GREECE'S Big CALAMITY.
HUNDREDSO FPEOPLEKILLED
BY THE EARTHQUAKES.
The Walls OF Two Churches Fall

Camp Almost Unfed i'm the Fields.
Many reports from the towns in Greece
which suffered most severely from the two
days period of the earthquakes have been
received. The loss of life and prope rty is
much greater than was at first supposed.
In the Locris district 129 persons are
known to have been killed by falling walls,
and many others are missing.
A parish church in Proskino collapsed
during yespers and thirty men and women
were killed outright, while several Who
were dug out alive from the ruins are likely
to die.
Ninety persons were buried in the ruins in
Malesina and sixty of them were killed. The
others may recover. In many towns Whole
households have disappeared.
In Martino thirty nine persons were killed
by falling timbers. Most Ofthem died within
the walls of church whose roof foil in dur
ing service.
Although there has been small loss of life
In Athens and its envirOns, the damage to
property has been enormous. The buildings
In which the Austrian Lloyd and tho FlOriC
Rubbattino companies had their offices were
wrecked completely. The roof collapsed,
the floors broke and the walls are rent.
Hardly whole piece of furniture was left in
either building.
For years the work of restoring the famous
Byzantine Church at Daphne has been in
progress. The dome and walls had been re
paired, but they were cracked and crumbled,
and the beautiful mosaics were disfgured
beyond hope Of restoration.
Appeals for help come in hourly. But
little can be done toward alleviating the
prevalent distress, as there are no charity
organizations of Importance.
In dozens of towns the houses have been
deserted, the Inhabitants are camping un-
sheltered and almost unfed in the fields, and
cannot be persuaded to return to their homes
The King, accompanied by M. Bouphides,
Minister of the Interior, has begun visiting
the districts which have suffered most keenly.
The reports show that very many of the
deaths occurred in the churches. 1t was
Passion Week in the Greek Church, and re-
ligious services were held every day and
evening. The services were very largely at
tended, and, several churches falling, this i'll
q measure accounts for the large loss of life
A majority of tho victims were women and
children.
The Government will be compelled to
adopt extraordinary measures to help the
poor in the districts affected. Steps to this
end have already been taken, and the State
authorities are giving quick response to the
calls that are being made upon them.

ment OF the county building, which
is still further from the business
streets of the city. The advantages
urged in favor of removal are that
the service will be provided with a
vault for the storage of records and
valuables and that the rental paid will
be source of income to the county.
1t is understood that Mr.. Reed, the
present leaser, agrees to the removal
provided he is paid the cost of the
boxes, about $1,000. 1t is proposed to
allow Mr.. Reed the 800 annual rental
until this amount is paid. The re-

upon the wishes of the Postmaster

A THEORY FINDS DEMONSTRATIONS
The Talcott flowing well of water
demonstrates q fact long suspected
that there is a reservoir of water I'M
der the hard-pan which constitutes the
subetratum of the TOWNSHIP. Many
years ago, the residents of the village
of Olympia obtained all their water
for domestic use from spring, which
is now covered by the Chambers build
ing, corner Of Fourth and Main streets.
This was found to flow with much
force, and hogshead was embedded
in the ground with the upper head in
place, in to which was screwed a pipe
several feet in length with an elbow,
under which q bucket could be con-
veniently placed for filling. The
water readily rose in the pipe and
flowed in continuous stream from
the outlet. To test the force of the
underground pressure this was re-
moved and pipe ten or twelve feet
in length was substituted, and the
current flowed over its top, showing
very clearly that the supply came
from some elevated source, and fell
into a Theoretically sealed reservoir,
where it was retained under pressure.
The extent of this underground lake
can only be conjectured. If it were
known to be of much extent, it would
doubtless at once be made available by
those paying water rent, as the cost OF
boring hole the depth of the Talcott
well is but nominal compared with the
perpetual cost of the present means oil
supply.
