The End Of Time To Come In rlay

The daily papers Of the state
about Two weeks ago contained a
prediction made by Mrs Nicely, of
Mprritt's creek, in Cabell county.
that the end of time so far as this
world was concerned would come
in May. says the Bluefeld, W. v,
Telegraph.
MRS Nicely has been continuing
her predictions, and although she
stated week ago at II meeting of
the Holiness sect, of which she is a
member, that this continent would
be convulsed and rent asunder by
earthquakes, and that great Giles
would fall and be consumed by fire
only a few who heard her paid any
attention to her representations
A gentlemen who has arrived
here from Merritt's Creek, informs
us that Mrs Nicely says the earth
quake which has done such appall
ing damage on the Pacific coast is
Just the beginning of the end, and
that the next shock will commence
on the gulf of Mexica at the lower
end of Florida and sweep the At.
lantic Coast states; and the fate of
San Francisco, will be the fate OF
the great eastern seaport cities
She further says that the middle
west vii be the scene Of an uplea-
val, and that the waters of the Mis-
souri, and the upper Mississippi will
fall into greet cIlasms. caused by
the earthquake, and meeting the
inner fires of the earth. cause the
greatest volcanic eruption witness
since this earth was in its forma-
tive period; since the great Appa-
lachian range and Rocky mount
aims were reared from the bottom
of the ocean.
All this she say will occur be-
tween this and the 18TH of Nav,
and upon that day or closely fol.
lowing, the grand final day will
come, wherein streams of molten
lava and boiling torrents of stream
ing hot water will blight and with
er and kill everything animal and
vegetable upon this and all other
continents.
Since Mrs Nicely's predictions
concerning the earthquake has
proved true, there are some pc 'plf
in that section who are very much
exercised while others say they are
from Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Insurance Losses.

The insurance involved in the
Chicago fire was about S100,0O0,0OO
and something like oue-half of it
was defaulted, dozens Of companies
becoming bankrupt.
1t is now estimated that the loss
es to the insurance companies from
the San Francisco fire will be rear
ly double that sum. yet the com.
panies are getting ready to pay, and
there is no fear that any company
will be seriously affected. In the
Chicago fire of 1871, only forty
companies were able to pay their
losses in full, while fifty-seven COM
panies went to the wall. The
number Of companies was 335, but
of this total many were so weak as
to be unable to face any confagra-
ton. By consolidation and growth
the mum Der is much less to-day and
the individual company is far more
than proportionately stronger. To-
day tie companies are figuring on
how to pay quickly, while in 1871
many small concerns were so en-
barrassed that they never figured
what their total liability was.
So says the New York Times. 1t
is an interesting story. 1t shows
how much stronger the cruntry
has grown in thirty-fve
years. 1t shows also what i'm
provements have been made In our
insurance methods. 1t was the
Chicago confagration. adds the
