A NIGHT OF HORROR.
Experiences of Cincinnati Woman During
the Earthquake at CasamiccIola.


A private letter received from the immediate
relatives of Mrs. Charles s. Schmdlapp of this
city, gives some interesting particulars OF the
ladys experience during the late terrible earth
quake in the island of Ischia. The letter is
dated July 80, and was mailed from the city of
Naples
on Saturday evening about 9:20. L was sitting
in the center of room near "A table, upon which
stoOu a lamp' All AT once WItnout any previous
warning, the table began shaking and the lamp
fell. ran to the door and before reached 1t
the whole roof and ceiling fell on the very spot
where lately sat. lola was in the dining
room. She rushed toward me, screaming, and
fell to the ground" Mr.. Charles Schmid-
lapp was, at the time of the beginning
of the terrible disaster, lying on u bed
in an adjacent apartment His wife found
that it was impossible to open the door, and con-
tnues in her letter. 81 removed the fallen stones
and heavy pieces of plasters as best could. All
around me was the burning oil from the over
turned lamp. The door still resisted. 1t was
fastened at the top and was immovable. Charles
(Mr. Schmidlapp) found large piece of timber
that had fallen in his room. With this, exerting
all his strength, he succeeded in breaking ont
the lower panel of the door. Through this he
crawled in his night clothes. seized his coat
and pants ana we all rushed from the house. In
the yard lay two dead bodies, those of mother
and daughter. In the yard we passed the dread
full night. 1t was indeed night Of horror, and
one that shall never forget. The crying and
moaning around during those terrible hours were
heart-rending"
Mrs. schmidlapp, with other details, further
states that three towns were destroyed, Cassa-
micci0la among them, and that about 1000 bod
les had been found when the letter was written.
or ffty-three people in hotel only seven
were saved, and in the hospital nearly all were
killed, and AT the time of the earthquake the
town of Cassamicciola was thronged with stran-
gers The lady states, also, that they arrived at
Naples without their trunks. The house in
which they were stopping was very sOlidly
built and was the only one in the town in which
the sidewalks were not tumbed. The bed upon
which Mr.. Schmidlapp was resting was found to
be filed with heavy stones, and had the earth
quake occurred one hour later, when all would
have been in bed, escape with life would have
Vesuvius has not been very active lately. and to
this fact is attributed the late earthquake by the
inhabitants. Mrs. Schmidlapp says that they
are recovering from the terrible shock, but all
are extremely nervous. Many soldiers are now

THE custom of using the American flag for
common that the question is attracting pub
lie attention. The practice is not commend
able. 1t puts the national emblem to use
ises that the matter falls little short of ridi-
cule, although not intended to be so. The
stars and stripes have a single, exclusive and
important significance. They represent the
genius, power and majesty of the nation, and
should never be degraded to any lower pur-
pose.

of genuine thrift and progress. The country
has grown into commercial giant since the
war. Our trade is extending all over the
world, and our vast territory is being settled
up by people from all parts of the civilized
world, preferrng free America to any other
country on the globe 1t is grand thing to
be an equal partner in this republic, and
glorious thing to be one of the preservers.
The Grand Army men have right to be
proud of the part they played in making
American history. Never was a cause more
patriotic and never victory more gloriously
achieved. indianapolis says hail and fare
well to one and all. But as the years roll
away a cordial invitation will always be ex-
tended by Indiana's capital city to her heroic
citizen soldiery. They are always welcome.

THE West comes modestly but confidently for
ward with the following contribution to polite
literature and current fiction. According to the
Omaha Bee, queer family lives near that city.
The father and mother have dwelt in one house
for the past ten years. and during all that time
neither they nor their children have ever come
out of the house except at night They deal with
only one tradesman, who furnishes them with
the necessaries of life at night, througha win
dow, and his bills are always promptly paid,
without question. A coffin is kept In the house
for every member of the family AS the children
grow and the cotfins become too small, larger
ones are procured. When a new member is
added to the family coffin is at once ordered.
The physician who has been called to attend this
singular household says that he has never yet
seen the face of any member of it. The moral
of this fable is not apparent but it is beautiful
evidence of the handiwork of Western journals
when they set about to build a really artistic
narration.

SOLDIER boys who have any Confederate

way stock. That is, if they don't care to see
it again. For good permanent investment
there is nothing like stock in the Peoples

it away for fear of cheating the recipient,
and you would be afraid to throw it away
lest your credit should be ruined by some
body discovering that you had been fool
enough to invest in it.

the same wages now that they did and yet
reducing by large per cent. the market
price of their products. The protective
tariff was established for a dual purpose.
First, to produce a revenue demanded by the
exigencies of the war and for the scarcely
less imperative purpose of building up
American industries. Behind this bulwark
it was the aim of government to encourage
manufacturing so that we might in a meas
ure free ourselves from the dangers of hay
ing to depend upon unfriendly foreign pow
ers, and for the further purpose of giving
employment to American labor. There can
be no possible doubt that the cost of our
civil war would have been doubled had not
this measure been taken, and had we placed
ourselves wholly at the mercy of foreign
producers. But to build up these newin-
dustries-these wooden, and cotton, and iron
and steel mills-was a gigantic undertaking.
Each enterprise on anything like an adequate
scale required the immediate investment of
hundreds of thousands of dollars, backed up
by other thousands to carry the experiment
to a successful issue. Everything had to be
done at fearful expense. The plant of each
mill consumed very large amounts
of capital, and frequently had to be removed
or rebuilt as they were found defective or
inefficient. II is said that the first steel rail
made in Chicago cost the mill owners not
lars.
cost of the plants necessary to begin work,
there was the running expense of reducing
the manufacture of wares to such exact
itude that it would be most economical.
In addition TO this also, was the expense
of putting the product of the mills on the
market, and to find a market for it in face
of prejudice in favor of long-used foreign
product All these reasons compelled a
high-selling price at first With longer ex-
perience, prejudice overcome, and
steady market secured, it was possible to
sell for less, although the wages paid may
not have been materially reduced. I'M

resulting from the advantages offered by
the tariff, compelled reduction of the sell
ing price. The same thing that fosters mo-
nopolies in this case encourages competi-
ton, and the inevitable result of the latter
is to bring prices down to an equable basis
with other products in other lines. 1t
seems plain enough, therefore, that
American manufacturers may have
steadily maintained wages and at the,
same time very largely reduced
the prices of their wares. This is not only
theoretically correct, but is also practically
true, and easily demonstrable from statistics.
Judge Foraker's arguments may be sophisms
to Democratic politicians, but they are &C.
ceptable alike to American workmen and
American manufacturers. 1t cannot be
truthfully denied that prices, even under
protection, have greatly declined during the
past ten years, and that we buy all articles
protected by a tariff cheaper now than we
could before the tariff was put on.

A Girls Death from Hydrophobia.


Yesterday morning Mary, an eleven-year-old
daughter of John Ortlip, residing in West Brad
ford township, Chester county, died of hydro
phobia after enduring agonies of n distressing
character for over twenty-four hours. The
child was bitten by a strange dog some five years
ago, but at the time nothing serious feared,
though the dog was discovered to be mad lit
tie while afterward and was killed. On Satur-
day morning last the child, while at breakfast,
was suddenly taken with spasmS while endeaV-
orDg to drink coffee, and though the best of
medical skill was brought to bear upon the case
she continued to suffer until Sunday morning,
when death came to her relief. The bite was
over the right eye and was very triding one.

Thereupon, according TO their cry-baby custom,
