JUSL A BABY EARTHQUAKE.
The Shock Which Visited Savannah, CO.
lumbia and Other Points Felt In
Charleston.

An earthquake shock, which was pre-
ceded by rumbling noise, was felt il
Charleston at 8:11 o'clock last night
The same shock was felt in Savannah
Augusta, Columbia and all intermediate
points. There was no damage, how,
ever, and there is no probability that
another will come. According to the
official report from Observer Jesunof.
sky there was one pronounced shock,
which was followed by at least ten vi
brations, lasting six seconds. Mr.. Jes-
unofsky said that he heard the accom-
panying noise very distinctly and that
1T ceased with the first shock. The di-
rectlon of the shock was from west
northwest and it disappeared toward
the south and southwest.
kilograms from Savannah said that
the earthquake disturbed the people of
that city so badly that many of them
rushed out of doors. At Tybee.it was
stronger than at Savannah Augusta
made an early report of the disturb
ance and messages from Blackville,
klngvllle and other points, includ-
ing Columbia, stated that the roar
frightened the people more than the
quivering of the earth. A telephone
message from Summerville made it ap-
pear that the shock there occurred
twelve minutes after it was left in
Charleston. Mr.. Jesunofsky said that
this was evidently mistake, as the
movement could not have been that
slow. The discrepancy was probably
due to some difference in clocks.
"There is no necessity for alarm"
said Mr.. Jesunofsky last night. "The
shock was distinct and the noise was
loud enough to be heard anywhere.
These slight tremors are felt all the
time, but they are barely strong enough
to make an impression. OF course the
one tonight was hard enough for every
body to feel it but it was probably the
last. '-News and Courier.
