20 TON METEOR FALLS;
SHAKES so MILE RADIUS
Glare IIIuminates Parts of Two
States in Southern Crash.
500 Foot Hole Made.

Norfolk, Va-The shock of a twenty
ton meteor, which crashed to the
ground in an isolated spot in Notta-
way county II miles northwest Of
Blackstone, was felt for a radius OF
80 miles, while the brilliant glare of
the incandescent body Illuminated the
heavens over southern Virginia and
sections of North Carolina.
The trail of light, as the meteor fell
In slow curve from the zenith at an
angle of about 45 degrees, was visible
in this city, Richmond and at points
along the James river, creating general
excitement and even CONSERVATION on
the part of the negroes.
The meteor, composed of metallic
substance, crashed into a grove of oak
trees with an explosive roar some dis
tance from any house, making a hole
with an area of 500 square feet and
burying several trees with it. Flames,
which were visible for many miles,
Immediately shot up, while trees
caught fire.
A party of scientists and newspaper
men Immediately left Richmond ana
this city for the scene, which is 120
miles west of Norfolk.
The shock of the fall was felt m
Lawrenceville, Petersburg, Chase City
and other points. At Lawrenceville,
100 miles west of here, windows were
ratified and houses shaken, while ut
Chase City similar effects were noted.
Automobiles On the roadways in
Mecklenburg county said it seemed as
though their cars had caught fire, so
great was the illumination.
In Norfolk the meteor appeared as
to be about half the diameter of the
full moon and much like a street arc
light. Its tail of orange brilliance with
1 sharp blue flame fading out at the
extreme end, apparently was about ten
or twelve times as long and fully as
broad as the body.
In Richmond a streak of light was
noticed before the ball of fire was seen
swirling through space.
