UNDER A LANDSLIDE.
Thirty Persons Killed or Injured
in an Italian Village.

A terrible accident caussi by a landslin
occurred at Monte Sasso Italy, on the lie
of the Bologna and Florsncs Railway. This
railway runs through the Appennines and
is one of the most boldly constructed lines
In Italy.
A large area of land on the mountain side
slid on the houses below, completely bury
ing them. Some Of the people managed to
escape, but thirty persons, killed or injured,
were taken from beneath the debris.

and rock to a great depth, and all

tions from landslides. In 1851 the village Of
Vigo, one Of the stations on the road, was
completely destroyed by earth sliding down
from Mounte Vigese.
