'A despatch from Naples says: The eruption of Vesuvius, which on Satur- day reached a magnitude placing it among the historic displays of Vesuvian. fury, increased in violence on Sunday, and in the evening threatened to become even more terrible. The earth for miles around quaked repeatedly, the shocks Icing felt in Naples, and greatly alarm- ing the citizens. although they caused no harm. Incessant rumblings, groan- ings' and thunderings accompany the repeated explosions at the crater, whence there is an immense discharge of lava, Cinders and hot rocks. Ashes are full- ing over a large part of Southern Italy, oven to the east coast. These and the (tense smoke on Sunday evening blot- ted out all sight of the mountain, the Island of Capri and the Town of Sorrento from Naples. During the day many areas around the mountain were in darkness. The towns and villages have been gen- erally abandoned. Hence the extent. of the damage is unknown fully. Relu-, gees brought. from Torre Annunzita lI'l‘ artillery wagons on Sunday evening ic- ported that the lava stream, striking :1 Villa on the outskirts of that town, (li-, vided, one current flowing in the direc- tion of Pompeii, while the other threat- ened to destroy Torre Annunziata. It has since been reported that the lava, reached the town, sweeping over the bar- xiers that had been erected with the ut- most energy by the military engineers. The latter, together with all the offici- als and the whole population, were com- pelled to abandon the town. The pris- oners in the. city jails were placed on boats and brought. to Naples. No loss of life is reported at Torre Annunziata. but at San Guiseppe a church and sev- eral houses had been wrecked. appar- ently by an earthquake. Several per- sons were killed and injured. The re- mainder of the populace fled in a panic. TOW’NS AND VILLAGES ABANDONED Ottajano. Poggio. Marine. Sorfima, and other towns and villages have been abandoned. Lava is flowing several feet deep through the streets of Ottaja- no. and many houses have fallen. The latest reports from Pompeii state that a lava current 600 feet wide andl 21 feet deep is rapidly nearing that place. The cemetery and some houses; north-west of the town have been de- stroycd. Bosco Reale is also threatened. The railway around the mountain has been wrecked in one or two places. The struction of the crops and the ruinahon of cultivated soil will involve tremend- ous losses. The observatory, on _ slope of the volcano, was held by Dr Matteucci, the director, and his staff, long after a general obServcr would have thought. it possible. Eventually the place had to be abandoned. and it is now destroyed. The funicular railway and Cook‘s Ilotel have been wrecked. The Village of Rosco-Trecase was buried Saturday by the lava which flow- el from the crater formed April 2. The. inhabitants abandoned it in time to save their lives. They had lingered in the hope. of saving their belongings, but. the destroying stream advanced on them so fast that. they finally fled in terror. leaving their possessions behind. The eruption became so violent en the northwest Saturday that. the authorities ordered the. inhabitants of Eliseo-'l‘recuse to leave their homes and retire from the zone of danger. The town had a poinilation of about 10.000. and was the nearest one of importance to the crater. lying le- tween the volcano and Pompeii. The village was then in danger of destruction -l..y the stream of lava which was flow- ing down the south side of the moun- tain. and fine sand was falling upon IL in great quantities. . APPEAL FOR AID. An appeal for aid was sent to the gov- ernment by the Mayor. He asked for hoops and artillery waggons to assist in removing the inhabitants and their valuables to a place of safety. New craters have opened in the sides of the mountain, some of them opposite Naples. The lava issuing from the new crater which was formed on April 2 has now divided into two streams. One of those is flowing south-east toward Ferzingo over the old lava bed of 18%, and is not causing any damage. The other is flowing southward over Bosco- Trccase and the neighboring vineyards. The peasants are fielding services of intercession. addressed especially to St. Anne. the patron saint of Naples. The detonations in the crater continue. and are of the most violent character. There are frequent electric flashes. LEADINGWARKEEISI BREADSTUFFS. Toronto, April 10. -â€" Flourâ€"Export- ers are paying $3.05 for 90 per cent. Ontario patents. buyers’ bags.

Horrible Death of a Five-yearâ€"old Girl at Montreal. A Montreal despatch says: In the finding of the body of Ida May Ahern. a child of five years, lying naked and lifeless in a thicket at Cole St. Paul on Thursday morning, there came to light so pitcous and so fiendish a crime that the whole island of Montreal is shoeked. The. horror of it is intensified by the thought. that a being of such vicious tendencies could have passed through the community almost unnoticed until he had left the unmistakable marks of his unullerablc brutality. Not only had the little girl been lured away from her homeward course after school and sub- jected to a horrible shame. but blue finger prints in the tender flesh show that the monster had not stopped at any ordinary violence. All the clothing, save l shoes and stockings. was stripped away and thrown into the, basement. of '1 church within a few hundred yards of the secluded spot where the outrage took place. A young woman saw the man climbing ever the fence leading from the wood with the clothes in his arms. and several others saw him with the child. and are able to furnish a valuable description of his appearance. Ida has been missing since Tuesday afternoon. having failed to return from school, and when her clothing was found in the church. the distracted mother identified it. That fact in a measure pre- pared the parent for the terrible reality she was soon to face. From the black- ness of this revolting crime a single. ray of mitigation appears. ind that is the. evidence that the murderer was intoxi~ rated at the time. and therefore not fully cognizant of the terrible deed ho was committing. Detectives from both the, Provincial and city staffs have been detailed to work on the case. A number of private citizens are taking part in the search If is believed that the murderer can scarcely escape. so well do all the de- scriptions agree. ._.___+___ MINERS ATTACK POLICE. A Desperate Encounter Near Leth- bridge. A Lelhbridge despalch says: A ser- ious clash between the striking miners and Mounted Police on guard at No. 3 shaft of the Call Mines, about two miles from town, was commenced on Thurs- day by the attempt of the police to 81'- rest one of the strikers for objectionable conduct. A mob of over three hundred men and women attacked the officers, outnumbering the latter fifty to one. and a pitched battle ensued, the police using truncheons freely, while the rioters re- sorted fo stones and missiles. Constable Fitzgerald was seriously. if not fatally, injured, and a number of the mob were badly clubbed. l’teinforcements were hurried out from the barracks here and dispersed the crowd. About the same time desperlte dyna- mite outrages were perpetrated by the strikers or their sympathizers, who at- tempted to blow up the residences and families of .105. Oros and Steve Ungary, non-union men. A charge was placed under the corner of the house of the former and exploded, wrecking that por- tion of the building and smashing the windows in the ‘tdjofning residence. A shot placed under Ungary‘s house did litUe damage. but about an hour later it was set on fire, and the police found the building saturated with coal oil. Further outbreaks are feared. and the police force here are utterly inadequate for such an emergency. .. ....._¢__..._ ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. Messages Sent by the De Forest Wire- less System. A Montreal despatch says: According to a message received here. Dr. Lee De l-‘orest, inventor of the De Forest sys- tem of wireless telegraphy. cabled from Ireland on Friday that messages were coming in perfectly from the American coast station. thereby insuring success 0' the transAtlantic wireless. It had been known that experiments were beâ€" ing made between these two points, which are a little more than three thou- sand miles apart, but. as the instru~ ments at this end were turned practi- callv for sending. it was not precisely known how much matter was beingr caught at the receiving station in Ire- land. Dr. De Forest's cable. however. has convinced the promoters that the rroiert is now on a going basis between the two continents. -_.___+â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" MOSCOW BANK ROBBERY. Ringleader of Ram!

He is a young Russian. iwho arrived in Zurich April 2. and had teen drinking heavily.
