ROME, June 24.--A terrible accident,
caused by land-slip, occurred to-day at
Monte Sanso, on the line of the Bologna IL
Florence railway A large area of land on
the mountain side slid down on the houses
below completely destroying them.
Thus far 30 people who were killed or
are injured have been taken from the
wreck. The railway is covered with earth
and rock to a great depth, and all traffic is
consequently suspended.
This line is peculiarly liable to Interrupt
tons from land slips. In 1851 the village
of Vigo, one of the stations on the road,
was completely destroyed by earth sliding

New YORK, June 23.-New York rose up
early to-day to greet the expected nomlna-
ton of her favorite citizen at Chicago. The
interest manifested in the progress OF the
proceedings was shown by the crowds that
hung round the public bulletins all the
afternoon and evening, eagerly waiting for
a definite result. There was much re1olc-
ing, but the excitement usual about con-
vention returns was discounted by the
foregone character OF the news.
TAMMANY PUTS UP THE FLAG.
It is ominous of the future of the can
vass that the first Cleveland transparency
was put up this morning by the Fourth
Assembly District Tammany Association,
at Clinton street and East Broadway. The
flag was hnisted early on Tammany Hall
itself. There has been erected in front of
the ancient wigwam, on Fourteenth street,
framework OF scantling covering almost
the entire front of the big building, on
which it is proposed TO stretch the biggest
campaign banner the organization ever
put out. Everything was i'll readiness to
put out the banner as soon as the news of
the nominations at Chicago should be re-
ceived. Before to-morrows sun goes down,
the lair OF the tiger will be decorated with
the campaign insignia, and the warriors
will be hard ut work preparing to welcome
the returning braves and opening the
battle for Cleveland and tariff reform.
TAMMANY COMMENTS.
Tammany will be all right in spite of
all the Hill froth that was blown off ut the
convention. There are not many OF the
big chiefs left in the city, but such OF
them as are round are earnest in their
declarations of loyalty.
Chamberlain Thomas c. T. Grain,
hearty Tammany man, said .'The nomi-
nation is q good one, and Tammany will
support him Loyalty. lie will carry the
state and country"
Superintendent of Markets John A.
Sullivan said mr.. Cleveland is wonder
full man. His hold upon the people is re-
markable. Of course am sure he will be
reelected.
Judge Van Wyck said: Il was for Sena-
tor Hill, but ], like loyal Democrat, fall
into line and will support and work for
Mr.. Cleveland. lie was the choice of the
Democrats of the country. Mr. Cleve-
lands election depends to great extent
on the loyalty Of Tammany. and believe
Tammany will work for his election as it
never did before"
May or's Marshal Daniel Englehard said.
81 preferred Hill, but am Of course for
Cleveland. lie is certain to be elected
1ammany will cast solid vote for him in
this city,
Comptroller Myers was enthusiastic over
the nomination. He said: 1T is splendid
nomination and the one / wished for
most. The platform is safe and sound
and | believe that Mr.. Cleveland will
sweep the country, carrying this state by
$1,000 plurality"
Dcputy-comptroller Richard A Storrs
said II am not much Of politician, but
| feel gread deal of satisfaction at the
nomination."

been in the service of the city for many
years, SAID; Cleveland will win sure. He
