WIGGINS’S WARNING,
HE PREDICTS A TERRIBLE DIS-
STURBANCE FOR THE 29TH.
He Declares That Atlanta Will be in
the Xine of Danger, and That
If aeon Will be Ruined—Flori
da Probably to be Swept
Under the Sea—Pre
liminary Symp
toms, Etc.
Xew York, September 21.—[Special
tks the Atlanta Constitution.]—The
fotlowing special, printed in the
Hosrald this morning, has created
-froasiderable comment here. Scien
tists here say it is guess work on the
part of Wiggins: _
Ottawa, Ont., September 20.—Pro-
T^sor E. Stone Wiggins, of the Me-
terological bureau, says that the
twenty-ninth instant will witness one
of^the most terrific subterranean up-
iaeavals ever known on this continent.
Inasmuch as Dr. Wiggins foretold the
Charleston earthquake, his prediction
ik regarded as worthy of weight.
Being seen by a reporter this evening,
hje said:
■‘•It is certain that an earthquake
will visit the southern states in this
month. The disturbance will cross
ffeo Atlantic, and will, in all proba
bility, alTect southern Europe. South
America will be liable to be affect-
*'ti, and the upheaval will be a severe
one. There is no danger from earth-
* ;-lakes in America until the twenty-
nenth instant, 'and even then the
* nrthquake's force will move from
«-ci.st to west, on a parallel .a few de
grees south of Charleston. If Charles-
t<m is visited this time it can only be
« « that day.”
A VAST HURRICANE. .
Being asked as to the parallel of
Altitude on which the disturbance
would take place, Dr. Wiggins re
plied that the activity would be con-
trued to the thirtieth parallel of
latitude, and would extend from
taeean to ocean. The shocks would
•siso affect San Francisco and the
* Pacific slope. North of parallel thirty
th.e disturbance will be meterological,
and will consist of a terrific storm
-—in fact a vast hurricane.
Phis will be especially severe
an the Gulf of St. Lawrence
arid the eastern provinces. If any
jfmall craft—such as fishing boats—
were caught, they would hardly es
cape: but such a warning has been
gi ven that it was not probable that
'Hiv would be out. The storm would
Le preceded in Ontario, Quebec, the
maritime provinces and New England,
Ly strong northwest winds on the
-6th and 27th instant. The 28th
would probably be fine—the lull that
precedes the storm. The disturbance,
though, will be terrific, and cannot
fall to produce widespread-devasta
tion. The force would be far greater
than, that which caused the recent
disturbance so disastrous to Charles
ton city, and the country -would be
tklike affected. The destruction to
property would be something terri
ble. Jacksonville, Fla., Macon and
Atlanta, Mobile, Ala., New Orleans,
ijid Eaton Rouge, La., Houston, San-
Aiitonio and Galveston, Texas, would,
m all probability, be more or less
1 amaged.
•-MACON IN THE PATH.
He predicted that New Orleans,
Macon and Mobile would be ruined,
these cities were right in the path
-of the subterranean and meterologi-
<*al phenomena.
When Professor Wiggins was asked
to what cause he attributed this ter
rible submarine upheaval, lie replied
Ihat it was produced by a shifting of
the earth’s center of gravity, and
that this displacement could be
brought about by a conjunction of Ju
piter, Saturn, Mars, and our two
■satellites—one being the visible and
the other the invisible moon. The
atter is a discovery of Mr. Wiggins.
He did not agree with the opinion en
unciated by Sir William DaAvson at
the recent meeting of the British As
sociation at Birmingham, that the
rayse was to be attributed to a con
traction of the earth's surface which
forms the bed of the Atlantic. There
would be no earthquake in Canada,
but there would be probably a tremor
in the province of Quebec. The dis
turbance would not commence any
where until two o’clock in the after
noon. There might be tremors up to
midnight, caused by the subsidence of
the earth’s crust after the great shock
had taken place. Dr. Wiggins ex
pressed himself as not at all surprised
if on that day several new volcanoes
•should burst out in Central America
and South America.

Walter H. Smith, president of the
astro-meterological association of
< Canada agrees with Wiggins in sub
stance. He says the shock will be
ushered in by a heavy storm in the
west and northwest, and rough weath

see great damage done in the district
south of the thirtieth parallel of lati
tude.
