To those who advised prudence he replied: My post is now there.''
 Frank A. Perrit Arrives.
 Frank A. Ferret. of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is attached to the Royal observa- tory on Mount Vesuvius, arrived here today and proceeded immediately to the scene Of the eruption.
 It has now been ascertained that the openings from which the lava is is- suing number fourteen. The heat from the currents is so intense that it is impossible to approach nearer than 15O feet to them. The progress down the mountain side of the lava now aver ages fifteen feet every seven minutes.
 Late tonight it was considered most probable that the streams would pass between Borrello and Nicolosi with out touching them.
 Pleading for Assistance.
 The peaple are pleading for assist ance, especially for carts in which to remove their household effects from the volcanic region. The government has turned over to the prefeet $2,00O with which to assist needy peasants.

 Citizens corps badges were present. ed to several new members of that or ganizatiOn, President ID. A. Tracy of the Board of Trade, Coroner Franklin H. Brown, Councilman John Heath and Tax. Collector Thomas A. Robinson.
 A letter from General William A. Aiken was read, expressing to the Citf- zens' corps thanks for a dozen porch chairs which the corps has presented to the post
 The two speakers at the campfire were Arthur H. Brewer and Edwin A. Tracy, both members of the Citizens corps. They pleased their audience highly with their remarks, Mir. Brewer cent trip to Europe, and MT. Tracy speaking eulogistically of the service rendered for the country by the veter- ans of the Grand Army, and also re- feTring to some of his experiences when he carried The Bulletin as newsboy in this city during the Civil war.
 A reference by MT. Tracy to the ob- ngation upon the coming generation to support and retain the Buckin gham Memorial was heartily seconded by Commander Hoyey, who thanked the speaker for referring to that point.
 T1r IT Inn av1f br1f <ax- Commander Hoyey had given him a pledge that he should not be called up- on to speak, the commander merely asked His Honor to stand up for a minute and be looked at, which the mayor obligingly did.
 Oyster patties from the Wauregan 'ouse, with coffee and doughnuts, were served, with the assistance of members of the W. R. c. and the Citizens corps. The orchestra played for an enjoyable period which closed the campfire.

MARCH GALE TANNED FLAMES.
Essex, Hamilton and Revere, Suffer
 Aggregate Loss of $200,0o0

Boston. March 25.-Fanned by a strong March gale, three fires caused much damage in North Shore districts today. Essex, Hamilton and Revere each suffered from the flames. The total loss is estimated at s200,000 in the three places including S100.000 in South Hamilton. s75,000 in Essex and $25.000 in the Franklin park district of Revere.
 In the Franklin park fire, seven dwelling houses were wholly or partly destroyed. Eight large filled icehouses were destroyed at Lake ChebaSo, near Essex Center and in order to save their homes, all the villagers had to turn out to fight the flames. From the icelfouses the fire spread through two miles of woodland and was barely checked at the edge of the village.
 Flames Covered Large Area.
 In South Hamilton the flames swept over an area three-quarters Of a mile square, leve1ing 21 buildings. of them residences. The district bound ed by Mill, Ashley. Willow and Main streets, only few hundred yards from the center of South Hamilton, tonight hundred and fifty persons are home less.
 Occupants Fiee from Buildings.
 The speeding gale spread the flames so quickly from house to house that the occupants had barrel ytfme to flee, tt-s1s siHS tiirii f-Oou1 DSst%A.o Practically nothing was saved. Most of the buildings burned carried some insurance, but the aggregate did not amount to over 5000, probably.
 The origin of the fire, which started in the residence of George Adams, is not known. As soon as the local fire men arrived with their small engines and two hose carts they saw that the sitl ation called for help and an appeal was sent at once to Ipswich, Salem and Beverly, all of which sent en- zines. None of the burned buildings belonged to summer residents.
