destruction OF the world has prevailed
for hundreds of years The event has
been postponed from time to time,
but papers have been found which dis
close the unpleasant fact that our globe

prophet of the fourteenth century, is
authority for this amazing statement.
The dissolution days. According to
Arento, the programme will be ar
ranged as follows:
First day-The sea will overflow.
Second dav-The water will pene-
trate into the soil
Third day Death of all fresh water
fish.

Fifth day-Death of the birds.
Sixth day-Fall of all houses and
buildings

ALOST STEAMER.
4 Boat by the Name or Jennie Gil
christ, Wrecked at Rock Island III.

Ever since the high water has rem
dered the running OF trains between
Rock Island and Cordovas impossible,
the steamer Jennie Gilchrist has been
employed to carry passengers and
freight between these points. At 10 to-
night the GIchrist left for up the river
with heavy load Of freight and two
barges. When just above the govern
ment bridge the cam-rods of the en-
gine gave way and the machinery
ceased TO work, and the currents run
with amazing strength just there, and
the boat drifted, helpless wreck,
straight for the bridge. The crew and
passengers were panic-stricken and
unable to do anything. The boat
truck the bridge with tremendous
orce and careened over, filing the hold
with water. The weights slid off the
safety-valve and the steam poured from
the boiler upon the helpless people.
The wreck sunk little and passed un-
der the bridge, floating down past the
city front within a few rods from tie
shore.
In the meantime the bridge signal
had sounded the alarm, which was re-
echoed by the city fre-bells and a
large and anxious crowd had gathered
by the river The scene there beggar-
ed description. Tee wreck came float
ing past and the air was filed with the

shrieks and grcans Of the scalded and
drowning, while the sympathizing peo-
pie on shore were totally unable to
render any assistance, for nearly all
the skitfS and row boats have been
placed IN winter quarters. Strong men
IN the crowd wept in agony at the
thought Of the suffering wretohes in the
stream. A little later, however, the
steamer Evansville and the ferry boat
were manned and started out 10 rescue
the survivors, while one row boat was
finally procured and started on the
same mission These worked for hours
and have succeeded in reScuing nine of
the unfortunate ones.
The boat was owned by II. NJ. Gil
christ Of Rapids City, and commanded
by Pat Mantz. There were on board
twenty-three pers >ns, comprising the
passengers and crew, seventeen ofwhom
are reported lost.

A orEsTToS OF rYsASrrY


WAsHIYGToS, Oct. 31.-The attorneys
for Guiteau are deeply absorbed in
looking up the authorities and law upon
which the defense of insanity is to rest.
Mr.. Scoville's mail is increasing every
day and his correspondence has as
sumed great proportions. He receives
letters, pamphlets and suggestions from
hundreds Of persons residing in differ
ent states, and also those who knew
Guiteau and his family years ago.
From wnat Mr.. Scoville has been able
to gather, be believes there viii be no
difficulty in establishing the insan-
ity vi Guiteau. To-day Guiteau
was very excited and manifested
great deal Of interest in his
trial. He is displeased because his at
torney has put in the plea of insanity,
and insists that all of his correspond
cnce since his incarceration be given
10 the press. He says he rests his de-
fence upon the inspiration of the Al
mighty, who caused him TO kill the
president, but is unwilling that his
counsel make ar effort to prove that
other memben of the family were or
are insane. II is rather a coincidence
that the counsel for Seagrant Mason,
who attempted Guiteau's life in the
Jail cell, viii, in the trial of his clienl,
enter the plea of insanity. Mason's at
torney says that although there has
never been 30 far any trace of insanity
in his clients family, he is sure the
sergeant Is insane, and will have no
trouble in proving it .. the trial, which
being before a court marshal has been
postponed by direction of Gen. Han
cock, until after the case of Guiteau
has been disposed of.

Miss Anna Parnell describes the pre-
mier as "a hoary-headed political old
humbug." Mr.. Dillon thinks he Is
greatly over-rated man, but incapable
of STOPPING to misrepresentation to
serve party purpose; but it has been
left to Sir Stafford Northcote to dis
cover that he IS distinguished BY
vein of levitv which sadly warps his
judgment.
