wing of the Party tA
 Boom Bryan For President.
 NEW YORK, April 9.-The board of governors of the Democratic club have decided to change the name to the National Democratic club, and tomor- row night special committee will meet to draft an address to the Demo cratic leaders throughout the country asking them to join with the club in a movement to unite in opposition to the present wave of radicalism.
 The main purpose of those behind the plan for changing the character of the club from a local to a national or ganization is to make the club the headquarters of an active movement to put the Democracy in shape to fight the Hearst forces.
 William J. Bryan is to be taken up and boomed for the Democratic nomi- nation for the presidency in 1908.
 The first step in carrying out this plan will be taken at the Jefferson day dinner. one week from tonight. Many believe they see in Bryan the only hops of effectively checking the so called So- cialistic tendency in the party.
 Mir. Bryan. they believe. will not in- sist on specific reafiirmation of the Is to.1 doctrine. in view of the great increase in the past few years in the production of gold. He will recognize that new and much more important issues now confront the country. and they look to him to lead the conserva- tive wing of the party.

POLICE COURT.
Wife of Man Who Was Fined Elm.
 braced Husband in Court.

There was more joy in the city court to-day than has been witnessed there in long time. It is not much of place for such expression, any, way, for more tears than smiles are seen there. Rolin Kolinowski was one of the three victims of police vigilance yesterday. He was charged with simple intoxication. It was shown that he was so freighted with drink that he fell under the load and policeman helped him up. KOlinowski said he bought a bottle of whiskey Saturday night and after dozen friends had helped them- selves there was sufficient left over for him to fill up on Sunday. This was the most extraordinary bottle ever heard of in the city court; for a pint bottle to last that long among a dozen men was surely a mighty flask. A fine of s and costs was imposed.
 Ignace Stopck was picked up by Officer McElligott on Benzine corner. He was aso charged with lettering on the sidewalk and was. fined $7 and costs.
 frederick Schaffer, for intoxica- tion, settled on paying S5.
 It was after court that the scene of happiness took place. Kolinow- skis wife fell upon him and such embracing and expressions of ex- treme joy were never heard in the old court room. Nobody but her husband and his fellow prisoner Stopck knew what she had become so excited about, but it was evident from her manifestations that they were not of sorrow. With smiles and laughter she arranged with the pro- bation officer for the payment of the fine and left the room with her hus- band as happy as could be.

CRISIS IN COAL WAR.
Miners and Operators to Meet to
 Settle Arbitration Question.

Miners and Operators to Meet to
 Settle Arbitration Question.
 NEW YORK. April 9. President Mitchell and his associates now fin the city have taken cognizance of the re port that the operators at the joint meeting this afternoon may refuse the miners offer of arbitration and present counter proposition to the effect that a board of arbitration be appointed to ascertain if there are any new ques- iions on which the mine owners and the men differ. The union leaders have been looking into this phase of the question and are preparing to meet such a counter proposition if made.
 The miners claim there are many new grievances which arose out of the award of the anthracite coal strike commission and which have not been settled to the satisfaction of the men. It is quite certain. however. that the miners committee will insist upon a settlement of old grievances along with any that may be found to be new.
 No information Is obtainable to sc- curately indicate what stand the op- orators will take today. It is known they have carefully gone over the ar bitrntion plan proposed by Mir. Mitch ell. and it Is said they have decided to accept arbitration. but in radically different form from that offered by the miners. That the operators will ask tine coal workers to agree upon the strike commission to reopen the case or take up new differences is no: im- probable.
