A great number of young men who have

The fact that they have energy enough to

SHAKEN TO PIECES.
Destruction of an Italian Town by
an Earthquake.
Three Thousand Persons Killed and Eight
Hundred Injured.

LONDON, July 29.-The town Of Casamic-
cola on the island Of Ischia near
Naples was almost entirely destroyed
by an earthquake last night. The neigh
boring towns of Forio and Lacceameo we're
greatly damaged. One hundred persons more
or less severely injured have arrived at Naples
by steamers The number OF people killed is
not known.
ROME, July 20--The minister of public
works has gone to Cassamicciola to organize
measures OF relief. The shocks began at half
past nine o'clock last night. AT that hour the
majority Of the people of the upper classes
were at the theatre Nearly all Of the houses
in the town collapsed. 1t is estimated that
one thousand persons were killed and eight
hundred injured. A number of steamers have
been brought into the service to carry the in
jured to Naples. The impression produced ty
the disaster indescribable.
MALES, July 29.-- Steamers loaded with the
injured people are constantly arriving here
from the scene OF the calamity. The hospitals
are already filed with sufferers.
Casamicciola is situated at the foot of
Mount Epomeo about twelve miles southwest
OF Puzznola. 1t contains about 1000 inhab-
itants. It has thermal springs aud baths.
LONDON, Jsly 2o.It Is impossible as yet t
give the number OF dead at Casamcciola. The
latest accounts says the number is estimated
at 5000. Hotel Piecola Sentinella sunk in the
earth and buried many of its inmates. Some
of the inhabitants of the town escaped to the
sea at the first shock and made their way to
Naples with the news Of the calamity. The
centre OF ares of the shock was the same as
that two years ago, but the radius was wider.
The shock was felt at sea and according TO
some accounts ever at Naples.

Women and Their interests,
Women's Apparel.

Says a writer in the New York Post: A
secrets concerning women's apparel, as 1t is
to be in the near future, which are notewor-
thy. We are told that ga complete revolu-
tion in the fashions of ladies' dress and fig
ures is about to take place, and many quite
startling innovations will proably be observed
at the watering places this summer, although
the new styles are not likely to be established
before next winter. Bones, angles and
length without breadth will be out Round
ness, curves and moderate amplitude are
coming in. Anglicism in costume, includ-
ing mannishness of appearance aud attire,
are decidedly on the wane, and flowing skirts,
panniers and graceful drapcries, In which
the soul of the French dressmaker doth de-
light, are increasing In favor every day.
Even return TO the Grecian bend of few
years back is threatened, but sound sense
and good taste will probably interfere with
that" Gratefully recognizing the assump-
tion that sound sense and good taste are
likely to rule in fixing the fashions for wom-
EMS attire "next winter" it may be said, by
the way of emphasizing the doubt as to the
revival of the Grecian bend, that the fair
faced young princess whose spinal peculari-
ties were modified and popularized by the
dress and attitudes which for season of
universal craze took that name and form, is
either dead or retired, and it may be doubt
ed that successor similarly afflicted and
conditioned will come to the surface during
the present or at any future season within
the range of lifetime. Women cruelty sub
jected to "bones" and providentially pos
sessed of ''anges" are eXhorted to prepare
for the changes which are threatened at any
time before snow flies. Seriously, If there
are to be striking and radical changes in

Women in the Civil Service.

The rumor that efforts are being made to
prevent the appointment of women to low
grade clerkships under the civil-service law
revives the question what the true object of
civil-service examinations is. II is not only
to ascertain the mental capacity and acquire
ments of applicants for places, but also to
exclude the element of personal or politicaI
favoritism from the exercise Of the appoint
ing power. Now, the accomplishment OF
the latter object would be of the highest i'm
portance, even If the examinations were less
reliable as tests of the fitness OF candidates
for public employment than they are. 1t is
of especial importance with reference to the
appointment of women. of whom great
many hundreds are employed in the various
departments at Washington. They are
mostly poor. Their salaries are all they
have to live upon. Under the spoils system,
as it always has been and always will be as
long as it is permitted to exist, almost every
one of those women owes her position-that
Is, her daily bread-to some one powerful
man in public life. And every one of them
knows that if that one man withdraws his
favor from her, she will lose her place and
her living, and, as is the case in many in
stances, be cast helpless upon the world
Now and then rumors of social scandals
having direct connection with re lations
thus established fit about the city of Wash
ington, and now and then they get into the
papers. We will not inquire whether such
rumors tell the whole story. At any rate,
considering the nature of the case, it is as
tonishing that there should be SO few of
them. The scarcity of these scandals is the
most magnificent testimonial to the charac-
ter of the women employed in the public Of
fees tina. can be imagined. But surely a
system which puts the living of every wo-
man in the civil service at the mercy of
some one powerful man is an abominat,on.
1t is disgrace to the American republic
Every American woman who respects the
character of her sex must necessarily be-
come civil service reformer as soon as she
understands the case.-The Nation.

Eraaks of l lightning.

COTTAGE CITY, Martha's Vineyard, July 80.
A violent thunder storm prevailed on theVine-
yard all night. The livery stable of Isaac Nor

A Texas Belle.

