1912 EARTHQUAKE
WORST ON RECORD

Dunkln (Ienn.) Democrat: The
earthquake shock that visited this sec
tion a short time ago, while of lit
tie consequence, called to mind the
visitation of the same section by a
series of severe shocks in 1911 and
1912.
The following letter descriptive of
same, written by one who was living
at New Madrid, Mo-, during the en-
tire period, was published in May,
1911. The letter follows:
New Madrid, Territory of Missouri,
March %, 1816.-Dear Sir: In COM
pliance with your request, I now give
you history, as full in detail as the
limits of a letter will permit, of the
late awful visitation or Providence in
this place and its vicinity. On the
10th day of December, 1911, about
o'clock a. m., we were visited by a
violent shock of an earthquake, ac-
companied by very awful noise, re-
sembling loud but distant thundrer, but
more hoarse and vibrating, which was
followed in few ninutes by the COM
plete saturation of the atmosphere
with sulphurous vapors, causing total
! darkness.
"The screams Of the frightened in
habitants running to and fro, not
knowing what to DO nor where to go
4 the cries of the fowls and beasts OF
every species, the cracking of the
trees falling, and the roaring of the
Mississippi, the current of which was
retarded few minutes, owing, as il
is supposed, to the interruption in it:
bed, formed scene truly horrible.
"From that time until about sun
rise, a number of lighter shocks oc
Cured, at which time one more still
violent than the first took place, ant
the same accompaniments as th'
first, and the terror which had beer
excited in everyone and, indeed, in al
animal nature, was now, if possible
doubled. The inhabitants fled in ev
cry direction to the country, suppos
ing (if it can be admitted, that thei
minds were exercised at alD that ther
was less danger at distance from
than near the river. In one person
fen ale, the alarm was so great tina
she tainted and could not be revived
"Therc were shocks each day, bu
lighter than those already mentioned
until the 23rd day of January, 1872
when one occurred as violent as tn
severest Of the former ones, accom-
panied by the same phenomena as tn
| former. From this on until the At
| of February, the earth was in con
tinual agitation, visibly waving as
! gentle sea. On that day there wa
another gentle shock as hard as tn
preceding one. Next day, four sue
and on the 7th, about o'clock a. m

violent than those which had preceded
it that it was dominated the hard
shock.
'The awful darkness of the atmos-
phere which, as formerly, was satu-
rated with sulphurous vapors, and the
violence of the tempestuous thunder
ing noise that accompanied it, togeth-
er with all the other phenomena men,
toned as attending the former ones,
formed a scene the description of
which would require the most fanci-
full imagination. AT first the Missis-
sippi seemed to renede from its banks
and its waters gathered up like a
mountain, leaving for a moment many
boats, which were here on their way
to New Orleans, on the bare land, in
which time the poor sailors made their
escape from them. 1t then rose Is or
20 feet perpendicularly and expand
ing, as it were, at the same moment,
the banks were overflowed with ret
rograde current rapid as torrent; the
boats. which before had been left on
the sand, were torn from their moor
ings and suddenly driven up the lit
tie creek at the mouth of which they
laid, to the distance, in some instan-
ces, of nearly quarter of pile.
"The river falling Immediately as
rapidly as it had risen receded within
it's banks again with such violence
that it took with it whole groves oil
Young cottonwood trees which dyed
it's borders. They were broken off
with such regularity in some instances
that persons who had not witnessed
the fact would be with difficulty per-
suaded that it had not been the work
of man.
A great many fish were left on the
banks, unable to keep pace with the
water. The river was literally COW
crei with wreckage of boats and tits
said that one was wrecked in which
there was lady and six children, all
of whom were lost In all the hard
shocks mentioned the earth was hor-
ribly torn to pieces, the surface OF
hundreds of acres was from time to
time covered over to various depths
by the sand which issued from the
fissures, which were made in great
numbers all over this country, some
of which closed up Immediately after
they had vomited forth their sand
and water, which, il must be remarked,
was generally the matter thrown up.
'In some places, however, there was
a substance somewhat resembling coal
or impure stone coal thrown up with
the sand. 1t is impossible to say
what the depths of the fissures or r.
regular breaks were. We have rea-
son to believe that some of them were
of great depth.

GIVE FINE "eYM. EXHIBITION.
Y. M. C. A. Glasses Please Big Crowd
With Good Performance.

Parents and friends of boys and
young men who have been taking
gymnastic work at the Y. NJ. G. A. all
winter found that the lessons had been
well worth while when they witnessed
a symnastic exhibit by l25 men and
boys at the ~" gymnasium WeGnes-
day evening.
Under the direction of Physical Di-
rector c. f. Gilman the performers
gave a most interesting entertainment
that kept the crowd Of 500 people in
good humor all the time. Chairs Were
placed for 600, but the crowd over
flowed in and around the seats before
the exhibition commenced. and there
were easily 200 standing.
Opening with grand march, par
ticipated in by all who took part in the
exhibit, the program was of a varied
nature, including all sorts of exercises.
In the grand march there were five
groups of participants. First came the
little boys dressed in blue shirts and
overalis then young boys in white
gym" suits. Following these came in
termediate boys in blue trousers and
white waists. then the young men in
dark trousers and white shirts, and
finally the men in gray trousers and
black sweaters.
Interesting calisthenics were given
by the younger boys, a skillful Indian
club drill by the seniors, and an ex-
ceedingly pretty and we'll executed gar
land drill by the young business men.
Many graceful figures were worked out
by the latter. and the entire effect was
successful. The intermediate boys re-
ceived much applause for their pyra-
mid work, which was quickly and
neatly done. the boys forming various
kinds of pyramids and other figures.
Circus performers would not have been
more enthusiastically received than
were the young men who did tum-
bling act. Nine men took part. and
their somersaults, handsprings and
other feats of acrobatic work were ac-
curately staged. The program closed
tween teams captained by Rev James
P. Linn and Harry Jennings. The for
mer team won 80 to 80.
During the intermissions four clowns.
in the persons of John Garwood, Frank
Willard, Robert Davis. and Arthur
Gossard. furnished amusement galore
to the younger members of the audi
ence in rough and tumble stunts A
pillow fight between two OF the clowns
while mounted on the backs of the
other two was one OF the best Of their
Earious performances.
Music for the entire program was
by Miss Lois Rogers. Director Gilman
led the boys in most of their drills.

haps canoeing. The cost is eStima tee
a. $1,000. The silt removed from the
