CIRCUIT ATTORNEY
 WITNESSES TRAGEDY.

Circuit Attorney Arthur Sager of St. Louis. was witness of the tragedy He stepped into the cell of the jail and cut off the gas, hoping thus to confuse the mob and defeat its plans He was a second too late The mob is now threat ening to return to the jail and hang four other negroes who are charged with murder.
 Sheriff Horner tried to argue with the mob but 1t hooted and insulted him. Jailer King was assaulted when he re- fused to give up the keys. He finally gave the mob the keys which were not for the negroes cell. however. and the mob smashed the iron bars. Sheriff Will son Crane of Polk county, also tried to induce the mob not to hang the negroes.
 Two months ago T. NJ. Kinney a prom inent tailor was assassinated and two negro suspects are in jail for that crime. Later an old peddler was killed and ne- groes were accused of the deed. These affairs created strong antl-negro feel ing which was heightened by an anti negro play recently given here.

Kansas City. April 14.-In the circuit court here today arguments were heard on the order granted last night tempora- rily restraining the city council from passing an ordinance granting natural gas franchise to the Kansas City, (Mo) Gas company. Mayor J. H. Neff. who ap- peared in court and was questioned by Judge Brumback, promised the court that he would not again present the ordinance to the council, and therefore, suggested that the proceedings might stop.
 The judge, however. stated frankly that the Mayor might honestly change his mind before night, and again introduce the ordinance and so ordered the argu- ments to continue Mayor Neff admitted that he had promised the gas company that he would introduce the franchise and sign it if passed
 But now. added Mayor Neff, T pro- pose to submit it back to the people and let the incoming administration pass upon it."

Observatory Guardian Tells of the Awful Havoc Wrought
 Last Sunday Morning
COULD NOT STAND ON FEET
 BECAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES
As the Professor Talks a New Explo- sion Gives Warning That Further Trouble May Come at
 Any Moment.

Naples, April 1.-The Associated Press correspondent today reached the highest habtable point on Mount Vesuvius where Professor Matteucci, director of the royal observatory has courageously held his post throughout the eruption. The noted scientist was found comparatively calm and undsturbed by his recent fearful experiences.
 Thursday night Professor Matteucci and his little band were cut off from the out side world. Their rations ran low and consisted of cheese, bread and dried onions until urgent telegraphic appeals led a venturesome guide to push through on Friday with a stock of supplies. Meantime the professor had kept at his instruments. taking observations and making calcula- tlons day and night, while a perfect in- ferno ragged around him. As he came forward to greet the correspondent, his blackened face and dust-covered clothes told of the ordeal through which he had passed He is of medium height stocky of build. with ruddy face. and silver gray hair and moustache. His appearance combines the intellectually of the savant and the hardihood of the athlete His rough garb seemed to belle his profess sion.
 Portico Knee Deep in Ashes.
 The portico where he stood was knee deep in ashes. From the observatory ter race to which narrow paths had been cut through the ashes. the correspondent looked out over sea of ashes, and twist ed rivers of lava. while Vesuvus rose grimly in a mantle of dust clouds rising like a gigantic fan. Professor Matteucci was asked to tell in his own way the story of the cataclysm from the outset. He gave the following detailed narrative:
 T observed Mount Vesuvus giving un- usual signs about month ago when the lava began to overflow taking a southwest direction. This gradually in- creased as several small streams formed into one great current
 The real danger began the middle of last week Then an enormous stream of lava came from the summit, meeting the other streams which burst from the lower strata 1t was this that overwhelmed Boscotrecase. Throughout the lava dis charge the volcano was comparatively quiet. and without electrical phenomena or explosions. The only omlnous sign was the advancing wave and the cinders form- ing an enormous cloud In the shape of pine tree over the crater.
