THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE.
GREAT DISTRESS STILL PREVAILING.
A Fenewal of the Panic at Genoa—Measures
for Relief—Recurrence of the
Shocks Predicted.
Honk, February 28—Troops have been com-
pelled to keep back at the poiutof thebayonet
crowds of despairing men and women who
were impeding the work of rescue in their
efforts to find missing relatives. Bodies of
the victims of the disaster were terribly
disfigured. The sufferings of the survivors
are great. The supply of provisions, drug4
nnd the ambulance apparatus are painful-
ly inadequate. The work of the rescuers is
attended with considerable danger. In
some cases they have been obliged to flee
from tottering walls, although they could
hear the groans of the victims buried be-
neath the debris. All the members of the
family of the mayor of Bajardo were killed.
Of another family consisting of twen-
ty-two persons, named Maestri, only
a single member, half demented, is left.
Half-clothed people are wandering on the
seashore, exposed to inclement weather.
At Diana Mariano a man and a child were
taken out alive after being entombed three
days. Groans can still be heard in the
inins, especially in the via Garibaldi.
The lost oil was valued at $75,000. The
losses on other property are heavy.
Oneylia is threatened with a storm
of rain or snow, which will
cause fearful distress, although clothing
and supplies of all kinds are beginning to
arrive in ample quantities from Genoa.
Tents for the refugees are being
erected, end volunteers for search parties
nre plentiful. The activity of the Genoese
is beyond praise. A boy who was en-
tombed for three days was rescued unhurt
in bed. Kobody enters a house who is able
to obtain shelter elsewhere. Only new and
well built houses are habitable.
panic renewed.
The panic was renewed at Genoa Sunday
on a raise report that Father Denzi, had
predicted another shock. Both there and
atSavonathe people refuse to return to
their houses. They stop in carriages and
improvised places of shelter. Signor
Geniana, minister of public works, has
visited Bajador and attended the funeral
of 2S0 victims of the church collapse, who
• were buried in a common trench in tbe
cemetery. He also made arrangements
for a temporary hospital for the injured.
(Slight oscillations were felt Sunday at
Albenga and Borto Maurizco. Belief com-
mittees are beiDg organized throughout
the country, but it is impossible to supply
the numerous wants. A bill will be intro-
duced m Parliament for a credit of $100,090
for relief purposes. Signors Denza and
Bianchi, experts, say there need be no fur-
ther fears. Ban liemo is deserted. There
were 303 persons killed and 150 injured in
that town.
general mention.
M. Flammarion has written an article in
which he says that a continuance of minor
shocks is likely. A chasm has opened in
the ground near Nice, from which a stream
of hot, muddy water bubbles up. Bortionsof
the coast have sunk and other porsions
risen. A stiff wind has been blowing at
Mentone, making it dangerous to walk
about. Hundreds of visitors from a dis-
tance have arrived there, being impelled
by curiosity. Building inspectors have
condemned two-thirds of picturesque old
Mentone.
MORE shocks PREDICTED.
Vienna, February 28..—M. Fabb pradio's

