The heaviest earthquake felt in this
CITY since 1863 occurred this afternoon
at 4:4i. The first sensation was that of
an upward movement, followed by
tremulOus vibrations succeeded by tire
mendous heavy waves. The people
rushed from their offices and houses In
great fright. and, although they laughed
and joked, il was quite evident from
their couutenances that they considered
il a very serious affair. Several build
inps on made ground. near the water
front, are reported as having been seri-
ously damaged BY walls being thrown
out Of position. The shock lasted fully
fifteen seconds, and many say 1t lasted
twenty. This one was followed by an
other but lighter shock at Sis. More
are expected.
