Brooklyn, Sept. 3. Thrco distinct earth
quake shocks wore felt by tho residents of
Brooklyn nlxmt 0 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. No damngo to llfo or property is re
ported from liny section of tho city. Tho
districts of Enst Now York and Soutli
Brooklyn received tho grcntost shook, but
tho rumblings wero distinctly felt in other
sections of tho city. Contradictory reports
are given us to the soverlty of tho shocks.
Tho flrst shock, which wasfoltatO o'clook,
was followed'by n rumbling noise llko dis
tant thunder. This was followed by two
other slighter shocks, which, according to
most of tho reports, died uway in a low,
grating noise.
Superintendent of Polico William J.
McKelvy telephoned to tho polico bend
quarters from his Grceno avenue resldenco
to tho effect that ho had been awakened
from a sound sleep by tho earthquake Ho
said that tho houso oscillated, and that tho
bed on which ho was sleeping had moved
perceptibly. Deputy Commissioner of Po
lice Crosby, who was stopping at Coney
Island, also telephoned to headquarters
that tho shock had been pretty sevoro In
that section of Brooklyn. Ho described It
ns u low, rumbling noiso, and addod that
many houses had boon shaken, all or tno
Inhabitants being aroused from their
sleep. Conductor Barry, of tho Atlantic
Avcnuo railroad, said that when going on
duty shortly before (i o'clock in tho morn
ing ho distinctly felt tho ground shaku and
then he heard a rumbling noiso.
Tho residents of tho Twenty-fifth ward
wero startled by three shocks in rapid suc
cession, followed by a rumbling noiso. Tlio
houses trembled, and many pictures and
other ornaments hanging on tho walls
were thrown to tho lloor. Two conductors
of tho Atlantic Avenue railroad who wero
dining in a restaurant on Washington
street reported to tho bridge police station
that thoy felt tho earthquake shock. Tho
building trembled perceptibly, while tho
plates and other dishes on tho table woro
moved. Thoy said tho shock was llko tho
effects of a distinct explosion.
At many hotels tho guests woro so fright
ened by tho vibrations that they hurried
into tho hallways to find out. tho cause of,
tho trouble. Tho guests at tho Plcrropont
Houso were very much alarmed, and many
of them went down stairs and asked tho
night clerk what had happened. They
thought an explosion must havo oecurcd
In tho hotel.
According to Weather Forecaster Dunn,
tho curthquuko reached New York at 0:11
o'clock yesterday morning. Tho shook
was slight, and lasted for ten seconds. It
traveled from south to north, but com
paratively fow persons in tho mctropolea

Philadelphia, Sept. 3. An earthqunko
jhoek lasting several seconds was felt In
this city shortly after 0 o'clock yesterday
morning. Tills disturbance by mother
earth of tho quiet of tho Sabbath morning
was violent enough, while It lasted, to
create a great deal of consternation and
not a llttlo damage. Buildings perceptibly
swayed, windows clattered and banged
and clocks and pictures toppled from their
places.
Tho shock was most severely felt In tho
suburban districts, nnd it Is snld that in
one part of George's Hill, In Fnlrmount
park, fissure was opened permitting the
entranco of a plummet which extended
down a dlfetuucu of over a hundred feet
without touching bottom. A largo plato
glass window in tho shudo store of Michael
Lott, 1914 Gerninntown nvonuo, was split
from top to bottom. Similar cases aro ns
por -d from other parts of tho city, though
ii ' ,.uuugo to llfo or person has been re
ported. At tho Zoological Gurdons tho vibration
wiw clearly perceptible, but the excitement
which folloived among tiio animals con
tinued for u good while after the solsmio
disturbance. Head Keeper Mauley asserts
thii'i the trumpeting of the elephants, tho
rour of the lions uud the screeching of the
birds was simply terrifying. At Mr.
Mauley's residence, besides the breaking
of Hovenil windows, a clock was thrown
from Its shelf.
Tho clerk at the local weather bureau
declared that no observations of a geologl
Ml diameter were taken there, their efforts
being directed sololy to tho skies. IU
hadn't felt the quake hlmsolf, and was In
clined to doubt the assertions of anybody
who bad.
Incoming reports show that the earth
quake was general throughout onstern

tuany persons wero uwakeued from sleep,
buildings swayed, and a "wavy sensation"
was felt.
At Bristol, Pa., the families of Mrs.

his wife were nearly thrown out of bed.

