WIGGiNs' SAY SO.
The Canadian Crank Out with An
other Prediction.

The Canadian prophet, Virgins, who
has mad so much to say during the short
time he has been known to the world,
about cyclones, has latterly turned his at
tention to earthquakes. He did not pre-
dict the recent seismic wave. but be says
ne would have predicted IT had ne known
as much about earthquakes then as he does
now. Never having encountered live, full
grown quake, and being totally ignorant
of seismology, he failed to get out pre-
diction until the wave had passed.
Determined not to be lett again, he now
comes boldly to the front and says there
will be another earthquake the latter part
OF the month, but he is kind enough to To-
late 1t on the extreme western edge OF the
continent, where earthquakes are of more
frequent occurrence and the people are
used to them.
About two weeks ago Mr.. John S.
Haines, OF this CITY, anxious to hear what
Virgins has to say, wrote TO him and
asked IL he thought there is any Likelihood
OF recurrence of the earthquake here.
Mr.. Haines yesterday received the follow
ing letter in reply:
OTTAWA, Sept. l5 1886.
Jobn s. Hrinss. Esq. Sd5fnHdh, Ga, u. s.
My DEAR SIR have just received your
favor of the llth inst in which you ask II 1t is
probable that the earthquake shock. recently
SO disastrous In the South, VIII again VlslI
you this autumn.
In reply beg TO say that the Charleston
wave has removed eastward, and from the
forces which produced that earthquake you
need apprehend no danger.
The most perilous period for America is
the 29th inst, when the greateet earthquake
force will be near the Pacific slope. IL will
also move eastward, and may pass you with
out danger. | confess, however, to a feeling
OF uneasiness with regard to that date. Iours
very truly, 4. STONE WIGGINs.
The letter is written on official paper.
bearing the coat of arms of Great Britain
and the seal OF the Finance Department
OF Canada. Virgins is a clerk in the
Canadian government service. 1t is not
improbable that he has read the story of
the Liberty county woman who fixed upon
Sept. 20 as the millennium and has taken it
as the basis for his predictions. Very few
people will attach any significance to
what he says. Virgins took 10 predict
ing the weather as means of obtaining
notoriety, and, like DeVOe. Vennor and
half dozen others. has managed to get
before the public in that way. Recently
he has switched off on to earthquakes,
but as yet he has not met with much sue
cess in his predictions. If he lives long
enough be may once or twice hit it right,
but the chances are against him.

AT THE THEATRE.
Ned Thorne, in the BLACK Flag
Plays to a Fair Audience.


The "Black Flag" was played before a
fair audience at the Theatre last night.
Ned Thorne had quite an ovation rendered
him and played the part OF ''Harry Glyn-
don," the village blacksmith, with
more finish and detail than when
last seen here. The play is not new to
Savannah tneatre-goers, but it is full
nf interest and amusement lovers
like IL. 1t is a remarkably clever
melodrama. There IS an unusual plumber
OF strong characters in the play, which
are taken in a bold, yet artistic manner
by thorough going and conscientious ac-
tors. The scene in Portland prison In the
third act, and the change to a sea view Of
the shore, Chissel Beach, were admirably
executed and won merited applause.
There has been an impression that Mr..
Thorne is not with the company, but
those who have ever seen him could not
fail to recognize bin last night In the
character OF old "Owen GlyndOu's'' son.
The company Will repeat the play to-
night.
