An earthquake, the most violent ever experienced in this country, has shaken every shire from London to the Welsh coast. The sab terraneous disturbance was first noticed about 5 :30 this morning, and lasted from four to five seconds. At many points two distinct shocks were experienced. The most severe shocks were felt at Chelten, Ledbury and Deaniorest. The earthshaking was accompanied by a loud rushing sound. Buildings were violently shaken, furniture, shifted, doors thrown open, pictures and other ornaments upset. The inhabitants were panic-stricken and fled from their houses. The earthquake also visited Birming ham and various points in Shropshire, and was violent in . Worcester and the country surrounding that city. The shocks were followed by a tremor of the earth. The greatest alarm pre vailed everywhere. Chimneys were overthrown, windows, etc., smashed. At some points on the country road per sons were thrown down ; a number of people were thrown out of their beds. Hereford cathedral was injured. The doll, rumbling beneath the earth's sur face was followed by two loud crashes and a terrible lifting and rocking. The panic at Hereford was so great that one woman died from fright. Peo ple rushed wildly into the streets. Many chimneys fell crashing into the thoroughfares. All the pinnacles of St. Nicholas' church toppled over and a part of the pinnacle of the cathedral fell. At Liverpool the earthquake wasjre ceded by heavy thunder and a fearful hail storm. In London the earthquake was only slightly felt. At Bridgennorth; near Shrewsbury, before the disturbance, the streets sud denly seemed to be on fire, and there was a violent rise accompanied by a shaking of the earth. People going abroad in that vicinitv say they were unable to walk, owing to the vibrations. There was great excitement among the people about Poole, who thought the end of the world had come. Houses shook for nearly a minute at Bristol and Clifton, causing much alarm railroad employes at ' Crewe report that they felt the rails oscillate. At Ever sham the shock was followed by a bril liant light in the sky. Tuesday there was a sudden change from mild weather to a severe frost, fol lowea Dy dense logs and snow on Wedneeday. In the mining districts it was first thought the shocks were the results of colliery explosions. The disturbance ,was violent at Warwick Castle.

The report, however, cannot be verified. Throughout the day there were many excited negroes and whites in the streets in Stillwater, and every threat to lynch the prisoner provoked the negroes to fresh declarations that any attempt upon the life of Laug'ulin would be re sisted by the blacks.
