The Earthquake at IsChia.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE ISLAND AND THE
ILL.FATED TOWN.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE ISLAND AND TIL
ILL.FATED TOWN.
Ischia Is an island containing 81 square
miles and lying in the Mediterranean
about fifteen miles from Naples. 1t is Of
volcanic origin. Its coasts are steep and
rocky. Near its center is the volcano ol
Epomeo, 1000 feet above the sea. Its first
]eruption was in 1901. There are also
twelve smaller volcanoes. The interest.
ing valleys are of extraordinary fertility,
producing corn, wine and fruits in abun-
dance. The Castle of Ischia stands on a
high isolated rock of volcanic turf and
ashes.
The inhabitants of Casamicciola are
principally peasants, who cultivate the
grape. The town has nearly five thousand
inhabitants, and it is also much patronized
by tourists and invalids, who 60 there 10
take the waters. Its baths are largely
| frequente by sufferers with lung disor-
ders and skin diseases, and there are
always a throng of visitors at the hotels
Bellevue and LaGran Sentinella. In the
days of the Roman empire the baths were
in high repute, and their fame has
descended to modern times. In the sum
mer seas on invalids from all countries take
the boats from Naples which run several
times day, and land at little har Dor
distant about mile from the town and
thence proceed on donkey back to Casa
| micciola.
The town is the smallest one on the
island of Ischia, but it is the favorite
resort. Fiore, the largest town, has a
population of 5000. Then comes Ischia
with 6100 and Casamicciola with between
1000 and 5000. The view from the
mountains is especially fine.
In March, 1881, CasamiccioIa was par
TALLY destroyed by an earthquake. The
| shock lasted seven seconds. 1t was accom-.
panied by noise like subterranean thun
der. Then came the crash of falling
houses, mingling with the shrieks OF vic.
tins. Mothers were found with infants
still clinging to their breasts. AT the
Villa C'ammetti two girls, who were
playing on doorstep. were struck dead
by the falling architrave. Two hundred
houses were thrown down and many
others were damaged and made uninhab-
table. The loss of life was not nearly so
large as on this occasion, but more than a
hundred men. women and children per.
ished. About three hundred people were
injured
Another earthquake occurred at Casa
micciola in February, 1928. AS the morn
ing broke Vesuvus sent forth smoke
flames and stones, but the springs in the
Campagna gave no Indications, as they
usually do, before an eruption. Their
temperature remained unchanged, although
seven hours previously slight quakings
occurred at several places in the kingdom
of Naples. Suddenly at 1915 A, NJ,
three loud explosions were heard on the
coast of Casamicciola, as if they came
from beneath upward, or from the interior
of the Epomeo volcano outward. In three
seconds the fatal undulatory shock came,
laying part of the town in ruins and
killing number of people.

OTHER FAMOUS EARTHQUAKES.

Casamicciola is one of the two greo
! earthquake zones, the other district beine
the western portion of South America
In no century since the earliest recorded
history has Southern Italy and Sicily
escaped suffering from frequent and severe
earthquakes. In Sicily, in 1903, GO,0O(