The New York Mail and Express of Feb-
ruary 24 contains the following concerning
the coming Dauntless Coronet ocean race:
Notwithstanding the inclement weather this
morning the work of preparing the schooner
yachts Coronet and Dauntless for their race
across the Atlantic was continued without
interruption. The Coronet was placed on
the dry dock foot of Market street at high
water, 9.30 o'clock, for overhauling. After
she is lowered, which will be about Satur-
day, the sails will be bent. The Dauntless,
in charge of a steamboat, started from her
berth at Market street just before noon, and
proceeded to the Seawanhaka-Corinthian
Yacht Club basin at Tomkinsville, Staten
Island, off which she anchored. All of to-
morrow will be spent in applying the finish-
ing touches. The new sails are perfect iu
fit, but to aid stretching they will be set
until Saturday, when the vessel will start
on a short cruise outside Sandy Hook.
As tbe starting day approaches tbe talk
as to the ocean race proving anything as to
the actual speed of each craft grows more
and more heated. The parlors of the New
York Yacht club are nightly thronged with
long distance debaters. Last evening an
old member of the organization and the
owner of a fine sloop yacht was the center
of a crowd of listeners. Said he:
"It is a farce, pure and simple. Soma
people believe it to be a struggle of the two
boats, but I for one think it is a mere battle
between the navigators of each. The best
captain will win the run, because his know-
ledge of the Atlantic currents and variable
winds will enable her to slip along, while
bis opponent is helpless in an adverse
breeze or calm. After the first day out the
inteiest in the race will cease, because the
boats will separate, and then only luck and
good seamanship will win. Neither the
Dauntless nor Coronet is a speedy vessel.
Their owners admit that. If I were a bet-
ting roan I would wager to furnish a pilot-
boat which could give either the Dauntless
or Coronet a day's start from Sandy Hook
to Queeustown, and a bad beating."
the mayflower.
Boston, February 28.—General Payne,
owner of the Mayflower, has placed her in
tbe hands of Architect Burgess, her de-
signer, and it is the latter's intentiou to
send her to England to compete with the
Arrow for the queen's cup. The yacht wiil
probably sail about the 1st of June.
the coronet fitted out.
New York, February 28.—The fitting out
of the schooner yacht Coronet has been
completed for tbe race against the Daunt-
less. The foremast has been cut down 2
feet, fore andmaintopmast 9)» feot, jibboom
3 feet, main boom 10 feet. She will carry a
long foresail, and also a square sail, her
yardarm being 60 feet long. She will go on
tbe screw dock, foot of Market street, to-
mcrrow, where the keel will bo coppered
nnd eight tons of lead ballast will be
dovetailed into it. When ready for the race
she will carry the following crew: Cap-
tain Crosby, two assistant sailing masters,
two mates, two boatswains, fourteen tneu
before the mast, a cook and a steward.
There will be four guests on board—two
tiom Boston and two from the New York
Yacht club. It is not expected that the
race will be made inside of ten days, as
heavy head winds are to be expected at this
time of the year.

