Northern Italy Shaken by an Earth
quake-SeveraI Lives Lost.

LONDON, June THE thoroughfares OF
London were strangely silent today, owing
to the strike Of omnibus drivers which be-
gan last night. There is plentiful supply
of cabs, however. This morning saw all the
"bus yards" strongly guarded by police
About 20 vehicles of the Road Car Company
and a few Of the General Omnibus Company
ventured out with "black leg" drivers.
Many of these drivers, after experiencing
the taunts and jeers of the strikers, aban-
doned the attempt after the first journey.
At 3 inthe afternoon, the Road Car Compa-
ny called in all its cars, leaving the traffic to
occasional 'pirates" who were cheered by
the strikers and did good business at en-
HANGED fares. The railways, river boats and
cabs reaped the benefit of the strike. The
strikers were generally orderly.

lice to arrest him on the top Of a road car

them quietly to the station where he was
charged with intimidation. Some of tho
strikers cut the traces of two buses at the
Marble Arch and overturned them after in
yiting the passengers to descend. Three of
the strikers concerned were arrested. The
men have abandoned their demand for in
creased wages for the present. The Road

a New York Opinion.
The New York Sun says editorially

AhO ANOW ulh Cuu says cultUIIdll1
The Episcopal Church in Maine is said to
have caught the ecclesiastical measles" that
is epidemic in New York. but it is scarcely
credible that Rev. DR.. Asa Dalton of Pc: It.
land is to be charged with heresy for assist
ing at the religious service of non-episcopal
church and for suggesting in a sermon the
possible redemption Of the heather who had
never heard of Christianity. Even in these
days of denunciation and persecution such
charges by themselves would not support a
conviction OF heresy in the Episcopal Church,
but that they should be seriously formulated
is significant of the feverish passion of the
High Church faction at the moment.
The charges against DR.. Dalton are not un-
like those secretly insinuated against DR..
Brooks, whose election was non-concurred in
by the standing committee of the diocese Of
Maine; but in neither case do the opinions
quoted involve fundamental matters of faith
or doctrine; they are little more than the
spontaneous optimistic promptings of every
gentle and sympathetic heart, and though
they might cause the rejection of Bishop
elect, they would not, therefore, justify the
deposition of priest of the churcn.

BITTEN BY A CAT.
Hydrophobia and Death Followed
Months Afterward.

New YORK, June 6.-Lawyer Richard S.
BartiIe, the Ashbury Park lawyer who has
been suffering frcm hydrophobia as the re-
suit of a cat bite some months ago, died to-
day. Easily yesterday morning second con-
sultation was held by Drs. 81. S. Kinmouth,
Samuel Johdson, George Webber and David
w. Bartine. 1t was decided that every
means known in the profession had been
employed, and all that remained was to wait
patiently for the results. During the morn
ing the patient suffered intense agony from
the spasms, which convulsed his body at in
tervals. When seized by these attacks,
which usually lasted from half to three
quarters of an hour, 1t took the united
strength of the strongest men from the life
saving station to hold the man in his bed,
When not suffering from these spasms Mr.
Bartine was rational and held lengthy con-
versations with the members of his family
and friends, who were constantly at his bed

NEW ENGLAND SAIvEREO.
But warm Weather Helped the Crops
Elsewhere.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The weather crop
bulletin, issued by the signal office, says:
The week has been warm in all districts
east of the Mississippi river, except in the
lake region and New England. There has
been a continued deficiency of rainfall in the
Gulf states during the week, amounting to
one inch or more at all stations.
Abundant rains have fallen in all other lis
tricts east of the Rocky Mountains, though
there has been slight deficiency in the mid
die Mississippi valley, in New England and
on the Atlantic coast.
COpious rains in the wheat regions of the
Northwest have greatly benefited crops dur
ing the past week; slight lack of sunshine
is reported, but prospects are generally better
than at a corresponding date last year.
In the Missouri valley the partial drought
has been entirely relieved by abundant rains.
Corn is still quite backward, and that which
was injured by cut-worms has been replanted.
In the upper lake region heavy rains have
materially improved craps, though little
more would be beneficial in the interior of
Wisconsin.
Slight damage by hail is reported in south
ern counties of Wisconsin. and by cut-worms
in Michigan.
