Quake Rocks Big Territory. In Ottawa People Ran From Homes Panic-Stricken, While Buildings’ Rocked and Furniture Overturned. Points as far north as Montreal and as far south as Philadelphia felt dis- tinct earthquake shocks of varying in- tensity on Tuesday afternoon. Indications were that the entire northeastern section of the United States was in the zone of tremors. At no point included in the first reports was serious damage done. In New York state the tremors were recorded in New York city, Albany, Elmira, Rome, Syracuse and other points. In Canada shocks were felt at | Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Prescott, Brockville and other places. One life was lost as a result of the earthquake at Binghamton, N. Y. The tremors caused a cave-in of a trench : four feet deep in the basement of the ‘Walley building, and Rocco Parso, a laborer, was killed. The shocks seemed severest in Can- | ada. A man was hurt in Montreal by being thrown from a wagon when his horse was frightened by bricks and boards falling from the top of a build- ing. In Verdune, - a suburb of Montreal, | hundreds of persons rushed from their homes in panic. The mayor of Ver- dune said that it sounded as if “a five- ton truck was being pulled through the streets at high speed.” In the parliament building at Otta- wa pictures were shaken from the walls, tables and desks were over- turned, and buildings rocked upon their foundations. Members of parlia- ment ran bareheaded into the streets. Telephone poles were shaken down on the outskirts of the city and telephone communication with some districts was interrupted. Residents of the out- skirts were panic-stricken and fled from their homes into the open fields. Several buildings in Brooklyn, in- cluding borough hall and the court house, were shaken. Tenants in New York’s highest buildings—the Wool- worth and Singer—said that they felt no tremors whatever. Syracuse was thrown into a panic when there was a distinct trembling of the earth lasting about fifteen sec- onds. Desks in downtown offices shook. The tremors seemed to go east and west. In the residential dis- tricts tie shock was quite severe, and in some places plants and dishes were tumbled down. In Ogdensburg buildings shook per- ceptibly, and some chimneys fell. Tel- ephone ‘girls fled from their switch- boards. In some homes furniture was overturned and dishes thrown from the tables. The tremors lasted thirty seconds. A severe shock was felt in Rome and throughout that section of Oneida county. Dishes shook on their shelves and type in the newspaper offices moved on the galleys. Couple Slain In Motor Car. In a lonely section oI country be- tween Latrobe and Ligonier, Pa., the bodies of Anna Lutz, sixteen years of age, and John McFadden, twenty years old, both of Greensburg, were found in an automobile. The girl had been shot twice in the left temple and McFadden was shot in the right temple. The motor of the car was still running when the bodies were found. Mystery shrouded the tragedy until a letter from McFadden to another girl was found, showing that he was infatuated with both and had evidently promised to marry one of them. So he cut love's gordian knot by killing one of his swethearts and himself. “I'm in Latrobe and going over the mountains. You'll never see me again,” was the message which McFadden tel- ephoned to his employer, Elmer Tur | ner, manager of the Standard Garage. He hung up the receiver. Turner sent fe out other employes to find the chauf-! feur. They overtook the machine stand-| ing on top of a knoll, to the right of | the road, with the engine still going. Both Miss Lutz and McFadden were | sitting upright in the front seat of the! machine. Miss Lutz had been shot twice in. the left temple and had evidently died | instantly. There had apparently been | no struggle, and it is thought that Mc- Fadden shot the girl without her Sus- | pecting what he was going to do. He then fired a bullet into his own right | temple. The revolver was found lying between the young couple, with three empty chambers. i Brother of Louis Sherry Nearly Caus- ed Lad’s Death In Park. Frank Sherry, a brother of Louis Sherry, the New York restaurant owner, was sentenced to serve ten days in the Tombs for having pushed Jack Dayton, nine years old, into a lake in Central park. The Dayton child, accompanied by his nurse, brushed against Sherry, and the latter pushed the boy into the wa- ter. A policeman saved the boy from drowning. Find Entombed Miners Dead. The bodies of Michael Deffis and his laborer, entombed in a breast at the No. 4 colliery of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company, in Potts- ville, Pa., were found lying side by glide by the big force of rescuers that had worked in relays since Tuesday afternoon in the hope that they might be round alive.

With the mother and sister of his slain wife staring at him, ready to challenge any false statement that he might make, Charles J. Manning was subjected to a constant fire of ques- tions for two hours by the Newark, N. J., police, seeking to determine to just what extent, if any, he is respon- sible for the slaying of his wife. Detectives are following clues ob- tained from a letter which was written by Hazel Herdman before she swal- lowed bichloride of mercury. The let- ter was found in the girl’s clothing in the hospital after she died. “] killed her becase she wouldn't give him up. I loved him, and with her out of the way we could have married and given our child an hon- orable name.” Efforts to persuade the woman to divorce the man and make the way clear for the new union had proved unavailing, the young woman averred, and there was no way for her but to resort to the pistol. Miss Hazel Herdman cleared away the mysterious murder of Mrs. Har- riet Manning in her home in Newark on Friday night. The young woman exonerated Man- ning from any part in the murder. She said that he was horrified and shocked when she told him what she had done. The killing of Mrs. Manning was like a chapter out of a “best seller.” Mrs. Manning was in the Kitchen, washing. Mrs. Cobb, her mother, was returning from the yard with an arm- ful of wood, and Mrs. Riley, a sister, was preparing supper. The doorbell rang and Mrs. Cobb answered. A tall woman, dressed all in black, with a gray raincoat thrown loosely over her shoulders, stood in the doorway. A heavy crape veil, which hid her face, was draped over a black hat. In one hand the woman held a black silk um- brella. Her other hand she kept in a pocket of her raincoat. “Is Mrs. Manning in?” the visitor asked in a low voice, which did not enable Mrs. Cobb to determine wheth- er the caller was a man dressed in woman’s clothes or a woman, as her dress seemed to indicate. “Yes, she is in,” replied Mrs. Cobb. “Who shall I say is calling on her?” “Just say that an old friend from Philadelphia would like to talk with her for a few minutes,” the visitor re- plied. Mrs. Cobb ushered the veiled stran- ger into the parlor. She then called : Mrs. Manning. Mrs. Manning came in from the kitchen and entered the room. The parlor was dark, and Mrs. Manning as she started to light the gas, was over- heard to remark: “Who is it that wants to see me?” The visitor was heard to whisper something in reply, and immediately ! thereafter a pistol shot followed. Be- | fore Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Riley could ! rush into the room there came a sec- ; ond shot. They saw the stranger in a corner of the room, with the pistol | still in her hand. She fired one more shot at them, but it missed, and she fled from the house. Husband Noticed Her Absence and Entered Burning Building. David C. Whyte, seventy-five years old, lost his life in an attempt to res- cue his wife, seventy-eight years old, when the Colonial mansion on the es- tate of Cadwell C. Tyler, near Charles- ! town, W.

Jealous Girl Ends Life. Miss Grace Quaide, twenty- -three years old, of Cleveland, Ohio, who shot her sweetheart, J. G. Alder, and then herself, because Alder told her he was going to marry another girl, died. Her last words before she lapsed |p, into unconsciousness were: “I'm glad I did it. I had nothing to live for. I pleaded with him to marry me in spite of his parents’ objection. Then he told me he was in love with another girl. I then shot him, and then myself.” Alder will live, physicians say. Female Artist Commits Suicide.
