A dispatch from Charleston says that the
prediction Of Professor" Virgins that the
South would be visited by most destructive
earthquake on Sept. 20 has done more TO un-
nerve the people of Charleston than all the
disturbances that have occurred since Sept. !.
Ii is useless 10 say that there can be no iounda-
tion for the prediction. Even men who know
the utter absurdity Of il, but who have been
through the earthquake were unnerved at
reading il. The women and children are
utterly prostrated. The Nslns and Courier tried
10 show the Virgins prophecy TO be without
foundation. but there is no use TO attempt 10
argue with men, women and children who
have been living on the brink Of crater for
nearly a month. Until Sept. - is passed there
will be no rest in this afflicted city. Many men
had sent their families 10 New Orleans Savan-
nah, Macon and other cities embraced IN the
Virgins prediction, in the hope of being able
10 attend 10 their business. Their state OF
mind cannot be described.

virgins Predicts an Anful TIme.

Prof. Z. Stone Virgins, OF the Canadian
Meteorological Bureau, says that the 29th inst.
will witness one OF the most terrific subterra-
mean upheavsls ever known on this continent.
A belt from ocean 20 ocean on about the 30th
parallel, he says will be shaken up, and the
devastation 10 property will be something ter
rible at jacksonville, Fla; Macon and Atlanta,
Ga; Mobile, Ala; New Orleans. La, and Baton
Rouge, Miss. Houston, San Antonio and Gal
weston, Tex, will, in all human probability, be
more or less damaged. He predicts that New
Orleans. Macon and Mobile will be ruined, as
these cities are right in the path of the quake.
1t will be caused, he says, by shifting of the
earth's center of gravity, and this displacement
will be brought about by a conjunction OF
Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and our two satellites,
one being the visible and the other the invisible
moon. The latter is discovery of DIR. Wig
gins Walter Ii. Smith, President of the AS
Economical Meteorological Association for Can
ada agrees with Virgins in substance. He
says the shock will be ushered in by a heavy
storm in the West aud Northwest and rough
weather on the Atlantic coast.

Shot His Wife for a Burglar.

On the Whittemore ranch near Golden, Colo,
Sept. %. III. b. Whittemore shot his wife twice,
thinking she was burglar. The story of the
shooting. as told by Whittemore, is as follows:
"When we retired / had 800, with which
intended to pay a debt. l remember my wife
said she could not wear the new flannels she
had on and would have 10 change them. About
/ o'clock in the morning i was suddenly awak-
ened by noise in the ROOM and saw dark
form between me and the window. i immedi-
ately thought of my money, and was certain
that burglars were in the house. / raised my
self in bed and fired. The figure came straight
toward me, and fired again. We then clinched
and discovered that il was my wife, who had
got up to change her fiannels, and whom had
mistaken for thief" Mrs. Whittemore in
whose presence the story was told, was asked
if it was correct She nodded assent and tried
10 speak, but could not. The husband is almost
crazed with grief over the unfortunate affair.
The physicians say it is impossible for the
woman to recover.

Exhuustlng the Supply or Pine Lumber.

The Lumber Manufacturers Association held
its annual convention in Chicago last week.
The President, Mr.. A. q. Van Schsick, in his
address 10 the convention, said: THE tim
Der supply of the Northwest is far too small for
the prospective demand. Minnesota has not
sufficient pine timber for the future wants Of
her people alone. Wisconsin could not possibly
supply the entire future demand from Dakota,
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, aud
what our own people will consume. And how
long could Michigan and Canada supply the
demands from the remaining States and the
export trade with white pineY" Secretary
Hotchkiss said in his report that if the esti-
mates supplied by individuals were correct, the
lumber producing regions of the Northwest
had on Sept. hung up stock of from one and
q quarter 10 one and half billion feet of logs.

by a terrific clap OF thunder. In few mo-
ments black clouds of smoke were seen rolling
up from one of the oil wells on the Brotherton
land. The fire az once communicated with the
tank and in a few minutes all was on fire. At
the same time the gas in the tank, 300 yards
west, ignited The wells, all machinery, tanks,
and about 400 barrels of oil We're consumed.
At o'clock the rick at the gas works oil well
was struck by lightning, consuming the entire
structure, machinery, and tanks, and 1900 bar
rels Of oil. This well adioins the gas works,
which at one time was in great danger The rail-
road bridge was on fire several times, caused by
oil running down, but WAS saved without much
damage. About that time high columns OF
black smoke were seen southeast from the city.
Five wells are reported struck by lightning and
destroyed-the Hoge No. 2, Shockey, McLain,
Holmes and Bowman. Rain has been falling
in torrents The loss to the oil men thus far is
estimated al $500 Mrs Henderson, who
was standing in the doorway of her home, near

Loui,Iana,s Orange Crop a FaLlure.

The Louisiana orange crop is usually mar
keted about this time. Reports from the par
ishes in which oranges are principally grown
report that the crop is q complete failure this
year 1t usually averages from 30,OOO,OO0 to
100000 year, but will not be 100000 this
year, in consequence of the severe freeze last
Winter. The news is uniformly bad from
every portion of the State In some places
where 500 barrels were obtained last year
hardly barrel will be secured. A large pro-
portion of the Louisiana crop last year was
shipped North, but there is not enough now for
home consumption, and New Orleans will be
compelled to depend on California and Florida.

yet made for the relief of the sufferers by the
earthquake az Charleston is that voted by the
survivors Of Kearny's New Jersey Brigade at
Elizabeth n j., for the benefit Of the inmates
OF the Confederate Home at Charleston, which
was badly injured by the shock. The Union
veterans voted unanimously 10 dispense with
the band that always accompanies them TO the
annual Reunion Of the brigade at Gen. Kear-
ny's homestead, and 10 give the sum Of $50 in
stead 10 the object named. Commenting on
