Looters took possession OF the ruins and
ultimately respectable citizens were
forced TO arm themselves aud fight for
food to escape starvation.

Immediately after the first shock n chasm
80 feet wide was opened in the earth.
From this there gushed forth a food Of
boiling water, some jets rising to the
height of an ordinary house. Many in
jured persons who were in this vicinity
we're horribly scalded by the flowing
stream.
As the ststion-master made his way
to place of safety he saw human limbs
sticking out from the masses of ruin.

TIE NEW YEAR.

The world has started on another year
Of the Christian era. II is impossibIe to
tell how much history will be made be-
fore the 31st OF next December. The
wear which closed last night added few
grewsome chapters to The annals of the
mon. A fire 10 8 moving picture show
at Boyerstown, Ps,, caused the death OF
about $50 persons, mostly children, and
= copAsgrstion in an Ohio school house
destroyed equally as many more little
ones.
The old year will ever be remembered
from the fnct that the most disastrous
earthquake and appalling loss OF life In
the worlds history occurred during the
closing week. While myriads of people
are rejoicing and participating In the
cheer incident 10 the new year, many
thousands in Sicily and parts Of Italy
are mourning the deaIh OF ioFeu O"0''
and equally as many more without shell
ter, cold aud nearly iamished with their
minds almost blank, are huddled TO-
gether awaiting kind hands TO alleviate
their sufferiDgs.
Truly those Of us who are so fer re-
moved from SUCH sceoes and who seldom
suffer from commissions Of nature, have
much for which TO be thankful.
Let US hope that the year upon which
We have entered may leave joy and con-
tentment 10 its wake, and that nothing
may occur among Us or peoples OF other
climes to bring distress.
