SHAKEN UP.
The British Isles Visited by Violent
Earthquake Shocks.


London, Dec. 1S.-Two strong shocks
of earthquake were felt throughout
Wales, the Midlands and the south OF
England early Thursday morning. The
first shock occurred at three o'clock
and the second at half-past five, the
waves passing from west to east.
Houses were violently shaken, beds
moved from their places, doors forced
open and furniture overturned. Tele-
grams from all quarters concur in the
statement that the first shock was Of
30 seconds duration and was followed
by loud rumbling sound and minor
tremblings of the earth. The second
shock was shorter but more severe
Many people in Windsor, Cheltenham
and other places rushed out of their
houses. but no one was hurt
Hereford cathedral was injured.
There the dull rumbling beneath the
earth's surface was followed by two
loud crashes and a terrible lifting and
rocking. The panic at Hereford was SO
great that one woman died of fright.
People rushed wildly into the streets.
Many chimneys fell, crashing into the
thoroughfares, and all the pinnacles OF
ST. Nicholas church toppled over and
part of the pinnacle of the cathedral
fell TO the ground.
At Liverpool the earthquake was pre-
ceded by heavy thunder and fearful
hailstorm. In London the earthquake
was only slightly felt.
A singular phenomenon occurred at
Bridgenorth, near Shrewsbury, previ-
Gus to the disturbance. The streets
suddenly seemed to be on fire and there
was a violent report, accompanied by
shaking of the earth. People who were
abroad in that vicinity say they were for
a time unable to walk owing to the vi
brations. There was very great excite
ment among the rustics about Poole.
who thought that the end of the world
lad come.

Phoenix, A. T., Dec. 17.-Three thou
sand visitors are in Phoenix to attend
the fifth annual session of the national
irrigation congress. Visitors come from
25 states. The eastern men take as
much interest in irrigation as the arid :
land citizens. Strawberries, oranges,
lemons, grapes and various other semi
tropical fruits were presented to the
visitors, creating surprise of the resi-
dents of the frozen east. Great interest
was manifested in the many able and
valuable papers which were read.
