The strike outlook for the coal
miners is gradually growing brighter.
Many of the operators have agreed
to the demands of the miners, who
have returned to work. 1t now seems
probable that all the operators will
soon grant the demands, which is
simply to place the scale where it
was three years ago.

EARTHQUAKE ADDS TO
THE NAPLES HORROR.
Hundreds Are Going Insane as Result
Of the Fright and the PriVatiOnS
They Are UNDERGOING.

Earthquake shocks are adding
terror to the situation in Naples and
the surrounding section. Houses are
lettering. Disaster is following dis
aster and the eruption is steadily
growing worse. Five hundred Corpses
were removed and 1000 are estimated
lost.
Thousands are starving and many
are going insane from terror and pri-
walton.
Almost equal with the devastation
wrought by the lava is the damage
done by cinders and ashes, which in
incredible quantities have been car
ried great distances.
This has caused the practical de-
struction of San Giuseppe, town of
5000. All but 200 of the population
left the place and they were assem-
bled in a church. While mass was
being said the church fell, killing
and wounding most of them.
A frightful disaster occurred in
Naples. 1t is estimated that 200 peo-
die were buried in the ruins of the
market, where the roof collapsed
under weight of cinders from the
volcano. Among the dead are many
children sent to do the marketing,
and the grief of the parents is heart
rendering.
At Ottajano five churches and ten
buildings fell under the weight of the
ashes, which are several feet thick.
The fate of many children at
Ottajano is unknown. When the
military carts arrived the children
and aged people were put in them,
but when they had gone a few hun
dred feet it was found that the hor-
ses could not pull them. This caused
panic and the children fled in every
direction in the darkness, and have
not since been seen.
The scenes at Ottajano when the
first victims were unearthed were
most terrible. The position of the
bodies showed that the victims had
died while in great terror, their
faces being convulsed with fear.
Fory-nine bodies were taken from
one church. In the valley cinders
and ashes lie to the depth of $50 feet.

D. E. Murphy, of the switch crew
met with a very serious accident
yesterday. He was on top of box
car near the planning mill when he
was struck by a guy rope, which
knocked him off the car, and he fell
onto a fat car, striking on his head
and shoulders, receiving very serious
bruises, the results of which cannot
yet be foretold. He was immedi-
ately conveyed to the A. c. Hospital
where he is receiving every atten-
ton. If he is not seriously injured
internally the chances are most
favorable for his recovery.
