RUSSIA RESUMES
THE OFFENSIVE
Rome, Jan. 14. With every hour as
additional and more accurate details are
received, the horror of the earthquake of
yesterday increases, threatening to place
it second only to the Messina disaster of
1908. The list of dead, dying and in
jured increased by leaps and bounds to
more than 50,000, according to the offi
cial announcement to-day. This number
is expected to be increased before the day
is over,
The full extent of the property loss
has not yet been determined. Here in
Rome priceless statues, century-old build
ings and structures which have been the
mecca of visitors for years were de
stroyed or injured.
Though the loss of life and possibly
the amount of damage may be smaller
than in 1908, tbe area of the disturbance
greatly exceeds the Messina earthquake
and covers a belt estimated .about 300
miles long and extends practically from
one side of Italy to tbe other.
Rome, .Ian-14. Late reports from the
rone which suffered from yesterday's
earthquake, while still fragmentary, in
dicate an appalling loss of life and prop
erty. Estimates of the number killed
ranged late lat night as high as P2,00ti,
while the number of injured was placed
at 20,'xiO. Estimates this morning, how
ever, in the light of further information
from the stricken district, placed the
niiniUr killed and wounded together at
about ."iO.inki. Official reports received
from Avtv.r.ano declare the dead in that
city and vicinity to be more than 15,000.
The earthquake one. a far as can be
gathered here, extends a distance of
nearly .'Wl miles from below Naples in
the south to Fcrrarra in the north and
piactically across the entire width of
the country. The country to the east
and southeast of Koine suffered most.
Alexia mi. situated ti.'J miles east of
Koine, appears to hate been the renter
of the disturbance and this place, with
a number of nearby towns and villages,
is reported destroyed. Among the towns
reported destroyed are Hu-si. Cnpclle,

Russia has once more undertaken an
offensive movement against two of the
three nations he is fighting. After a
long period of inactivity her forces in
the north are attempting to penetrate
from two directions into east Prussia,
where Russia several mouths ago sus
tained one Of the most severe defeats
of the war. In the Caucasus the llus
siej forces are again engaged in heavy
fighting with the Turks who, according
(o official Petrograd advices," has sus
tained large Josses in recent encounters.
In (ialicia and Bukowina, where Pus-
dan activities are directed against Aus
tria, there is now little activity.
On the western Ttfittlefields the fight
ing in the region of Soissons has de
veloped into unexpectedly large propor
tions. Hoth the (Jermans and the allies
apparently have thrown in heavy rein
forcements and definite defeat for either
aide might result in reshaping the bat
tle line over a long spction of the front.

St. Johnsbury, Jan. 14. Fire to-day
destroyed the Grace .Methodist Kpiseopal
church structure, causing a loss of $40,-
000. The fire apparently atarW near
the furnace. A good insurance is carried
through local agencies, and it is thought
that the edifice will be rebuilt and in
more ample size than the old. It was
only a few years ago that the church
was partially burned and rebuilt. Rev.
George A. Martin is the present pastor
of the society.
The fire was one of the most spectacu
lar in St. Johnsbury for a long time, be
cause of the nature of the construction
of the building with a large bell tower.
There was grave apprehension lest this
tower fall on some of the neighboring
buildings, and the occupants of those
structures were ordered out until the
tower collapsed on itself after being par
tially burned. That was at 10:30 this
forenoon. Half an hour fa-fore the tower
fell, the supports of the bell were burned
away, and the bell jell with a great
crash. The fire was still burning this
afternoon, but the flames were under
control, after having been confined to the the managers much of their earning.

