At that hour the majority yt the- people of tho upper classes were at' the theater. Nearly ail of the houses in th* town collapsed. it ia estimated that 1,000 persons were killed and 890 injured.

Thehoepitals are'already filled with suffferfers. Wc'r 8,00# DBAD. *It is impossible to give the number of dead at Oasamicciola. In the latest ac coualb the Dumber is estimated at 3,S00, The Hotel Peociola Sentinella sank into the earth and waa buried with many iamates. Some of the inhabitants of the town escaped to sea at the first shock, and made their way toN aples with news of tba calamity. The center #f the area of the shock was the same as that of two y«ars ago, but the radius of ths underahosk was felt at sea, and according to gome accounts, even at Xaplns. A gentleman who was staying at the Hetel Pecciola Sentinella, and who escaped with his life, lelates that h« had only time to secure some candles for use in tbe darkness Ot the ruins before the col* lapse of the buildings. A person wbo lived near the now ruined bathing establishment says he escaped from tie place amid falling walls and balconies, the terrified people shouting

THK GROUND OPENED 13? MAITT PLACES, while in other places there was n» movement. Water gushed out in springs, and several boilers in the bathing-house burst. The theater, a \roodeu structure, was literally torn open, allowing the audience to escape.

At Lacoo there are many dead and wounded. At Fario the churohos wore ruined, but no on* killed. At Serrara fifteen were killed. Troops recovered the body of Florentiao, prefect oi Eassarl.

All steamers plying between Isokia and the main land wore imwodiat»ly chartered by the government to bring the woanded from tho island.

The excitementin Italy may be imagined from the fact that 2.000 visitors Vera in Ischia, including wealthy Romaa and Neapolitan families and several deputies, taking^aths there. None of tho deputies, so far a^nowB,perishod, and it is hoped all escaped. An English chaplain lost one ohild. A Mr. Green and wife are among the killed at tho hotol Piccola.

SPEEDT ASSISTANCE.

Later telegrams state that

hotels at Casamicciola are wrecked. The

Minister of Public Works and the prefect of Naples, with a large force ef solr diers will work to make the ruins secure, and will engage in the search for the wounded. A number of physicians have gone to attend the injured, their aid being urgently needed.

The stories told by survivors are horrible. Many Romans baring villas at ischia are known to have been lo6t. The dead are fearfully mitilated in some cases the corpses are plainlv discernable through the ruins, but they cannot be extricated. It is surmised that some persons are still alive in tse cellars.

A correspondent telograps this afternoon that, judging from the reports already at hand, the calamity will infinitely exceed the Chios earthqeake ia 1881. The syndic of Casamiaciola telegraphs as follows: "The shoekcanae with irresistible violence, and was accompanied by a deafening noise. The confusion in the theater was fearful.

CHARLEY WEIR AT THE KEY.

An .Operator Whose Powers Astonished a Small Coentry OfficeIt was at the close of the war, 1864, writes a correspondent in the Titusville (Pa.) Werld, that a party of us, consisting of thirteen tramp operators, resolved to take in the different cities, and whoever could not get work was to be boarded by the rest. Well, we had in our party Charley Weir, now superintendent of the Adams Express company at Cincinnati, O., considered tobe tbe most perfect operator in the business, ewing to his great memory. He could store fifty wards in his memory, and write it out at bisliespre word for word. Well, we arrived in Buffalo, and not a man had the price &f & oeer Our only salvation was in striking some friendly operators. Charley made a motioh that he should make the attack,a*d the balance hold up the rear. It appears the Buffalo office had.a a great reputation for catching all the operators applying for work by putting tkem down to taking newspaper reports, which ia very last work. And Charley, pulling his hat down over his eyes, and stumbling over a chair with an intoxicated smile, says: "Hie, I want a job." The manager, winking to one oi the chiefs as a signal for him to inlorm New York sending reports to slide it in, turns and says: "Well, can you copy report?" "I reckon I can—hie," says Charley, and the manager ushered him over to the report table. Charley took the eh air, and, closing the key, he informed the New York operator to proceed. The manager got all the men in tbe office to come and witness the sport He then found Charley looking for a pencil, and New York sending at lightning speed: The boys all began to laugh, and reaching over stopped New-York sending, whereupon Charley again closed the key ana told hiss to proceed where he left off, and, snatching a stub of a pencil from one tof

