JEK O LIT E SC A R E D 1 1 1 E SM I I I I S.
Spent Portion of ti Night Waiting
for World's End to Come.
The fall of a large lerolite has caus
ed a great sensation and much excite
ment in Fulton county, just north of
Hancock, Md., says last Saturday's
Valley Spirit.
The family of George Smith reside
about twelve miles from Hancock.
Thursday morning about 2 o'clock
they were awakened by a tremendous
ly loud hissing noise and a brilliant
Hash of light that illuminated the en
tire surrounding country, followed by
a great crash, us a mighty peal of
thunder. All tho members of the fam
ily were so badly scared thut'they were
afruid to go to sleep again, and they
sat up the remainder of Die night wait
ing for the world to come to an end.
About 10 o'clock Thursday morning,
when Mr. Smith ventured to his burn,
his attention was attracted by the pe
culiar appearance of the ground about
400 yards from the building. It ap
peared as though it had been freshly
plowed. Close examination showed
that a portion of the surface had been
disturbed, evidently by something
passing into it with terrific force.
The discovery explained the myster
ious phenomena of the night before,
and Mr. Smith is convinced that a
large aerolite is burled dee)) in the
ground,
