Earthquakes and Storms.
By Editor
A cable despatch via London, tells of a severe earthquake in south-eastern Spain. A tidal wave submerged miles of the coast near Barcelona. The damage reported is said to be not serious. January 29, just a month after the great earthquake, Messina, Italy, was again visited by several severe shocks. Nearer home, it is said that Grizzly Mountain, an old volcano seventy-five miles north of San Francisco, has been "rumbling and grumbling for a week." An eruption is feared. A great blizzard is sweeping the country at this writing from the Rockies to the Atlantic, the wind reaching a velocity in places of seventy-five miles an hour, trains are blocked and lost in snow, telegraph and telephone wires are down, and traffic is blocked in many places. It is said at Chicago to be the worst blizzard in history.
