The Shock Which Visited Savannah, Co lumbia and Other Points Felt in Charleston. An earthquake shock, which was pre ceded by a rumbling noise, was felt in Charleston at 8:11 o'clock last night. The same shock was felt in Savannah, Augusta, Columbia and all intermediate points. There was no damage, how ever, and there is no probability that another will come. According to the official report from Observer Jesunof sky there was one pronounced shock, which was followed by at least ten vi brations, lasting six seconds. Mr. Jes unofsky said that he heard the accom panying noise very distinctly and that it ceased with the first shock. The di rection of the shock was from west north-west and it disappeared toward the south and south-west. Telegrams from Savannah said that the earthquake disturbed the people of that city so badly that many of them rushed out of doors. At Tybee-it was stronger than at Savannah. Augusta made an early report of the disturb ance and messages from Blackville, Kingville and other points, includ ing Columbia, stated that the roar frightened the people more than the quivering of the earth. A telephone message from Summerville made it ap pear that the shock there occurred twelve minutes after it was left in Charleston. Mr. Jesunofsky said that this was evidently a mistake, as the movement could not have been that slow. The discrepancy was probably due to some differer.ce in clocks. "There is no necessity for alarm," said Mr. Jesunofsky last night. "The shock -was distinct and the noise was loud enough to be heard anywhere. These slight tremors are felt all the time, but they are barely strong enough to make an impression. Of course the one tonight was hard enough for every body to feel it but it was probably the last.
