= DOOMSDAY AT HAND.
Astrologers Have Announced the
End Of the World.
Prophecies of the Past That Have
Caused Great Terror to the Be-
levers of Certain ReIf-
EiOus Creeds.

Several prophets of the astrological
order have announced the coming of
the millennium during the year 1897.
Their prophecies are based upon I'M
usual events in the planetary system,
but to the lay mind these adroitly ad
duced reasons seem feeble causes for
such momentous upheaval. To
present these reasons is not the
object of this article, but to de-
scribe the panics caused in ruder
ages of the worlds history by similar
announcements of the comingof dooms-
day.
In olden times the dread caused by a
millennium prophet was worldwide,
affecting the rich and the educated
as well as the poor and the ignorant.
Nowadays the audience of the dooms-
day terror is very limited. comprising
the very ignorant. whose minds have
been perverted by fantastic religious
notions.
This was demonstrated most pc
culiarly in Atlanta. Ga. some three
years ago. when negro evangelist, ig-
Dorant but eloquent. announced that
the gOdly would be transplanted to
Heaven at Il certain hour in the after
noon of a certain day. For weeks be-
fore the date set for this phenomenon
he went among the poorer negroes eN-
horting them to prepare for the celes-
tial flight.
Hundreds Of his followers were
worked up to a state of tremendous
enthusiasm and displayed implicit
faith in the truth of the prophecy.
They went among their less cody rel
ativcs giving away all of their house
hold effects and clothing. The few who
had accumulated savings gave these
away. too.
On the day the great event was to oc-
eur they mounted. to the roofs of their
shanties and cabins i'll obedience to the
commands of the eNhorter, who had in
formed them that the angel could see
them more easily and get them to Heav-
en- quicker.
Although the flight was not to take
place until two o'clock in the afternoon
ell of them were up on the roofs before
daylight. They waited there patiently
in the heat of the broiling sun, anxious
hut confident.
Two o'clock passed, but the angels
came not. One of the negroes. who had
become frenzied with excitement, made
4 leap into the air as the bells of n near
by church tolled out the hour. He eN-
Eected to be waited to Heaven. but he
tell into the yard around his house and
broke his leg. When the ambulance
came to take him TO the hospital he
fought the doctors, explaining that the
angels would come and not find him.
The others waited and waited, some
of them until midnight. Then they be-
came sleepy and hungry and began to
lose faith. First one and then another
down and the exhorter disap-
peared. The next day there was tire
mendous excitement among the kin
dred of the godly ones. The latter
went about demanding the return of |
household effects, clothing and money.
Most of the recipients refused to return |
the treasures, and the civil courts were |
soon filled to OVERLOOKING with litiga- |
ton. Thus ended the prophesied flight |

ACCIDENT ON THE CORRALITOS.
An Engine And Fifteen Cars Down the
Embankment, Fifty Miles Out.

| The Corralitos road had its virgin
accident at p. M, Saturday, and
while the track is now clear, it will be
something of job to clean up after
the wreck, and the construction COM
pany will be greatly bothered in push
ing the work by being deprived of an
engine. The occasion of the wreck
was the spreading of the rail, due, it is
supposed, 10 the wind blowing the sand
ballast out from under the rail and
from between the ties and weakening
the track.
The engineer, B. H. Dowd, did not
see what was up until he was right on
to the bad spot and then mum Der TWEEN
ty struck out down the embankment
and across the country as though bound
to cross the desert without using the
rails. The train consisted of sixteen
cars loaded with material and Manager
RamSey'S private car with the man
ager. The entire train except one
freight car and the coach went down
the fill, and are so badly done up that
only the trucks are worth saving. OF
cour Sc the material is all right, and is
being fished up and sent on. The engine
is pretty much of a wreck, and it will
cost good deal to make her over
Number twenty is an unlucky machine,
and the men think she is hOCdOo-ed.
The Construction company has no
wrecking car of its own, so the G. II.
wrecker was sent for and is now on the
SPOT pulling the wreck back onto the
track. The engineer was bruised up,
and dislocated a shoulder. but no one
else was hurt
The company have been bothered so
by the action of the wind in dislod g.
ing the sand ballast, that they have
decided to ballast the road bed through
the desert with heavy gravel and ma
tural cement. and when this is done,
there will be no more trouble, wind or
no wind.
