in violence. The inhabitant have com
pletely abandoned Ottajona, and at Teor

normal condition, but ejections are ex
pected to drive the populace away.
Naples is the Mecca and a haven for
tourists. It is tstimited that twj thou
sand livhs are lost a a result of the
eruptions. Property loss is almost be
yond estimation. A manufacturing town
called Sarnor, i ovarwrtlmed with the
ejected lava; San Qenntro, a hamlet i
completely wrecked; while at Somma the
cinder and ashes are six feet deep in the
street. In San Guissepp the debris ani
ashet have reached the third story win
dow. The relief soldier bring stories
from the scene that are fraught to the
extreme with terrifying pictures of de
vastation and loss of life. At Ottajano
five hundred people art killed. .
All hopes for the people who insisted
n ramaininv near. Vesuvius art aban
doned. ' Refugees tell of scores of people
who are buried alive being only (lightly
injured, and are thus doomed to dye by
suffocation. In many place entire
families havt been found dead in a kneel
ing position, all circled about a humble
shrine engaged in prayer, and in this
position they were stricken by the deadly
gaae. The. terrible splendor of the
eruption by night is mor than human
tongue can describe.
The railroad engineer today refuted to
take out the train because of the dark-
nets, and the traffic Is suspended. Many
new craters are forming every hour. In
struments are recording this as the most
violent subterranean agitation in the his
tory of the world mountain. Intrepid, a

five others are mor or less seriously in'
jured. . Tht wreck took place thi morn
ing at tleven forty, about four mile east

low: By tome conflict or mis-interpretation
of order the extra freight train
thought it had the right of way to Hun
tington, and the work train conductor did
not understand his orders to that effect,
and therefore did not get in the clear.

into it. ' The force of the impact was
sufficient to completely demolish the last
five cars of the work train, and make an
almost total wreck of tht freight engine.

ductor Ebersole with engine No. Z63, and
Engineer Heath. The engineer on engine
No. 63 was Ray Carpenter.