the* operators, he ffew

aeroasthe sheet with lightning speed, ahd in less than twa minutes had caught upon his copy, although sixty werde had been sent. Well, you just ought to have seen those fellews look at him. New York man increased his speed until he was tired out, and then stopped to ask if Charley was getting on at all. Charley asked him if he couldn't send faster. The manager says: "Say, old fellow, who are you. anyhow?" "Why, my nafae is Charley Weir." "They had, o! course, all heard of Charley, and a more ashamed crowd you never saw. They acknowledged the joke, and the manager says: '*Mr.'jfeir, just wait a few momeats and we will go and take something." "Oh, thanks," said Charley, "bjut I !a\te a friend or two outside." "Ask them in, to be sure," says the manager.

Walking to the doo* Charley gave a whistle, and in walked twelve American travelers.

We were given as fine a supper as ever Queen Victoria relished, at the Terrapin, corner Terrace and Main streets, and a better time I never had.

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, July 31st.—Later about the killing of James Ca that he was shot while landing f^flt the Melrose, at Port Elizabeth. O'Donnell, his slayer, is in custody. The government had taken special and expensive measures to protect Carey.

It appears that O'Donnell followed Carey from London. Both men sailed in the steamer Kiufaun's Castle.

The Daily Telegraph says the government have little doubt that Carey was followed from Dublin. They belfeve that the Fenians had taken the most'elaborate measures to prevent his escape. Accdrding to the latest accounts, the murdtr ooourred at sea. Carey waa not kj&ed outright but died shortly after-

Kurreadoced himself

quietly. He was placed in irons and handed over to the police when the Melrose arrived at Port Elizabeth.

Carey WAS traveling under the name of Power. His family were with .him. Carey embarked at Dartmouth. From Madeira he wrote a letter to the authorities, in whioh he described the voyage, and«aidhehad shared in oenveraation in which the Invinoibles and the miscreant Carey were especially denounced. He said he intended to forget Ireland. *'THH NEWS IK DUBLIN.

DUBLIN, July 31st.—A large orowd gathered in front of James Carey's late residence, eheering loudly because the informer had been killed. The Dublia authorities believe O'Donnell is a man who was implicated, three years ago, in the attempt to blow up the Mansion House in London, and who escaped with Coleman to New York. The government selected Africa as the safest place for Carey. It is doubtful whether he knew his destination before sailing. It was not revealed to the police who took him from Dublin to London.

CAREY'S MURDERER.

LONDON, July 31.—O'Donnell, who shot James Carey, informer, was accompanied from England by his wife who appeared to be on intimate terms with the Carey family during the voyage. The Times pronounces the death of Carey to be a public misfortune and says he has been the instrument of justice. The murder is calculated toenoourage daring and lawlesa^spirits to commit acts of violenee. Theljoy caused in Ireland by the informer's death is proof that many elements of revenge still exist there.

O'DonneH enjoyed his passage on the steamgMunfaun Castle, on July 25th. Heji^HK did not know that Mr. Power, wifP^pp^seven children were James Carey and family until after the passage was taken. It is reported that an infernal machine was found in O'Donnell's possession.

James Qarey KIIFeB^u.

LONDON, Jaly 30.—Intelligence has just been received here that James Carey, the Informer in the Phoenix Park murder cases, was shot dead yesterday on the steamship Melraae while she was between Capetown and'Port Elizabeth. Tbe deed was committed by a fellow passenger named O'Doanell.

"In 1880 there was an eminent propriety and a strong call in the publie mind for the re-nomination of the old ticket. The Democracy of Indiana, whether wisely or unwisely it is nol worth while now to discuss,prevented that result. Tho old ticket could not be made up again bedause Governor Hendricks refused to take his old place on it. His friends stood by him, and none more firmly than I. Now the situation is differest. Mr. Tilden is not and will not be a candidate. I have sufficient knowledge to be content on this point, and these who think otherwise have only to wait and they will find what I say amply vetifled. Mr. Tilden is a very able man, and has a strong bold on the Democratic party, but at his time of life and in his physical condition he cannot undertake

There was a great deal of pressure at one time to induce him to allow the use of his name before the convention To my personal knowledge he did not tolerate the ilea a moment.

McDonald, like the honorable man that he is decided that question for himself by declaring that he was there with a trust in his hands, and that trust should not be defeated by the use of his own name.

In fact, I have been in eleven different states this spring and summer, and I have been surprised at the strong and almost universal expression in Mc Donald's favor.
