FREAKS OF THE LAVA.
Some Curious Incidents of an Over
nOw of Yesuvius.

At one house, which had been entire
ly surrounded by the food, but not de-
stroyel, one saw people, on top of the
mass of lava, entering the upper win
dows with a ladder and bringing forth
their household goods to transport
them 10 a place of safety. One vine
yard was surrounded on three sides by
this dividing current. and it was pos
sible TO walk into 1t among tie lines
OF trimmed vines and to perceive the
fire still glowing in the towering walls
of lava ON each side The people at
tributed this remarkable phenomenon
to the miraculous Intervention of their
Madonna our Lady of the Shows. -
with whose sacred image they had con
fronted the all dcvOuring monster
sweeping implacahiy down on their ap-
parently doomed homes.
Step 10y step The priests and the faith
ful. singing the litany, retreated as the
awful fool swept on, and still the
sound of singing and prayer rose above
the fearful roar Of the torrent and the
thunder of the mountain above. belch-
lug forth from the central crater fiery
bombs and enormous swirls OF cinder,
sand and smoke. which rose to great
heights Yard by yard the lava swept
onward Now palatial villa would be
surrounded by the torrent, crushed
down and disappear in smoke; now a
weeping peasant would see his little
cottage and vineyard, his ALL go under
In an instant
One poor woman was thus watching
the fate of her earthly belongings from
a little cmincnCe when smaller crater
came roaring forth at her very feet
She turned to flee, Hell, rolled to the
bottom Of the little hill and the next
moment the lava flowed forth like the
foam from a glass of beer and swept
over the spot where she had been
standing an instant bcfore.-William

TEMPE
A CASE OF BURGLARY.
The Suspect Will Be Given q Hearing
 Today.

There was a case of burglary in east Tempe some time early yesterday morning. A Mexican there suffered the loss of part of his clothing and some cash taken from that part of his ap- parel that was not stolen. There was good reason to believe that one Rafael Nanzuela was the guilty party, and as soon as the report of the theft was made known to the officers an attempt was made to find him. He could not be located in Tempe, but during the day was found in Phoenix. He will be brought over and given a hearing this morning before Justice of the Peace Nielsen.
 He is no stranger to the officers of Tempe and has been in trouble before. Sunday night he was seen about town by the night watchman, Cartelcdge, and told to leave town at that time. It is thought that he went direct to Mex ican town and a short time later com mitted the burglary. He entered the Mexican's house while he and his wife were asleep and helped himself to what he wanted.
