THE EARTHQUAKES.


the Ischia Theater.
NAPLES, July 31.-The search of the ruins
for bodies of victims of the earthquake at
Ischia continued during the night. All
bodies recovered were buried Immediately to
prevent masmi. An eye witness describes
the scene at the theater at Casmiccola when
the earthquake occurred as awful. The cur
tain had Just risen, when tremendous
shock was felt, A fearful roar followed and
the ground rocked like the sea in a storm.
A great cry of terror arose from the audi
ence, who were thrown into heap and a
large number buried beneath the timbers of
the building, which fell on them Two more
shocks occurred, and all who could, rushed
outside the theater, and hundreds
clambered into trees in the vicinity
for safety. Most of the people, however,
escaped to the shore, where bonfres
were lighted as signals of distress.
Hundreds of half-naked men and women,
wild with terror and grief, ran to and fro
among the ruins with torches during the
night, searching for missing friends.
Among the persons who were on the Island
of Ischia on Saturday night, and who have
been missing since the earthquake occurred,
was Mr.. Sommer. an English or American
The only American known to have been
injured by the earthquake was a Miss Van
Allen, and she was only slightly hurt.
The burials of victims of the earthquake
continued throughout the day, Two hum
dred and eight bodies were buried at Casamic
ciola, ninety at Laeco and twenty-nne at
Forio. The latest estimate places the num-
Der OF deaths at between 1000 and 5000. As
it would be impossible to recover and bury
all the bodies, Genala, Minister of Public
Works, ordered that in view of the horrible
exhalations from the decomposing remains
uncovered corpses be left where they lie and
liquid lime be poured over the ruins made
by the earthquake. Casamicciola will thus be
converted into vast cemetery.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
Uneasiness at Boston Over the Heavy Fail
ures of Monday.

ureS OF MONDAY.
BosToN, July 31.-There was some uneasi-
ness this morning in anticipation OF other
failures which might follow yesterdays sus-
pensions, but none were announced except
that of Macomber & Greenwood, and the
feeling is that the worst is over. The men,
bers of the two largest firms affected by the
Shaw failure express the opinion that they
will come out without trouble 1t will be
some days and perhaps weeks before a de-
tailed statement of Shaw & Bros condition
can be prepared The property covers an
immense territory, and is in so many forms
that it must necessarily be long time be-
fore an account OF stock can be taken. From
the talk among leather men and Others it is
learned that in some quarters the failure did
not cause great surprise. The paper OF Shaw
& Bros. with single name, for some time
has been ranked rather below frst-class
by the largest banks, and the firm has
been obliged to pay about 8 per cent. for
funds. There is an immense amount of the

Wires Cut at New York and Chicago-The
Strikers Say 1t Was Not Their Work.
New YORK, July 31.-Officials of the West

twenty-five wires have been either cut or
connected with fine wire so as to be for the
moment useless between New York and
Newark on the Hackensack Meadows that
thirteen wires have been cut between New
York and Williams Bridge. twelve between
the latter place and Scarsdale, and that all
the wires on the Fort Wayne road near
Engewood, ILL.,, have also been cut.
Two more of the striking operators have
returned to work, and the men at St. John
who went out have all returned. The strik-
ers at Halifax applied to be re;nstated, but
found their places filled.
At the headquarters of the strikers to-day
it was denied that the wires had been cut by
striking linemen. If the wires have been
cut by them the Brotherhood would orde
them repaired free of cost to the company.

houses on Abbey street. tonight, and seized
bedding, furniture and other articles with
which to make bonfres in celebration of the
death of James Carey Efigies of Carey

Eight enormous bon-fres blazed around

national airs, followed by crowds of people
cheering as they marched. A slight col
