A special from Hartford, Conn., says: It
is now slated on good authority that Geo.

this was a fact was a statement made by a
friend of T. F. I'hinkott to the effect that
Bartholomew was tho cause of his down
fall. Whou Plliukott's father died his sou
was left over 500,000. Ho invested it with
itartliolouiuw and all went, l'luukott then
forrovenro induced Ilartholomow to put
his name to a largo amount and when liius
secured he turned about and left Urn latter
in tlio lurch. Tho auditors of tlio Churtoi
Oak Life company are severely criticised
for their carelessness, as $l!i, 000 oi funds

is that so long as tho Indians can ho kept

At White Uak Point tlio Indians were

Southern Cities Refuse to Dhapjtear. as
Prophesletl by Wiggins.
Chnr'eatoti special: The newspapers and
scientists had done all that could be done
to counteract tho uneasiness caused by
Wiggins' prediction of convulsions to-dny,
but no amount of nssurnncc could restoro
confidence to a people whose nerves hnd
been shaken so terribly ns were those of
tho people of Charleston. Thoshnrpshocks
on Monday and Tuesday made hundreds ot
converts to tho Wiggins predictions, nnd
when day dawned this morning it was upon
a community standing iu imagination upon
Hie brink of a Karful calamity.
r As a matter of fact tho day passed with
out event. The usual tremor which occurs
almost- every twenty-four hours was not
felt, nor were there any signs of Hie nieteo
rologie disturbances predicted by the Cana
dian prophet. The weather was warm, but
tlio day was bright and clear, witli no signs
ot ruin. There is nnturally a widespread
feelings of relief to-night, fraught, however,
with some uneasiness. Tim people, how
ever, can afford to laush at Wietrins. and
morrow everybody will no to work with
brave hearts and renewed hope and confi
dence that the worst is over.
Up to 1 1:110 o'clock thero hns not been n.
slight earth disturbance felt hero, and tho
noii-Iiilliiiiicnt of Prof. Wiggin'sjri-edictions
so far has caused a foelilii: ol meat relief
throughout the community. A eond denl
of apprehension and anxiety prevailed dur
ing the forenoon, pai lictilarly as tho
w-wwiur was (pule sultry, with little wind,
ami Hie general atmospheric conditions
wero tip areutly quite as favorable for a
severe shako as on any day since the dis
turbances commenced. As tlio day wore
on, however, toward sunset, without even
tho usual slight tremors, which have been
experienced about every twenty-foiirhours,
tho intense nervous strain became gradu
ally relaxed and most of the people now
think Hie danger is past.
This day has been anticipated witli a,
great deal of fear by hundreds of anxious
people in Charleston. For Hie Inst threo
or four nijhts tlio ,-olored churches have
been crowded witli v jrshippers and several
revivals are new in progress among theso
people in Hie city. Even the most cour
ageous have felt soi id dread at the ap
proach or the 29lli, and tilth. uuh they
have earnestly asserted Hint they did not
believe in Wiggins, 11 ,v have" all fell that It
would bo more etunfortnhlo to live in
Charleston after the 2i)th. Local scientists
wlio have given great study to the subject,
say Hint thero is no danger of a recurrence
ol tho Heavy shocks, ami tlio couiniunity
will surely settle down after to day, unless
there should be unexpected manifestations
of disturbance.
Wiggins predicted Hint I he performance
would begin at ? p. nt. to-day. The earth
quake wuvowti' ' move from east lowest,
reaching as far north as S.ui Francisco on
the west consr, although above tho thir
tieth parallel of latitude on the eastern
const there was to bo no trouble beyond
Hoveio storms, and possibly hurricanes. Its
force would be far greater than that which
cnu-ed Hie recent distiirhauroHo disastrous
to Charleston, nud Hie country would nlike
bo affected. The tlevnstn I ioii to property
would be something terrible at Jackson
ville, Fin., Macon nnd Atlanta, Git.. Mobile,
Ala.. Now Orleans and Hilton House, La.,
Houston, San Antonio and Galveston,
Tex., would in all human probability bo
moro or less damaged. He predh led that
Now Orleans, Macon, ami Mobile would be
ruined, as those cities were rmht in the path
of the subterranean and meteorological
phenomena.
