vEsUvIUs is DONE FOR.
It Has Spent Its Force and May Never
BeIch Again.

New Y~ork.-Frank A. Perret. an as
sistant at the V%esuvian observatory.
whose action in remaining at his post
during last years eruption of the vol
cano gained him general commenda-
ton and who is now at his home here
on a brief vacation, spoke interesting
ly in an interview regarding the ca
bled reports of a new eruption OF
Mount Vesuvius. He declared there
could be no eruption at this time, but
that there had been landslides in the
crater, and the louds of dust arising
therefrom resembled a new eruption.
Said he:
THE interior walls of the crater are
very steep INT as the cone is a con
glomerate mass of loose materials, a
portion of the rim may become under
mined and detached by a slight earth
tremor and fall into the abyss. This
mass. which may weigh hundreds Of
tons, congresses the air below 1t, and
or reaching the bottom of the crater
is at once elected as an immense
cloud of dust and ashes. which per-
fectly resembles a true eruption and
presents a sufficiently terrifying ap-
pearance to the initiated. Others often
follow the first and the dust is carried

is practically impossible at this time
In telling why this was impossible,
Mr.. Perret said that Vesuvious had a
fairly well defined cycle of operations.
After a great eruption like that of last
year there followed a period of abso-
lutte rest, the duration of which is va
riable and might last for several years.
When the awakening came, he said, it
was gradual. The bottom of the era
ter caved in and small explosions be-
gan to build up little cones on the
crater floor, as the lava, which has
forced and melted its way up the cen
trail %conduits. entered the crater
cavity.
Then came a long period of moder-
ate activity, with occasional outbreaks
Of greater violence, until at last the
great eruption cleared the vent. This.
Mr.. Perret said. might take another
thirty years or mere.
This cycle Of events is not inev-
TABLE" Mr. Perret said, "but it is ex,
tremely probable. So far as Vesuvius
is concerned, let me repeat that there
is no danger of a serious outbreak for
some time to come"

deficient in not having enough color
pigments also became separated from
the others-this is the white race. Now
we come to the family which had too
many color pigments-those are now
h negroes.
Then geographical barriers arose
and the earth became broken up. For
II Is a fact that the different parts of
the earth which are now separated by

Entirely Separated.

Then the different families became
entirely separated from each. other.
The place where those with slant eyes
had settled became China. The man
with the abnormally large amount of
color pigments vas hemmed in in AZ
RIGA. The children of each of these
races had to breed in line and each
generation retained the abnormal fea-
lures. So. when there is no attempt
made to do away with these imperfec-
tions they become so emphasized that
the race Is destroyed. The race in
Africa, then, had its defects empha-
sized and gradually became darker
and darker, finally developing into
the negro race of the present time, and
the family with the small amount of
color pigments went towards Europe
and became the Caucasians.
Il believe, as the nations have ad-
vanced in civilization. the tendency
towards amalgamation has gradually
increased. The United States has
made the nos progress and I think
the best is yet to come. l think the
amalgamation of the white and black
races is not far off, and then all the
different families of the world will
finally been united. And when that
time comes universal peace will pre-
vail"

the entire plant with the exception of
the nitro house ana mould shed, which

The building was frame structure,

of no avail and the men turned their
attention to the nitre house, which
was brick structure, and which
housed a large amount of high expo.

means of throwing water on 1t, and
had it caught on IRE the entire north.

doubtless been destroyed.
A crew of men were also busy on
the mould.house ana It was saved.
The plant gives employment to abom

Near the site of the fire passes the
B. and g. tracks on which were stand
ing several box cars of that road, and
the top OF them protruding over the
edge of the water, was burned, which
will also ruin the cars.
The extent OF the damage to the
plant is estimated to be about $50, 1000
with insurance amounting to about
100000. The origin of the fire is SAID
to have been the result of some lime
in the building becoming wet.
The food did great damage hero,
many merchants not anticipating such
a high stage, had much OF their good.
ruined in the streets, but there was
not reported to be any loss of life.
The greater part OF the town was
under water, but at late hour last
night business streets of the place
had been cleared.
The total damage to New Martins
vile Is said TO be about 100000.
The officials OF the glass company
are non.committal On the point OF re.