At Annual Meeting Last Evening Most
Encouraging Reports Were Given
and Members Were Enthusiastic.
A large number of ntcmliers, friends HoUSe Made Short Work To-
mid adherents ol the Presbyterian church
gathered in the vestry of the church last
evening to transact the business of the
year just passed nnd to hear tho reports
of the several societies connected with
the work of the church. After having
heard the reports, members could riot
help feeling gratified over the. splendid
showing the church had made the past
year, in spite of the. fact that during a
period in the summer months they were
without a regular pastor. Gains were
noticeable in every department, not mere
ly in membership but financially as well.
From facts given by Rev. Edgar Cross
land, the pastor, he. together with the
former pastor. Rev. 1). Salmond, officiated
at nine marriages, seven baptisms, five
funerals (since the new pastor took up
his duties) and during the year 18 new
members were taken into the fellowship
of the church. Mr. ( rossland has taken
a good hold of the work and when the
present year's work is completed even
better statistics than the above are ex
pected. The pastor finds a very large
pastoral work here and he realizes the
necessity of keeping at it for the future
welfare of the church.
From the treasurer came a most grati
fying report of the finances of the church.
Great gains were made to meet the larg
er expenditures incurred in the work of
getting a new pastor and the upkeep of
the manse. Perhaps one of the most
pleasing reports made was that of the
Sunday school. This body is now a self
sustaining organization and for the year
ending Dec. 31, MM, a balance of over
f.V) remains in tbe treasury to begin the
new year. The school also kept up a
remarkable attendance during tho year
and the average for the entire year was
154.
The ladies' aid society of the church
showed an excellent report and their help
during the year was very noticeable.
Tliey are worthy of much commendation
for the-good work they are doing. From
the ladies' auxiliary also came a splendid
report; they were able to turn over to
on the same property was saved. On
nearby lots were the new St. Johnsbury
house, the (loss garage, the Colonial the
atre and a business block containing
stores and the office of the Western
Union Telegraph company. The church
was located on Central street.
The fire as discovered at fl o'clock
and was breaking out of the vestry at
that hour. The flames had made jnuch
progress, and it was impossible to save
the structure, although the firemen
worked hard. There was a midweek
meeting in the structure last evening,
and it is thought probable that the fur
nace became overheated during the
night, setting fire to some of tho timlxTs.
There are theories of defective wiring,
too, but those theories are not generally
held. The building Was of wood, with
slate roof, aud was the second largest
church in town.

Three bills were introduced in the

Speaker Weeks announced at the open
ing of the House yesterday afternoon
that investigation of the House journal
of the last session disclosed the fact that
on the 8th, the beginning of the second

sion, when til bills have been introduce!!

While hurrying to catch a train for
St. Johnsbury, Judge James L. Martin
of the I'nited States court for the dis
trict of Vermont, dropped dead on the
platform of the Montpelier & Wells Riv
er railroad at Montpelier this morning.
tie nact made the. mistake of going to the
Central Vermont railroad station in the
expectation that his train would start
there and learned of his error just, in
time to board a street car on State street
which would earrv him through the citv
to the other station. Leaving the streeo
car at the corner of Barre and Main
streets he hurried to the Montpelier &,
Hells Kiver station only a few feet away
and had barely reached the platform
when lie toppled over backward.
Dr. V illiain Lindsay and Dr. ,T. R.
Dewey were soon summoned, but their
services were of no avail, as Judge Mar
tin had expired. A weakness of the
icart aggravated bv the exertion and ex
citement due to tlie hurried trip between
the two stations was the cause his
leath.
fudge Martin came to Montpelier sev
eral days ago in making his customary
rounds of the state for the purpose of
holding court for granting citizenship;
and he had intended to take 'the 8:10
train for St. Johnsbury this morning.
Other court attaches were at the station,
including Clerk F. S. Piatt of the I'nited
States court, and when Judge Martin did
not arrive there was considerable specu
lation over his non-appearancp, as al
ready related. The attaches of the court
were waiting on the platform, but non
ot thpm was near enough to catch him
as he fell.
James loren Martin's residence was in
Brattleboro. He was born in the town
of Landgrovp.. Sept. 11. 1846. the fourtn
son of James and Lucy (Gray) Martin.
He lived on a farm until 14 years of age,
when he started out for himself. In or
der to go to school be worked at odd job
on farms and in factories and thus went
through the public schools, after which
he entered South Londonderry academy.
Ijiter he attended the academy at Mai
low, X. JL, and on finishing a course
there he became a teacher in that insti
tution. Hi teaching experience also ex
tended over a period of six years in Lon
donderry and Winhall, this state.
At the age of 21 Judge Martin began
the study of law in the office of Judgo

following year sttcndisl the law school
