Persons residing in the vicinity of
Delta were startled by two heavy vibra-
lions of the earth, on Sunday night which
seemed like an earthquake. 1nvestiga-
ton however, showed that it was caused
by the caving in oftwo ofthe slate quarries
R. L. Jones Company and the Peach
Bottom Slate Company. The heavy
rains had loosened the supports and tons
of rock and earth were precipitated to
the bottom of the quarries, which pro-
duced shocks felt for miles around. No
particular damage was done except the
closing up of the drain at the R. l.. Jones
Company quarry.

Indignation as to who should govern the
City's affairs for the next twelve months.
So long as they only resort to printers
ink and keep out of costly law suits, we
do not suppose that the taxpayers will
mind what they call each other. 1t is to
be sincerely hoped that they viii have
their fight out on election day and settle
down quietly to accept the inevitable
with as good grace as possible.
