ALARMING EARTHQUAKE.
ON THURSDAY ISLAND. "WOMEN PROSTRATE 'WITH FEAR. THURSDAY ISLAND, June 28. Two shocks of earthquake occurred here last night. The shocks were preceded by two severe explosions, .which caused residents to rush out into the streets, believing that the military magazine had blown up. Somewhat later another heavy detonation occurred, followed by a long series of low rumblings. The earthquake appeared to come from south to north. The vibrations were not so terrifying as the accompanying noise. Many women were prostrated with fear. "*-
