Destructive Earthquake Visits the
PeninsuIar of Calabria.
TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Many Villages and Towns Destroyed
or Badly Damaged by the Terrible
Convulsion Of Nature-There Was
Some Loss Of Life, But Not As
Great As Was At First Reported


from Rome.
= dispatch from Catanzaro, Italy.
say violent earthquake was record
ed there at half past nine O'Clock
Thursday morning.
The prisoners in the Catanzaro
jail were awakened by the shock.
They rushed to the window and beat
upon the bars, screaming to be let
out, but the jail guards had already
fed. Many of the villages that were
destroyed by the earthquake Of 1905
and since reconstructed, have been
destroyed second time, and num-
Der Of persons are buried in the
ruins.
The details received regarding the
earthquake in every way tend to
show that the damage done was much
more extended than at first estimated
but that the loss Of life has not been
great.
The lowest estimates place the
number Of killed at about twenty and
the highest at about 120, but up to
this evening there is nothing to show
that the last figures mentioned are
correct. Nothing definite will be-
known on the subject until the ruins
are cleared away.
Details Of the earthquake show that
the shocks were especially severe in
southern end of the Calabrian pen
insula, but throughout Calabria there
were scenes of desolation and de-
spair.
The first shock was tremendous
one and was followed by two others
OF longer duration, which entirely
destroyed two villages and reduced
many houses in several others to a
mass of ruins.
The first shock fortunately brought
the entire population of the villages
into the open, and many succeeded
in making their escape to the hills
or open plains, which accounts for
the smallness of the list Of fatilities-
To add to the desolation caused
by the earthq quake, it was raining IN
torrents, which greatly increased the
suffering amoung the homeless peo-
pie. Many persons were buried In
the ruins, and at Sinopli and Stilario
more lives are said to have been lost.
Panic prevailed everywhere.
Rocello. Jonica, Reggie, Cosanza,
Baracdio, Cittanova, Palmi, Marina
and other towns also suffered from
the shocks, but none severely.
The cathedral Of Tore Di Gerace
was thrown down as was also an an
cient tower which had withstood all
the Calabrian earthquakes for CEN
turies past. Half the houses In the
village of Geraoe are in ruins, and
similar conditions prevail in a NUM-
Der of other points in Calabria.
During the confusion caused by the
first shock, the prisoners in the Jail
at Catanzaro mutined, and were only
subdued with great difficulty. The
female prisoners were particularly
alarmed, screaming and shouting and
beating the doors until the whole
place was In terrible uproar. The
prison officials did everything possi-
bic to calm the inmates, but panlces
broke out afresh every time an earth
shock was experienced. AS soon as
possible detatchments Of troops with
relief trains were hurried to the
scene of the disaster, and did every
thing they could to assist the reopie.
who had fed from their homes.

THE NEWS AND THE ADS.
Does It Pay The Reader to Read Ads? Hodges of Broadway in To-
 day's Issue,

We are always pleased to welcome to the columns of the Journal and Cou- Tier good business firms, especially To- cal ones. We are pleased because of the financial returns the paper receives and because of the benefits our readers receive financially from reading and needing the advertisements.
 We are thorough believers in adver- Using. A good advertisement is the a statement from the head of a firm, Gas the governing spirit) to the public at large, of wares he offers, of quality and prices he stands back of, and which, as a firm-over his own name-he puts forth.
 The sooner the public begins to give heed to advertisements, the sooner it will find that they are it's friends and helpful ones.
 These thoughts are suggested by the large advertisement of H. M. Hodges & Bros, wholesale and retail dealers in wall papers, paints, varnishes and plumbers supplies, on Broadway, near York street.
 The announcement is opportune. The opportunity is rare. September 1st ends, to large extent, summer vaca- tions; begins the preparations for home occupancy. Fall and winter are ahead of us. We now prepare to make homes cheerful and inviting; in other words, to venerate and beautify.
 One of the accessories to this end is wall paper. This firm Gas all good firms) seeks to keep it's stocks new and complete. The fiscal year finds them with stocks they desire. to move to make room for incoming shipments.
 To effect this they make concessions in prices. In this case remarkable ones. Moreover, the offer is limited to one week, commencing this morning and ending next Saturday evening
 We could mention what these con sessions are, but the announcement is on Page ?. Turn to it and see whether it pays to read ads

