The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1883-08-10

The town of Casamicciola, on the Is
land of Ischia, near Naples, was almost en-
tirely destroyed by an earthquake Saturday
night. The neighboring towns of Forio
and Lacceameno were greatly damaged
One hundred persons more or less seriously
injured have arrived at Naples by steam
ers. The Minister of Public Works has
gone to Casamicciola to organize measures
of relief. The shocks began at $3.50 O'Clock.
At that hour majority of the people Of the
all of the houses In the town collapsed. 1t
is estimated that 200 persons were killed
and 800 injured. A number of steamers
have been brought into service to carry the
injured to Naples. The impression pro-
duced by the disaster is indescribable.-
Many of the victims belong to good fami-
lies. A dispatch dated July 30, says: 1t Is
impossible as yet to give the number Of the
dead at Casamicciola. In the latest ac-
counts the number Is estimated at 5000
The Hotel PiccOla Sentinella sank 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 calam-
ity. The center of the shock was the same
as that OF two years ago. but the radius was
wider. The shock was felt at sea and, ac-
cording to some accounts, even at Naples.
A gentleman who was staying at the Hotel
PiccOla Sentinella, and who escaped with
his life relates that he only had time to Sc
cure some candles for use in the darkness
of the ruins before the collapse of the build
ing. A person who lived near the. now
ruined bathing establishment says he es-
capped from the place amid falling walls
and balconies, and terrified people shouting,
ITO the sea-" Later adviceS report the
loss Of life by the appalling disaster at four
thousand. The stencil from the unburied
corpses is said to be intolerable. The di-
rector of the observatory on Mount Vesuvi-
us claims that the calamity was not due to
an earthquake, but to the subsistence of the
ground. Troops have been sent to the
scene of the slaughter and the people of
Naples are affording all the aid in their
power
THE INvINCIBLEs' VENGEANCE.
James Carey, the notorious Dublin in
former, was shot dead while stepping from
the steamship Melrose, at Port Elizabeth,
South Africa. ODOnnell, the approver's
murderer, Is in custody. The government had
taken special pains to protect the refugees
life. O'Donnell took passage on a small
steamer, which left Dartmouth on the 9th
of July, for Cape Town, where she trans
ferred her passengers who were destined to
Port Elizabeth, Natal, and other coast
ports. to the steamship Melrose. 1t appears
that O'Donnell logged Carey from London.
Both sailed in the steamer KInfaun's Castle.
The Daily Telegraph says the government
have little doubt that Carey was followed
from Dublin. They believe that the Fen
ians had taken most elaborate measures to
prevent his escape: According to the latest
accounts, the murder occurred at sea. Carey.
was not killed outright, but died shortly
after he was shot. O'Donnell surrendered
himself quietly. He was placed in irons,
and handed over to the police when the Mel
rose arrived at Port Elizabeth. Carey was
travelling under the name of Power. His
family were with him. He embarked at
Dartmouth. From Madeira he. wrote a let
ter to the authorities, in which he described
the voyage and said he had shared in con-
versation In which the Invincibles and the
miscreant Carey were especially denounc-
ed. He said he intended to forget that Ire
land ever existed. Later cablegrams say
ODonnel, who killed Informer Carey in
presence Of his family, as tho steamer Mel
rose neared, Algoa bay, is reported to be an
american. He and his wife took
passage for Cape Town, but on learning
that Carey was OH board continued on the
journey. The prisoner Is strongly guarded,
and funds for his defense are being collect
ed
