Rome, Oct. 2-It is now feared that at
least IOOO persons, a quarter Of the en-
tire population Of Ferrazzano, have per-
ished as a result OF the earthquake. Many
Of the injured inhabitants are still alive
in the ruins
Ferrazzano is located on a hill near the
sea. II has no telegraphic communication
with the outside world and not even car
riage roads. It can be reached only with
great difficulty, which is increased by the
ruins. Other suffering villages are SINH
larly isolated. News Of the disaster is
very difficult TO obtain
/ A crevasse several feet wide and nearly
a mile long opened near Gerace. A cease
/ less rain has flooded the neighboring
country, delaying relief and sometimes
making It impossible The whole popula-
tion Of Cstanzare spent the night in
church, where the image OF the towns
patron saint was exposed.
Two Hundred Bodies Recovered.
Two hundred bodies have been taken
/ from the ruins Many injured persons
also have been removed. Members Of the
/ Red Cross and volunteers are busily
searching for the dead and rescuing the
injured throughout the affected area.
/ A war ship has been ordered to aid suf-
ferers along the coast. The government
has made an initial grant Of $4,000 for
the relief of the victims. It is not likely
! that the spontaneous public subscriptions
/ for aiding the sufferers by the earthquake
in 1865 Will be repeated, as most Of the
money then raised was misappropriated
It is possible that large number Of
those who have lost most Of their pos-
sessions viii emigrate.

Street ParadeS.

The news that the Federation of
Labor in Chicago has declared
against the annual parades on La
Dor Day is interesting and may
turn out to be important. The
leaders think it is an antiquated
and costly way of impressing the
public with a sense of the strength
of labor, and that the money it
costs may be better employed.

a talk to the growers.
I'm the event of the failure OF

growing industry. under coop

that the growers may build and

conduct their business independ-
entity of the present markets.
Another step, even more radical

tobacco on hand to run its manu-

wonderful old yew forming the principal feature
of the courtyard of Howth Castle which takes its
from the peninsula which it stands,
situated about nine miles from Dublin. The i'm
mense age of the tree is indicated among other
things, by the care with which its branches
prOpped up. This preCaution has been adopted,
not only in endeavor to prolong its life. but also
because of the superstition to the effect that when

OF member of the Howth family quickly follows.
For two three years the tree has been rottng

life, decay has sapped its vitals and it is dead.
Simultaneously there comes the news of the very
serious illness of the octogenarian Lord Howth.
whose demise may have occurred before this article
appears in print. He is the last of his line, and
without issue. and by his death his family and his
honors. which latter comprise barony granted by
King Henry IL: and confirmed by King John of

say the least, something uncanny about this dis
appearance of an ancient house coincldently with
the death of the tree with which its fortunes have
been allied for centuries and neither Lord Howth
himself. nor any of the people of the district round
his castle have the slightest doubt about the fatal
issue of his present illness, being firmly convinced
that his death knell has been struck by the deStruc
ton of the tree.
The castle. which dates from the twelfth cen

which has never been omitted since the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. Every day, matter whether
the lord has been in the residence not, its big
