S03. The individual liabilities of John +.

CAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE.
The great difference between the nominal

OF which is put down at 49, 900, and the mis-
cellaneous accounts receivable, the nominal

described as worthless. The difference be-
tween the individual, nominal and actual

San Francisco and Other Cities Es-
cape Predicted Destruction.
SAN FRANCISCO, April IA. 4.--According to
the prophecy of Mrs. Woodworth, George
Erickson and several other revivalists, who
created considerable excitement In Oakland
some time ago, this was the day on which
San Francisco and Oakland were to b. de-
stroyed by an earthquake and tidal wave,
and the cities of Chicago and Milwaukee
were also to suffer the same calamity.
FAILED OF FULFiLLMENT.
There has been no indication Of any con
vulsions of nature here, but the ''doom
sealers," as they have been termed, have
evidently held their faith in the prophecy
up to the last moment. Several hundred
persons who attended Mrs. Woodwor1h's
lectures and became believers in her pre-
dictions of destruction have been leaving
Oakland for the high ground during the
past week or two, and today they were
enramped on the bills near Santa Rosa, st.
Helena and Vacaville, holding religious
services and waiting for news Of the de-
structiOu.

The Steamer Disaster at Saginaw In

SAGINAW, MICH, April 1.-The accident
to the steamer Handy Boy yesterday seems
to have been the result of gross negligence.
The man at the wheel was inexperienced
and the current carried the boat so rapidly
that he lost his head at the decisive moment
and turned the wheel in the wrong direction.
In his excitement he then tried to signal the
engine to stop, but instead he signaled go
ahead full speed" The boat struck bridge
and all her upper works and passengers
were swept into the river.
SEVEN DROWNED.
Many we're rescued by small craft put
ting out from the shore, but some were lost.
The number is believed to be seven, but as
no bodies have as yet been recovered it is
impossible to say with any certainty. Some
twelve or fifteen persons were slightly in
jured. The wheelman, fireman. and en-
gineer are under arrest. Capt. Dolson
made his way ashore Immediately after the
accident, and has not yet been apprehended.
