The railway service is abominable.
Business men have often to drive In

little business, however, Is done. Half
dozen merchants whose warehouses
were left standing, continue to work In
them. Others are forced to pack their
merchandise outside Messina, and to
send II here for shipment when steam

Very little. IL any, effective relief
