PROCLAIMED HIMSELF CHRIST.
But Was Sent to the Lunatic Asylum
s. Z. Examiner, l3.

ps L. EAdLlluCls lOs
Henry Warmbold, of Astoria, Oregon
astronomer, astrOloger, physiognOmistr
phrenologist, evolutionist and theoso-
phist, was arrested Saturday night at the
Masonic cemetery.
Professor Warmbold is above the me-
dunn height, has long fair hair, which
curls at the end, and long beard. while
mild and gentle expression pervades
his countenance.
To DR.. Phelan he stated yesterday
morning, that he had been arrested III
an invocation to Isis and Osiris, by which
he had intended saving the world from
destruction.
"You know, DOCTOR" said he, "that my
latter life has been devoted to astronomy
p perfectly. Why I came to be operating
IN San Francisco will explain"
"You know, sir, that / am a theoso-
phist, and that have reached the remin-
iscent period, and remember 1000 years
ago. At that time / was Jesus Christ,
and vainly supposed that / had come to
save the world. 1t was an error"
''The proof of what I say may lie estab-
lished by the fact that on my fOrhtad
feet, hands and over my heart, l bear
the marks which l received On the cross
1000 years ago"
"In my latter career / have been fish
erman at Astoria, but by the transmits
sion of thought / was notified that my
affinity lived in San Francisco, and be-
ing thus warned l gave up my occupa-
but invisible, powers of nature.
"On reaching this point the same pow
or directed me to the Masonic cemetery,
where found the gates swung ajar and
the maiden of my dreams awaiting me
with outstretched arms"
''She knew me at glance by the pow
ers of transmission of thought, and we
communed."
From that day to this We have con-
stantly communed. When l reach the
cemetery and she is not there look up
on the earth's surface and find stone,
and on this stone she has transmitted
her thoughts, which read"
What do you know of astronomy and
astrology?"
"This: The planetary system is in a
ferment, and am the man destined to
save the world again. My affinity, who
is the essence of beauty, commands Isis,
or the moon, while l command Osiris,
the sun. Together We can cause con-
junction which would be to the worlds
advantage, as DOCn sun ana moon nave
had family quarrel which must result
in fatal explosion unless the trouble is
put at rest"
'On Saturday night l had builded a
fire, my affinity stood by my side III
spirit, Isis had come at my command,
Osiris was surlily obeying my call, when
the callous limbs of the law lay their ir-
reverent hands upon me. was arrested,
thrown III jail, and the result must come
deplore it, of course, but it is unayoid-
able"
"That's enough" said DIR. Phelan. one
of the commissioners of insanity. My
good man, We will have to send you to
Stockton"
II expected as much," said the pro
fessor. II am too learned. Two thous-
and years hence 1 shall come back to
save the world. 1t is not my fault but your
own cruelty that do not do it now, but
you know, doctor, through all ages, mans
inhumsnity to man has made countless
thousands mourn"
The attendants placed him in the van
and one more patient WAS added to over
crowded Stockton.

A Denial of Adverse RumOrS.

A contemporary recently stated that
Coast railroad would shortly be discon.
to proceed"
"This statement is untrue" said Will
liam Reid, president of the Astoria and

tinuing work the company has two sur
veying parties. OF sixteen men each, in
The field. One party has surveyed and
located twelve miles from tue Se..SiJe
junction to the summit of Lewis and
Clarke river. The other party has sur
veyed from the summit of the Lewis and
Clarke down to the Nehalem river valley,
and has reached Jewell, thirteen miles
distant, through an immense body of
timber, finding the summit to be 1900
feet high, and requiring tunnel of only
800 feet at the top. This party is now
proceeding on the way southerly to the
Willamette valley"
"a contract has been let by the Pa
cific Construction company to w. H.
Parker to complete the entire grading
and rock work for seven and half miles
from the Seaside up the Lewis and
Clarke, to be finished by Christmas; an
other contract, for the same distance,
for the clearing has been let to H. LIE
fevre, at the rate of $1,000 per mile, in
Guiding grubbing; another contract has
been let to Charles II. Ewing for the
grading from the Ocean house to Grimes