THE LONE STAB IN FLAME3.
Almost Completely Destroyed at her Dock
in New York—Large Quantity o.'
Other Property Burned.
New York, February 28.—At 8.25 this
morning, fire broke out on pier 37, North-
rivc-r owned by the Morgan Line Steamship
company, and used as a discharging pier
for freight. The total loss will be about
$350,000 to $400,000. Tbe fire originated on
board the lighter Lorena, which was moored
at the extreme end of the dock. A watch-
man saw smoke issuing from the center
pile of cotton on tbe Lorena, and started
(ogive the alarm. There was no one on
tbe pier at the time, and before the watch-
man reached the alarm box, the cotton was
blazing furiously, and dense clouds of
smoke were blown into the sheds. By the
time ibo firemen arrived the pier was
ablaze. On the north side of the pier
was the steamer Lone Star, which collided
with the steamer Wells City a few days
ago, and on the south side was the steamer
City of New York. Between the Stonington
pier on the south Bide and the Guion line
pier on the north side there were moored
eight lighters loaded with cotton. The wind
was blowing a furious gale in a northeast-
erly direction, and as the cotton on the piar
caught fire the smoke filled the street so
that it was impossible to see any distance.
The blaze was beating down on the steamer
Lone Star, and it was only a few minutes
before she was afire. The tire patrol boat-
men made several attempts to get the
steamer out from the fire. It was low tide
and she was grounded. Three of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company's
tugs helped the patrol, and at
last tbe Lone Star was towed oat
into the river, and streams of water were
played on her. She was towed overt)
Guttenl erg's shore and left in charge of
two tugs. She is almost totally destroyed
She was built about twelve years ago, anl
cost 2i5,000. She has depreciated ia value
since that time, and the I033 on her will
probably be about $100,000, on which there
is no insurance. After the Lone Star was
got out of the way, attention was turned t)
ibe steamer City of New York, and she was
towed into midstream without being iu-
jured. This was 7 o'clock, and Chief McGill
and twelve of his menhadmanaged to reach
the end of the pier. They were trying to
woik their way to the lightjr Lorena,
when one of their number happened
to glance behind him and in an excited
manner ho exclaimed: "Good God, boys,
we are hemmed in!" The chief looked in
tlie direction of the street and saw that the
whole front of the pier was ablaze and that
ihtir means of escape were cutoff. Tbe
men rushed to the side of the pier and got
( ut on the string piers. Every minute the
fire from both ends was fast sweeping to-
ward them. The smoke was so suffocating
that it was difficult to breathe. Their only
boje for escape was to jump luto the water
and take the chances of being able to swim
as! ore through the gulf of fire, f be water was
flll( d with burning bales of cotton. Chief Mc-
Gill mustered the men around him and they
plajedon the fire with oae stream, whicu
they had run on to the pier, hoping that for
a. time they would beat back tbe fiamas.
The fire surrounded the hoso and it melted
in a short time. When this gave out, Chief
McGill called the men about him and said:
" Boys, the only thing for us to do now is to
risk swimming." Just as he was about to
jump into the water one of the men spied
the tugboat D. M. Cox. She was brought
to the dock and Chief McGill aud
the men were taken on board
without any one being injured. The men
were no sooner on board of the tug than
word was brought to them that Henry Wy-
att, one of the firemen of the steamer Lone
Star was locked up in tbe office, which was
a short distance from the entrance on the
water side of the pier. He was crying loudly
for help. The firemen passed him an ax,
and he tried to cut his way out. Ha was al-
most overcome, and his efforts were very
weak. Tbe window was pried open, and he
was dragged out in an insensible condition.
On the dock were 1500 bales of cotton, and
en eight barges 2500 bales, making in all
about 4000 bales.

its contents are preserved. Nothing was
saved from the opera house or the stores
and barber shop. The sufferers are Nor-
wood & Young, who owned the whole build-
ing: R. L. Jennings, postmaster; J. Strum,
barber shop; J. Kennedy, book store; J. H.

northampton, mass.
Springfield, Mass., February 28.—a fire
broke out about 4.30 this morning in Carr's
restaurant at Northampton, which was en-
tirely consumed. The fire spread to the
Mansion House, the largest hotel in the
city, which is now in flames and the fire is
reported beyond control. The hotel is sur-
rounded by large business blocks. A high
wind is blowing. The fire was subdued
after the interior of the block in which it
had started had been gutted. The 1033 will
not exceed $100,000.
A Bit of a Breeze.
Denison, Tex., February 28.—This even-
ing at9 o'clock six railroad boys, who had
been drinking pretty freely, went into John
Ourand's saloon to get a drink, and thought
they would have some fun out of the negro
porter, Harrison GaWis. But that did not
suit him, and when crowded he grabbed a
pistol and fired two shots, but did not aim
to kill anyone, firing into the floor. Four
of tbe railroad men are in jail aud two out
on bond for disturbing tbe peace. The
negro was not arrested, only as a witness,
and gave bond for his appearance. For a
short time it looked like trouble would
eDsue, as hundreds of railroad men gath-
ered, but were finally quieted down.
Married in the Nation.
Tahlequah, I. T., February 28.—The
most notable wedding that has taken place
in the Nation for a long time was consum-
mated yesterday at this place. Hon. George

Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is prepared from Sarsaparilla, Dandelion, Wan-
diake, Dock, Plpsissewa, Juniper Berries and
other well known and valuable vegetable
remedies. Tho combination, proportion and
preparation are peculiar to Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla, giving it curative power not possessed
by other medicines. It effects remarkable
cures where others fall.
" I had been troubled with hives and pimples
for some time. Other remedies having failed,
I was advised to try. Hood's Sarsaparilla. I
have taken two bottles, and am entirely cured.
I think Hood's Sarsaparilla has no equal as a

