EARTHQUAKES AT MEsSINA
Woman and Infant Killed. Broken
Walls of Ruins Tumbled Down
and People Terrorized.

Messina, Sicily.-Messina expert.
enced two terrific earthquakes,
which were accompanied by roaring
sounds and are said to have had a
stronger and more undulatory move
ment than the arthquake of last De-
cember which destroyed Messina, Reg
gio and other cities, laid waste to
many villages in Calabria, and killed
100000 persons. Although later
shocks had no such terrible conse-
quences. the $4,000 residents of this
city were panic-stricken.
The broken walls of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground and Mes.
sina was for a few mintues smothered
in cloud of dust. The casualties
were few, and the only persons killed
SO far as is known were a young
woman and her infant.

lice. He had two revolvers, dagger
and knife. All were new and it is

MCCLELLAN WIELDS THE AK
York Removed Because He Did
Not Obey Mayors Orders.

New York City.-One of the most
drastic upheavals in New York City's
police history occurred when Mayor
Mcclellan summarily removed Com
missioner Theodore A. Bingham for
insubordination, after the latter's re-
fusal to comply with certain revolu-
tonary orders issued by the mayor
previously. The mayors orders came
at the conclusion Of his investigation
into the alleged persecution by the
police of George B. Duffy, an inconspic-
uous and almost friendless Brooklyn
lad, who, 1t was averred, was repeat
edly arrested without just cause and
whose photograph was retained in the
rogues' gallery despite the failure of
the police to obtain a conviction
against him. The mayor held that at
least two of Gen. Bingham's lieuten-
ants were guilty of misconduct in this
affair and accordingly he demanded
their removal.
With Gen. Binghams retirement
went several of his closest advisers
and the leading supporters of his
regime. AS the head of the new
regime the mayor at once appointed
William F. Baker, hitherto deputy
commissioner.

The Marital erassbopper.

What is a grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there, and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled torecuperate at the sea-
side in summer. In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands so engaged have come to be
locally known as 'grasshoppers." No
dUlbt the word is the husband of the
more familiar grass widow."-Lon-
don Chronicle.

of Earth Cave In on Men.

1t is estimated that 20 men per-
lshed by the sudden collapse Of the
west wall of the new lock at the en-
trance to the Alexandra dock. The ex-
tension of the dock work has been in
progress for some time and so men
were working in trench 60 feet deep

foundation. Without the slightest
warning the heavy snoring timbers
gave way in the middle and the entire
structure collapsed and carried down
with 1t thousands of tons of earth, the
railway lines on both sides of the
trench, many railway cars and four
travelling cranes. Men at the bottom
of the trench had no chance to escape.
