RIVER OF LAVA ROLLS ON
Burning Torrent from Etna
Spreads Terror in Its Path.
PEASANTS IMPLORE MERCY
Destroys Vineyards, Orange and
Lemon Groves and Makes
10000 Homeless.

Catania. Sicily, Sept. 1.-THE river
of lava from Mount Etna is still ad-
vancing. sweeping all before il. Thou
sands Of people have been driven
from their homes. Hoping to arrest the
advance of the flaming stream. the
peasants erect before their vineyards
and humble homes a cross Of sticks ana
place on top pictures of the Madonna
and the saints. but these barriers OF
faith have in nowise tended to check
the flow from the mountain.
Crowds Of peasants gather to kneel
and beat their breasts. calling for mercy
and declaring that this must be pun
ishment for their sins. Mgr. Arista.
Bishop of Acireale, has gone TO the front
to encourage the faithful, to conduct
services. lead the professions and i'm
part a benediction TO the people.
The house of Giuseppe Rampolla. a
relative of Cardinal Rampolla, has been
overwhelmed by the lava, which is Ok
pectcd to enter the Alcantara River
soon. Three thousand years ago the
lava from Mount Etna swept into the
same river. the bed Of which is now
sixty feet deep. The entire crest Of
Etna has been changed by the present
disturbance. ragged elevations having
appcared which look like the teeth OF
an immense saw.
Many pathetic incidents have resulted
from the present visitation. A young
Ueasant who lately had returned from
America had invested his small savings
in 2 vineyard. This was destroyed, and
when he saw the last vine gone he threw
himself on the ground. determined to
die in the flames. Carabineers rescued
him by force.
The twenty thousand inhabitants or
Castiglione and Francavilla turned their
backs on their homes to-day, fleeing be-
fore the advancing flood Of lava. Both
towns are threatened with destruction.
The discharge from the crater and
now assures increases in volume. The
main stream pouring down the north
eastern side Of the volcano. has made its
way sIuggishly about and over the foot
hills toward the base. crossed the railway
and invaded the valley Of the Alcantara.
To-day the front fifty feet high and a
third OF a mile wide. broke over long
declvity and. gathering velocity, forced
the peasant dwellers in its path to make
a hurried retreat. 1t spread through and
burned the orange and lemon groves and,
engulfng the many springs in the neigh
borhood. cut off the water supply of sew
eral villages.
When the stream was within three
miles on Castiglione and Francavilla the
people collected their portable property
and. with their farm animals and house
hold pets. made for the higher places.

WINS THE $1,000 WAGER

New London, Conn. Sept. 14.-One Of
the most remarkable boat races ever
witnessed on Long Island Sound ended
here this afternoon. when F. j. Gould s
ocean going steam yacht Helenita was
defeated 10y the 16-foot hydroplane
Hazel. owned by Albert +. Smith. The
boats left Huntington Bay a few sec
onds after o'clock p. m. on a speed and
endurance run for this harbor sixty
eight nautical miles. or about seventy
five land" miles, on a bet of $1,000.
At 4:53 o'clock the Hazel rounded Pc
quot House Wharf. at the mouth of New
London harbor. jumping like jack rab-
bit over the surface of the water. Mr..
Goulds 1s5-foot yacht came in forty
eight minutes afterward.
The steam yachts in port gave the VIC
tor a rousing welcome with their sirens
Aboard the Hazel were A. F. Smith and
the designer. Mr.. Chase, of the Electric
Boat Company, of Bayonne, y. ].
Mr.. Gould congratulated the victor.
He said he had relied upon the Hazel
Island Sound and was much surprised
when the Hazel made the long distance
run without mishap. The Helenita, ten
years old, without any preparation for
the race reeled off an average Of little
better than eighteen knots, or twenty
and one-half land miles.
AS the Helenita was built for only
seventeen knots. Mr.. Gould is pleased
with the performance to-day and thinks
the craft made record for four-hour
steam yacht speed test. Aboard the
Helenita in the race were Mr.. and Mrs
F. J. Gould, George II. Taylor, Mrs
Goulds sisters, the Misses Kelly; Henry
Il. Sutphen. Captain John Shaw and
Henry l. Yates.
The Helenta carried three hundred
pounds Of steam and was blowing off
when she came into part. Twenty gall
Ions Of fuel oil was consumed by the
Hazel and three gallons of lubricating
oil trickled through the little racers
journals.
The Hazel came within an ace Of going
to the bottom of Long Island Sound
when she was an hour out Of Hunting
ton. A long yellow pine joist missed the
Hazel by about eighteen inches
The Heienita's crew hoisted the Hazel
on her davits. and the crew Of the victor
also boarded the Gould yacht, which will
leave here for New York tomorrow
morning.
