IscHIA,. CALAMITY.


NAPLES, July 80.
Prof. Palmieri, director of the meteor
illogical observatory on Vesuvius, states that
the disaster on the island of Ischia Saturday
night, by which three towns were destroyed
and great number of lives lost. was not
due to an earthquake but to the subsistence
of the ground
The scenes in Naples occasioned by the &C.
cident are heartrending. The hospitals are
crowded with wounded survivors, and the
dead houses are filled with bodies of victims.
Several Neapolitan ladies have been recov-
cred from the ruins. Five honses remain
standing at Casamicciola. Cries for help
can be heard corning from the ruins. Sappers
are hard at work endeavorihg to rescue per
sons still alive. Boats from the island filled
with dead bodies are arriving at Naples con-
stantly.
Many women and children were among
the victims. Wooden huts will be built i'm
mediately for the accommodation of the sur
yivors. The municipal authorities of Naples
are sending relief to the island and doing al!
in their power to alleviate the distress of the
people. Most of the corpses recovered seem
discolored by dirt and after they have been
washed the features of the victims are I'M
recognizable. Many of the police force at
Casamicciola were killed. A boat has ar

infants. Few persons were taken from the
ruins alive last night Eight hundred more
troops went to the scene of the disaster last
night.
The shocks began at $50 Saturday night.
At that hour a majority Of the people of the
upper classes were at the theatre. All steam
ers PLYING between Ischia and the main land
were Immediately chartered by the govern
ment to bring the wounded from the island.
The excitement in Italy may be imagined
from the fact that there were 1000 visitors in
Ischia including wealthy r oman and Neapol
itan families, and several deputies who were
taking the baths there.
The syndic of Cassamicciola says the shock
came with irresistible violence and was &C.
companied by deafening noise, The con-
fusion in the theatre was fearful. The lights
were overthrow and set fire to the building.
A dense cloud of dust filled the air. Cries
of pain and terror were heard on all sides.
On hearing the shouts of 'to the sea-" gen.
eral rush was made toward the shore. Every
boat and floating thing was taken by assault

THE STRIKE.
The Western Union Claims that Sixteen
Operators Have Returned to Work.

New YORK, July 80
The Western Union officials says that five
operators have returned to work in this city
today and eleven more in other cities.
When asked this morning whether it was
the intention to order out the railroad men
today, Master Workman John Campbell re-
piled that he could not answer definitely as
to when further steps would be taken in the
matter. Perhaps nothing would be done, he
said, as the strikers considered their position
a strong one, and were satisfied to fight it
out, no matter how long it may take.
At the Western Union Office today, the
force has been increased by five deserters
from the ranks of the brotherhood, who had
applied for work. This is denied by the
strikers. Two more strikers returned to
work this morning at Montreal, and one at
Raleigh, N. e.
Three additional men have been secured
at various points, but no other strikers have
returned. If the threatened strike of Rail-
road operators should occur, it is said that it
would undoubtedly cause the company some
Inconvenience, but all responsibility for dam
eyes caused by such an event would fall upon
the railroad companies, who are under con-
tract with the Western Union to furnish op-
orators, At most, it would only effect the
business of small villages and railroad sta
siOns, as the Western Union company has an
office of its own in every town of any impor-
lance.
The officers of the telegraphers' brother
hood haye ordered all operators on railroad
telegraph lines not to transmit Western
Union messages.

Great excitement is manifested
The officers and crew of the steamship on

out and corroborated the suspicious of the
passengers, but repudiate having had any

CAPTAIN WEBB'S BODY
Discovered More Than Six Miles Below
The Whirlpool.

BUFFALO, July 30.
On Tuesday last Captain Webb made his
foolhardy attempt to swim the whirlpool
rapids and whirlpool of the Niagara river.
Yesterday his body was found at Lewiston.
nearly four miles below the treacherous
malstrom which he was so confident of pass
ing with his life. The body was discovered
by Richard Turner, mason of youngstown,
who was out on the river in skiff 1t was
brought ashore and taken into boat-house
and curious crowd soon collected. To
those who knew Captainl Webb in life the
body was at .once identified althouz h it was
face downward. The arms were extended
as though in the act of taking a swimming
stroke, and the feet were likewise extended
as though in the act Of swimming. In this
position the body was found. The flesh was
bloated to double the usual size, but none of
tine features were disfgured. On the right
thigh of the body was found a deep hesh
wound. Above the small of the back on the
left side was another flesh wound. The body
was at length turned face upward. 1t pre-
scented terrible appearance. Over the left
temple was deep cut. which was only a
flesh wound however. In the absence of any
physicians, the body was pulled half way
into a skiff. Then it was found that directly
on the top of the head was a cash about three
inches long, penetrating to the brain. This
would seem to be the cause of death. The
body of the swimmer lay in the boat-house
guarded by half-drunken sailor until six
O'Clock, when jury was impannelled, and
the body was removed to an Undertaking
room. The inquest will begin on Monday,
but is not likely to develope any facts not
heretofore reported. The swimming drawers
was still about Webs loins when the body
was discovered In turning over the body,

Webb there is no doubt. Local physicians
urge that thorough examination Of the body
Is Of the greatest Importance. to determine
whether the captain had the life crushed out

he Was drowned or whether he lost his life by |
diving and striking on . jagged stone, in
dicting the wound on his head.

The Southern Exposition.

The Southern Exposition to be held at
Louisville will be opened on Wednesday
of this week. The exhibition promises to
be one of great interest. Our Southern
brethren will make the best display posi-
bic of their industries OF all kinds. Presi-
dent Arthur will be present at the opening,
make an address, and set in motion all
the machinery of the great show. The
vast building with is annexes. the art gall
lery and the park will be illuminated by
thousands Of electric lights, making a
brilliant spectacle. The display will be
on . scale never before attempted and it is
believed will settle all doubts as to the
practical utility and economy of electricity
for such purposes.
The programme for August will be
varied from day to day. Early in August
everything in the art gallery will be in
readiness. 1t will be filled with the
choicest works Of foreign and American
artists, loaned by prominent art collectors
Of New York. Boston, Newport, Philadel-
phia, Chicago. Cincinnati and Louisville,

by any art display on this continent.
Fireworks and music will abound and
flowers will be displayed in great profu-

ers will hold their convention and make
an exhibition which will do much to ad-
vance this steadily growing interest.
For September there will be new fea-
lures. new sights, new wonders and OBJ
jects of interest, and so the exhibition will
continue.
We hope this Exposition will be well
patronized by all parts Of our country.
Northern people may there learn more of
the industries and productions of the
South than most of them have been able
to learn. A visit and inspection OF the
exhibits will be worth much in the way of
instruction to all who are so fortunate as
to attend. While it will be pleasure to
citizens of the cool ATTITUDES to observe
what our neighbors can do in the South in
agriculture, horticulture, manufactures.
art. and create kindlier feeling toward
that section Of the country, it will also
have a powerful tendency to stimulate
industrial enterprise in the Southern
States. break down the old feeling of caste
and contempt for labor which exists there,
and send them forward in progressive
career which will excel anything in their
former history. 1t would be a grand thing
for the States of the South to bend their
energies TO the development of the natural
resources which they have and the multi
plying Of industries that will make work
for idle hands and employ capital. They
will find it much more profitable and
agreeable to compete with us in that way
than with powder and ball We trust the
Exposition may do much good to all sec
tons of our country. 1t will be deserving
of patronage merely for what will be ex-
hibited and as means to make the North
and South better acquainted and better
friends its value can scarcely be esti-
mated.
