At Springfield there were two distinct

in each case. Buildings were shaken,
windows and stoves ratified, and suspended

was done.

bells at the Gait House and other hotels
were also rung, and the guests sought the

very much OF hurry. Water pitchers
were overturned in the rooms, and it was
long before the frightened people could be
induced to return to their beds. The
shock caused gaeat alarm in the residence
part of the city, the people rushing into
the street and forming groups which dis
cussed the probabilities of a recurrence of
the quake. The newspaper offices all re-
ceived a shaking up, and in The Courier

anywhere in the city and no damage Of
consequence was suffered by buildings.
