It was particularly severe in those towns that have been undermined, and caused great alarm in Scran ton. Many persons ran terror-stricken from their homes, thinking the buildings were about to fall.

In others the door bells were rung, pictures .ware - thrown from the walls and doors forcea open by the mysterious force that convulsed the earth.

At the Lvskawanna Valley house the guests were alarmed by the general rattling of the dishee and the building rocked violently. A gentleman on Wyoming avenue, who was taking an afternoon nap, says he was awakened by a sensation as of some one raising the bed under him, and this was followed by several pictures falling from the walls of bis room.
