A shrck rnnembllng that of an earthquake
was distinctly tell In this city laat evening.
The whele enrlli seemed te tremble or
quiver. The vibration wasacoenipanled by
a tumbling nelle. Xt waa exactly 0-J7,'f
wben tbe shook waa Hist felt at thelw
Ti:i.t,uiRNCKn ollleo, and tbla observation,
with a number of othera, taken wltb great
care and corrected te observatory time by
Protester J. B. Kortehner, give an avenge
of 0:10 3. Mr. F. M. 8 te wert, the telegraph
operator el tbe United Pesa In tbe In
Tnr.t.tOKNCKn t lllce took out bla watcb at
the first tremor et the earthquake, and
timed It at exactly t5 seconds. This ap
pears le be tbe arcurate record et the dura
tlonef lire shock, and Is of great solentlflo
value. Kstlmntia of the duration et the
tremor vary from five aeoenda te several
minutes, but te most people the time
would seeni te v very rapidly under tbe
clrcumstances. Mr, Stewart waa at bla
lodgings, 117 College avenue, and aa tba
neighborhood la very quiet waa able te
nbaervothe phenomena closely, lie aaya
the shook dled gradually away. Mr, Wra.
B. Mlddlolen, of the Penn Iren work,
alto took a very oarelul and accurate
observation. Poeplo living near tbe
railroad Imsglncd at first tbat a very heavy
frelcht train was passing, and in the neigh,
borbeod etitic electrle light works the Jar
ring was ter the moment aaerlbcd te the
machinery of tbat establishment At the time
many nt tbe poeplo of tbe oily were eating
tttppvr, aud nolse le these Inside of build
ings waa mueh greater than te persona eh
tbe atroelH. Dishes en the tablea and glass
lu the windows were rattled. Furniture
was moved and at pieces almost toppled
ever. Sick peel le In bed felt tbe sensstlen
very plainly. The nolse sounded aa
thetieli a wagon et tremendous slr.s waa
rushing through tbe i-troets. As seen aa the
rumbling bad eeased people, many
et whom were terribly frightened,
ran te the frontdeor te Inquire what It all
meaut, only tn be met by tbetr nolghbera
who wanted nu auswer le the same conun
drum. Xu aome squarea there were people
at every deer for a time, but none could
explain the mystery. A report was seen en
the town tbat ene of tbe powder houses
near the city had exploded. Anether waa
that the cotton mills bad blown up, and a
third wan that the bollcralniheMIUeravlIle
Nermal tcboel bad wrceked tbat building.
Tboee rumors wero toen found te be untrue
and In a tew minutes tbe Intki.mubneer
recelved teloptieno meatagea from New
Helland, LIIU7, Columbia, Quarry vllle and
ether pluoes. They atated that the aboek
had been distinctly foil lu these places, but
'tbe poeplo were at n less te knew what It
was unless there had beeu a ten I bio oxplo explo oxple
elon somewhoro. Telegrams from Yerk,
Harrlsburg, Cbambcrsburg, Goaleavtlle,
aud ether places brenght murenewa of the
shock, and psople were then pretty well
satisfied that It was an earthquake.
The shook was tbe principal tople of
conversation ou the streets last evening,
and although teme people bad net felt It,
tbey were very few, and these who did
Boeraod se very anxious te tell tbetr exper
ience tbat tbe chestnut bell would nave
dene geed sorvleo. Many people noted It
nt tbe time, and gave It no further thought
until tbey heard au earthquake spoken of,
when tbey suddenly remembered alt aorta
of alarming things, and conversation like
tbe following were frequent : "Did you feei
the earthquake 7" "Ne. An oartbqeake
why, yes I certainly, was It net terrible T"
Tbe wildest et tales wero given out and
In most cases wero Lelltved, Thoeountry
poeplo In attondance at the different mar
IteU te day wero all talking of the shock,
and thore Beems tn have been no part of
the country In which It waa net felt. Tire
gontlemen v. he drove from Mt. Jey te
Lancaster, felt the shock en the read aa
they passed along. They sold their buggy
seemed le mnve up and down. They wero
near a railroad crossing at the time and
supposed that a train was approaching but
upon finding ihatlhls was net thoefse were
mystified.
Tbe shock wns telt with varying In
tonally in Pennsylvania, Dolaware aud
Maryland, but &ttnn te have been meat
sovere at Yerk and Lancaster, lu Yerk a
proneuncod earthquake shook was felt
therein tboevonlngat 0:10, which bad tbe

happened In tbe heuse of his neighbor. It
was net until tbey ran out of their beuses
te find everbedy tUe outalde tbat tbey
found out tbat It was an earthquake shock.
It was a loud report with yety distinct
vlbratlenr, and was tbe most violent shock
ever felt there. Women ran shrloklegfrom
their houses with tbelr Infanta In their
ariUH, aud for a while In seme sections e
tbe city tbe excitement was Intense. Ne
damage resulted tbere.
In PotlsiewD, (Jettysburg, Lebanon,
Headlng, Wilmington, Havre de Grace,

A report from Moelom s'ates that a Mra.

A meiasge from Mohrsvlile states that

In Carrell, Baltimore, Harford nnd Cee 11

At Towsintewn, Buitlmere county, the
