Italian Towns

By Earthquake
Violent Shock Thursday

Remain Unknown.
\ BY The Associated Press

Rome, Sept. 9.--Another violent
earthquake occurred in the Emilia
district at 2,55 o'clock this morning,
causing loss of lives and important
damage
The communities suffering the
most were Reggie, Ospedaletti. Bus
sanna. Toano, and Cavola. This
mornings shock was more, violent
than that of Tuesday. -
More than 800 persons perished in
the earthquake disaster which shat
tered cities and villages north of
Florence OH Tuesday morning. Re-
lief work is being done under dif-
ticulty in the ruined mountain
towns.
More Shocks Felt. Il
New shocks, but none of them of
the intensity of the one which
caused the widespread destruction,
early Tuesday, have been felt in
Florence and surrounding country.
These have shaken down tottering
structures, however. and still further
delayed the work of rescuers. Massa-
Carrara, in the center of the earth
quake zone, was cut off from COM
munication with the outside world
last night. but it is not believed
new catastrophe has occurred there.
A tragic scene was enacted at Ma
rina, near Carrara, when the earth
quake shattered a church where
mass was being celebrated. Father
Friggotti, the pastor, had just raised
the chalice in the most solemn mo-
ment of the service when the ceiling
of the edihce fell upon the congre-
CATION, killing many of those who
/worshipingc. The priest, though
slightly injured, reyerently finished
the service before attending to the
injuries of those about him.
Pope Sends Succor,
Less fortunate was Father Ric-
cardo Bruscoletti at Caftanzalvo,
who was killed while celebrating
mass. -
Pope Benedict sent telegram to
CARDINAL Peer Mafi, archbishop of
Pisa. asking him to gS into the
earthquake zone and administer aid
and moral support and distribute
supplies.
