IN ERUPTION. People in the Vicinity of Mount Vesuvius Terror Stricken. GREAT LWA STREAM Running Down on the Pompeii Side, and Cities of Twenty and Thirty Thousand Inhabitants Threatened With Destruction bv Eruption of Volcano. A dispatch from Naples, Italv, save the Inhabitants of t oe villains In tin vicinity of Mount Vesuvius err hi f, condltloi h idering ua a panic. M uty boons have hern abnt d nee for the open air, although there ha? been a thick fog all day and the atmosphere 1 as been dense with volcanic ashes aud the fumes of subterranean lires.

The main stream of lava proceeding from Vesuvius is 2U0 feet wide, and it advances at times at the rate of 21 feet in a minute, the Intense heat destroying vegetation before the strea n reaches it. The pennants of IVrtlol, at the west foot, of Vesuvius, oiea ed their grounds of vineyards and tree* in the etT ?rt to lessen the danger frum tire, and resisted the progress of the lava to their utmost. Trie population ot Bescotreofl on the southern rieclivltv of the mountain have sought safety in Might, and Boseo Rial", to the eastward is also threatened, Worn en of this village, weeping witii fright., carried a statue, of St. Anne as far af they could go the M lwlng lava, im ploring a miracle to stay the advance of the consuming stream. The cemetary at Bosootrecaz has been invaded by lava. The scene at night is one of mingled grandeur and horror, as from the summit of Vesuvius there leaps a column of tire fully a thousand feet in height, the glare lighting the sky and sea for many miles. Occasionally great masses of molten stone, some weighing as much as a ton, areejested from the crater.

The director said to the Assoclatee 1'reBs Friday evening that although eruption presented a grave menace, ho did n >t believe it would reach the villages. Indeed he said the present volca io activity was not altogether unmixed with good, for If it had not come to pasH. a violent and sudden i eruption, having a far wider radius, might have occurred. The erupti6n of Mount Vesuvius is now most violent. On the Pompeii side the main strepm of lava has divided into two, one tnreatening Ottajano, a community of 20,000 inhabitants, and the other threatening Torre oel Greco, with a population of 30,000. The danger is beooming serious and calls for the immediate evacuation of B ?80otrecaz, the nearest village to the crater, which has the population of 9,000 souls. Hurled Tfi? Wrong Maii.

Barnes, to b< pos mas.er of that city. Tneir ap ptals could not have fallen into m ire willing ears, for it will be remembered that a short time ago when Mrs Minor Morris was violently ejected from the White House under the direct oirlers of Mr. Barnes, Senaror TlilmaiJ electrified the Senate with a thr.lllrg uarra .ivcof tho scene arid centerrd I in blgttrkSt shot-ayaiiitit Hune\ lie and he alo v, a<c iriing to a hat, Samt-or Tillman tad lit that time, wa* respi nslolo for the dfsgrect ful scentthat happ< red Its the executive i tlijji f the Wh te House, and the Senator did not spare wo cs In tcl tng his fe low mem be rs of the uppi r house of Coogrei-s what he thought about ttu matter.

Senator Tillma' has already given notice to his fellow members of the Senate that he will exercise his power to block Barnes'confirmation. He will be opposed by Sena'ors Lodge and Hale both right hand men of tbe President, and while it is not thought that Senator Tillman will to able to keep the nomination from eventually going through, he will necessarily hold it up for a while through his efforts. "There are many men in Washing ton more worthy of receiving the appointment as postmaster of that city than Barnes," the Senator says, "and the time has long since passed when fat otllces were distributed among carpetbaggers." The tight will be a live ly one while it lasts. LEVlsR A BALL PLdYJER. Mr. Gaiusnf TenncNHoe IMckw Him for HIH Toam. According 10 a Washington special to the Ohlcrgo Tribune, Chairman Tawney of the appropriation committee and John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee were engaged In a heated discussion tho other day in one of the eapitol cloak rooms. I - was not politics this time, but the national sport which was the subject, and Mr. Gaines domurred to tho Idea that the North and West were the best p'ac s for deve'oping base.all teams, glviug tin idea that big leaguers come South every } car to get Into condition. A free for all discussion ensued and Mr Tawney said he could get 13 Northern and Western men in congress w,,o could defeat a team picked by Mr. Gaines from the Southern Representatives.

