People now living in the city, who

where earthquakes are frequent, vouch
for the genuineness of the Montpelier

Montpelier intends to adopt the sum-
mer earthquake fashions of the torrid
zone, in addition to its recent adoption
of the north pole winter, it will be
soon be.time for those who love life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
to migrate.
The earthquake in Barre was felt
about LOS o clock this morning all
over the city. Those who live in the
Boswell block on Pearl street jumped

cellar had exploded
The shocks were more severe in
some places in New England than
others and at one place in Maine seven
distinct motions were felt. Nearly
all were reported between and 2

believed at first that there probably
was some trouble with the boilers in
her husbands foundry, which is I'M
derneath Mr. Hutchinson tenement,
but On investigation it WAS found that
everything was in perfect order. The
shock was felt all over the city.
Several watchmen in the large

there was very perceptible shaking
of the buildings. No explanation but
an earthquake can be discovered.

GOOD SHOOTING.

American gunpers continue to hold
the palm granted for the best marks
manship Scores made few days
ago on board the Kearsage established
new record for the American navy
and for the world And the best of
it is, that target practice on board a
war ship comes about as near the
actual conditions of fight as possible.
The shooting was done in the course of
target practice at Pensacola. Florida.
One thirteen inch gun made six hits
out of seven shots in five minutes and
twenty seconds. An eight inch-gun
made ten hits out of ten shots in five
minutes and twenty seconds, and
five inch gun made eighteen hits out
of eighteen shots in two minutes
That is certainly shooting some. 1t
was that kind Of craftsmanship that
sunk two fleets for Spain, each in a
very brief space of time. On marks.
manship depends the final efficiency of
the navy.

which goes to show that submarine
boats are not very safe kind TO play
with around among the shipping of
a big port. A submarine boat with
eleven officers and men dived to lie in
wait for and attack in mock combat
"A warship which was to come that
way. She failed to attack and failed
to make any re.appearance so divers
have been looking for her and at last
have found her. 1t appears that the
little boat got into the regular line of
stespship traffic and was apparently
struck by liner and injured so that
she filled with water. In the absence
of injury the crew could live with the
boat under water for three days, but
with hole knocked in her top she
was sunk and her crew drowned.