will not be known for several days.

doesn'. promote The interests OF the
Prohibition party. Such hypocrisy!
Such sailing under false colors. Such
pretending to stand for cause when
they are only standing for party.
Some things are gradually coming u
light relative to the movements of the
ProhibitIonlsts in the campaign in
this county last fall when Mr.. Mills
and the Meztcks were speaking and
singing at places billed for Republic
can rallies. Some Democrats who are
not now needing their help are say
ing some right interesting things co.,
corning who bore tnc expenses at that
time. But be that as 1t may, the result
IN this city on Saturday shows tn. I
the temperance people who belong to
other parties outnumber the alleged
temperance people who belong to the
Prohibition party more than four to
one, Hereafter tho PronIbItionIsts
ought TO be made take a back seat in
the temperance band wagon. Their
principal business is 10 loot the horn
for the party success while the real
temperance people have to furnish
the votes for the temperance cause.

In the City Court.

In the civil side of the city court yes- terday afternoon replevin case from Bridgeport, of E. Rracchi & Co., vs. Richard Brown, was heard before Judge Tyner. The action concerned the, re- plevin of some groceries. Judgment was reserved.
 William Forbes, alias William Jones, seventeen years old, of 127 sylvan ave- nue, was fined $5 and costs on a charge of theft, and judgment was suspended on charge of trespassing on railroad cars.
 When the case of Nathan Kelman, the Wallingford butcher charged with bringing unwholesome food into the city, was called, 1t was nolled on pay ment of costs, as it appeared that Kel- man did not know the rules recently passed by the board of health.
 Judge Tyner continued the charge of perjury against Dentist Francesca P. Terranova, of 19 Wooster place, until July 16. The man is accused of swear ing falsely by saying he was a gradu- ate of an Italian university when he applied for his license to practice.
 Bonefagio Ursini, Antonio De Nicola and Nicola Santaeroce, all charged with

the jury shortly before o'clock on six counts, three for indecent assault and three for common assault. After being out about three-quarters of an hour the jury returned verdict of guilty on all six counts.
 States Attorney Williams recom- mended to the judge jail sentence on each count instead of giving states prison sentences on the first three counts. Judge Wheeler gave Dicenzo eight months on each of the three in- decent assaults counts and four months on each of the other counts making a total of three years in the county jail
 The general impression was that the accused had come off quite we'll in the case as the maximum penalty would allow ten years on each of the first three counts. Attorney Benjamin Slade representing the accused, when asked if the case would be appealed, replied, T don't want to say just now | will give you my opinion, think there will be-"

 Charles Coyle was before the court charged with burglary, He is accused of entering Samuel Lipophys house at 13S Lloyd street. The case went over until July Is.
 A charge of trespassing on railroad property against Antonio Magino, six teen years old, was nolled on payment of costs of $909.
 On charges of drunkenness, John J.. Riley had judgment suspended, and Josephine Kirk was fined $5, Riley was, however, fined $5 and costs of $S.S5 for committing breach of the peace on John Frank of 9S Greene street. Raffaello Maresca, seventeen years old, charged with trespassing on rail- road car had Judgment suspended.
 John D. Mahoney was fined $5 and costs of $714 on a charge of breach of the peace on John Bronkey of A Will lis street.
 A charge of idleness against Austin J. Mclean was nolled. Harry Miller, eighteen years old, was given fifteen days in jail on charge of idleness. On a charge of stealing bi- cycle belonging to Henry Balsomo of Hamilton street, Miller was given sixty days in jail and fined $10 and costs. The theft occurred last May. Miller is re- form school graduate and his home is on State street Miller was arrested some days ago by Detectives Donnelly
