AN EARTHQUAKE
Gives Maine a Severe Shak-
ing Up, Saturday Afternoon.
Shock Felt Just After | P. M. and
Lasts About 10 Seconds.
DISHES. Stoves, Furniture, Houses and Even
Some People Are Ratified.

Bangor, Sept. 26.-Just after o'clock
Saturday afternoon, nearly the whole
State of Maine experienced a decided
shock of earthquake. In this city and
Brewer the rumbling lasted. according
to reliable witnesses, from three-fourths
of minute to a minute in time. It
shocks granite and brick buildings very
noticeably. and ratified dishes in the
cupboards of private houses.
Special dispatches to the local papers
note the occurrence of the shock in
Bucksport, Ellsworth. Cherryfield, Steu-
ben, Belfast, Machias, Rockland
Stockton Springs, to the south, and
Orono, Old Town, Olamon and other
places to the north.
At Belfast, at los P. NJ, two rumbles
We're felt, the first lasting about five
| seconds. the second and more severe
lasting about 10 seconds.
AT Pennington, at 1.03 p. NJ, mo-
ton was felt, apparently from north
east to southwest, and lasting fiv.
! seconds. No damage was DONE
At Pittsfield bottles in drug store
ratified so ominously that a clerk fled
| from the store in fright.
The earthquake was felt distinctly in
| many portions of Brewer and if any
thing it was more severe than in Ban
gor. 1t came about l O'clock or to be
| exact as one person caught the time
| 102. 1t started in near the ferry and
took in belt extending towards South
Brewer, North Brewer and Whitin,,
| Hill.
Bangor and Brewer were not the only
sufferers. From Olamon, far up in
the north county. there came the fol-
| lowing:
Earthquake passed here 1.04 this
| afternoon; duration ten seconds. Shook
| chimneys and few bricks fell. Direc-
| ton from northeast to southeast"
In BuckspOrt the shock was fel,
plainly, and lasted nearly one minute
| The people We're greatly terrified and
ran from their homes in haste. Dishes
| ratified and chimneys We're in danger
of being cast down. No serious dam
| age was reported.
Ellsworth got the shock at 1.ol
| o'clock, and it continued for six sec
| onds. much to the discomfort of the in
| habitants of that lively city.
| Sullivan had several shocks, on,
after the other.
No damage was reported anywhere
more than that suffered by household
decorations, which We're thrown in tn.
| shake.
This is the most severe earthquake
| shock ever felt in this vicinity.

SOUNDED LIKE TRUN DEG.
Garland Man Thought the earthquake Was
Clap Of thunder.

Dexter, Sept. 26.- (SpeciaD. An
earthquake shock was felt here at
about 1 O'Clock, Saturday afternoon.
Quite a distinct rumbling like car
riage passing over a wooden bridge was
heard, followed by a trembling of the
ground, enough to rattle the dishes on
the table. One man from Garland way
says the rumbling in that locality was
so distinct that he thought it was
thunder until he stepped to the dool
and saw that the sky was all clear. The
trembling was quite distinct in his
locality.

SERIOUS INJURIES
To Ara Cushman and Wife in
a Runaway Accident.
Major Edward |. Merrill, a Prominent
Pennington Citizen, Dead.
Two North A's'" Ladies Badly Shake" "
in Runaway.

Lewiston, Sept. 27.-(SpeciaD.- Ara
Cushman and wife were badly injured
in a runaway accident in Auburn, this
afternoon, in Auburn, and their condi-
ton, tonight. is said to be serious, per-
haps critical.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cushman were riding
not great distance from their resi-
dence, when the horse became fright
ened and soon became unmanageable
running down the street at terrific
speed and finally throwing them both
out.
Mrs. Cushman had one arm badly
hurt and it is feared that she sus-
tanned internal injuries. Mr.. Cushman
was even more seriously injured, he
having two ribs broken his head terri
bly, cut and bruised and being badly
shaken up all, over. His condition, to-
night. is said to be critical.
The doctors in attendance will not
express an opinion as to the probable
| result of his injuries and that alone
| adds to the apprehensions of the people
of both cities. 1t is understood that he
is being kept under the influence of ar
lanesthetic, tonight.
Mr.. Cushman is one of Names best
known business men. being at the heaG
of the famous Ara Cushman CO.. shoe
manufacturers. For many years hi
has been considered an authority on al
matters connected with that line o.
business, and his advice has beer
sought and acted upon by men the
| country over. His death would be q
great loss to the sister cities.

CORN CROPS RUINED.
Dexter Farmers Suffer Severely from Effect
Of Tuesday Nights Frost.

Dexter, Sept. 26.-(SpeciaD. The frost
which struck this locality, Tuesday
night, froze the ground in some locali-
ties quite hard, and so affected the
sweet corn, that the factory here, which
had just got fairly under way, decided
to buy no more, after last night. This
will leave many farmers with fields of
corn on their hands. They planted un-
der contract, and now they are left
with something on their hands for
which there is no market Some say
their corn is all right, and fail to see
why they cannot enforce fulfillment Of
contract. On the other hand the corn
packers say there is not enough good
corn left. even il they could detect the
good from the poor to pay them to run.
