St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 31--Very perceptible earthquake shocks were felt this morning at Metropolis, Ill., and Cape Girardeau, Mo. At the former place the shock was experienced at 9:30 a.m. and lasted only a few moments. The shock was more severe at Cape Girardeau, where it was felt at 9 a.m. It appeared to come from the south. The duration was about fifteen seconds, and heavy buildings were perceptibly disturbed. There have been several shocks recently through this section. [Submitted by Anna Newell]
