Loxnox, Dec. 18.—The most violent
earthquake ever experienced in this
country shook every shore from I)ur-
ham to Surrey and from London to the
W dsn eoast about 5:30 o'eloek this
moraine, lasting from four to thirty
Seconds. At many points two distinct
shocks were experienced.
The most severe shocks were felt at
Chelton, Ledbury and Dean Forest.
1 he earth shaking was accompanied
by a loud, rushing sound. Huildings
were violently shaken, furniture was
shifted, doors were thrown open and
pictures and other ornaments were
upset. The inhabitants were panic
stricken and fled from their houses.
The earthquake also visited liirming-
ham and various points in Shropshire,
and was violent in Worcester and the
country surrounding that city. Houses
rocked and furniture was overturned.
'1 he shocks were followed by a tremor
of earth and were accompanied by a
rumbling sound. The greatest alarm
prevailed, for chimneys were over-
thrown and windows.' etc.. broken.
At some points persons on the country
roads were thrown down and a number
of people were thrown out of their
beds.
Hereford cathedral was injured.
There the dull rumbling beneath the
earth's surface was followed by two
loud crashes and a terrible lifting and
r<x:king. The panic at Here lord wan
so great that one woman died of fright.
People rushed wildly into the streets.
Many chimneys fell, crashing into the
thoroughfares, and all the pinnacles
of St. Nicholas church toppled over
and a part of the pinnacle of the cathe-
dral fell to the ground.
At Liverpool the earthquake was
preceded by heavy thunder and a fear-
fui hail storm.
In London the curthquake was only
slightly felt.
At Hridgenorth, near Shrewsbury,
previous to the disturbance the streets
suddenly seemed to be on tire and
there was a violent report, accom-
panied by a shaking of the earth.
People who were going abroad in that
vicinity say that they were, for a time,
unabie to walk, owing to the vibra-
tions.
'1 here was very great excitement
among the rustics about I'oole. who
thought that the end of the world had
come.
Hon.1 es shook for nearly a minute at
llristol and Clifton, causing much
alarm in those districts. The railroad
employes at Crewer report that they
felt the rails oscillate. At Kvcsham
the shock was followed by a brilliant
light in the sky.
In the mining districts it was at first
thought that the shrieks were the re
suit of colliery explosions.
The disturbance was experienced
with great violence at Warwick castle.
The Karl of Warwick was awakened
and felt his bed lifted as though by
some force twneath it. and the furni-
ture in his room was shifted.

Kansas Citv, Mo., Dec. 18.—United
States Marshal Jo Shelby declared
officially to-day that all persons within
his jurisdiction who were engaged in
aiding the Cuban insurgents contrary
to the treaty laws of the United States
would be arrested wherever found.
The following instructions were sent
to his depu'ies:
"To Deputy I nited Mates Marshals
of Western District of Missouri: You
are hereby directed to observe ex-
plicitly the terms of the President s
proclamation concerning Cuba. Should
you tind parties violating the law, us
declared by the President in said
proclamation, your duty requires you
to tile information before United States
commissioners in your district, have
warrants issued and served with-
out delay. No sympathy or friendly
feeling must be permitted to stand in
the way of the strict performance of
this duty. If your private opinions do
not coincide with the obvious meaning
and intent of the President's proclama-
tion, your immediate resignation us
deputy I nited States marshal is here-
by instantly demanded, as no subord-
inate can be permitted to question for
a moment the authority of his chief in
the interpretation of public duty. He
is a faithless appointee who seeks to
hold on to the emoluments of an office
without enforcing the mandates of the
administration which gave him his
place.
Marshal Shelby la said to be person-
ally in sympathy with the Cubans,
lie said, however, that he would do
his utm.ist to enforce the law against
all filibustering expeditions.

Was Popular All Over
the World.
Rociikstkr, N. Y.f Dec. 18.—Herr-
mann, the famons magician, died
to-day in his private ear at itrain
Valley, near Salamanca, while on his

by a number of his friends. Death

□ Alexander Herrmann was born of
German parentage in France. Aban-
doning his profession of medicine, his
father became one of the foremost
prestigiditateurs in the world and
Alexander's elder brother. C. Ilerrman,
afterward eclipsed the father's fame
Alexander, greatest of the three, was
born in 1844 and made his first appear-
ance upon the stage with his brother
in St. Petersburg when he was 8. He
remained with his brother six years,
when his parents placed him at college
in Vienna. College routine proved too
irksome and at the end of a year he
*eft and began his career as a "ma-
gician"' in Spain, in 1859. He made his
first appearance in America in IStil.hut
returned to Kurope a year l iter to All
important engagements ti; e. In 1874
he returned to America, 'tarrying on
his arrival a woman he hail met on the
voyage.
Herrmann spoke seven languages flu-
ently and.from the necessity of his pro-
fession. was an adept at chemistry and
physics.
Herrmann made a number of tours
in this country and was generally pop-
ular. no less with adults, to whom his
ingenuity appealed, than with chil-
dren. who believed in what they saw.
He usually had a company, but his
own efforts attracted most attention.
Mine. Herrmann made a hit as a
dancer, but her efforts tended rather
to foil the mysteries dealt in by her
husband, and to relieve the excited
tension which his trickeries induced
in an audience. When relieved from
the cares of a tour, he found ease and
happiness in a fine old manor house on
the tip of Long Island Sound. On the
spacious verandahs of this re*'' nee
the magician every summer smo* is
cigarettes and dreamily watched the
sails while he devised new material for
public wonder.