Luke Gray appears to hav been be wlldered when he came to Columbia. Me 1h a negro of low mentality, and what he has bed has been 1mpared by a te.rritto blow on the skull when he was run over by a train on ttie Southern railway last summer. There Is a terrlbie fcar on the left side of his head, and he says that the dooto'8 havo told him that h will end his life this summer if he goes out In the sun. .Ju*t exactly what he was Intending to clo when he w< nt to the State cap), tol is ditllcult to learn, but the negro navs that he came here to "give hlirse'f up." Cafes ir Chisholm, the wise old messenger r f it e governor's olllre, wno has learned u?uch in his time, ? iirniu ii.vu^iD^ arounu i!ic capltol, and thought, there was somethifi/ suspicious In his behavior "T .e man looked like a vagabond " said Cat sar, "and 1 began to question oiai 11(5 sad to me that ne was afraid to kg to Aiken, and 1 thought Loathe was running from too lynchers. 1 totd lum th>s was the place if he wanted protection, and 1 got htm to tome Inside." About that time Caesar was sent, up street on s< me errand by the gc v ernor and the negro remained In the corridor of the State capltol, where his appearance caught toe attention t f some of the attaones of the < tlloes, but they satd nothing about It at the time. When Caesar came back he questioned his protege closely. Luke Gray mad no attempt to conceal his name or identity from the beginning. He said that he had had a ditllculty with a white man and was afraid to go back to Aiken. "What did you do to him?" asked Caesar. "Shot him," was the laconic answer. "And what became of him?" asked Caesar. "1 been told that he is dead," said the negro in reply. Caesar thought It was then ab( ut time to look Into the matter from the standpoint of the governor's ottloe, and be started 10 ask Oov. Hey ward if a reward bad been ctfered for tills fugitive, and to wee if tbere was on llle any information as to the coirimls sion of the crime. Heforo going to the governor wltb the information, however, Caesar saw Mr. Iiiers, the State bouse otlicer, and called Mm to take charge of the fugitive. Mr. Hlers otllcl&liv put the negro under arrest after conferring with Gov. Ileyward as to the crime in which the nagro admitted his participation. Mr. Iiiers toik the negro over 10 the police station and put him in a cell for safe-keeping until M* could communicate with the sheriiT of Aiken countv. Luke Gray Ulls a strange story. He declares that he did not attempt to kill Mr. Wo >dward, but shot in selfdefense A( ending to his story, he had gone to the depot to see about a freight car being placed for some wood, and while at Moncmorenci he went to Mr. Woodward's store and taxed the latter with having annoyed the negro's wife that afternoon. Mr. Woodward pulled a knife out of his pocket, so tne negro says, and advanced. Luke backed out. of the store and down toward the railroad station, where Mr. Wood ward caughe up with him and made a ^hfth at". t.h? nc%itrr\ fP>w? lui.n. ....... I.v V>'U m^iui A IIC lf?

VY up his left hand and ciught the blow, but a deep cut was made* Mr. Woodward then made another lunge and the ne gio threw up bis left arm again. lie states that be felt sure that Mr. Wood ward meant to kill him, so be deliberately shot Mr. Woodward with a shotgun. The shot to k effect In the wounded man's leftside and he lln gered for a month. The negro claims that he had been carrying the pun constantly, for he as en ploved by Mr J. II. Ohapmau 10 cut wood, and in tne walk of tlve miles to and from bis house every ray fie managed to kill some game oc casi uiaHy. Mr Cnapm&n had expected i car t< > le placed that day for some vood that he was going to ship and to told the negro to go by and see If tne car had been placed. It was at that time that he proceeded to take Mr. Woodward to task. Gray is l :j years old. He says that Mr. Woodward was a young man and unmarried and that he had a reputaLlou In that community which made colored men dislike him. He also declares that the place of business that Mr. Woodward kept was not such a place as was above suspicion from the dispensary authorities and for that reason there was always somewhat of a crowd hanging around and he was afraid to give himself up that night, for fear that he would he harmed. The negro's story was heard by a number of white people and they seemed Impressed with the f&ot that he was trying to tell the truth. He gave particulars to show his cause of grievenoa with the deceased, but denies that he did more than to go to Mr W .odward to reroostrat*. Afrer the shooting Gray fled down Into Barnwell county, to Barton's mi'l the sain*! place where young Hiwards was a refuse after the Eutiwville lynching, which exalted so much of a stir list year. Here Gray has remalnded at work In the saw mill owned by Mr. GilT >rd, and evidently has beer, kept aivlsed by his ''own color." H? had started to Aiken to surrender when he heard of Mr. Wood ward's death, but when he not to Willlston naif way between Montmoreocl and Barton, be learned that there vas considerable ft eling against him and it was not. advisable for him to go there. Consequently, he came od 10 Columbia, and as has been stated, he appeared to be somewhat bewildered after he got hf re, althf ugh he declares U to have been his deliberate pur pose to surrender. Toe negro does not d.'ny that he shot with the intention of killing, but denies that he carried the gun there for that purpose. He says that B >b CorDv and another negro were eve witness. He does not know whether or not any others saw the shooting. WHEN J )S IJGIN RESIGNED. Tho (Jnl?|iin ltcport of a Confederate C inoilHHary at Laurene. T)war ! r the close of the war the pitrlotsof the south were called cn t) pay a tax In kind, or a tenth of all the land had yielded. This was one way of feeding a famished army. These stores were collected at and dispensed from designated points in each county. At a little railroad station in Lau reus otunty, Capt. Davis ha.J detailed a trusted friend, .1 je L gon, to act as oceiving and disbursing diner. Formal orders from the urouer authorities were required to secure the provisions; but always of a kindly nature, Joe Llgon could never refuse a ragged, hungry fellow soldier, order or no order. These were passing dally, sd the scanty hoard was soon gone. As the time for rendering his report of "stores on hand" drew near, he real '/.id that by ever so charitable a construction bis stewardship could not fall to fall in the class known as "unprt iitable," so he took time by the forsook and addressed the following urfq le ctliolal communication to his superior; Martin's Depot, S.

