The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-11-15

Capt. U. B. Scott. president of the Co
lumbia River & Puget Sound Navigation
Company, came over from Portland yes
terday. Capt. Scott says he is now hav-
ing the machinery Quilt for a stern-wheel
boat for the Sound which will beat any
thing in her class in the Pacific North
west. She is to be 80 feet long, twenty
three feet beam and from three to three
and one-half feet draft. Her house will be
low on the principle of the Greyhound's,
so as to catch as little wind as possible.
Her machinery will be the very best that
can be built, and the hull will be very
strong and substantial. She will be nicely
finished up and we'll furnished, being ar
ranged principally for passenger traffic.
Capt. Scott will not say yet on what route
he contemplates putting her, but promises
she will eclipse anything in the line of a
stern-wheel boat on the Sound, both in
point of speed and elegance of furnishings.

TO buy Jim Halls half interest in the Portland
& Puget sound railway, between Portland and
the Sound. il being the Unions purpose if sue

vent IL from degenerafing into q local road be-
tween Portland and Omaha. He thinks Presi-
dent Clark will push construction work and
start through trains between Puget sound and

are under consideration, one via Tenilo and
Quilceae TO Port Tow nsead, using the Oregon
improvement Compsny's partly built line. the
other route over the line originally chosen d.

the latter route will be selected, and a branch
built and the line completed later to Port
Townsend The lawyer stands close to John

AN EARTHQUAKE AT ROME.
People Spend the Night Out of Doors.
The Pope Aroused.

People spend the Night Out of Doors.
The Pope Aroused.
ROME, Jan. 23.-Several severe shocks Of
earthquake were felt here last night, which
caused panic in the more crowded quar-
ters Of the city. The inhabitants of houses
in these places thought their wellings about
20 fail, ard they rushed into the streets,
many OF them en- dishdbflle, not waiting TO
save any OF their personal effects. So thor
oughly frightened were they and so much
did they fear a repetition OF the shocks that
nothing could induce them to return TO their
dwellings, and they remained on the streets
all night, seeking for better secu-
rity open places, where they would
be out Of the reach OF any falling buildings.
The theater shook with the violence of the
shocks and persons present at performances
were greatly frightened. The panic soon
subsided, however. Most of the clocks in
the city stopped at ll:27. The ground shook
so violently that street lamps were extin-
guished aud 1t Is feared that damage may
perhaps have been done TO the underground
pipes. The pope was aroused by the
earth tremors. He Immediately sent TO the
vatican observatory to inquire if they were
likely TO prove serious. His holiness was
assured that there was no danger or any
prospect OF any and he thereupon retired
for the night
EFFECTS IN THE PROVINCES.
The effects OF the earthquake we're quite
serious in tho province OF Rome, which,
dispatches being received show, was very
generally affected. At GeuZano, n town OF
about 5000 inhabitants, eighteen miles
southwest from Rome, several houses col
lapsed. but no one was injured.
AT Civita Lnvigna, eighteen miles south
east Of Rome. where there are number OF
Roman antiquities, an historical tower fell
Many houses were damaged at Velletri,
tTenty-one miles southeast OF Rome. No
loss OF life has been reported thus far.
