Show Probably From Above Instead of Below. PiTTSBUBG, Pa., September 28. A series of explosions Saturday afternoon, supposed to have been caused by a shock of earthquake, are now thought to have been an explosion of a meteor. Inquiries have been sent to the city from points thirty to forty miles distant, asking the cause of the explosion. There were five or six detonations m rapid succession, and the course of the sounds was from the northeast to the southwest. At Mansfield, about five miles distant, there was the greatest consternation, particularly among the miners at work in the coal pits in that district. Thus far the place where the meteor fell has not been discovered. |
