QUAKE is FELT
IN FOUR STATES
Shocks in Illinois, Indiana, Mis-
souri, and Kentucky.
VERY LITTLE DAMAGE WROUGHT

Many Persons in ST. Louis Were Awak-
ened by the Disturbance-At Evans
Vile, Ind, Houses Rocked and
Creaked and Pictures on the Walls
Were Swayed-The Shocks Felt at
Decatur, iII.-Very Slight at Chicago
Quake Recorded at Cleveland.
Dispatches from many places in
southern and central Indiana tell Of
earthquake shocks.
No serious damage was done at any
point, but the rocking aroused people
from their slumbers and caused some
alarm among the superstitious.
At Evansville tall buildings swayed
and creaked and electric lights swung
back and forth. In Baptisttown, col,
ored suburb OF Evansville, some Of the
residents became so frightened, think.
ing the world was coming to an end,
that they prayed Brazil reports that
a few old brick buildings cracked
Princeton says the earth tremors were
accompanied by brilliant illumination
in the sky.
Some correspondents say that sleep
ers were shaken out of their beds and
that people rushed into the streets.
Dishes were ratified and some broken
nearly everywhere, and pictures on the
wall swayed. In Indianapolis the ire
mors were slight, but at Kokomo, fifty
four miles to the north, the quake was
much stronger.
Madison reports that the vibrations
lasted one minute, while other places
give the length. of time as a few
seconds only.
The earthquake was also felt in 1lli-
nois, Kentucky and southeastern Mis-
souri, 1t was felt more clearly in the
thinly settled districts. Villages west
of st. Louis reported the destruction
of few chimneys, and in the west end
of st. Louis, the residence district,
many sleepers were awakened.
Reports of the shock were received
from all stations on the Mobile and
Ohio railway as far south as Cairo, Ill.
In Decatur Mattoon and other towns
in central Illinois there were shocks at
practically the same time. Few in Chi
cago felt the earth CULVER.
