their people. Jacob Rosenthal, a ten

to be another earthquake shook Chi
cago at o'clock this morning and
made the country tremble for miles
around 1t came not in the low, long,
rumbling manner in which earth
quakes usually occur, but with a great
boom. The explosion was caused by
four tons of giant powder said
to have been accidentally ignited
near the little town of Romeo, on the
new drainage canal. Throughout an
area of about fifty miles square, from
Waukegan, ILL.,, on the north, to KAN
kakee, Ill, on the south, and from
Rockford, ILL.,, on the west, to Michigan
City, Ind, on the east, the shock was
heard. At all those places there
seemed to be a great explosion, ana
anxious inquiries were sent in all d1-
rections to learn the cause Of the
shock. No one was killed. The ex-
plosion occurred in the powder house
near Romeo, about 800 feet from the
canal. Throughout Chicago windows
shook and ratified and buildings seemed
to rock Probably as many as a mil
lion people were awakened by the
shock. The explosion occurred In the
same place where last week number
of workmen were killed and injured
by a similar accident on a smaller
scale. c e. .t...i-'
