SAVANNAH, Ga. September g.
At 1890 o'clock tonight. sun time,
another shock of earthquake was
felt here. 1t was more severe than
any except the first one on Tuesday
night. People rushed from their
dwellings into the streets in every
part of the city and refuse to re en-
ter them, monentarily expecting a
repetition of the terrorizing expert
ence. Guests of the hotels are
in the surrounding squares.
1t IS safe to say that very few peo-
pie will consent to sleep in doors to
night.
