fLoRKNcE- May lo.-Thw population
OF this city was thrown into state oe
panic last night by series, OF earth
quakes that did much damage here
AND Ia other places. People Who wereru
thesr houses when the first shock came
ran terrorstricken into the street, and
Sheis wild cries were heard everv-
where. The shocks were SO. violent
that houses swnyed like ships In n
seaway, and in a number os cases
roofs fell in, infnring many persons
who had not sought safety In fight.
The widest scenes were at the thea
oers where performances were going
on as usual. The first shock caused
those In the audiences TO look wcnder-
ingly at each other. Then the earth
swayed again and amid shouts Of
earthquakes" the orowds made wild
rushes for the exits. Mad with ter
rorr no respect was shown for the
women weak OF aged, aud In the crush
many were badly hurt Upon reach
ing the streets the crowds from the
theaters met those who had fed from
their dwellings, and she excitement

founded.

the shocks we're very violent. The ex-
tent OF the earth movement may be
gained FROM the fact that a loaded
omnibus was overturned. Twelve res
idents Of Grassina were hurt
A number Of persons refuse d to 70
enter their houses during the night.
They remained on the streets until
after daylight this morning. Many Of
them took SHELTER in vehicles. After
the first severe shocks they were felt
at Lucca, Pontedora and generally
throughout Tuscany. The center Of
the movement was at Florence, where,
for many years. nothing similar has
occurred Around Florence a number
Of houses were destroyed, and four
persons were killed. The Prince Of
Naples, the crown prince, started for
Grassina at 4 o'clock this morning.
LATEK-As further reports Of the
earthquake come to hand the extent
Of the disaster widens. At Lappigna,
a village near Grassina, no less than
forty houses were thrown from their
foundations and completely wrecked
A sad feature Of the disaster at this
place was the finding Of the body Of a
young mother, with her infant clasped
to her heart. She had evidently at
tempted TO fee, but. together with her
child, was crushed TO death beneath
the falling walls Of her home.
Great damage was done In Florence
To-day an investigation was made By
the municipal authorities, who esti-
mated that 5000 houses were dam
aged. The Cathedral (La Cattedrale
di Santa Marie del Fioree). an impos-
ing example Of Italian Gothic archi-
lecture. and probably the most re-
malxable building Of its kind In Eu-
rope, was somewhat damaged.

Vicksburg, May 15.-The rainfall for
the past week has been In excess Of crop
requirements in nearly all portions Of
the State. In limited localities small
streams overfowed, damaging the sur
rounding lowland crops, and in few
other sections the rains were &C
companied by severe hail storms. The
main drawback, however. has been the
general retardation Of field work and
the consequent unchecked growth Of
grass and weeds in the crops, which
have been kept clean to the present
period. Warm weather until the close
OF the week favored rapid plant growth
since Saturday (the 1lth) low tempera'
lures have prevailed, with but little
damage, however.
Cotton continues to present good
stands over most Of the State. Choppinp
is general, and scraping has begun IN
places. Early corn has about all beer
worked out, and is reported nearly
ready to be laid by in sections Of th'
southern counties. A little late plant
ing Of both cotton and corn is still be
ing done, but has nearly reached com
pletion.
The condition Of the oat crop is vari
opsly commented upon, the extent o
damage done by winter freezes being
the main factor affecting reports as 4
stands. Meadows and pastures hav'
been benefited by the rains. Most favor
able reports have been received respect
ing the outlook for early vegetables
fruits, berries and all minor products
Many varieties OF vegetables are being
marketed. Strawberries continue plen
tiful; tomatoes, squashes, cucumber
and melon vines are in bloom.

A New Railroad.

Houston, May 1s.-Maj. H. L. Under
wood, OF Birmingham, Ala, is here In
the interest Of the proposed Nashville &
Mississippi Delta Railroad. An enthu-
siastic meeting Of citizens was held to-
day, and, after few hours canvass for
subscription, $40, 1000 was raised In this
town. Committees have been appointed
to solicit further subscriptions in this
(Chickasaw) county, and like commit
tees are at work IN Calhoun and Grenada
counties. Maj. Underwood proposes TO
complete this line from Okolona to
Birmingham, distance Of 70 miles,
provided 10000 acres Of land are do
mated.
This amount will be fully realized in
few days, when be promises TO move
the fall crop. This is an important line
OF railroad, traverslng as it does the
finest hardwood timber region in the
South. Houston, with its already num-
erous advantages, is destined to become
one Of the prominent towns Of Missis-
sippi. Nestled among the hills and
pines, its balmy breezes and clear spark
ling waters which cause the ruddy glow
of health to be depicted on the faces OF
each Of its inhabitants, possessing one
OF the largest boarding schools In the
South, and situated in the center Of the
richest farming belt in Mississippi u
will be pleasant. indeed, to find resi-
dence among her good people.
This line Of railroad was graded Is
wears ago and while numerous attempts
have been made to revive the enterprise
nothing has fully materialized. The
citizens are fully alive to their interest
in this matter, and the road viii be built

A most interesting meeting was
held at the American League last
evening. While the meetings as a
rule are supposed not to be public,
we can hint that measures will be
taken by the League favoring gen.
eral amnesty of political prisoners.
The League knows its power and it
is sale to say that il it shows its in
huence into the scale the general
pardon now favored by the whole
community will be accomplished
The indications are that the League
will act in this way and irrespective
of the irreconcilable missionary ele-
ment represented by the Advertiser

The Time.

To-day's issue of the Time is
as spicy and lively as its prede-
cessors. The cartoon on the front
page is really good. 1t represents
a gentleman resembling the At
torney- General declining the APP
plication of a kneeling Chinaman
labeled "opium license" Dare we
call the attention of editor Stacker
to the fact that the noble figure
who says "No, Sir" holds his left
hand on his back in a position
which makes it impossible for the
spectator to see if the paw is open
for a consideration or is already
closed-after consideration. The
suggestion is quite natural to PEG.
pie familiar with the story of
opium licenses in Hawaii. But we
must ask the Time in the future
to picture our imm aculate officials
in profile.
