that the crisis would not come for three

order the mayor to surrender, and he
being a disciplined man, would obey.
Miss Annie said the Republican parlia-
ment in Ireland could no more order her

Rome, Seps. 9.-More than 300 per-
sons perished in the earthquake disaster
which shattered cities and villages north
of Florence on Tuesday morning. Govern
ment and private relief agencies are
engaged in the work of aiding the sur
vivors and searching the ruins for any
victims who may still be alive, but the
work is seriously handicapped by diff
Guilty In reaching many of the ruined
towns which are situated in the noun
tains. Electric light wires have been
broken and work in the runs must stop
at nightfan.
New shocks, but none of them of the
intensity of the one which caused the
widespread destruction early on Tuesday
have been felt in Florence and in the
neighborhood of that city. These have
shaken down tottering STRUCTURES, however
and still further delayed the work of res
cuers. Massa Carrara, in the center oI
the earthquake zone, was cut of from
communication with the outside world
last night but it is not believed a new
catastrophe has occurred there.
A tragic and memorable scene was
enacted at Marena when the earthquake
shattered a church where mass was being
celebrated. Father Friggotti, the pastor
had just raised the chalice in the most
solemn moment of the service when the
ceiling OF the edifce fell upon the conge.
CATION, killing many of those who were
worshipping. The priest was struck by
falling fragments of the ceiling and his
hands and face were cut, but he reverently
finished the service before attending tC
the injuries of those about him.
Less fortunate was Father RiccardC
Bruscoletti, at Castanzalvo, who was
killed while celebrating mass.