My Dsar Captain: Pursuant to your Instructions I have stayed by tbestutT here until the returning soldiers have euchred me out of every damn thing in sight t x^ept the boards on the commissary. 1 herewith hand you my r^slgna tion in disgrace and disgust.

ABOUT PUSH BALL. How TliIn Very Interestlnir G?me la I'll* yed. I'lish ball Is played on a gridiron Held or lloor IL'O yards long by tlfty wide, with goal posts at either end twenty feet apart and connected by a crossbar seven feet from the ground. The mammoth ball, almost globular in shape, should measure six feet In diometer and weigh between forty-eight and fifty pounds. It is usually iutlated with compressed air. The ball is placed In the middle of the field, and the teams line up as follows: Five forwards ou the forty yard line, two left and two right wings ou the twenty yard line and two goal keepers on the goal line, eleven men each. At the sound of the referee's whistle both sides plunge at full speed upon the ball, and then the fun begins. If the ball Is caught fairly between the two human battering rams there is n rebound from its elastic sides that sends the players sprawling like tenpins. It does not take long, however, for tlie entire twenty-two men to get around the sphere, put their shoulders to the wheel, so to speak, and push for every ounce of energy In them. The heavier, stronger team will, of course, have the advantage, but some trick plays have been Invented which lend variety to the game and redeem it from being u featureless contest of more bruwii and muscle. ?

For reading during convalescence the British Medical Journal proscribes literature that cheers hut does not inebriate, and warns persons recovering from Illness against writers "whose style, like that of (leorge Meredith, puts n constant strain on the understanding of the render, or, like that of Maurice Hewlett, Irritates by lis artificial glitter, or like that of Marie C'orelli, annoys by Its frothy Impertinence." Dickens should go well during convales- I cence, except "Pickwick," at least in surgical cases, because of the many side splitting episodes which would play havoc with the union of parts. For the same reason, in order that healing granulations may not be interfered with, Mark Twain's works are absolutely Interdicted. "Smiles' 'Self Help' Is quite Innocuous," says the learned Journal, "but we should be cautious in recommending It In order that the patient may not thereby be led to meditate over a misspent career and to have suggested to him nff the opportunities in life ho might have grasped, but did not. A desj>ondency might thus be Induced which would delay a restoration to health, and which might even prove fatal, Thackeray, except 'Vanity Fair,' which Is a pessimistic book, should go very well; 'Pendennls' and 'Barry Lyndon' will certainly entertain." SKULLS FOR CUPS. Rarltnrnun CtiNtom of Fierce Trll?e? of Nnrllinni Tho barbarous custom of converting the skulls of enemies Into drinking cups was a common one In ancient times among the lleree tribes of northern Europe and was not unknown t? the people of the more civilized regions farther south. The Italian poet, Marino, causes an assemblage of friends to quaff their wine from tlie skull of Minerva, and In ills "Wonder of a Kingdom" Torrent makes Dakker say : Wquld I had ten thousand soldiers' heads, Their skulls set all In silver, to drink healths To his confusion who first invented war. Thomas Middleton, a dramatic writer of tho early part of the seventeenth century, is believed to he the origiuator of the phrase, "A soldier's drinking cup," as applied to a human skull. In "The Witch," one of his most celebrated plays, the duke takes a bowl, which he Is told Is a human skull, whereupon be exclaims: Call It u soldier's, cup. Our duchess, I know, will pledge ?m. though tho cup Was once her father's head, which aa a trophy We'll keep till death. One of the delights of the immortals, as represented in the old Scandinavian sagas, is that of drinking to drunkenness from the skulls of vanquished foes.
