(By the Associated Press.) Naples, April i). ( Noon). This morning early Naples had returned to lier normal self. The day was brilliant, the sky cloudless, the waters of the Mediterranean were blue and unrippled, in place of the melan choly graynoss of the last few days, and beiter still the menacing column of smoke from Vesuvius had almost disappeared, and though the smaller craters still gave forth smoke the wind had turned it. in another direc tion, and r.n air of peace and spring time had spread over Naples and i'.s vicinity. Hut. this scene of quiet was lurnod inlo mourning later when the news of i he collapse of the root ol the Monie Olivet to market, and the loss of life became known. The people who gathered about the market were soon in n state of great excitement, which increased when the recovery of the bodies commenced. .lust .previous to this disaster reu nions processions had besn passing through the streets of this city, the people desiring to render thanks to the Almighty for having apparently averted much greater disasters than those hitherto recorded here. Here and there these processions wended their way with images of the ma donna or saints, dressed in most gor geous robes of cheap" blue or yellow satin, borne above seas of dark heads, mostly; those of . women, walking arm in arm and chanting as they moved along the main thorough fares, individuals stopping now and then to exchange jokes with passers by. These motley but picturesque iirticenKioiis were led by numbers of hoys walking two and two and car-1 ' ryins lighted candies, wnicu nicKeieu faintly in Ihe bright sunshine. Only in a few cases did priests accompany the processions, which in the main seemed to he local and spontaneous affairs organized on the moment in various districts. The news of the market disaster changed this brilliant scene to one of gloom, and the processions quickly disbanded. Collapse of Market. Naples, April 10. A frightful dis aster has occurred in the center of this-f elly following the eruption of Mount, Vesuvius. Two hundred people, it is estimat ed, were buried this morning in the ruins of the market Monte Oliveto, when the roof collapsed 'under the weight of cinders from the volcano.

Little children played about the stands, adding gaity to the scene, the like of which is not to be witnessed outside Naples. Suddenly, with scarcely a tremor of warning, there was a terrifying crash, and the brilliant sight disap peared in a cloud of dust while shrieks of agony rent the air.

Indian 'when' Mr. Garrett met the swindlers by appointment in tlie woods near Greensboro to buy the gold brick. Daly's sentence was for seven years. The third man, Howard, is still in prison serving his ten year term. The crime for which Hawley, Howard and Daily were convicted was mitted In 11)00. They were tried be fore Judge Shaw and sentenced by him to ten and seven years, the lighter term being for Daily. Every effort was made to get the sentences mitigated and the case was even taken to tne noeiui court and application' made in vain to the supreme court of the 'United Slates, when Judge Thomas It. Purnell here dismissed the petition for habeas cor pus. Stephen A. Douglas, of Chicago was of counsel for the men. The law yers in this state were well nigh .unani mously of the opinion that the North Carolina law did not warrant the. long terms given the men for that crime but public .sentiment was overwhelmingly against the prisoners. Hawley was about 11 ft y years old, and since he entered the prison. June 3, PiOl, ho has been in the hospital nearly all the time, suffering from a disease of the liver. He claimed New York lis ills home and little is known of him outside of the fact that he seemed to have some influential friends there who ready and anxious tn rld Inm. In fact, when the tirst. effort was inane to get a. pardon for Hawley and How ard, their friends in Haleigh were so lavish in display 'of their money 'that Governor Aycock' .instructed - Supt. J. S. Mann to have the men brought from Halifax farm, where tin y hud ' been sent, to .the prison and kept here the remainder of their terms.

She has ap pealed '-personally to both Gover nor Aycock and Governor 111 mil hr behalf of her husband, Last fall, after investigation. Governor Glenn an nounced that he would not pardon Haw ley or Howard. This news compel ely crushed Hawley and for awhile it was thought that he would not survive many weeks. His wife has remained in Raleigh and visited him often. The body of this man, once evidently a prosperous citizen" in a distant city, but a man who by his act of crime in order to get money blasted his life and brought misery to his friends, was re moved this afternoon from the prison to Brown's undertaking establishment, where it was embalmed.

As he walked through the crowd he was for a time in danger of bodily harm, so great was the crush. The police seemed powerless to hold back the spectators. When he had trav eled about half across the depot plat form, a man waving a legal paper sprang at him. .It was thought at tirst to be an attempt to do Dowie physical harm.

Macon of Arkansas Intimates Statement About Southern is a Bluff SMALL CHARGES HE LIBELED W$m When Mr. .Macon Rose to Deny That He Had Libeled Anyone, Ho Was Called to Order By Ihj Chair Mr. Small Defended Subsidy Pwl to Southern, and Said "Anathemas" Hurled At This Road In View of Its Inestimable Service Came Willi Bad Grace. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, April 10. -The house convened at 11 o'clock today. In tha absence of Speaker Cannon, Mr. Dal zell (Penn.) was elected speaker pro tern, : Chief Clerk Browning calling the house to order. Owing to the early hour of meet ing there was but a small attendance of members. Immediately after the journal had been approved the post office appro priation bill was taken up, the desire of the chairman of the post office and ' post roads committee, Mr. Overstreet (Ind) being to complete general de bate on Wednesday. Mr. Johnson (S. C.) said that not withstanding the receipt of many letters from constituents of his, whose judgment he respected, he would be compelled to antagonize the special mail subsidy carried by the bill in favor of certain lines of railroad in the south and west. He said that he did not go into a frenzy when the word "railroad" was mentioned. "That because some corporations had sinned against the government it did not follow that all corporations were sinners." .'' He resented the insinuation on the part, of some of the members of the house that the subsidy for the South ern Railway was due to the sparsely settled sections of the south. He said satirically that sparsely settled New England with slow going ox trains, he presumed, had not a rail road in all its dominions that re ceived as much mail pay as the South ern received between Washington and Danville, Va. Mr. Rundell (Texas) addressed the house on his bill prohibiting railroad, telegraph, telephone, steamship or ex press companies from giving to any member of congress or any judge of any federal court any free pass or transpor tation or anything of value. He said he had hoped for a favorable report on the measure from the judiciary com mittee, but he had to admit that it was being "strangled" In that body and that the speaker had refused him considera tion. He called attention to the magni tude of the free pass evil and called upon the members of the house to "awake to a realization of the serious ness of the situation." Mr. Small (N. C), defended the sub sidy which is paid to the Southern Rail way. He said the "anathemas" which, were hurled at this road in view of the inestimable service furnished came with bad grace. A letter from First Vice President Andrews of the Southern Railway, declaring that if the mail subsidy to that road is withdrawn the mail train affected would he abandoned, was de nounced in the house by Mr. Macon (Ark.), who intimated that the let ter was a "bluff." In a heated ex change between Mr. Macon and Mr. Small (N. C), who had the floor, the latter charged that Mr. Macon had "insulted the integrity and manhood of the house and libeled Colonel Andrews." When Mr. Macon rose to deny that he had libelled any one, he was called to rder by the chair. Mr. Small was challenged by Mr. Stanley (Ky.), who asked If he had not said that the appropriation was exclusively for the benefit of the peo ple along the Southern Railway. Mr. Small denied this. Mr. Stanley: "Is it true?" Mr. Small: "I guess the gentleman is looking for the word "subsidy." Mr. Stanley: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. I would call it a 'steal'." Mr. Small: "All right, If It 'AW tit the gentleman's Idea of the dignity of debate." Mr. Stanley: "A debate never be comes too dignified to denounce a wrong." i
