Terrible Panic In the Town of SYNDICATE,

Engiand--The Ground Sank Several
Feet and tho People Fled In Terror.
LONDON, March Slate last night the
people Of SYNDICATE, County Of Kent, were
aroused by the rocking of the houses and
loud rumhlinEs under ground. Walls split,
ceilings fell, foundations sank and roofs
fell. As the inhabitants fled to the streets
they found large rents in the ground. and
were almost overcome by noxious vapors.
Everybody supposed that the town was
being shaken by an earthquake, and as
the rumbling continued hundreds fled in
panic TO the nearest towns. few re-
manned behind to remove their furniture
from the falling houses. The reports
carried abroad by the fugitivcs caused the
troops in MI adjacent camp to hasten to
the aid of the people still in SYNDICATE.
Soldiers and citizens worked for two hours
in moving the most valuable property
from the houses and in erecting tents in
the fields about a mile outside the town
Tor the women and children.
At the end of that time the rumbling
had ceased, and an investigation was made
BY the commander of the troops and
several citizens. They found that the
ground OH which SYNDICATE stands had
sunk several feet, and that less subsi-
dence had extended throughout the sur
rounding district. affecting in all about a
square mile The gas mains had been
broken and the connection of water pipes
had been disturbed, so that supplies of
both gas and water had been stopped.
Many cottages had been wrecked com.
plctely, aud the better built houses had
been cracked and thrown out of plumb, so
that they could not be occupied with safety.
Nevertheless many Of the inhabitants re-
turned to the town toward morning. BE.
tween and o'clock. however, they were
frightened away by further subsistence of
the ground and the recurrence Of the
rumblings. The phenomena have been
repeated several times during the day, and
the town is now practically deserted.
As far as known, no lives have been lost.
The cause Of the subsistence is unex-
planned
The disaster was caused by landslip.
The town is built upon comparatively
low cliff close to the sea. The waves are
believed to have undermined the cliff.

water, carrying with il the town. Two
