Terrible Slaughter Caused by the Earth
quaises in Italy--Iinmense Damage to
Buildings.
ROME, Nov. 21.-The deaths caused
by the earthquake in Southern Italy and
Northern Italy are now known to num-
ber more than 400. In Procopio alone
200 were killed. Forty-eight bodies
have been recovered from the ruins of
the church, and several bodies are still
under the fallen walls.
The alarm caused by the earthquakes
is subsiding in all towns except Milazzo,
near Messina, where heavy shocks are
still felt. Many residents e. the town
are building huts in the fields.
The damage to buildings has been
enormous. In Palmi alone it is 100000
lire, without reckoning the losses of
furniture and other notable goods. In
Reggie the Prefecture, Town Hall, post.
office, Court House and prison have
been SO unsettled that it is unsafe to
occupy them. Court is sitting in the
open air, and the prisoners have been
removed to a warship in the harbor.
VOLCANO IN ERUPTION.
ROME, Nov. 20.-The volcano on
Stromboli, one of the Lipari Islands, off

Second of a Series of Games Between
Warren and Young Mems Christian As
soclation to be Played Saturday.
The second of series of football
games between Warren and the Young
Mems Christian Association will be
played at RIverview Saturday afternoon.
In case the Y. NJ. G. A., beats Warren
this will necessitate a third game which
will probably be played December LIST.
There is considerable rivalry between
the players of the opposing teams, and
if the feeling develops in Saturdays
game it will no doubt prove an interest
ing contest. Warren won. the first of
the series, and now Y. NJ. @. A. has
made up her mind that it is Just about
time for her team to carry off the
honors Besides, there is very little love
between the two elevens, and this lack
of harmony is pretty sure to show itself
when the men line up against each
other on the grid-iron. The spectators
usually look for battle royal when this
feeling OF bitterness is known to exist.
The Y. M. G. A. have been training
almost daily, and it is generally believed
that they will put up an excellent game.

sweeping through the rooms and entries
like whirlwind of death. Forty-eight

Thnrnu.hfares.

Street and Sewer Commissioners Discuss
the i,cst Manner of Repairing the City
Thnraushfares.
The question Of street improvement
was the chief matter discussed by the
Street and Sewer Commissioners last
Tuesday. Colonel Moore expressed him
self as opposed to gravel joints IN con.
nection with paving and gave 1t as his
opinion that the weather was too cold to
successfully carry out this system of
street paving. IL is necessary to keep
the gravel red hot while the paving is
being done, and unless the worklnen
were carefully watched and the strictest
attention paid to the work during the
cold weather it was his belief that this
system of paving would not besuccessful.
1t was decided to macadamize one
square on Twenty-ninth street, west of
Market, and to pave Front street, be-
tween French and Market, with Belgian
blocks.
The board decided to get the opinion
of the city solicitor in regard to faulty
sidewalks.
