VOL. IV. iiiis Two Terrific Quakes Felt Inhabitants In Panic Mother Dashes For Her Babe And Dies With It In Her Arms jfessina. By Cable. Messina ex perienced two terrifie earthquakes at jbout 7:3 o'clock Thursday morn ing, which were accompanied by roaring sounds and are said to have jud a stronger and more undulatory movement than the earthquake of last Pwer.iber which destroyed Mes sina, Reiririo and other cities, laid waste to ninny villages in Calabria ,nd killed 200.000 people. Although the shocks Thursday had no such terrible; consequences the 25,000 rosideuts of this eity -were thrown into a state of terror. They Ruinto the streets panic striken and Thursday night nearly the entire pop ulation was encamped in the open. fit? broken walls of the old rains were thrown to the ground and Mes sina was for a few minutes smother ed in a cloud of dust. The casualties were few and the only persons killed, so far as is known, were a young woman and her infant. The woman had come here only a few days ago and had settled in rcoms, which the great earthquake had left relatively un damaged.

Meyer drill grounds time after time in hi aerupla: . in three successful flights while a crowd of thousands cheered him for the success that attended his persistency and pluck. While the ma chine oscillated at certain points in its flights and dipped and rose sud denly at other points, it was evident from :he regularity with which these things happened that they were due to the condition of the atmosphere and n t to any fault of the maehine. For the first flight the machine got away with a fine start. Down the field the aeroplane sailed, curved gracefully and came back up the east side cf the field along the edge of Arlington Cemetery. The machine awmed to be behaving beautifully. Tbe irst round was made in fifty sec -onds. Five times the machines skirt ed the field, aft varied from 15 to 30 fet.. On the sixth round Mr. Wright came to earth within a few hnndrpH feet of the starting mint. vmr1ptiny 0 i f landing was perfect, the machine swooping down in successive glides nntil Orville pulled the string, which stops his motor and the aeroplane glided smoothly over the grass on its skids nntil it came to a stop. The ma chine was returned to the starting ap paratus and again was placed in posi tion and another flight was essayed. COMMISSION DECIDES ADVERSELY IN BISHOPS' CASE Washington, Special. The Inter state Commerce Commission has de cided adversely in the matter-of the complaints filed before them by five bish. pj of tbe African Methodist Episcopal Church, who claimed that they had been the victims of discrim 'iiat'.on while passengers on Southern railri ads.

Light ning struck the house of Johnson Collins last Wednesday, four miles east of Flintstone, while Mr. and Mrs. Collins, their six children and Mrs. Johnson, a neighbor, were in the kitchen.

When Mr. Collins recovered from the shock he found his wife and the youngest MAY BE THE BODY OF ELSIE SIGEL'S MURDERER New York, Special Although com 11?p identification was impossible as ye:, there appears to be a sfroug probability that the body of a China man. whieh was found floating in the U 'dson xveT m tne npperpart of the e''y Thursday evening, was that of J c i: Ling or William L.

J3e fore $he could escape from the room the second shock, threw down the walls, burying both motter and child under the debris. Soldiers and en gineers who rushed to the rescue heard the voice of the mother call ing for help and they worked fwroie- ally for several hours, when they fpund the dead bodies, the mother with her child in her arms. The first shock was followed quick ly by a second and the people fled pell men to. the American quarter, which they seemed to feel was the safest place of refuge. So great was the rush to the American huts that the authorities were unable to check the invasion and as a consequence these structures, which were design ed for the most needy of the popu lace, were taken possession of by the first comers. The soldiers, however, soon drew a cordon - around this quarter and a guard was mounted at the bridge leading to it. Many of the panic stricken people were driven off and orders were issued that no one be permitted to occupy the American quarter pending further instructions. The start, was as successful as the first. . In the second flight Orville made much wider turns and rose to a greater height. Wilbur Wright watehed every detail of the flight with care. It was noticed that at times the motor skipped, but this seemed to have no effect on the progress of the aeroplane, Tne starting rail runs downward into a little hollow in the field and whenever the aeroplane passed over this hollow it dipped no ticeably and whenever it passed over a vacant space between two of the stables, it. was seen to rise as though on billow of air, but these atmos pheric conditions were easily over come by the clever manipulation of the levers. On his second flight, Or ville made nine rounds of the field in a lew seconds less tnan eight min utes. " ' In his last attempt he remained aloft for a few seconds more than-f nine minutes and encircled the field nine and one half times. For one complete round he flew very elose to the ground, evidently preparing to land. This he did within two hun dred feet of the aeroplane shed. Dur ing this last flight he went higher than on his previous trials, reaching a height of forty feet. Just, before making his landing the left wing scraped the ground and raised eloud of dust, but Mr. YVngnt con tinued to fly half way around the field before descending. and Potomac, the Southern and the Central Railway of Georgia. The eomplamants were Bishops Wesley J. Gaines, H. M. Turner, Evans Tyree, C. S. Smith and E. W. Brampton.

If it is Leon the cause of his death will be another mystery although one theory, that of suieide, would appear reasonable. In salient features the body bore a marked- resemblance to Leon ling. The teeth were good, as were Leon's, the height about fi feet 4 incites, which was Leon's height, and the weight 125 pounds, which was about Leon 's.

