from the broad foundation upon which we stand,
there was q momentary feeling Of danger, when
was, however, speedily forgotten. or course many
people rushed INTO tho streets, not because they
were frigntcned- certainly n0t-Dut just to see why
the crowd collected. Small tables, which q few
moments previously had been surrounded by o
crowd, were rendered tenantless. 1t being. how
ever, speedily ascertained thai no damage had been
done, not even an old brick building having been
started from lLs foundations or cracked In is walls
