EARTHQUAKE SHOCK AT ROME
The Vatican Building Severely
Shaken.

lures FOIL Down, and People Rushed

Anxious For tho Safety of Others.

longed earthquake shook was felt hare
at 4:5s this morning. Many houses
swayed badly, walls were cracked. pic.
lures and other articles fell from the
walls and other places, people ran panic.
stricken in the streets and serious dis.
aster was Tor time apprehended. Han.
ply the first shock seems to have ended
the subserraneous disturbances, and the
frightened inhabitants returned to their
homes. So far as is known no seriou q
damage was done.
Some ides OF the alarm created NAV
be gathered from tho fact that a prison
was 80 badly shaken that the terrified
prisoners broke out int open revolt and
tried to escape from the building. The
situation became so serious that the
troops from neighboring barrack were
hastily summoned and IL was not until
they had surrounded and taken po,.es-
sion Of the prison that order WAS re-
stored. The inmates were driven back
at the point OF the bayonets to their
cells.
The Vatican buildings were severely
shaken, but the pope was perfectly
tranquil throughout the disturbance.
The thoughts of his holiness were NOT
for himself but for other people in dan
ger. de sent to the nearest police de-
pot to inquire IL there had been any loss
OF life or serious damage to property,
and his holiness was much relieved
when he was informed that the damage
done was slight. and that no loss OF life
had been reported.
A series of shocks lasted about eleven
seconds Two clocks in the observa-
tory were stopped, and the old tower of
the Roman college was cracked. Shocks
were also felt at Rocca di Papa, but al
Shough the people were thrown into q
panic, no serious damage was done.

Praise for the Reform School.

The Arizona Gazette of yesterday contains a column and half article on the reform school. It is highly laudatory of the new institution. and among other things it says:
 "The total cost of the building will be within $40, ,000, and judging by the amount of work that has already been done for the money expended. the territory will get the best of value for the amount expended. The material is red sandstone, secured at the Flag staff quarry, and is of the best. By those most interested in the consummation of the reform school project it is believed that Flagstaff offers exceptional facilities for the maintenance of such an institution at minimum cost to the commonwealth. Agriculture will, of course, engrOss many of the inmates in the tilling of the reform school farm, while near at hand is the box factory of the Arizona Lumber company. where the delft hands of an almost unlimited number of boys and girls may be given light employment at fair wages. If au older class of malefactors be ever assigned to the institutions there are near al hand great sandstone quarries. where the prisoners could well earn more than their keep.
 "Of one thing the territory of Ari zona may be assured: Flagstaff feels a warm interest in the reform school and under no circumstances will sht suffer it to lapse or become inopera tive.