in consequence of an earthquake. The
earthquake att ended with the most seriou.
results in the destruction of human life
was that of 526, when 250,00O human
beings persisted, according to Gibbson's
figures. Antioch, which had previously
been destroyed at least twice, and several
other Syrian cities were completely destroy.
ed. and the shock extended into Italy
where great da mage to life and property
resulted. In 63 Hercuaneum and Pom
peii were destroyed by an earthquake,
this being 16 years before the burial of
those cities by the eruption of Vesuvus
The city of Judea was destroyed in 3 b.
G T., when 10000 people lost their lives.
The most famous earthquake of history
was that at Lisbon, November |, 1855,
when $4,000 people were buried alive aud
30, 900 more were killed. Calabria, Mes
81, and number of smaller villages were
February 5, 1888, and some
100000 lives were lost. In 1925, Murcia,
Spain, was destroyed, $500 houses being
thrown down and couple of thousand
people being killed. Lima and its harbor,
Callao, in Peru were destroyed in 1886,
and again in 1746, and thousands persisted.
Arequipa, Peru, was wiped out of existence
IN 1868. $4,000 people being left homeless,
and several thousands losing their lives.
In tho same year the cities of Ibarra and
Ottawalla were destroyed, and net one of
their 10000 inhabitants escaped, or could
ever be found afterward. Catocachy was
also obliterated from the face of the earth,
and lake now covers the spot where it
stood. In that earthquake the United
States war vessel Wateree was carried
from the harbor of Callao two miles
inland. The famous earthquake which
devastated and depopulated Callao in
1892, continued at intervals for four wears.
1t took but three minutes for an earthquake
to make the entire city of Port koval,
Jamaica, complete wreck in 1902. and
even less time for the destruction of San
Salvador, in the West Indies, March 10,
1873. The city of Mendoza. in the Argen
tine Republic, was destroyed and 1900
people killed by shock of but moments
duration in March, 1861.

Senatorial Gossip.

For the past few months it has
been the custom of people to
laughinyly assert that Jewett
Adams was pulling the wires for
the u. s. Senatorship. No one
seemed to be in earnest, but men
toned the matter casually as an
illustration Of his ambition or gall.
The APPEAL can state with author
itv that Jewett Adams is Candidate

being elected. He recently held .
confab with Bob Heating and
others in the Washe Club rooms
relative to the matter and plan OF
operations was outlined. The re-
cent expressions of opinion from
the papers and his outraged con
stituency was alluded to with a
view to adopting the best means OF
courteracting it. He said it would

A very curious libel suit has just
been decided in Missouri court.
In the town Of Marshall, No., were
three boys named Potter, Finley
and Beggs, and about year since
they were swimming in Blackwater
creek, near tho town, and young
Potter was drowned. There were
no witnesses OF the occurrence ex-
cspt his two companions. His
father at once accused them OF
drowning his son, and although be
had no way Of proving this belief,
he stoutly ms. sted that the boys
were guilty. Shor ~ after the
funeral ne obtained from St.
Louis marble dea er q gravestone
bearing the inscription:
".xOck OF ges. cleft for me.
Let Me hide MY self in Thee"
Drowned by Pnilander fihley and
Marx Bvggs."
Finley and Beggs naturally were
considerably offended at this, and
and brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages. The jury, however. thought
this too much, and gave q verdict
Of $SUO in tn. ir favor.

Ceal Mine on Fire.

LINCOLN, Call, July 26.-The
large, new bunkers and hosting
works of the Clipper coal mine at
this place was discovered to be on
fire this morning about 5 o'clock.
The men working in the mine were
Immediately notified to come out,
and all easily made their escape. In
abs meantime, the fire had got
under such Roadway that the whole
new works were doomed to destruc.
ton. There were four loaded cars
standing alongside the bunkers.
The section men got to the works
in time to save three Of the cars,
but owing to the failing timbers
one could not be got out and was
burned. The loss will be heavy to
the owners, who had just got every
thing in good shape to make the
mine pay. Mr.. Lands, the prin-
cipal owner and manager, has the
sympathy Of the entire community.
All openings to the mine are being
closed up, and it Is not yet known
how far down the main shaft the
fire has gone, but it is thought and
hoped that the mine may be saved.

A new technic .lity has been raised
that may do away entirely with
legal hanging for murder in this
State. In the cases OF the two
murderers, Hurtado and Raten,
tried in Sacramento, the jury in
esch case brought in verdict of
guilty, but did not fix the penalty.
Now, the murderer's counsel claim
that the verdict is illegal, and both
cases will again go to the Supreme
Court. So far as doing away with
protection to law abiding people
the lawyers and juries may nov be
regarded as among the dangerous
