Great Distress at calitri and Other
Towns in Avellino Province
Suffer.
LOSS OF LIFE ABOVE THIRTY
King and Queen Rush to Scene in
Special Train-People, Caught
While Sleeping, Flee.

The province of Avellino bore the
brunt of severe earthquake that was
felt throughout Southern Italy shortly
before dawn the other day. The dead
are estimated from thirty.five to fifty.
and many are injured. Distressing
scenes were witnessed as thousands
fled In terror from their novels, some
dying Of fright. Much damage was
done to property, but 1t is impossible
to determine the extent of the devas-
tation.
In Avellino Nlittle harm was done,
and the only death reported was that
OF an old man who died of fright. The
population. however, was terror-strick.
en-.
Reports from villages throughout the
province are much more grave. AZ
Calitri. where twenty people are re-
ported killed. the situation Is distress
ing. Ten persons are said to have met
| death at San Sossio, where the sulphur
waters. with which the district is rich,
were released from bounds by the dis
turbance and flooded the vicinity. From
the flood noxious gases arose. At Chi.
anche house fell, burying and killing
an aged man. One person was killed
and several were injured at Castelba-
roma. 'Calabritto was badly damaged.
1t was In the darkest hour OF the
morning when the shock was felt at
Avellino. The sleeping town was arous-
ed by the shaking of walls, the rafting
of furniture and the falling Of plaster
from the ceilings. In moment panic
had seized the 10000 inhabitants. who
live in daily fear of seismic disaster.
Half naked men, women and children
fed from their homes screaming with
terror. They had in their minds Wis.
ions OF Messina and the horror Of Reg
gio. Recently there was gossiped about
prediction that the approach of Hal
ley's comet portended the end Of the
world. The authorities kept their
heads. but they could not stay the mad
rush for the squares and open districts
outside the city. The widest confu.
sion prevailed and the frightened ones
could not be reasoned with; could not
be stopped. In the squares hundreds
threw themselves upon their faces and
implored the mercy OF the Almighty.
After several hours Of frantic entreaty
the authorities succeeded in ,re-estab-
fishing semblance of calm and relief
squads were organized. AS is usually
the case, the Inhabitants refused to re-
enter their homes. fearing that another
quake would occur. Throughout the
day the police were busy bringing to.
gether the scattered members OF fami-
lies and reassuring the frightened ones.
Word that the king and queen were
en- route there on special train served
to afford new courage to the people and
had good effect in restoring order.
