Convulsions of Nature

By Editor

Convulsions of Nature.—A slight shock of earthquake was felt in this vicinity Wednesday morning a half hour after midnight, June 5, lasting from six seconds in San Jose to ten seconds in San Francisco. No damage is reported, but many were greatly alarmed. Letters from China tell us that a recent earthquake destroyed the city of Haing Kiang and that 4,000 people were killed. June 7, the village of Serai, on the Turco-Persian frontier was destroyed by an earthquake. Damages from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000 were caused by a cyclone at Kurachi, India, the first of this month. Twenty-nine persons were killed and forty were reported injured as a result of a tornado which swept over Southern Illinois, Indiana, and Central Kentucky. Gradyville, Ky., and York and Minden, Ill., were the chief towns which suffered.
