VOLCANO MAGNIFICENT IN IT'S FURY.
Correspondent Describes Four Immense
MoIton Fire Dexouring everything in Their Path.

London, April 9.-The accounts of Sun
days eruption of Mount Vesuvius which
have reached here are detached and IN
expert. 1t is declared that the evacua-
ton of the towns and villages in a wide
area around the volcano before the ad.
vancing lava and torrents of hot ashes
and sand has left nobody to observe the
progress of the catastrophe, even if such
observation were possible. A correspond
ent, who went to the Boscotrecase and
Tore Annunziata districts Saturday
says:
Along the road met hundreds of fam
lilies in fight, carrying their few miserable
possessions. The spectacle of collapsed
carts and fainting women was frequent,
From point on the mountain between
the two towns l watched four rivers of
molten fire, one of which, 200 feet wide
and over forty feet deep, was moving
slowly and majestically onward, devour-
ing vineyards and olive groves. l wit
messed the destruction of a farmhouse,
which was enveloped on three sides by
lava.
Immediately overhead the great era
ter was belching incandescent rocks and
scorie for an incredible distance. The
whole summit was wreathed with flames
and perpetual roar was heard. Ever
and anon the cone of the volcano was
encircled with vivid electric phenomena,
amid which a downpour of liquid fire on
all sides of the crater was revealed in
magnificent awfulness.
In the evening there was frightful
shock of earthquake, which was repeated
at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Simuta-
neously, the lava streams redoubed their
onrush and men, women and children
fled precipitately toward the sea- The
lava had invaded the road behind them"
Another correspondent describes visit
made to Boscotrecase Saturday, saying:
"As nothing could be seen from Naples,
owing to the dense, black pail of sand
half of Naples hurried to the threatened
town by railway, electric tramway, mo-
tor car, and country cart. 1t was diff
cult enough to obtain ticket and inf
nitely more difficult to obtain a seat in
the trains, although, the service has been
trebled. AS far as the picturesque town
of Portici the country lay desoate uni der

JUSTICE FORT
FOR HUDSON.
Justice Swayze Will Succeed
Him in This CirCuit--New JUS
tiCe Goes to South Jersey.

TRENTON, June 6-Ohief JUS
tice Gummere, of the supreme court,
announced yesterday that the place
of the late Justice Jonathan Dixon, in
the Eighth district, consisting of Hud-
son county, would be filled by JUS
tice Fort, who now sits in the Second
district, consisting of Middlesex and
Union counties. Justice Fort will be
succeeded by Justice Swayze, of
Newark, who now sits in the First
district, consisting of Atlantic, Cape
May, Cumberland and Salem.
When vacancy occurs in one of
the circuits it is customary to make
the assignments of circuits in the or
der of seniority of the justice, each
justice in turn being allowed to Sc
lect any vacant circuit. AS the First
district has not been chosen by any
of the justices, now on the bench, 1t
will probably be assigned to the new
justice, who will succeed Justice Dix
on.
1t is expected he will be Judge
Thomas w. Trenchard, of Bridgeton.

ren. He was, however, committed
to the county Jail in default of bonds
to insure the support of his family

city a considerable amount monthly.
His wife had been working for the
sheriff at the county seat.
Harris was released few weeks
ago from jail through the interven-
tion of friends who wanted to see him
have another chance.

Now Looks Like

A LONG DELAY.

Prospects for the bridge opening
seem to be long distance in the fu-
ture The freeholders say they are
waiting for Justice Fort. TIE grant
ed hearing week ago last Satur-
day. and postponed action for one
week. Last Saturday the matter was
laid over until yesterday when the
June term of the supreme court OPP
ened at Trenton.
Yesterday, however, Alan Strong,
counsel for the freeholders, was alb
sent and nothing was done. No date
seems to be fixed now and Justice
Fort leaves this circuit to be sue
ceeded by Justice Swayze, who is a
stranger to the conditions and will
have to begin at the beginning again.
In the meantime the fact remains
tha there is nothing to prevent the
use of the bridge, the writ that Mr..
Bloomfield has had issued prevents
the county paying any more money
for the structure. 1t would look as
if the freeholders could throw the
structure open for traffic by simply

The absence of Mr.. Strong yester-

present condition of affairs. The feel
ing is growing that the situation is