An old soldier lay dying in a little town
in Pennsylvania, one day last week. " Is
there anything on your mind that troubles
you)" asked his pastor, as aaexpression of
grave concern passed over the veteran's
face. " Yes," said the dying man, " there
is. I have not made one of my opportuni-
ties. I was in the war about four yaais, in
many battles, and thought I tried to do
my duty. But I never picked up a lighted
shell, with its burninglfuse sputtering close
to the shell, and threw it over the parapet
of the fort. I have been a regular attend-
ant upon army reunions, and have read the
newspapers sinco the war, and find that I
am the only man in the Union army who
has not performed that feat, although I had
plenty of opportunities. My life lias been
wasted." "But why," asked the pastor,
kindly, "did you not do it when you had
the opportunity?" " Because," said the old
soldier, "I wanted to save the shell. I al-
ways knelt down and pulled the fuse out
with my teeth." And then the noble life
went out with a snap like a friction primer.

A California editor thinks the republics
are ungrateful, and apparently he has rea
son. He says: " We wrote up a whole pa-
per of ' able articles ' about San Benito
county—left nothing to write about—print-
ed 50,000 copies, lost $275 on the venture,
knocked down a dirty, lying dog before we
could collect what we did get, broke our
fist on the scoundrelly cur's teeth,got blood
poisoning, had three doctors waiting on us,
and didn't get out of bed for three months."
Mrs. Rongword was in trouble about
something she had said, and a lady was
talking to her about it. " I don't think,"
sobbed Mrs. R., " that I ever made such a
remark." "I beg your pardon, my dear,"
replied her friend, " but I heard you say
it." "Well, perhaps I did, but if I did, it
was an ignuus fatuus, and I don't think I
ought to be blamed for it." [Washington

Took All His Paius Away.
A. M. Cliisholm, of No.2Y.i4 Stoddart street,
St. Louis, Mo., writes:
" During my long residence in Canada I suf-
fered for years from severe paint in my back,
across the reaion of the kidneys, and by ttio
constant use of Alloock'S Plasters invari-
ably obtained great relief. Upon removing to

Your bleed may be full of impurities, but
Hood's Sarsaparilla will thoroughly cleanse,
enrich, and vitalize it. The most severe eases
of scrofula, salt rheum, boils, pimples—in
fact all affections arising from impure blood,
yield to Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood
purifier. It also cures dyspepsia, biliousness,
sick headache, kidney and liver complaints,
sharpens the appetite, and builds up the whole
system.

Comparison Solicited.
A wise discrimination should be exercised by
all who take medicine. We solicit a carefut
comparison of Hood's Sarsaparilla with other
blcod purifiers and medielnos, and from oui*
knowledge of the keen observation of the pub-
lic we know that the
the superior merits
of Hood's Sarsaparilla are so apparent that tho
people will unhesitatingly prefer it to any
other preparation.
First. Compare tho clean, clear and beauti-
ful appearance of Hood's Sarsaparilla with the
muddy, giitty make up of other preparations.
Second. Compare the record of wonderful
cures, as shown by the testimonials we pub-
lish. Hood's Saisaparilla has accomplished
the most remarkable cures whore otlier prep-
arations have proved entirely inadu iuite to
give relief.
Third. Compare the dose and amount given ■
in Hood's Sarsaparilla with that given b / oth-
ers. A dollar bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla con-
tains an everage of more than 100 doses,
AND W ILL LAST A MONTH,
while others will average to last not over a
week. Hence on the simplo question of econ-
omy Hood's Sarsaparilla is given a decided
preference.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is not a mixture of mo3
lasses aud a few inert roots and herbs, but it la
a concentrated eitract of the best alterative
and blood-purifying remedlos ot tho vegetable
kingdom, skillfully combined and carefully
prepared. If you are suffering from any disease
or affection caused or promoted by Impure
blood or low state of the system, Hood's Sar-
saparilla Is the remedy to bring you relief.
