Newspaper headlines--some help please?

I'm working on my "Reach for the Skies" story and timeline, and would love some ideas for headlines. In June of 1876, a meteorite smashes into the White Mountains of New Hampshire, causing a multi-megaton blast, and leaving a crater a mile wide. The mushroom cloud can be seen for at least a hundred miles or more.

What would the headlines actually say? No one knows what destroyed such a vast area--but everyone knows it happened--the mushroom cloud is visible across the state, at least--if I'm doing it right, quite visible in BOSTON. The cloud is about 16 miles high!
 
1876 you say? I'm betting at least a couple of the newspapers will openly turn religious and go:

ARMAGEDDON
HAS
ARRIVED!
REPENT
AND TURN TO
JESUS CHRIST!
 
You could try looking up headlines for the 1905 Tunguska explosion in the forests of Siberia. Timeline is close enough for similar headlines. They were confused with that too. Of course there would be many more headlines with the destruction of an inhabited area.
 
Yellow Press, and more...

The idea of some calling it Armageddon fits; I'm sure a lot of locals will think that, also. This is widespread--I'm wondering how far panic will spread. Rumors and even news stories tend to magnify things--but how much will a multi-megaton explosion be magnified.

And what will people blame it on?
