EARTHQUAKES PREDICTED.
Virgins Modifies Ris Awful Prophecy
and McGee says 1t Is Absurd,

and MCGEE Says IL Ii Absurd.
ATLANTA, Sept. 22.-The prediction
OF Professor Virgins has created quite
q scare, particularly s1k0ng the negroes
OF this section. As will be seen by the
following telegram from Professor
Wiggins, that distinguished authority
somewhat wiagles from his fret pre-
diction, and locates his shock of the
10Th on territory far enough away to be
OF NO serions consequence to the South
Atlantic States. The Constitution tele-
Rraphed Professor Virgins At his home
In Ottawa, Ontario, asking II he still
stood by bis pi edictions as published In
the New York Herald, and II he had
anything TO add for the warning or con-
ISOLATION Of the region which sits above
the path Of his projected subterranean
disturbance. The Professor replied:
"OTTAwA, Ont. Sept. 22.-The earth.
quake wave that visited Charleston and
your region August 80 has moved east
ward, and from 1t there can be no
future danger. The shocks there yes
terday were caused by the sun moving
across the celestial equator. There is
positively no danger from earthquakes
In your latitude east Of the Rocky
Mountains, except on Wednesday next,
and even that force will pass westward
ON parallel south of you. The greatest
danger 10 to Central America, South
Auerica and California. The forces
that create the earthquake will cause q
great storm with htxh tides. both in
the North and South atlantic, on We'd
nesday next, which, however, will not
be felt In forty degrees OF the equator.
"E. STONE WIGGIrs f"
Professor McGee telegraphs the fol-
lowing to the Constitution:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. % NO
attention whatever should be paid to
Virgins predictions. You will remem-
Der that he is the same man who, a fe "
years ago, predicted hurricanes, foods,
earthq quakes, volcanic eruptions, wars,
pestilences and famines all over the
earth and that never came In response
to his predictions. His predictions OF
that day were based, as his present pre-.
diction is, on the conjunction of princi.
pal planets 1t proved to be absurd
then and will prove to be absurd now.