Miss Birdie McHennepin is one of the
bellies of Austin. Her intellect, however,
does not tower into the sublime heights
reached by Susan B. Anthony, but, 10 use
the cold language of truthfulness, she is
very much the same kind of a young lady as
Gus de Smith is a young man. Not long
since he proposed ma,rimony. He proposed
in good faith, in solemn, impressive man
ner, upon which Miss Birdie inaugurated a
giggle, until Gus was very much disguised,
and, arising from his knees, his anger found
vent in words. He was .mad, too-too mad
almost to speak. "Miss Hennepin," he f.
nally calculated, "with me this is no laugh
ing matter. Why should you see anything
ridiculous about it?' "You must excuse
me, Mr.. de Smith-really you must, for am
not laughing at you; really, now, l am not.
/ am laughing at ma. Mas so funny, you
know Really, she is just too funny for any
use. Yes, / was laughing at ma" "At
your map "Yes, you see ma she told me
only this morning: Birdie, you are so green
that some donkey will take you yet,' and
here you come But he was gone He
was in the past tense. 1t was he who
banged the door so violently. 81 WONDER"

said. But, then, ma always was too awful
funny for any kind of use."-lTexas Sift-

The wife of the editor of the Sidney Her
aid, lady of great beauty, personifed ''The
Press" at the Savage Club ball in London
recently. The dress is made of white satin
on which actual copies of her husbands pap
er have been printed in colored inks.
At public meeting in London, ,over which
Lady Brassey presided, Miss Simcsx asked :
''What respectable, responsible lady would
offer chair-woman sixpence a day and no
meals? Yet ladies buy goods of employers
who pay women at that rate for their hard
work."
A New York bride started on her journey,
few days since, in costume of electric
blue satin and cashmere. after being mar

cream satin brocade, with skirt of Ottoman
silk, profusely trimmed with Brussels lace.
The orange blossom wreath passed from the
head round the throat and finished with a

women's attire, amounting to ''revolu.
tion," 1t is secret confined TO limited
circle. It Is misleading to say that "round-
ness, curves and moderate amplitude are
coming in,'' for they came long ago, and are
with us yet They came by gradual APP
proaches soon after the collapse Of the ugly
hoopskirts, until, by the verdict of all men
who care to give the matter thought, and
OF all women of good taste, the present
modes Of dress are held to be so becoming
and beautiful in the broadest and best sense
in which those terms may be applied to wo-
mems apparel, and noiwide departures will
be encouraged and anything like "revolu-
tion" is quite improbable. American wo-
men are cutting loose from the thraldom OF
foreign man-milliers and the edicts and will
fulness of like domestic autocrats, and are
learning to choose and decide for them
selves. They are satisfied and pleased with
prevalent modes, which, within the range of
fashion, offer so wide field for choice; and
hence are disposed to let well enough alone.
Certain English girls, whose indifference to
public opinion and contempt OF the rules of
good breeding and modest behavior have
been as offensive as their 'mannshness of
appearance and ATTIRE" are not true types
of English modes and manners, and sporad-
ic specimens of the same sort in our own
country are very properly to be classed in
the same category.

Protests from Commercial ASSOCIATIONS.

or in regard to the existing strike OF the
telegraph operators, at which were represented
the Mexican Exchange. Clearing House Asso-
citation, Stock and Cotton Exchanges, and
Chamber of Commerce, the following was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That In view of the imperfect tel

bodies of New Orleans, urge the indispensable
ity OF such Immediate action action on tne
part of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany as will tend to restore the commerce OF

continuance OF heavy losses and serious incon-
venience now being sustained by our whole
commercial community.
PHILADELPHIA, July 28.--At meeting Of
the Commercial Exchange, held at noon, In
reference TO the telegraph strike resolutions
were adopted declaring that the present diff
Guilty between the telegraph companies could
and should be adjusted, and that the action OF
Dotn parties IN tue controversy was equaiiy
reprehensible. A resolution was also adopted
aoking Congress to take such action as will
prevent similar troubles in future.

jail breaking at Mac hias.

Herbert Ackley, a graduate of the State re-
form school, who also recently completed a
three years course in the State prison, and
was awaiting trial at the October term of the
supreme court in Washington county on a
charge of burglary, succeeded in picking the
lock of the door leading to the coal-room of the
jai at Machias, from which he made his
escape through the window, after prying off a
halt-sawed bar of the iron grating.
William Stanhope and "Tossy" Bowers, two
other prisoners, utilized the breach made by
Ackley, and made their exit. The former
sauntered leisurely down town, visited several
stores, where he made purchases of tobacco
and other essentials of personal comfort in his
prison quarters. and then deliberately returned
TO the jail, where he presented himself for re-
incarceration 10 Jsiler Vose, who, in astopish-
ment, learned for the first time of the escapade.
Bowers was subsequently, found in an out
building connected with the Jail yard, where
he was vigorously exercising his relaxed
muscles and making himself useful by saving
wood. He expressed himself grateful for the
brief vacation, and allowed himself to be lock-
ed up without opposition
Investigation has developed the fact that
Ackley has fed to the woods in the outskirts of
the town, taking with him the piece of iron
bar which he wreDched from the window
casing and which will serve as a formidable
weapon OF defence. The officers and posse
comitst1s are securing the surrounding coun-
try.
