LONDON, April pat $50 o'clock this
force was felt in the eastern counties of Eng
land. Localities in Essex and Suffolk were
the scenes o; the greatest disturbance. At Up
switch, the capital of Suffolk county, the shock
was 80 severe that the walls Of houses were
perceptibly shaken, plates were ratified and
bells rung. The people we're thrown into
such state Of CONSERVATION that business
was for time suspended.
The shock was still more severe at Dorches-
ter, in Essex county. The conclusion lasted
half minute. The! first symptom was deep
rumbling sound, portentous and awe inspiring.
This was speedily followed by a quaking and
shaking of all buildings. Church bells sound
ed as though swayed by unseen hands. The
tall chimney stacks OF factories crashed in
ruins to the earth and other lofty structures
were destroyed. The spire of one of the lsrg-
est churches in Dorchester, $50 feet in height
fell with an awful crash to the ground. In
one part of the city fire was caused by the
shock. 1t is impossible to estimate the amount
of the damage. but it is known to be great.
Iu private houses the greatest confusion pre-
vailed. Tables were overturned, chairs swayed
and nodded and then fell sprawling upon the
| floor. China and glassware in cupboards and
| sideboards ratified and was frequently shat
| tared, while nictures and other ornaments nm
| an the walls ware loosened from their fasten-
| ings and fell to the fioor. The people were
| terror stricken. Men women and children
rushed shriekine into the streets where their

WILKEsBARRE. Pa, April 22.-Owing to the per-
sscution of the Hungarian mine aborers in this vi
cnity, many of them are pa ;king up and returning
to their native land. Within the past few days
large demands have been made on the Savings De-
ptsit Bank of that city by these people and tickets
at once purchased for the return trip. AS a rule
the Hungarians very saving class of people.
In fact this trait to have aroused the ire
of their enemies, the native laborers who never did
dollar for rainy day, even when times were
flush. Owing to their failure to understand the
English language they subject tie all kinds of in
suits and taunts, which they bear with great forth
tude. AS an instance of the cruelty that is prac-
tised upon them, without even cause, it is related

playing marbles in front of his fathers home was
approached by two vicious characters, wearing big
brogans, who deliberately stepped upon his fingers

take that, you young Hungarian"
