TOwn-The Peregrinations of An East
Maine Earthquake.

Bangor, September 25.-Eastern Main
and Bangor especially, experienced an
earthquake shook today which gave
many people fright, although no
actual damage except the shaking of
some bricks from chimneys is reported.
1t has been many years since anything
like it occurred in this section of the state.
From Olamon on the north. down
through the towns this side through
Bangor, Brewer, Hermon,. Bucksport,
Ellsworth, Sullivan and other places the
shock was distinctly felt. The shock be-
gan at 1.05 and lasted about 10 seconds.
Houses were shaken and people who by
nature of their work nights are obliged
to sleep in the day time, noticed very
perceptible rocking of their beds There
was heavy rumbling noise and there
was big shake which was somewhat
alarming. People indoors felt the shock
more than those out of doors. On Thorn
as Hill, the most elevated portion of the
city, it was particularly heavy. ;,
1T was seven minutes past o'clock, ~
says a resident of Thomas hill, "when the
shock struck us. There WAS a strange
sound, as If heavy wheels were rumbling
past, or like thunder, and then the house
commenced to shake. My first thought
was that the hot water tank in the
kitchen had become overheated and that
its contents was boiling, and I FASTENED
to let off the hot water from the cocks to
relieve the pressure. then saw that the
trouble was of different and more seri
Gus nature. My family were terrified
below stairs, and ran about to discover,
if possible, the cause of the disorder. We
did not then imagine that the disturbance
was more than local. but our neighbors
soon showed signs of distress and we al
once leaped at the conclusion that we had
been visited by an earthquake.
'sThe shock was more severe than any
ever before experienced, and the houses
shook fearfully, with rocking motion
that seemeds particularly dangerous.
The shock lasted for some seconds.
The earthquake was felt distinctly In
many portions of Brewer and il anything
it was more severe than in Bangor. II
started in near the ferry and took in 9
belt extending towards South Brewer
North Brewer and Whiting hill.
At the City hall, about the only person
in the building at the time was City
Clerk Otis G. Farnham. He was standing
in the rear of the long corridor when the
quake came. The whole building SHOOK
and the windows upstairs and down rat
tied and the doors on large safe ratified
as though it would open.
Down on Wilson street, near the ferry
John c. Holbrook was in his store, ano
he was SO frightened when he saw the
goods move OH the shelves and the wind
ows in the back of the store rattle he rar
from the store to the sidewalk. George
