QUAKE IS FELT IN FOUR STATES

Shocks In Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kentucky. VERY LITTLE DAMAGE WROUGHT Many Persons in Bt. Louis Were Awakened by the Disturbance—At Evansville, Ind., Houses Rocked and Creaked and Pictures on the Walls Were Swayed—The Shocks Felt at Decatur, lll.—Very Slight at Chicago. Quake Recorded at Cleveland. Indianapolis, Sept 28. —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, a colored suburb of Evansville, some of the residents became so frightened, thinking 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 a brilliant illumination in the sky. Some correspondents say that sleepers were shaken out of their beds and that people rushed into the streets. Dishes were rattled and some broker? nearly everywhere, and pictures on the wall swayed. In Indianapolis the tremors were slight, but at Kokomo, fiftyfour 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 Illinois, Kentucky and southeastern Missouri. It was felt more clearly in the thinly settled districts. Villages west of St. Louis reported the destruction of a few chimneys, and in the west encl 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, 111. In Decatur, Mattoon and other towns in central Illinois there were shocks at practically the same time. Few in Chicago felt the earth quiver.

Mr. Schramus, the popular cloak and suit man, will be here on Friday, Oct. 1, with a full line of cloaks and suits. ROWLES & PARKER.
