A VAST CEMETERY.


|
Casamicciola is one OF the two great
earthquake zones, the other district being
the western portion Of South America. In
no century since the earliest recorded his
tory has Southern Italy and Sicily escap-
ed suffering from frequent and severe
earthquakes. In Sicily, in 1893, 60,000
people perished in one earthquake.
during the reign oil Tiberius, is
A. D., 10000 people lost their lives in one
day in consequence OF an earthquake. The
earthquake attended with the most serious
results sn the destruction Of human
life was that oil 526, when 250 600
human beings. perished, according
to Gibbons figures. Antioch, whicn
had previously been destroyed at least
twice, end several other Syrian cities were
mpletely destroyed, and the shock ex-
ended into Italy, where great damage to
life and property resulted. In 63 Hercula-
neum aud Pompeii we're destroyed by an
earthquake, this being IL years before the
burial OF these cities by the eruption ofVc.
suyius. The city Of Judea was destroyed
in 81 B, O., when 10000 people lost their
lives.
THE MOST FAMOUS EARTHQUAKE.
The most famous earthquake OF history
was that at Lisbon, November l, 1855,
when $4,000 people were buried alive and
80 900 more were killed. Calabria, Messini,
and number Of smaller villages were de-
stroyed February 8, 1883, and some 100000
lives were lost In 1925 Muria, Spain, was
destroyed; $500 houses being thrown down
and a couple Of thousand people being
killed. Lima and It's harbor, Callao, in
Peru were destroyed in 1886, and sgain in
l74B, and thousands persisted. Areqnipa,
Peru, was wiped out Of existence in 1858,
$4,000 people being left homeless, and sew
eral thousands losing their lives. In the
same year the cities Of 1barra and 0ttavalla
were destroyed, and not one Of their 10000
inhabitants escaped, or conld ever be
found alterward. Catocachy was also
obliterated from the face Of the earth, and
a 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
1882, continued at intervals for four
years. It took but three minutes
lor an earthquake to mako the entire city
OF Port Royal, Jamaica, complete wreck
in 1902, and even less time for the de-
struction Of San Salvador, in the West
Indiep, March IL, 1873. The city Of Men.
doza, in the Argentine Republic, was de-
stroyed and l2, 900 people killed by q shock
Of but moments duration in March, 1861.

AT wmIrs SULPHUR.


The Presidential Party En- Route for the
Sonihern Exposition nj LouisyiIle.
GRRENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
VA, July 3l.-The Presidential party ar
rived here safely at 1880 p. NJ. An unex-
pected addition was made at Washington
blythe arrival Of President Baldwin Of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, in his
special car. He had with him Senator
Bayard, OF Delaware, aud ex-President
Green, OF the Louisville and Nashville.
Their. car was coupled on to the
two special cars OF the President, and they
will make the trip 10 Louisville and see the
opening OF the Southern Exposition. The
President passed restless night, but
looked fresh enough this morning. He
never rises till IL o'clock, and when he
camo into Colonel Bennett Young's' car
this morning, he had to eat alone, US the
other members Of the Cabinet had eaten
hours before. The whole party are in rap.
lures over this car, which has been ele-
gantly decorated with flowers and other
ornaments.
CIowds assembled at all the way sta
tons, and as the President was in his
coach asleep, they seemed at loss to
know whom to shout for.
The idea that the President and Cabinet
excursions are grand drinking expeditions,
is not true OF this one. 1t would be hard
to find more temperate one. General
Gresham is a total abstainer, and drinks
even Apollinaris water with suspicion; and
Secretary Folger's strongest beverage is
coffee.
The President drinks wine, hut with
great moderation. Secretary Lincoln don't
oblsc to little Bourbon, but is as careful
with il as his great father. Colonel Evans
uses neither tobacco nor liquor. He can't
even drink tea or coffee with any comfort.
1t is in vain that tue committee try to show
their hospitality. A Kentuckian is at u
dead loss when his guest refuses the great
State beverage, and can't help but regard
him with curious kind Of wonder that
is almost akin to pity.
