The Earthquake Came About Two O'clock and One Shock Lasted Sev eral Seconds. Shakers and Quak ers. At two o clock a severe shock of earthquake was distinctly felt in Charlotte and all through this en tire section. The first shock was very slight ; affecting some buildings as if a Heavy safe had been rolled over the floor. The second shock followed the first one almost immediately. The second shock was quite heavy and was distinctly percepitible for sev eral seconds. A telegram from Charleston says the shock was not perceptible there. The eastern part of North Carolina has not yet been heard from, but from the reports received, it appears that the earthquake was confined to the western part of North Carolina. A telegram from Rutherford Col lege, Burke county, states that quite a distinct shock was felt there almost at the same moment it was felt in Charlotte. Reports by wire from Elmwooi, Asheville and points all over Western North Carolina state that the shock was distinctly felt in many localities. FOLKS WHO WERE SHAKEN. Those sitting in the corridor of the Central hotel felt the shock very distinctly. Mayor Springs was sit ting talking to Mr J. S. Spencer when he first felt the building shake; he remarked about it and Mr. Spen cer pronouced it an earthquake. Several of the members of the North State Club were iu the club rooms at the time. One gentleman was in the act of .making a shot on the billiard table when he felt the shock and down the stairs he came at a two forty rate. At the graded school the shock was very distinct and along with it some say was a low rumbling noise. At the Southern depot the clerks on the second floor thought the first shoct was a passing engine, but the second shock gave the building a quiver that could hardly be mistaken, and shook down some letter files, etc , hanging on the walls. One man when he got up town was asked if he felt the earthquake. H said he thought the quiver was caused by his room mate patting his No. ll's on the floor. At the exposition building the pictures in the art gallery wen; jumbled together, and. nearly all of them thrown out of the plumb. Several had to be taken down and re-hung. At Mr. McD. Watkins', near the city, the shock came near shaking down his store. Rain and hail fell soon after the earthquake. FELT IN RICHMOND. Richmond, May 31.
