THE'Elll’l-ll THEMBLED
England ExpeTienees Several I Strong
Earthquake Shocks. ,
SHOOK THE WHOLE COUNTRY
The Famous Hereford Cathedral Injured,
and Much Minor Damage Was Done.
The People In Some, Places
Became. Panic Stricken.
fLONDON, Dee. 18.—An earthquake, the
most violent ever experienced in this coun-
try, "today shook every shire from Durham
to Surrey and from London to the Welsh
coast. The disturbance was first noticed
at about 5:30 this morning. It lasted from
4 to 30 seconds, and ‘at many points two
distinct shocks were experienced. The
most severe shocks were felt at Chelten-
ham, Ledbury and Dean Forest. They
were accompanied by a loud, rushing
sound. Buildings were violently shaken,
furniture was shifted, doors were‘thrown
open, and pictures and other ornaments
Were upset.
stricken and fled from their houses. The
earthquake visited Birmingham and vari-
ous points in Shropshire and was violent
in Worcester and the country surrounding
that city. Houses rocked, and furniture
was overturned. ‘
The shocks were followed by a tremor of
the earth. The greatest alarm prevailed
everywhere. Chimneys were overthrown,
and windows, etc., were smashed. At
some point-s persons'on the country roads
who were going to work were thrown
down, and a number of persons were
thrown out of their beds.
Hereford cathedral was injured by the
severe shock felt at that place. There the
dull rumbling beneath the earth’s surface
was followed by two crashes and a terrible
lifting and rocking. The panic at Here-
ford was so great that one woman died of
fright. Persons rushed wildly into the
streets. Many chimneys fell, and all the
pinnacles of St. 'Nicholas’ church toppled
over, and part of a pinnacle of the cathe-
dral fell to the ground.
At Liverpool the earthquake was pre-
ceded by heavy thunder and a fearful hail-
storm. In London the earthquake was
only slightly felt. ’
A Singular Phenomenon.
A singular phenomenon was observed
at Bridgenorth, near Shrewsbury, previous.
to the disturbance. The streets suddenly
seemed to be lighted up, and there was a
violent report, accompanied by earth shak-
ing. People who were going to their work
in that vicinity say they were for a time
unable to walk owing‘to the vibration.
There was very great excitement among
the rustics about Poole, who thought that
the end of the world had come. '
Houses shook for nearly a minute at
Bristol and Clifton, causing much alarm
in those districts. ' '
The railroad employees at Crewe report
that they felt the rails oscillate, and at
Evesham the earthquake shock was fol-
lowed by a brilliant light in the sky. . In
the mining districts it was at first thought
that the shocks were the result of colliery
explosions, and this belief prevailed for
some time.
The disturbance was experienced with
great violence at Warwick castle. The
Earl of Warwick was awakened and felt
his bed lifted, and the furniture in his
room'was shifted.
The inhabitants of Slough were awak-'
ened by a shock so severe that they thought
the Middlesex powder factory had explod-
ed. A large area of ground sank near Stock-
port, and at Melton-Mowbray the noise
which accompanied the earthquake resem-
bled a discharge of 'gun cotton under wa-
ter. ' ‘ .
Up to Tuesday the weather in Englan
was unusually mild, but-on Tuesday there
was a sudden change to severe frost, which
was followed by dense fogs and snow on
Wednesday. ‘