COMMEND WORK OF FLEET.
Naval War College Members Pleased With Maneuvers of Evans BattIe-
 chivS


 Newport, R. |, Sept. s.-Members of the naval war college who arrived here today after several days spent on board the ships of Rear Admiral Evans battleship fleet, during the ma neuvers in Southern waters and on the trip up into Massachusetts waters spoke in terms of high commendation of the work of the ships. They said that in all the evolutions the distances were kept admirably and all the move- ments were carried out with great precision. While off Nantucket shoals the ships ran into a thick fog and the new submarine signal bell system was given a severe test and the officers of the war college said it was thoroughly successful.
 The fleets speed was reduced but, although they could not see each oth- CT in the mist, the distances were maintained perfectly.

Exciting Fight of Two CollinsyilIe
 Men With Huge Reptile.

Collinsville. Sept. z--Wallace Buttles and Trifle Dumas had q fight with a big snake Thursday just at the entrance of the Cherry Park fair grounds. Cherry Park abounds in huge snakes, and this one had come out into the highway.
 Buttles and Dumas were unarmed, and the former attempted to kill the reptile by stamping on it's head. He brought his heel down within an inch another attack the reptile had wound around his left leg and was climbing upward. Buttles was nearly frantic, but clutched the snakes head in his hand, and squeezed it harder than the charmer in the side show does. It was striped adder, and measured exactly six feet and two inches It was about as large around as a mans wrist,

been less finished than it was it might have been tiresome. But there was the redeeming feature that the two men were funny,
 Gorge N. Hobart has surrounded the speciality work of Mcintyre and Heath with just enough plot to make it musical novelty. There were a number of tuneful melodies into which the chorus was worked with effect The best of these were Man haitian Isle," "The Minstrel Troup and "The Automobile Honeymoon. With the exception of one song which fell to the lote of Belle 0Old all the solo work was left to Phil Smith.
 That the American public loves black faced comedy when it is we'll done is testified to by the success that "The Ham Tree" has had in New York, and as such it deserves all the laurels which it has garnered.

Mcintyre and Heath Satisfy a Good
 Audience.
 Patrons of the Hyperion theater who went to "The Ham Tree' Friday night with an idea of seeing two clev- CT negro tmpersonators and get value received for the price of their seats in laughter, went away satisfied. That Mcintyre and Heath are funny goes without saying, and all the time that they were on the stage the audience was pleased. The two negro come- dians made their audience laugh as a New Haven audience rarely does, spontaneously and at length. They told stories and the great majority of them were not only good but new, which was refreshing. In fact "The Ham Tree" was just what it had been represented to be, namely, the elabo- ration of a sketch and it was extreme ly we'll done.

WRECK BEE COLONY.
Henry Il. Jeffrey of Woodbury Loses 1000 Pounds of Honey by Up-
 set Hives.

Woodbury Sept S-An investigation is being made to discover the identity of the persons who caused the destruc- tion of dozen bee hives belonging to Henry L. Jeffrey, as we'll as the ruin ation of 1000 pounds of honey several days ago.
 Theact was perpetrated at night and 1t is believed to be the work of per sons who know the ways of bees, Some of the hives were burned bees and all, while others were simply overturned. That persons versed in bee culture did the job is evidenced by the fact that the honeycombs were found to have been broken open. this being done in order to protect the raiders from the bees, which direct their whole atten- ton to the work of saving the running honey, rather than let 1t go to waste and attack their enemies
 MT. Jeffrey also lost all his record cards, which were pasted on each hive. He harvests annually from 5000 to 4,000 tons of honey, and is one of inc best known bee men in the state.

GREEK CHURCHMEN HERE.
Pleased With Services at Christ Epis-
 copal Church.

Among those who attended the choral evensong at Christ r. D. church last evening were Rev. Father Alexandrof, rector of the Russian Orthodox churcn of Ansonia, and Prof. Paul Zaichenko, director of music in the same church. Both gentlemen were very much inter- ested in the service, parts of which bear a close resemblance to that of their own, i.e the Holy Orthodox Cath ollie (Eastern) church. After the ser vice both visitors were hospitably en- tertained by the clergy and some of the vestry of Christ church The bish- ops and clergy of that ancient com- munion, (most commonly known as the Greek church), entertain very high regard for the Anglican church. It may be stated that the service books of the Eastern church have furnished the inspiration for much that Is most ad- mired in the Episcopal Book of Com mon Prayer.
