EARTHQUAKE
KILLS 500
Much Property Destroyed and PeO-
pie Camp in Rain

Rome, Oct. 25.-At o'clock last
evening about 200 bodies were taken
from the earthquake ruins in Gala
bria. 1t is now estimated that the
deaths will surpass 500, but it lie i'm
possible to get accurate Information
on this subject, as many villages are
still cut off by the floods and the
destruction of roads and telegraph
lines and no word from them can be
had.
Rome, Oct. 25.-Earth shocks
throughout Calabra Yesterday caused
considerable damage, destroying two
villages. To add to the desolation
was raining torrents.
The cathedral at Tower Di Ge Race
was thrown down, as was an ancient
tower which had withstood all the
earthquakes for centuries.
The earth shocks continue, but
they are slight. The people are still
in condition of apprehension which
10 increased by each tremoT In
spite of the tnrrential rain that is
falling, they absolutely refuse to re-
main under any covering. They have
made their beds in the open. Mat
tresses have been spread about the
squares and the fields surrounding the
stricken villages and the people are
covering themselves and their chill
dren as best they may. Many thous-
ands will pass the night in this man
ner. The only buildings that the
frightened people will consent to use
are the churches and even there they
will not stay long. Sacred relics
have been exposed in the cathedral Of
Catanazo and this served in measure
to calm the populace.
No bodies had been recovered from
the ruins until O'Clock last even
ing. At that hour about 200 we're
taken out. This earthquake bids
fair to rival that of 1905.
The confusion caused by the earth
quake was increased by mutiny of
the prisoners in the Catanazro Jail.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Aug. 20.-Stock markets
showed advances of one to two points
in the late dealings. The market had
been oversold and shorts came in. IL
was a speech market-the Taft utter
ances had a bearish effect early. Later
the presidents speech came upon the
scene. The speech showed no change
in policy but obviously its effect had
been discounted by the Taft obserVa-
tions. The president also disclalmed
any connection with the declines IN
Wall street and said similar conditions
existed abroad. He said his actions
were for the good Of the country. The
street thought better of his speech af-
ter a second reading and sentiment
rose a little, shorts accordingly coming
to the front
The chief features throughout the
session was the trade in the traction
shares. Brooklyn Rapid Transit bobbed
around between 81 and SO during the
early part of the session, but in the
last half hour of trade, shorts made
a scramble to cover bidding the shares
UP to 43.
The railroad list showed fair gains at
the close of the market with the tenn
perment of the market stiu nervous.
