Residents Are Driven From Their
Homes and Are Now Camped
ir the Fields and Streets.
The Broken Walls Of the Old Ruins
Thrown to the Ground, But SO Far
as Known, Mother and Child
Were the Only Ones Killed.

Messina--This city experienced two
terrific earthquakes at about half past
Z o'clock Thursday morning, July /,
which were accompanied by roaring
sounds and are said to have had a
stronger and more undulatory move
ment than the one last December
when destroyed Messina and other
cities, laid waste many villages in
Calabria and killed 100000 persons
Although the shocks Thursday had
no such terrible consequences, the 20,
600 residents of the city were thrown
into terror. They ran into the streets
panic-stricken, and nearly the entire
population is encamped in the open
places, fearing to return to the struc
lures which nave served them as
homes since the city was destroyed
The broken walls of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground and Mes
sira was for a few minutes smoth-
cred in a cloud of dust.
The casualties were few and the only
persons killed, so far as is known,
we're a young woman and her infant
The woman had come here only few
days ago and had settled in rooms
which the great earthquake had left
relatively unchanged. She was
standing at the door when the shock
occurred and rushed inside to save
her child. Before she could escape
from the room the second shock threw
down the walls. burying both mother
and child under the stairs.
Several persons were struck by de
tached stones, but SO far as is known
no one was fatally injured
All commerce ceased in the city and
the places OF business along the sea
front were closed. AS a result sew
eral thousand workmen were idle and
special precautions are being taken
to prevent disorder.
Reggie suffered almost as severe a
shock as Messina, but no casualties
have been reported at that place. Ac-
cording to the reports the effect of the
earthquake was practically the same
as at Messina. The seismic disturb
ances was felt at Taormina, but NO
damage was done there. Within
twenty-four hours the shocks at Mes
sina numbered tWerty-three.

Confession

San Francisco-James Edward Gun
bingham, a laborer, has confessed to
the murder of Miss Caroline BrascE,
cashier for Gray Brothers Construc-
ton company, who was shot and
killed in the company's offices June

because another man was under ar
rest, charged with the crime.
The original theory as to the. mo-
tive for the murder is borne out by
the confession of Cunningham, but
the police, in the arrest of J. Novak,
another laborer, who had been en-
ployed by Gray Brothers, were en-
deavoring to fasten the crime on an
innocent man, who CHANGED to be the