Wednesday at 9 H5 ?from Virgilina, Va., where Charles Carroll, a Durham rtough) is Dacuy wanted ror various ana sun dry deviltries. Carroll has been elud ing the officers here, for the past three years. His worst , offease is burglary, breaking into a house and stealing $16. He has stolen chickens enough to make the most approved colored thief everlastingly jealous and has made blockade liquor of cheap chemicals and general cussed ness to pollute every stream in the county. He has always managed to escape when in trouble, but was shot once by Deputy -Belvin when he was chased by the Durham man. When eaptured Carroll made a break, but was shot down and was brought to Deriiston, Va., on a cot. - The Dur ham officers met him there and brought him here. His pal escaped, but bloodhounds were put on his track and he is expected to be bag ged. Carroll, in person, is the least pretty of men. He is 6 feet, 8 inches with-the most elongated legs. He has the reputation of being able to out run a horse, has been frequently known to catch a rabbit and in a foot race against Deputy Berrin is the only man who has ever distanced him. It was in one of these chases that caused Captain Belvin to shoot at him and injure him in the hand. There are so many charges against this fellow that nobody knows which one he must face first. He will doubtless be given a hearing on the count for burglary. The Current Turned On at the San- ford Mills.

Subject i Paul's Second Missionary " J ourney The Phillppian Jailer, Act 16: 160 Golden Text, Acjs 16:31 Commit Vs. 29-31. TIME. A. D. 52. PLACE. Phil lppl. EXPOSITION. I. A Midnight Prayer and Praise Service in Jail, 25, 28. This is one of the most Inspiring and instructive prayer and praise ser vices on record. (1) The circum stances in a dark hole, with torn and bleeding and aching backs, and with a very dark outlook for th mor row. A gotd time to pray (Ps. 5 if? 15; comp. Jas. 5:13). But it might seem a strange time to sing praises (Luke 6:22, 23, ch. 6:41; Ro. 6 3; Phil, 2:17; 1 Pet. 14:4; Eph. 5:20). Sorrows and aches taken in that way become sweet friends. (2) Thv. tiiie midnight. There is no.bettsr timeH for a prayer and praise meeting. It might seem as if Paul and Silas would have been better employed sleeping and getting, strength for the next day's trials. But strength can often be better gained by prayer than by sleep. (8) The result "a great earthquake," "foundations of the pri son shaken," "every one's bands loosed," tne Jailor and his whole household converted and rejoicing. This land needs a moral earthquake. Let us i,ray for "it. There are many f prisoners who need to have their bands loosed Let ur pray fr that. There is great heed of the converslm of whole households. Let us pray for this also. Paul would never have gotten & hearing from those prisoners had ho not himself been cast Into prl Bon. They were doubtless a hard ened crowd, more used to profanity and blasphemy than to prayer and songs of praise. II. The Jailor at Philippi Suddenly and Thoroughly Converted, 27-31. In a moment the brutal jailir becomes an anxious inquirer. He asked a great question. A question every man shoultf ask. - Note why the Jail jr asked It. how he asked it, from whom he asked it (1) Why: Because lie was lost and had been brought to see it and feel it. The jailor had not been listening with the prisoners as" Paul and Silas prayed and. sung. - Ho had been fast asleep. But God wpke him up. It is a great thing to have God wake tis 11 n. He had been rbrought face to face with death. He had been brought face to face with two holy men. He had been brought face ty face with God, and he saw himself utterly lost, as any sane man Bees himself when brought face to face with eternity and God. 12) Howl In deep earnestness. None of the trifling and shallowness charac teristic of so many modern Inquiry- ro.ms" here "trembling for fear. fell down." Men who ask this ques tion, In this spirit, will soon be rejoic ing- as this Jailor: was. (8) From whom: From men who knew the an swer; from men who knew God's Word (v. 32) J from men who were saved themselves. A gieat answer to the great Question. But a very Sim pin answer. What Is it to believe- on the Lord Jesus? To "receive Him' or take Him (Jno. 1:12). Take Him as our Saviour who died in our place (Isa. 53.6; 1 Pet. 2.24; Gal. 3:13). Take Him as the One who rose again to be our Lord and King, aud tc de liver us from sin s power (Acts 2:36; Heb. 7:25). Again it is to commit ourselves and all that we have to Him (2 Tim.. 1:12). Cast yourself upon Him, surrender absolutely to Him, leave all with Him. that is tbe step that saves a man. But Paul and Silas did not stop with merely telling the jailer to believe on the Lo-d Jesus, they ' Spake the Word" unto blm (Rom. 10.17; comp. Jno. 20:31). Here is where many workers make a mistake. They rightly tell people to 'believe," but they do not give them the word about Christ Crucified and risen to enable them to believe. It docs not take long to get a man saved If he is in earnest. This Jailor seemed a hard case. He was brutal, he was indifferent, he was utterly ignorant. But in an hour (v. 33) he had passed out of suicidal despair into the rejoic ing, gentleness and abounding hspf- tality of a baptized believer in unrist. Surely there is LOthing about the way of salvation that it takes long to tell or long to learn. One hour is suffi cient for the whole business.- Note the results of genuine cenversion: (1) Transformation from brutality to ten der compassion. (2) Open and im mediate confession of Christ in bap tism. (3) Great joy (R. V.). (4) Generous hospitality. (5) A trans formed home. 1H. Paul and Silas Released From Jail, 33-40. Iu tht morning the mag istrates were frightened. They no longer wished t" punish Paul and Si las, but to get rid of them as quickly as poos'ble. The earthquake had set tbem thinking. But they were not to get rid of Paul as easily as they thou eh t. He was a Roman citizen and they had beaten him publicly and uncondemned. This was a serlousof fense. They had beaten him publicly and now they must justify him as publicly. Their former severity changes into utter obsequiesness. They came and they besought and they brought and they begged. They did hot hasten their departure from the city. They comforted the young dis ciples before they left. Their impri sonment had turned -out to their honor and to the glory of God (ef. Rom. 8:28). The officials were very foolish. They ought to have begged Paul to stay instead of to have gone. . Judge Overrules Motion. Asheville, N. C, Special.
