The effects OF an earthquake which
Virginia were felt very distinctly here

The earthquake was insignificant in
the material damage which 1t caused,
but 1t alarmed people every place
where 1t was felt.
There was a very pereeptible tremor
In Martinsburg at 10 minutes past
nine O'Clock People thought at first
that some explosion had occurred, and
inquiries began to come to the news
paper offices asking for explanation
Nothing official was known, however,
until this morning. when Washington
reported that the seismograph there
had recorded an earthquake of faint
character. confined within q radius Of
200 miles, lasting three minutes, and
OF three mlllimeters intensity. Win
chester and Berryvllle felt the same
tremors; and the shocks were felt in
all Virginia towns as far south as
Richmond and Lynchburg.
Inquiry this afternoon by telephone
towards Richmond showed that the
telephone and telegraph wires had
been torn down so generally that a
complete report OF the damage done
had not been gathered as yet.

Col Graves appeared in Martins
