WHO FELT THE EARTHQUAKE ?
New York, 1t Was Predicted, Would
Be Rent Asunder To-Day.
Buildings Seem to Be Safe and Pro-
fessor Falb Is Missing.

Don't get excited IL you feel the ground
trembling under your feet to-day. The
trembling may mean that Prof. Falb's
prediction that New York is to be des-
troyed by an earthquake to-day is COM
ing true, or it may not. If you are
Sporty and are cocksure that the
trembling is not in your knees instead
of the ground, hurry right down to Park
Row, just opposite the north end of the
Post-Office, and place a bet with the
bookmaker you will find standing there.
This bookmaker is Offering 100 to that
Falb isn't in 1t at the finish of the day.
Now, Prof. Falb is an Austrian
prophet Of more or less renown, and he
is running a close race with Prophets
Virgins and De Voc in predicting dire
things which he declares the fates are
about to precipitate upon this unhappy
tariff-tortured continent. and particu-
larly upon New York City.
There Is some doubt as to the present
whereabouts of Prof Falb, but 1t is safe
to presume that he isn't in New York
to-day II he has any faith in his own
prediction.
His forebodings of evil were given to
the Western world through the medium
Indiana. This fact, however, should not
give rise to a suspicion that Prof. Falb
- press agent in disguise for ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, for had he meant to pre-
dict a political earthquake he would
have fixed the time in November instead
Of in August.
To allay whatever OF fear may have
been occasioned by the reprinting OF
Prof. Falbs prediction In Eastern news
papers, 1t is only proper to state that
Uncle Sans paid weather manipulators
in this city, who are up to the tricks
Of the elements themselves and quick to
discern nasty move on the part of any
or all of them. having examined their
'futures,, vainly in search of an entry
relating that this Is our day to shake"
If these local prophets are to be be-
iieved. Prof. Falb's prediction is easily
explained. They contend that the pro-
lessor must have gotten into one of the
malarial swamps for which Indiana Is
noted, and collected fine large assert
ment of "chills," otherwise fever and
ague, and that in tabulating his 'chiil'
days he has gotten his dates mixed
with his predictions. So, while we are
waiting here to be shaken into the next
world, the professor may be enjoying
In Indiana the shivers he mistakenly set
down for New York.

HUNGER AND BLOWS.
That Treatment Recommended by
Weinstein for His Daughter.
Dora Has Been Leading a Disor-
DERBY Life.
Young and Maynard Girl Arrested
by q Gerry Officer.

Let my daughter starve. Instead of
food. give her stripes until the blood
flows. Let her rot in dungeon"
Such were the EXPLANATIONS uttered
thsi morning by Isaac Weinstein, an old
man living at 2l5 Madison street. They
were not merely wild calculations, but
were addressed suppliantly to Officer
Gormley, of the Gerry Society, who had
come to ask Weinstein what disposition
he intended should be made of his daugh-
ter Dora.
Dora. who became fourteen years Old
on May ID last, had been arrested yester-
day by Officer Gormloy as a witness
against two women charged with her
abduction for disorderly purposes. One
OF these women. Mrs Amelia Hoffman,
was held yesterday In the Essex Market
Court in $1,000 on charges of abduction
and keeping a disorderly house at %
Orchard street. The other woman Is
still at large, and only her given name,
Yetta, Is known to the police.
Gormley says that this Yetta brought
Dora to Mrs. Hoffman's house. where
the young girl was induced. for the
past two weeks, TO ply most nefarious
traue. Dora, III the mean time, had
been pretending to her father that she
was at work in cloak establishment
at % Ludlow street. but subsequent in
uiry showed that there was not a shop
In that house at all.
AT O'Clock each evening Dora used
to come home, saying that she was tired
out by work and begging her father 10
wake her up early the following morn
Ing, as she was expected at her work
bench at O'Clock.
In this way the child eluded suspicion
until officer Gormley discovered her
manner of life at 90 Orchard street and
placed her under arrest.
Dora sister, Fanny, is nineteen years
old and very handsome. She is spoken of
with the greatest respect by all the
neighbors. On hearing of her sisters
disgrace Fanny nearly tainted. Seeming
~, however, she is young woman of
fine feeling, and while trying to calm her
father said that Dora was not bad at
heart and might yet be redeemed.

.0DETTE TYLER BACK AGAIN.
Her Name on the Havel Passen.
ger List as Frau Kirkland.
She Is Not Engaged Again to How
ard Gould, Says Her Father.

On the passenger list of the North
German Lloyd steamship Havel, which
arrived from Bremen last night, is the
name, Frau Kirkland, America" When
an Evening World" reporter showed
this name this morning to Gen. William
II. Kirkland, the father of Miss Bessie
kirkland. whose stage name is Odette
Tyler, he said:
she had arrived yet. was expecting
her on the Teutonic. I know that 1t is
she, however, for l see on the list the
name Of Miss Hallmark, with whom she
was to sail"
Gen. kirkland said that his daughter
had probably gone into the country but
that he did not know exactly where.
Odette Tyler, 1t will be remembered, is
the actress whose engagement to How
ard Gould, the third son of the late Jay
Gould, made such stir The engage
nsnt was afterwards broken and Miss
Tyler went to Virginia, and subsequently
sailed for Europ..
Howard Gould also went TO Europe,
and the rumor came pack that the en-
gagement had been renewed abroad.
When Gen. Kirkland's attention was
drawn to the fact that his daughters
name was printed in the passenger list
as Frau, or Mrs, kirkland, he said
oh that Is mistake. She is Miss
kirkland, and is not married"
1T Is rumored that her engagement to
Mr.. Gou'l has been renewed. Do you
know II the rumor Is correct?"
1T is not. There is no more truth in
the statement that my daughter has re-
'newed her engagement to Mr. Gould than
there would be In report that i am

to, her. but, to the entire family" he

Charles Frohman said that he had

Teutonic, as she had cabled that she
would be in America on Aug. II. He
was very glad that she had reached

envy of Music. Mr.. Frohman had not

The Chinese fleet, according to the

In Japan, the despatch adds, the war

ince OF Manchuria.

YOKOHAMA Japan, Aug. ia notice
has been issued TO the effect that the
revision of the treaties between Japan
hand forthwith.
The essential features of the revision
will be that foreigners will not have
the right OF trial In their own Consular
courts: that the Government will confer
upon foreigners certain privileges In re-
gard to the tenure of land and the right
of settlement, and foreigners will also
have certain privileges in regard TO tex

The foreigners here are greatly con-
cerued at the proposed revision, and
are strongly OF the opinion that the
time has not arrived when their inter.
ests can be left to the Japanese.
