Chattanooga Times. It. A. Williams, better know as “Peg,” Tho English AitrwniiieM Shows <Jp Wiggins fully. St. Lome, 8 -ptemher 28.—The English astronomer, Richard A. Proctor, in an ar ticle contributed to the Globe-Democrat, entitled “Wiggins’s Prophecy," hjijs: “It appears to me shameful that any man, even though he be not a student of science, and therefore fully aware of the mischief bo is doing, should spread abroad predic tions of coming disaster in such sort that colored folks are likely to be disturbed and terrified. Wiggins, a half educated and wholly unscientific employee of the meteorological office in Ottawa, has long endeavored to acquire a cheap reputation by weather predictions of that kind, which of itself assures students of soienco that the weather prophet is cither utterly ignorant or exceed iugly knavish.” After noting several instance* of the failure of former )rediction8 made by Wiggins, Hr. Proctor asserts that tho termer’s alleged discovery of a second moon is but a re in veution, an adopted discovery, and sus tains his statement by quotations from lice and M. Petit, of Marseilles, and shows that the existence of a second lunar body similar to oor visible moon is impossible. Wiggins,” continues the writer, “claims haw pn (lictfil the earthquake of August 31st, hut truly ho has so continuously threatened storms and earthquakes that no great disturbance of either sort could htcer clear of his predictions. He now loudly proclaims that on tho 29th there will bo another great earthquake, one of the most Ur rifle HUhiesranean upheavals ever known on thia continent. lie knows that such a prediction will attract attention for while to his nftin*, hnt that if no disturbances should take place on tho 29th or near enough to that date to seem like tho fulfil ment of his predictions, people will soon forget tho failure of his prophesy and be a» ready as ever to listen to him egain.” Mr. Proctor thinks it exceedingly prob able that no great earthquake will occur in the Charleston region tor yoars, possibly centuries.
