A VILLAGE DESTROYED BY AN EARTHQUAKE.
Constantinople, May 27.—The village of Repahie in Armenia has been destroyed by an earthquake. A number of mineral springs spouted from the crevasses made in the earth by the shocks and the flow of water was so great that the adjacent fields were flooded. The earthquake was preceded by rumblings which caused the inhabitants to flee from the village and they thus escaped death from the falling houses. No lives were lost however.
Since a recent earthquake at Santa Ana, in Orange County, Cal., the well of Mr. Huntington in Los Bolsas district, which for years has never flowed to any considerable extent, has given forth large quantities of mud, stones and other materials, the eruptions being volcanic in character. The supply of water is now far in excess of the means provided at the surface for its care, and it has been found necessary to ditch from the well to the river to carry it away. The pipes are at all times in danger of bursting—the sudden blasts of air and foreign substances rendering it more or less dangerous to go near the opening.
