THAT AWFl'L DAY. The Doom-Sealers Given Tad a Notoriety. The predicrionists and doom-sealers, led by tbe bicyclist, Dr. Smith, ami Rice, tbe begging boy evangelist, continue tbeir antics upon the street, corners.

They can always draw crowd of the curious, just as other' fakirs and itinerants do, but tbe impression which an alarmist San Francisco paper seems to desire to create, tbat there i- any general alarm in the city at the wild vaporing of the intellectual lightweights, has absolutely no foundation. That a few of Mrs. Woodworth's adherents will leave for tbe high ground, on before April 7th, is reasonably cer tain, but they will very ad vactageonsly be missed. If there were any way to keep them from coming back, steps would probably be taken for its adoption. Some of thedoomers have said that thev were selling out their worldly possessions at a sacrifice Probably most any of tbe junk dealers could bnj them all up without a great financial strain, but if any of them own realty of appreciable value they can be accommodated in tbeir desire to sell at most any of tbe rea' estate offices.

Tnere are plenty of capitalists willing to risk a few dollars on tbe subsidence) of things material, if a small profit on tbe transaction is possible. The colored evangelists have ceased their efforts at Ceuter-street station, at least, temporarily. WITHIN SIX MONTHS. The Electric Road to Be Poshed to Completion. James Gamble Klerted General Man aser and Contracts Awarded for Ties aod Kails.

It has been definilely determined tbat the overhead system of propul-ion will be adopted, though the patent under which the electricity will be applied has not been selected. Yesterday James Gamble was elected general manager of the company's affairs, and he is to bave immediate charge of the construction of tbe road. The work will probably be done "by the day," and many laborers will be given employment. The anticipated cost of tbe road is $25,000 per mile.

The week's engagement at the Oakland Theater began last evening, when a cbaroiing performance of Thomas' drama. The Burglar, founded upon the for children, "Editha's Burglar," was given.

In connection with the many bur glanes that are disturbing the peace nf the city, a couple of suspicious charac were arrested this morning by th police and the me.i irere imprisoned as suspects, no charge being entered against them.

In their possession was found a quantity of clothes, mostly new, and. on being interrogated as to where they obtained them, they stated that they bt-gaed tbem at different residences about the city. This story seems lame, however, as Ihe clothes have evidently not been worn, and people are not in the habit of giving away ptopertv of much value. In connection with the affair, the i olice say that if tbe people desire to give away clothes they should give them to the Associated Cliarites, wbitber all applications should be referred. Another tale of burglary has been poured into the ears of tbe police, the report bting made by William J.

Bradford, a foreman carp'enter, residing at 111 Hannah street. Bradford states that on Thursday last his residence was entered, during his absence, and $100 tbat he had placed for safe keeping in his trunk was taken. The police say, however, that nothing about the room appears to have been disturbed, aud that no one but Bradford knew of the money btinsr in the trunk. So it is not likely tbat a thief would be inspired to go directly to the place where the money was hidden. The statement of the robbing of tbe man in front of Franke's pickle factory is rejected by the police.

In connection with the attempted burglary at the Wf st residence, on Friday last, tbe facts of which were printed exclusively in The Tribvse, W. G. Miller, who resides on Webster street, immediately opposite the West residence, is in possession of facts cor-rdtoraiive tG ZlZZZ tC tT printed in these columns. He stated that, on the evening the attempt was made, he noticed two younc men about the street, one of whom he describes as a short young fellow of about 25 years of age. with a round, pleasant face, and dressed rather neatly at the other he could not get a' good look.

The individual described is the one who called at the West house and examined the rear under the pretext of obtaining something to eat, and who is therefore believed to be connected with the burglarious call later on the evening.

Myers, a warrant was issued for the arrest of their prophet and leader, George A. Erickson. When the officers went to serve it at Erickson's residence, 091 Pine street, tbey were temporarily foiled, for the prophet was out ai the Watts' tract, but they laid their plans so as to arrest him immediately on his return. He will be awarded quarters in the county jail, where his liberty wilt be restrained, not as a result necessarily of the desire to break up the street-meetings, but because it is alleged that Erickson is insane. Tbe proofs of his mental derangement are said to be contained in tbe prophecies issued by him (the articles of faith of the doom-sealers), which have been condensed into pamphlet fof-m and will be offered iu evidence against him.

The fo'lowing is the full text of hi remarkable statements, which, as it will be seen, will necesitate the selection of another site for the World's Fair: DOOM OF THE CITIES. wok! woe! woe! George A.
