the residents TO become greatly
alarmed
The seismic disturbance was also felt
all through that region, in Pennsylva-

Springs the shock was felt distinctly
and the town was alarmed. rumbling
noise like distant thunder was heard,
followed by wave which extended
far up into Fulton county, Pa, and was
felt in every town and village through
that section. The disturbance lasted for
a few seconds, and at first was thought
to have been caused by a terrific eX-

shock was felt for many miles around