BEER GLASSES AND BILLETS FLY
After a Bitter Conflict With About Thirty
Enraged Lithuanians the Officers Get
an Upper Hand and Arrest
Ten of Them.
A wedding on Juneborry alley, in tho
Fourtli ward, dovcloVed into a small riot at
an early hour yesterday morning and several
of tho regular police and a Councilman had
an experience that they did not relish. For
about twenty minutes the officers lwttled
witli a gang of about thirty enraged Lithu
anians, somo of them women, and tlio fight
was a bloody one; but fortunately no knives
or revolvers wero used. Beer glassos, stones
and billets were tlio weapons used and many
bodies show the vigor witli which they wero
plied. Somo of the police still feel sore from
head to foot. Tho women fought like
Amazons and left their marks on several of
tho police, as well as tho Councilman. At
ono time it was feared that murder would be
committed.
The fight nro.se from an effort to servo a
warrant. It appears that while tho wedding
was in progress ono Mike Corello stopped at
the open door and looked into tlio house.
Somebody inside thought ho was too inquisi
tive and threw a beer glass at him. Tlio
glass struck him on the head, inflicting an
ugly scalp wound which Dr. Phillips dressed.
Corello applied to Justice Williams for a
warrant and it was placed in the hands of
Policeman Kcrwin for service. When tho
officer went to the houso he was refused ad
mittance and he summoned the assistance of
Chief Toiii and Lieutenant Lee. Council
man Gable, who resides near tho place, aUo
joined tho force and an entrance to tho houso
was gained. The sight of tho bluo uniforms
seemed to have an efl'ect upon the occupants
of the house that a red flag has upon an en
raged bull and a battle was precipitated
almost before tho ollicors could realize what
was going to happen. The house was crowded
uud the officers had no room in which to
make a fight. Chief Tosh was rushed up
into a corner and puniineled by a half dozen
men. Lieutenant Lee was struck on tho
bead with a beer glass and felled to tho floor.
He attempted to ariac, but was sent down
again with a kick in tlio stomach. He was
knocked down three times beToio lio could
draw his billet and make an effectual fight.
Policeman Kerwin was also overpowered by
several of tho men. Councilman Gable was
also badly beaten, but lie proved a stayer.
Two strapping big women and four or five
men of equal proportions had him pinned
against a wall and pounded him unmerci
fully, but the Councilman got in a number of
excellent returns. The prosecutor in the
case who went into tlio houso to identify
his assailant also fared badly, but ho suc
ceeded in escaping by jumping out of a
window. Ho summoned Policeman Hand
and several specials. Tho polico say they
thought tho iiattlo lasted nearly three hours,
but peoplo who were not excited by the heat
of tho fight say it was of twenty minutes
duration. Tho police finally got their billets
workiug on schedule time and succeeded in
quelling tho angered mob. Having accom
plished tliis they marched four of the ring
leaders to the lockup and then returned and
placed six more under arrest. Later in tho
day six of the parties paid fines and costs to
Chief Ilurgess Burns and wero discharged.
Tho other four wero held to serve time.
It is considered very fortunate that Coun
cilman Gable was not armed during tlio
fight, as In such an event tlicro would havo
been somo shooting. He called for a re
volver sovcral times wliilo ho was being
bombarded and in the position that he was
in would have undoubtedly used ono if ho
had it. A Lithuanian woman named Mag
gie Kelly was struck on tho forohoad by a
stono during the melee, but not seriously in
jured. A car Joad of flno yellow peachos at Coslett's

To Improve Their Plant.
Tlio power houso of tlio Schuylkill Traction
Company, at Rappahannock, it is said by tho
olllcials of the company, will shortly undergo
much needed improvements. The caiKicity
is not sullicient, and has caused considerable
trouble of late. New and improved machinery
will bo introduced, thus increasing tlio capa
city. Only fourteen ears are now fit for ser
vice, and when all are pressed into service
tho machlnory is over-taxed and is liable to
break down. An inspection was mado of the
Mt. Carmel-Shamokin plant, and the olllcers
wore favorably impressed. Tlio now plant
will also bo increased in power to allow for
any new branch that may bo built in the
future.
