SAN FRANCISCO, April 14-Acco"ding
to the prophecy of Mrs. Woodworth,
George Erickson and several other revival
lists who created considerable excitement
in Oakland some time ago, this was
the day on which San Francisco
and Oakland were to be de-
stroyed by an earthquake and a tidal
wave and the cities OF Chicago and Mil
waukee were to suffer the same calamity.
There have been no indications of any
convulsiOns of nature here but "doomseaI-
ers' as they have been termed had their
faith up to the last moment. Several hun
dred persons who believed in predictions
have been leaving Oakland for the high
ground during the past week or two. and
today they were encamped on the hills
near Santa Rosa, st. Helena and Va
caviIle, are holding religious services and
waiting for news of the destruction.

The Allegheny county torture chamber,

ward to-day before they adjourn. Each day the
Judges will lay out the work of the succeeding
day, and an effort will be made to carry out the
programme.
Rumors were rife on the streets last night as
to what the Judges would do. Many and varied
were the suggestions offered to the court. One

be Sold TO Pay Rent.
John c. Brosi, the alleged Southside
forger, is still missing. His friends disclaim
any knowledge of his whereabouts, although
it is thought he is in Steubenville. As he
only had S5 with him, which he had bor-
rowed from John J. Jordan, of the Juniata
Sand Company, he could not get very far
from the city. kilograms were sent to
Wheeling, Steubenville and several other
surrounding towns yesterday, but up to a late
hour last night he had not been heard from.
The news of Brosi's speculations, the full
particulars of which were published in yester-
days DISPATCH, was the one topic for con-
versation on the Southside all day yesterday.
People who had known Brosi for many years,
and who had never known of a breath of sus-
picion to rest on his character, were completely
dumbfounded. 1t is stated now that Brosi's
failure to succeed in business is the cause of
his fall little over year ago his Eastern
creditors secured judgments against him. and
his friends had to come to his rescue.
Mr.. j. E. Miller, the uncle, whose name ap-
pears on nearly all of the bogus notes, was seen
yesterday at his home on Bigelow avenue. He
said the only notes he ever Endorsed for BrOsi
were confined to two in number and only ag-
gregated about S3G0 He said also that he had
paid ABOUT S6UU In caSn at various times TO nelp
his nephew out of business difficulties. A story
was in circulation on the Southside last night
to the effect that Brosl'e father had paid $1,000
for him at one time. Mr.. }. Brosi was seen, but
he denied that he paid that amount at one
time. He said he had been helping his son out
of difficulties all the time and he could not tell
how much ne had paid for him.
The goods in BrosI's store have been attached
on a landlords warrant. 1t is claimed that his
rent for February and March is unpaid. The
officials of the German Savings and Deposit
Bank had intended 20 issue an attachment also.
but the stock in Brosi's store is said to be in
sufficient to cover what they have lost, and
they will not make any such move.
