Priests and Attendants Refuse to Leave Their Treasures--Sailor Shot a Looter Dead--Refugees in Messina Frequently Attack: ed. By Ravénous Dogs. Messina, Jan. 7.--Dogs now consti- tute one of the angers to the earth quake refugees. These animals, starv- ing and often rabid through lack of water, gnaw the corpses like hyenas, and frequently attack the refugees themselves. The dogs are being Hot on sight, Great Wealth Lies In Ruins. Messina, Jan. 7, -- The treasures which lie beneath the ruins at Messina must' amount 10 an enormous sum. Pillage and theft during the first days were indulged in to a considerable ex- tent, and, unfortunately, are still go- ing on. Jie man was shot dead by a sailor with a revolver as he was taking a valuable ring from the fihger of one of the dead in the nave of the ruined cathedral. He had been found to have left off his prison attire, thus showing that prisoners who had escaped from the jails had evidently gone to the TEARFUL TI --i WANTS $60,000. Girl cathedral and amid the ruins changed their attire. The treasures contained in the ca- | thedral have disappeared, but enorm- | ous wealth, nevertheless, has been re covered. The Commercial bank saved 20,000,000 lire, and the fire at the depot of the Bank of Italy has now been got in hand. A priest and his attendant who were found alive amid the ruins of their presbytery declined to: leave. They preferred to remain in this dangero situation, as beneath the ruins were hidden treasures. They told the rves- cuers life was not worth living with- out their wealth. Notwithstanding such cases the ten- dency of 'life is certainly uppermost. To realize this it only suffices to visit the impoverished village which = has sprung up near the station and where life may be seen palpitating amid the stench which arises from the bodies in the town. Women look out at the country, children are at play out doors, tables are laid. Food not wanting. Indeed, those who havé about decided to' quit Messina forever are celebrating their. departure by a final supper. is Bank Securities Saved. Rome, Jan. 7.--Earthquakes con- tinue at Messina.

Disappearance of the Fabre -Neustria, Talifax, Jan. 7.~One hundred and fifty lives have been lost on the North Atlantic during the past two months, Four vessels have mysterious- ly disappeared, eairyving 7122 'men down with them, while four or five minor disasters swell the total num- ber to the century and a hali mark. With two exceptions all these disas- ters happened to vessels on the Can- adian, Newfoundland or St. Pierre coasts, or to vessels bound thither. Four steamers, three schooners, one barque and one barge have'contribut- ed to the death roll. In point of loss of life, the worst casualty in that period was the dis- appearance of the Fabre liner, Neus- trina. Since leaving New York for Marseilles on Oetober 27th, nothing has been heard of this steamer or for- ty-seven men who manned her. A French cruiser is now scouring the Atlantic in sear¢h of the long-over- due vessel, but all hope of finding her has been practically abandoned. Liner Distant Places SIBLE FORM. and Remembered.
