communication with this city.
The shock occurred at 1907 o'clock
this morning, while the people were
st!ll In their beds. Many houses at
calitri tun1bled. burying the occu-
pants In ruins. Those who escaped
death or serious injury fled terror
stricken to the country. Troops have
been despatched from all quarters into
the affected district.
News from Salerno at the head Of
Gulf Salernok thirty miles southeast
OF Naples is a shock distinct there
caused considerable damage. Details
are lacking.
The shock was also felt at conzenza
Paola, catauzaro Reggie, Potenza
Benevento and Capua Melf. 1t is
said the damage to these towns is not
serious and there was no loss of life.

IT you use little care and do

otherwise it will soon be rutted

TROLLEY LINE ON
CONCORD AVENUE
Company Will Build Extension
and Deed Street if City
Will Grade

II is probable that in the near flu
ture the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company viii ask the Street
and Sewer Department for a franchise
to extend its tracks out Concord ave-
nue. from Twenty-second and Wash
ington streets.
Officials OF the company have con-
ferred informally with the directors
but nor formal application has been
made.
The railway company sometime age
obtained a controlling interest i'm the
Concord Turnpike Company with a
view to an extension OF its line TO the
Boulevard. II has thus been enabled
to offer Concord avenue TO the city
for use as a street IN return for It's
grading and care by the city. The
avenue is now unusually high and
must be lowered before the line can
be extended. The Street Directors
are considering this proposition, and
II is probable It will be accepted.
