MESSINA SHAKEN UP
SEVERE EARTHQUAKE FELT IN
THE STRICKEN CITY.
Walls Of Old Ruins ISazed-Vnlage
for q Few Moments Is Encased In a
Cloud of Dust-So Fur as Known
Only Two Persons Meet Death.

Messina experienced two terrific
earthquakes al about Z o'clock Thurs
day morning, which were accompa-
MED by roaring sounds and are said
to have had a stronger and moro I'M
dnlatory movement than the earth
quake OF last December. which de-
,stroyed Messina, Reggie and other
cities, laid waste many villages in Cal
'abria and killed 100000 people.
The walls Of the old ruins were
thrown to the ground and Messina
was for q few minutes obscured In a
cloud Of dust. The casualties were
lfew, and the only persons killed so far
As is known were q young woman and
lher infant. The woman had gone to
'Messina only a few days & and had
settled In rooms which the great
earthquake had left comparatively
door when the shock occurred, and
rushed inside to save her child. Be-
fore she could escape from the room
the second shock threw down the
walls, burying both mother n child
under the debris. Soldiers and en-
gineers. who rushed to the rescue,
heard the voice Of the woman calling
for help, and they worked over her
several hours, when they found the
mother dead, with her child in her
arms. Several persons were struck
by detached stones, but so far as is
known no one was fatally injured.
h first shock vas followed quick
~ with a second and people fed peli
NELL to the American quarter, which
they seemed to feel was their safest
place OF refuge. So great was the
rush to the American huts that the au-
thorities were unable to check the in
ivaston. n as q consequence these
structures. which were designed for
the most needy Of the populace, were
taken possession Of by the first COM

Gordon around this quarter and a
guard was mounted at the bridge lead

people were driven OF and orders were
Issued that no one should be permit

NEW QUAKE SHAKES
THE ISLAND OF SICILY
Shocks in Messira Crumble Walls
and Drive Out Many in State
of Panic.
ROAR LIKE THE BOOM OF GUNS
Some of the T~remblings More Severe
than Those of Disaster of
December 80.

Sicily was the scene Thursday of
another earthquake disaster which, i'll
Messina at least, completed the de-
struction wrought BY the shocks Of
Dec. %, in which tens of thousands
of lives were lost.
The instruments at the observatory
registered a total of ten shocks of
varying severity since 7:2O O'CLOCK
Thursday morning. Eight shocks were
felt during the night. News that has
come in there from the provinces
shows that damage has been wrought
there, but it is as yet impossible cor
1ectly to estimate the extent Of the
losses. The shocks boil at Messina
and at Reggie created a great panic
among the people of these two cities.
Houses :'nlI; People in Flight.
Walls of houses not completely de
molished in the visitation of last Win
ter were shaken down, and the inhab-
itants Of the towns rushed from the
streets toward the open country, A
woman and a child caught under the
wreckagr sustained serious injury, the
woman subsequently dying. The earth
uuakes have been becoming more in
tense recently. and Wednesday night
they were sufficiently severe to cause
alarm.
The shocks of Thursday morning
were undulating and vertical, and ac-
companied by deep roaring sounds.
The first one was followed by an X
plosion like the oar of cannon and
lasted between eight and ten seconds.
It is said that this quake was of great
err severity than the fatal one of the
night Of Dec. %. The wooden houses
and huts erected for h accommodate
ton of the people seemed to be thrown
from one side to another. Cries filled
| the air as the people fled into the
| road.
As on the night of Dec. %, the frs,
shock was followed by a circular move
| ment of the ground. Five minutes
| later there came another quake, &C
| companied by further roarings. This
| completed the destruction. The re,
mains of wrecked houses collapsed and
| the entire district was covered by a
dense cloud of dust.

her former husband, she having been
divorced from him last May. Threats
OF murder on the part OF Littlcpage
were often made. according to the
wife's story prior to the tragedy. A
lynching is feared.
At 1870 Wednesday morning Little
page succeeded in breaking through
