QUAKE IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS.
Shock Awakens Residents n Region
from Peoria South to Ohio River.

oAOSh o0SAo
from Peoria South to Ohio River.
A slight earthquake which was felt
in Southern and Central Illinois and
Indiana and throughout Southwestern
Missouri, occurred early onday IN
St. Louis the tremor came at o:4i
O'Clock. So far as has been learned
little or no damage resulted. The gen.
eral direction of the shock was west
to east, and it was felt more clearly IN
thinly settled districts. villages west
of ST. Louis reported the destruction
of a few chimneys.
Reports of the phenomenon were re-
ceived from all stations on the MoDlle
and Ohio Railway as far south as Cl-
cero, where the vibrations were from
south-southwest to north-northwest. In
Madison, Mattoon and other towns IN
Central Illinois there were shocks at
practically the same time. At Spring
field, windows and chandeliers were
ratified and many persons were awak-
ened. In Peoria residents of the bluffs
and the central part of the city were
aroused from sleep by the tremor. A
dispatch from Decatur says two shocks
were felt there, but no damage was
done.
Evansville, Ind, was severely shak-
en-. Houses rocked and creaked and
pictures on the walls swayed. Many
people were awakened by the shock.
A rumbling noise accompanied the dis
%turbance. A telegram from Princeton,
Ind, says the sky was brilliantly IL
Illuminated. while two distinct shocks,
each lasting ten seconds, were felt
there. A settling of the earth's crust,
with the seat of the disturbance many
miles distant, is the generally accepted
cause of the quake. Earth vibrations
lasting for one minute were recorded
at 3:45 o'clock at st. Ignasius Observ-
atory, Cleveland.
