OAKLAND, CAL, June %. = The
heaviest earthquake-shock felt in this
city since 1889 was experienced to-day
shortly after noon. Doors banged, win
dows ratified, clocks stopped and dishes
went tum bling. while women tainted and
strong men turned sick.
At the First NJ. E. Church Rev. Alfred
Hummer was preaching on the General
Judgment" when the shake was noticed.
He had pictured the terrible scene, the
lightning, thunder, falling stones, etc.,
when all of a sudden the house began to
shake and tremble. The mirror in the
pipe organ swung to and fro. which ena-
bled every one IN the house to see them
selves. The chandeliers swung as q PEN

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 20.-The earth.
quake visited San Jose and was distinctly
felt, owing more to its peculiar movement
and duration than TO its severity. So far
as could be learned no damage was done
beyond the stoppage of several clocks.
The vibrations lasted fully thirty seconds.
A telephone message from Mount Ham
ilton to the Mercury states that the shock
occurred at 12:12:56. and a good record
was made on the seismOgraph. Vibrations
are shown from all directions-east and
west, north and south and vertical-the
east and west movement being the
strongest. The duration of the shock has
not been computed, but is variously esti-
mated at ten to twenty seconds. The
record is very complicated and will not be
tigured out until tomorrow.
