Strange Occurrence.

A Report comes from Tat
ham Springs of a most pecu-
liar phenomenon that hap
pened there last Sunday,
which greatly alarmed the
people of the vicinity. The
day, it will be remembered,
was remarkably bright and
beautiful, and yet out of a
clear sky came a most terri
fic explosion as if an immense
dynamite bomb had been set
off, followed by a sound like
a trumpet call. The explo-
sion caused the earth to vi
brate and many, thinking the
day of judgement was at hand
fell on their knees to pray.
The sound was heard by peo-
pie at latham Springs, as it
seemed to occur in the air,
although the earth was shak-
en- by the shock of it. After
the noise subsidized there was
a strong Odor of sulphur and
birthstone, but otherwise no
i'll effect was noticed. Many
now believe it to have been a
falling meteor, whose down
ward fight through the air
caused the peculiar sounds,
while others contend it was
an earthquake. But many
in the neighborhood still be-
lieve it to be a warning sent
of God and are expecting
hourly to hear the final blast
of Gabriel's trumpet.-Har-
rodsburg Herald.

nm awful noise of explosion, and then,
right away, a cyclone of smoke and
fire, but such was the poisonous.
choking nature of the smoke that it
burned worse than the fire. When it
struck people they fell dead. The
cyclone of gas tore the masts out Of
ships, blew others up and sunk some

wave of fire bigger than the smoke

amid the flames for an hour. They
would not run long. Then came that
choking smoke. and they would drop
like dead flies.
The explosion, smoke and fire ali
came and went in three minutes. but
the city burned for three hours. Then
every house was finished and nothing
alive was left. Some men from the
