Others at first thought it the result of some frightful explo- sion of a powder magazine or a car in transit on some of the lines of railway.

As soon as the thoughts of the people were collected telephone inqui- ries from all parts ot the city and suburbs be- &an to pour in at the central officy. These were all to one effect and their uniforinity as to the time and extent of the shocks admits of no doubt whatever that the old earth actu- ally auaked. ‘TheTribune bezan at once to Inquire into the matter at outside points, By telephonic eommunication with Omaha it ‘was lsarned that no shock was felt at that point, At North Bend the experionces w very much as at this place. ‘This would indi- cate that the direction of the undulation of the earth was from the northwest to the southeast, The duration of the s is variously stated from one second to on but as there is no seismograph in this vicinity to register it, it will ne be known how long things 8shook. It is suflicient, however, 1o know that the earth quaked and that Fremont is abreast with the times in all modern improve- ments. The buildings of the city trembled and the windows rattled. Many persons sitting in chairs say they telt a swaying mo- tion accompanied by a heavy rumbling b neath the hovse. Crockery and glassware in our homes and the stores registered the shock in an unmistakable manner. it the disturbance was no electrieal phenomenon is evident from the fact that it was not noted or observad by the telephone operators.” "The disturbance s the zeneral topic of con- versation among our people to-day.
