pretty, the husband honest and verdant.
The pair had been at the hotel some twenty
four hours, When the bridegroom walked
up to the clerk and remarked: That's my
wife that stops in the room with me. !" Eyes,

clerk. "Wcll, thought I'd mention it,"
continued the man, $50 you wouldn't think
it strange in my complaining. l never like

A number of tragedies are reported as

nary was the fatal stabbing of young
Frenchman, named Joiseau, by Jealous
husband, at No. Il West Ninth street
Yesterday morning a German named
Daniel Lietchman was stabbed by Thomas

In East 46th street Jas. McNarus quar-
relied with his wife, chased her down stairs
and during her flight fred four shots at
her. One of the bullets entered an oppo-

The wound was severe. The free shooter
was marched off to prison.
Thos. Mclaughlin was shot in the tight

The Uncertainties of Trade.
Wall street markets are unsettled and
depressed. kilograms from Washington
says the latest report was that the Confer
ence Committee on Garfeld's currency bill
had agreed to the new bills main features,
of which were the issuing of $45, 900, ,00C
additional bank currency; retirement oi
$40, 600, 600 three per cents; redistribu'
tion of $25, 900, 900 National Bank circu
lation, and probably binding on a golC
receipt. This caused general decline il
prices and an increased pressure to sell il

Some census takers who are noviciates
in such business give graphic descriptions
of their rough and tumble times in the
highways and hills and hollows of sections
of country and among people new and
strange to them. The work progresses
very satisfactorily, however.
From the Galveston Nelcs We learn that
Quntero, who killed Mr.. Maury in diff-
Guilty in New Orleans in 1858, and who
returned and voluntarily gave himself up
to the authorities, has been tried and hon
orably acquitted.
A heavy rain storm, accompanied with
severe lightning and thunder, visited our
city near o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The rain fell in torrents and the lightning
was very vivid, while the thunder peals
seemed to jar the very center of gravity.
From all sections of the country we hear
the most cheering and hattering reports of
the crops The wheat harvest is about
over and the yield is heavy, while the corn
and cotton crops are looking finely. ,Indi-
cations are that it will be a prosperous
year to the farmer and tifler of the soil. .

WARM WEATHER.
statistics Of Hot summer..

As the hot season approaches more
general interest becomes apparent in the
meteorology of the county, and the differ
ent degrees of heat and Geld at the various
points of the compass becomes a matter Of
common inquiry. 1t is mot generally
known by most Of our readers how far
back and with what careful accuracy the
weather statistics have been noted and
preserved. It is in this way that the
fluctuations Of the seasons and the changes
of decades have been arrived at. Accord
ing toearefully compiled statistics upon this
subject there has been no cold summer
since 1886, which was summer peculiar
ly distinguished By suroral exhibitions;
though, generally speaking, summers 50
marked are cool and backward The sea-
son of 1864 was, again, one of great heat;
1868 and 1869, also, taken all in al, afford
ed remarkable mean Of heat for three
months of the term. Both have, thus far,
been exceeded by the month of June
this season. The statistics of Nurem-
burg afford pretty accurate obser-
vations of European summers for seven
centuries or more. In 1142al the streams
and wells of Alsacia were dried up, and
even the bed of the Rhine was dry !;
1852 was hot enough to cook eggs in
sand exposed to the sun 1160, hun
dreds of soldiers in the campaign
against Bella, fell dead with heat 1916
and 1877, heat destroyed even the grass
crop; 1903 and 1904, the rivers Seine,
Loire, Rhine and Danube we're so dry that
man could cross them dry-shod; 1898 and
1894, harvest wholly withered by heat
great numbers of animals dying of ~
intensity; 144O, extraordinary heat again.
In 1889, 1540, and 1541, the rivers mem
toned we're wholly dry a second time; and
in 1856 general drought pervand all Eu-
rope; 1915 and 1916 were summers of terrible
heat; and in 1888, for the third time, the
beds Of the great rivers were dry. In 171s
it did not raic from April to October, and
the rivers mentioned were again dry; 1918
presents the greatest number of consecu-
tive days of extreme heat on record-the
mercury going up to 40 for ffty-eight
consecutive days, and several times pass
ing the 112 Fahrenheit
