tentioA of the world was directed to
the deadly volcano that has been feared since it
overwhelmed and buried Herculaneum and Pom
peii seventy-nine years after the Christian era
began.
This recent eruption of the volcano was one
of the most terrifying of late years. Twelve vii
lagos and towns its slopes were destroyed or
partly destroyed by earthquake, lava, fire or
ashes.
In one of them more than one hundred per-
sons were killed by hail of incandescent rocks
Other villages were abandoned by their in
habitants. Terror prevailed everywhere, even in
Naples, where heavy falls of ashes caused the
collapse of a market place roof and the death or
wounding of $50 persons.
Great volumes of dust-laden steam were
belched upward from the redhot crater. At
night masses of fire SCARED upward. BURNING
lava flowed down on all sides, and it seemed as
though the whole of the surrounding country
doomed.
In the midst of all this terrifying demon

NOTES FROM THE ROLLING MILLS

Some heavy parts for the roll lathe
room arrived today.

in the east, the lathes here being kept
on the set patterns.
Bricklayers are today connecting
No. 2 and No. 3 furnaces with the
boilers. using fire brick. No. 1 furnace
is ready.
The hangings for the telegraph"
system, the iron track on which the
hosting drums run, are being erected
at the different furnaces.
All the housings for both mills are
in place, the boxes for the rolls have
been cast and the mills are nearly
ready to receive the rolls, some of
which have already been turned.
An immense oil reservoir was re-
ceived this morning and will be placed

LIE GRAND JURY DONE
 ON TERRITORIAL SIDE
The United States Grand Jury Still Engaged in Trust Investigation. No Hint of It's Progress Given Out.


 The territorial grand jury disposed of all the criminal business of the October term yesterday It broke the record for expedition. There were thirty-one
 cases to be passed upon, and it was all
 done in three days.
 The last act of the jury yesterday af- i ternoon was to return a report practic-
 ally dismissing the charge of man slaughter against James Mccarthy. held for the killing of John Flood. The matter was by d unanimous vote re- ierred to the next grand jury, but the bail of the defendant was eXonerated amounting to a practical disposition of the whole matter.
 Two reports had been submitted earlier in the day. each containing sev- i eral indictments. Three were found : against David Baer for forgery and two against his wife, Clara Baer. 9th CTS were indicted as follows M CamachO for the theft of watch | from the person. He pleaded guilty. and will be sentenced tomorrow. Ca mache is hardened but shifty crim- | inal who has hitherto escaped justice l l.. NJ. DenisOn and Danie Flower for | highway robbery. The latter is a col | ored man. They were indicted for the
 robbery of R. C. Collins in the lower i part of the city a couple of months 1 ago. They pleaded not guilty. William Across an Indian. for the | theft of a horse. saddle and bridle. He pleaded guilty and Will be sentenced to-
 morrow.
 1 Price Gomis and Rafael Gomez were 1 discharged.
 In the case of Elton F. Weller for the
 murder of Charles Williams. a demur- Ter to the indictment was overrrled
 and plea of not guilty was entered. His trial was set for November 21. The trial of Tranquilino Estrada and Espf- nosa for grand larceny was set for Oc- ] tober A. The trial of James Harer for forgery will take place on November 24
 The much talked-of priority suit of Hurley vs Abbott came up for the frst time on motion to dismiss The motion was denied
 The rest of the business on the civil side consisted of the resetting of mo- tiOns and demurrers.
 IL was expected throughout the day that the United States grand jury would submit a report of it's investfga- ton of the alleged trusts. but in the middle or the afternoon the grand jury adjourned until tomorrow morning. A large number of witnesses who are supposed to know something about all the alleged combinations. Were before the jury. but no word leaked out of tbe room regarding the character of the evidence
 It is thought. but it Is by no means sure. that the investigation will be brought to an end tomorrow.

A NEVER DYING CRAZE
Because It Is a Useful One the Post Card Fad-tIas Come Into the World to Stay.

The post card fad which started in Germany a few years ago. has become a craze in all parts of the civilized and semi-civilized world It will propabIy never die out for it pleasantly displac- es to a large extent more or less bur densome letter writing. A pretty posc card will go as far as a long letter. and it is so much easier to send
 In consequence of the growing de- mand for post cards. R. L. Bake Of Balke's Big Curio store last spring placed with the firm of Rafael. Tuck and Company, Leipsig. Germany. an order for 1S0.OOO of the "Oilette'' process cards. Rafael Tuck & Co. are the chief post card manufacturers Of the world. Thousands ordered by MT. Bake, embrace scenes from in and about Phoenix and the Territory, fanciful pictures and copies of famous paintings.
 On account of a strike in the print ing engraving and photographic depart ments Of Rafael. Tuck S Co.. the or der has not yet been wholly filled but some of the best have already come. Nothing like them in the shape of post cards has ever been seen in this part of the country. Many of the copies of old paintings. are suitable for fram- ing and several have already been sold for that purpose.
 The Big Curio store has also just received 2000 leather post cards The ] leather has first been burned and after that. hand painted with comic scenes. There is also handsome novelty in leather cards. The leather is appliqued with velvet in representation of fruits and flowers among the latter being vio- lets, poppies, poinsettias and many oth- CTS. There are altogether twenty-five designs of this kind of cards
 It is as good as going to an art gal -lery to call at the Big Curio store and look over the stock of post cards.
