St. PotorsUurg, January 2, Special: Father John, of Cronstadt, is (load. Tho most powerful priest in all Russia had for some timo been suffering from chronic dropsy and intestinal complaints, and the end. though suddun, was not unexpected.
father John was born November 30. 1S29. After graduation at the St. Petersburg Seminary, he became a priest of the Andrew church at Cronstadt. where his zeal and devotion drew about him hosts of followers and attracted the attention of the Emperor, who constantly befriended him. A pilgrimage of the present Empress to the shrine of St. Seraphin, which among pious Russians was believed to have been responsible for tho birth of the desired heir to the throne, was undertaken on Father John's advlco. Tho late years of Father John's life were clouded by the ill reimte of the sect of Johnites. which was exploited by an unscrupulous and Im-, moral group of men and women to" their great financial advantage, Tha priest's eyes were opened to this only last summer, when he anathematized the false leadors. Father John's full name was Ivan Sergleft Cronstadsky. For over twenty years he had boon a man of tremendous influence, and hau" been encouraged by the government on account of his powerful support of the autocracy and the maintenance of orthodoxy in the church. This government influence enabled him to gather around him a great following of lesser
priests and others who exploited his cures and gathered in Immense sums from those believing themselves cured and those wishing to be cured. A church was built for Father John and in it he practically spent the last ten years of his life. Great crowds flocked to his church, especially at times of feast days of the Greek church, and Father John pray od for
their recovery' or blessed those who soupht other good things in life be
sides enlth.
When the illness of Alexander III.
father of tho present Czar, was pro
nounced serious in 1&S4, Father John was sent for to attend the monarch
and pray for his recoverv. Notwlth
standing the fact that the Czar died a short time afterward. Father John
continued to enjoy bis reputation as a
worker of miracles. The present Czar summoned Father John to Tsarkoe-
Selo on at least one occasion and ask
ed for his prayer and frequently
grand dukes and others high In the
Russian nobility have paid him great
sums for attendance.

Special: As-sorting that she had deliberately perjured herself for the defense and. conscience-stricken, desired to tell the truth, Mrs. Wad Morris, wife of ono of the self-confessed Night Riders, asked to be recalled. Wad Morris swore he was present when Captain Ranken was killed and recognized some of the defendants. Mrs, Morris, his wife, went on the stand and Impeached her husband's testimony by swearing that he was at home the night Captain Ranken was murdered. She left the stand polo and trembling, went Into the corridor and sent for the attorney-general. "I have done a great wrong." she said. "I have told a Ha My husband was not at home that night Ho was with tho riders, I was forced by my relatives to testify as did. I want to see my husband."

stroyed most of the human habitations on the Island of Sicily and in tho department of Calabria. Italy. Monday. It is believed to be the greatest disaster of modem times. Reports all tend to confirm tho statement that the catastrophe possibly will equal that which occurrod in 1783, when lo.OOO perished at Messina. Thousands are believod to have been killed In other places. According to late advices the city of Messina, in Sicily, was terribly damaged by tho first shock at 6 o'clock, and later throo-fourths of tho town practically was swept from the earth by a vast wave from the sea. Few living things escaped from the inundation. Calabrinn towns, Palmi, Reggio, Scilla, and Bngnara are reported to have been destroyed entlroly, being now merely masses of ruins. Many hundreds of persons were killed or injured In each place. It Is reported that Reggio met tho same fate as Messina. Mount Aotnn seoms to have boon the center of the disturbance and that portion of Sicily within a radius of forty miles seems to have been laid waste. It is not known whether tho volcano is in action, as that section of the Island Is completely cut off from the world, even tho railroads of tho entire eustern half of Sicily being destroyed. The region devastated Is subject to earthquakes and probably 250,000 persons have been killed by these phenomena In Sicily and Calabria in tho. last three centuries. Vandalism of the worst kind häsT broken out, and the government has adopted the most energei. una most severe measures for its repression. Robbers and lootors are shot on sight. The prison at Messina collapsed. Some of the prisoners were killed, but the survivors made their escape and: Joined the hooligans who wore sacking: the city. Such confusion reigned that the robbers met with no resistance. The local chief of police was killed in his oifice. The robbers pillaged the ruins of the sliattered buildings and even stole clothing and valuables from tho corpses of tho victims. They were not deterred by the flames that broke out In several sections of Messina, but took advantage of tho light for their vandalism. Tho night In Messina was
Rome, Cable: Belching volcanoes and additional earthquakes are following the appalling story of disaster lud death on the island of Sicily. Rumblings are reported from Vesuvius and Etna and fears are entertained that both volcanoes will break out in violent eruptions at any moment. Reports still reach here of the continuance of earth shocks, some of which are of sufliclent force to do further great damages. According to these reports new shocks at Pellaro precipitated the entire population into the sea. including both the dead and tho living victims of the first quake. There was a strong earthquake at Caltagirone in the southeastern part of Sicily, followed by a rumbling noise. Many houses collapsed. In

and Calabrians in many places. True.
