A dispatch from Huntington, W.Va., says a heavy rumbling noise similar to that of distant thunder was heard on Saturday throughout that section of the Ohio Valley, and immediately following it was a meteoric shower such as has never before been witnessed in that section of the country. The shower extended the entire distance from Rockwood, Ohio, to Ceredo, W.Va.
Many of the meteors reached the earth in solid form, and at Ceredo and Kellogg, stones were picked up, weighing several pounds.

Yes! Thanks Carl for pointing that out to me. I’ll fix it now.
Martha should this not be 1889?
