Since the establishment of the germ theory

she does this in order to console me for

A GEORGIA PICKANINNY.
Twelve Years Old, But is n Preacher
of Much Power.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Farmland, Ind. Jan. 2-The colored
people of this section are greatly excited
over the prophecy of Ralph Pixley that
the world will come to an end on the
morning Of Jan g. Pixley, who recently
came from Georgia, is wonder in many
ways. He is only u years old, and can
not read or write, yet he can quote Scrip
ture correctly, and as a preacher is ex-
erting a powerful influence over the col
ored people.
At the conclusion of each sermon he
simply waves his hands and motions to-
ward the mourners bench, when the
whole settlement gather in a dense mass
around the boy preacher, and soon make
the old frame church shake with their
mighty shouting, singing = and praying.
The youth claims that he has been sent
bV divine power TO warn sinners to pre-
mare for the day of Judgment which he
SAYS will be on Thursday, Jan o. 1896. He
claims that the END of the world will
surely come on that morning, and that all
who do not make the proper preparation
within the next nine days will be con-
der1ned to everlasting punishment.
He offers no Biblical proof for his
prophecies but claims that they were re-
Vealed to him by divine power. He in
formed his eager listeners last night that
the Savior would appear in His golden
chariot on the morn ing of Jan. 9, and
give the colored race the highest seats
in His new kingdom.
Many of the colored people are disposing
of their earthly possessions for a mere
pittance, and deVoting their entire time
they believe will be announced on the
morning of the 9th, when the day Of
judgment will be ushered in.
Pixley never attended school day in
his life. His language is at times elo-
quent, while his peculiar dialect only adds
interest to his prophecies.

Many Heroic Acts Performed.

Many heroic acts were performed in
the saving OF lives as result OF the
storm. When the City of Monroe had
listed away from the Anchor line wharf
there were about 40 passengers on
board and a full crew, as the boat was
just making ready for the trip to New
Orleans. When the mornings finally
gave way the boat lurched over on its
side and nearly capsized The move
ment threw nearly all the freight to the
starboard side and served to hold the
boat in its perilous position. Can't
Viegler made reassuring speech to The
passengers, which slightly quieted The
extreme excitement. He said they were
all safe. When the boat struck the Illi-
nois bank the captain was not to be
found.
The crew of the tug Dolphin No. 2
had marvellous escape from drowning
when the boat was blown from it's moor
ings at he foot of Washington avenue.
On board were three men and two
women, the latter Jennie Mitchell, a
cook, and Emma Nolan, cham bermaid.
When the storm broke the men were
on deck and the women below. The
mate saw that the storm was to be a
hard one, and began to ring the alarm
bell. Then the steamer Dragon, which
left its moorings, was blown out into
