NAPLES, July 81 The ], allan De oers this
morning estimate that the number of per.
sons killed by the earthquake on tie island
of Ischia Saturday night was 5000 and that
the Number Of wounded was 200. The
'latest estimates, however, to-ilie'it place
the number of those who ished on the
island at 1000.
OF the foreigners staying at Uasamicciols
only those were saved who were at the
theatre ON Saturday night. Survi, ors state
that they were obliged to pass Saturday
night In absolute darkness, without daring
to move, even to assist those who called for
help beneath the ruins. There Is now little
hope that the latter are still alive.
Three soldiers searching for victims were
fatally injured to-day. Subscriptions have
been opened th oughout Italy for the relief
of the distressed. But five houses remain
standing at Casamicciola Cries for help
can be heard coming from the ruins, and
sappers are hard at work cndeaVoring to
rescue the persons who are still alive. Many
women and children are among the victims
Of the earthquake. Fifty wooden huts win
be bufit Immediately for the accommoda-
tion of the survivors. The municipal au-
thorities of Naples are sending relief to the
island, and are doing all in their power to
alleviate the distress of the people.
AID FROM NAPLES.
Most OF the corpsee which have been re-
covered are SO discolored by dirt that even
after they have been washed the features OF
the victims are unreeognizabe All the
members of the police force at Casamicciola
were killed. A boat has arrived containing
the bodies of twentY-four infants. A few
persons were taken from the ruins alive last
evening. Eight hundred more troops went
to the scene of the disaster last night.
The scenes here oeeesioned by the acci-
dent are heartrenderipg. The hospitals are
crowded with wounded survivors and the
dead houses are filed with bodies of the
victims. The bodies of several Neapolitan
ladies have been recovered from the ruins.
Boats from the island filed with dead bodies
are arriving here constantly.
Prof. Palmieri, director of the meteoro-
logical observatory on Mount Vesuvius.
states that the disaster was not due to an
earthquake, but to the substance of the
ground. a.i5- .F. s.......-.t ..It
Survivors say that 81 persons were en-
tombed in room In the Hotel Piccola
Sentinella. Count Zergardi, after three
hours exhausting labor, rescued Ii persons,
but failed to accomplish the principal object
of his efforts, the saving of his, sister. The
play at the theatre on Saturday night was a
burlesqe, which opened with scene repre-
senting an earthquake. nt
The steneh from dead bodies of human
beiHgS and animals is almost u1bearable
Several men and women were rescued from
the ruins yesterday morning. Many more
might have been saved If larger force of
resources had been available earlier Many
persons who were heard groaning during
the night were dead before they could be
reached and carried to places Of safety.

THE INFoRNlER CAREY SHOT.
Killed While Leaving a steamer at Port
ELLEabath. Africa.


Elizabeth, Africa.
LONDON, July 30.-It wat announced in
Parliament this evening that James Carey,
the PhRnix Park ihformer, had been shot at
Port Elizabeth, Africa, yesterday. The ru-
mors that he has been hiding In Montreal
are thus disposed Of The report of the
shooting of Carey caused intense excitement
in the west end of London and in the House
of Coma ems. E4s Ee4
According to the news received here Carey
was shot by man named O'Donnell, while
landing from a steamer at Port Elizabeth.
Carey sailed on Messrs. Donald, Currie 81
Co.'s mail steamship Kin1auns Castle, which
left Dartmouth on the 9th instant for Cape
Town. O'Donnell took passage on the same
steamship. At Cape Town she transferred
her passengers who were destined to Port
Elizabeth, Natal, and other coasts ports to
the steamship Melrcse. 0'Donnell followed
Carey upon the Melrose and as he was leav-
ing the vessel shot him. 0'Donnell is In
custody. The government had taken
special and expensive measures to protect
Carey.
The Daily Telegraph says that the govern
ment have little doubt that Carey was fol-
lowed from Dublin. They believe that the
Fenians had taken most elaborate measures
to prevent his escape. According to the
latest accounts the murder occurred at sea.
shortly after he was shot, O'Donnell sur
rendered himself quietly He was placed
In irons and was handed over to the police
when the Melrose arrived in Port Elizabeth.
Carey was travelling under the name of
Power. His family wee with him. He en-
barked at Dartmouth. From Madeira he
wrote letter to the authorities, in which
he described the voyage and said he had
shared in conversation In which the Invin-
cibles and "the miscreant Carey" were espe-
cially denounced. He said he intended to
forget that ireland ever existed.
DUBLIN, July 30.-The news OF James
Carey's death caused many exhibitions of
delight on the streets here.
A large crowd gathered tonight In front
of james Carey's late residence, cheering
loudly because the informer was killed.
rhe Dublin authorities believe that O'Don-
lell is man who was implicated three
years ago in the attempt to blow up the
Mansion House in London, and who es-
capped, witt Coleman, TO New York. The
government selected Africa as the safest
place for Carey. 1t is doubtful If he knew
Ills destination before sailing 1t was not
evealed to the police who took him from
Dublin to London.
NEW YORK, July 30.-The feeling in Irish
circles in this city aroused by the report of
he shooting of Carey, the informer, is one
of profound hope that it is true. story
sent out this morning of the supposed arrival
uf Carey in Montreal causes many to doubt
| the story of the sho lttng, but 1t gains favor,
as 1t is argued that Carey would be likely
/ to seek safety In some distant country like
| Africa rather than Canada. Every Irishman
| spoken to express the opinion that Carey
richly deserved death and that if he is not
yet killed it is only question of time when
| he will be.

AFTER g THE AGED STRANGER" BY BRET HARTE.
The editor sat with his head in his hands
And his elbows at rest on his knees;
He was tired of the ever-increasing demands
On his time and he painted for ease.
The clamOr Tor copy was ScOrned with Sneer
And he sighed in the lowest of tones:
Won't somebody come with q dollar to cheer
The heart of Emanuel Jones!"
Just then the stair-waya footstep was heard,
And rap-a-tap loud at the door,
And the Pickering hope that had long been de-
ferred
Blazed up like beacon once more;
And there entered a man with cynical smile
l hat was frlnged with stubble of red,
Who remarked, as he tilted sorry old tile
10 the back Of an average head:
" have come here to pay Here the editor
cried:
YOU'RE as welcome as flowers in spring.
Sit down in this easy armchair by my side,
And excuse me while till [ bring

And dozen cigars of the best.

Help yourself most desirable guest
The visitor drank with a relish, and smoked
Till his face wore satisfied glow
And the editor, beanling with merriment, jol1ed
In a Joyous, spontaneous flow;
And then. when the stock of refreshments was
gone,
His guest took occasion to say,
In ACCENTS distorted somewhat by a yawn
My errand up here is to pay
But the generous scribe, with wave of the
hand,
Put stop to the speech of his guest,
And brought in a melon, the finest the land
Ever bore on its generous breast;
And the visitor, wearing singular grin.
Seized the heaviest half of the fruit
And the juice as it in stream from his
chin,
Washed the mud Of the pike from his boot
Then mopping his face on favorite sheet
Which the scribe had laid carefully by,
The visitor lazily rose to his feet
With the dreariest kind of a sigh
And he said, as the editor sought mis- address,
In his books to discover his due:

And to borrow a dollar of yout'
