swELrERiNd HEAT.
THO gTorrid Wave That Makes Every
10y body UncomforfabIe.

"Phew amt IL hot?" was the popular
expression on all sides to-day, and human
beings and beasts of burden sweltered in
the broiling sun, reminding one of the oc-
casion of which the poet prated when he
wrote N
Twas n very hot day in the month of July;
The sun fairly Kissed In an unclouded sky ;
But y rev ventured out meath the wrath of
Their stomuchs to thaw with iceiwater and
~ creams J. p. NJ + AAt--
On that very hot day in July.
But Just here we may state that the "hot
day in July" wasn't marker alongside of
to-day. Old Sol took header when he
bobbed up this morning and set out ON his
daily tour, and while 1t was admitted that
yesterday was scorcher, to-day took the
cake. But we have the sweet consolation
from the Signal Office that
Cool Wave is Coming
from Manitoba. 1t has been telegraphed
from Chicago. In yesterdays dispatches
the hottest place In the United States heard
from was Danville, ILL.,, where the ther-
momcter registered 1889. The highest point
reached here yesterday was 1909 Mt
o'clock p. IN. The same limit was reached
here to-day at 1 o'clock. But, as we said
before, the cold wave is coming. So is
Christmas. The weather bureau says the
cold wave now about to throw the people OF
the Northwest into charming state OF
frigidity will probably extend tomorrow
over the Middle States and New England.
We hope so. - t..,. ,.,....,....

The spectacle which Conkling pre-
sents to an observing world is not an
improving one. There are only two
possible theories under which this res
ignation could be regarded as less than
idiotic. One is that he really believed
his usefulness TO his State had ceased,
and that it was his duty to make way
for some man who could serve New
York better than he. The other is that
he was in doubt as TO the sympathy Of
his State with his position, and honestly
desired to have its approval or condem-
nation under circumstances which
would leave it perfectly free to approve
or condemn.
If Conklings resignation had been
prompted by either of the motives sug-
gested, it would have had some Of the
elements of grandeur and heroism. lie
would have set an example worthy OF
imitation by all Statesmen and public
servants. He would have relieved the
six year Senatorial term of the chief
objection brought against it. But the
result shows that neither of these laud-
able motives actuated him. lie was
not anxious to make way for some man
who could serve the State better for
he had no sooner sent in his resignation
than he began to intrigue for re-elec-
ton. And he could not have desired
an honest expression, for his guidance,
of approval or disapproval for he Is
still intriguing for reelection, notwlth-
standing the most emphatic expression
of disapproval a State can make. For
man who has held himself so high,
his position is truly humiliating.-Fre

JOHN M'sWEENEY MURDEROUsLY
ASSAULTED.
Stunned by a Terrible Blow In the Dark.

-
WOOSTER, June 5--A daStardly attempt was
made last night to take the life Of our distinguish.
ed townsman, Hon. John McSweeney. As he was
on his way home, about IL o'clock, some un-
known villain sprang upon him when but few
steps from his own door, dealing him a terrible
blow on the head with some blunt instrument.
Fortunately the blow was misdirected and did
not knock him down. Mr.. McSweeney turned
upon his assailant who took to his heels and sue.
Ceeded in escaping, although his victim pursued
him. McSweeney rushed on down street in a
dazed and bewildered manner being met near
the square by some friends, to whom he told a
confused story Of what had happened. These
friends took him in charge and conducted him to
his home, when Dr.. Robson was called. The
doctor found confusion below and to the left Of
the right ear about an inch In diameter small
blood vessel ruptured and the scalp slightly cut,
The blow was on part OF the head where 1t
could produce confusion Of the MIND The wound
was dressed, and although Mr. MCSWeeney passed
restless night, he is feeling better this morning.
and nothing serious resulting from the blow lie
now apprt hended. MoSWeeney did not recognize
his assailant.
There are several theories as to where the at.
tack came from. 1t is thought by some that some
OF Callahan's friends made the assault. Mr.. Nc.
Sweeney aided the prosecution In the trial OF
Callahan, who was convicted and hung for the
murder OF John lOrmie, aud during the trial and
since then 1t is said that he received letters con
tanning threats against his life. Last night after
the affair happened parties were heard to shout
Calahan's name In different parts OF the city.
Others trace the cause Of the attack to the enmity
which McSweeney eugendered IN the Shaffcr di.
vOrce case which he recently managed for Mrs.
Shafer. Still others think that some enthusiast
on the side of E s. Dowel, in the Parsons Dowcll
contest for the Common Pleas Judgeship of this
district, was the assailant These theories your
correspondent has heard expressed quite fire..
quently to-day by different persons. There is no
clue as to who he was, and hence no arrests have
been made. The affair has produced quite sen.
sation here. A reward Of $500 has been offered.

A BOY MURDER.
An Extraordinary Case Of InfantIle Depraylty at
Lancaster, Ohio.

LANCASTER, June 5.-This city Is greatly ex.
cited this morning and has been since last night
by most extraordinary murder committed at
O'Clock last evening near the brewery Of Becker
q Co. The facts 8, far as they have been gathered
seemed to be about as follows Christian Stracke,
a lad Of II, in company with some other boys,
was on his way to st. Peters Lutheran Church,
where he pumps the organ. Near the brewery
he passed knot Of boys, and between them
there was some Of the usual badinage that paises
between boys on the Streets Without a word OF
warning and without any apparent provocation,
little boy aged l3, Eddie Killbarger by name,
ran out Of the second squad of boys and plunged
long, slender knife blade into Stracke's chest.
It pierced his heart, and with a single gasp he
fell dead in the arms Of a companion. He was
carried into the brewery and medical aid sum.
moned, but 1t was too late to serve any purpose
The body was permitted to lie at the brewery un
til the Coroner was summoned. Strakes mother
was almost raVing maniac during the night
and this morning.
The youthful murderer was interviewed in his
cell last evening. He says that young Stracke
always kicked and abused him, and that lust be-
fore the sta0bing stracker struck him and ca led
him a son Of b-h. He kept on hitting me
and cut him, Ia downward strOkel, and he step,
had on coat and vest He leaned up against
the wall for five minutes or more, when he said
he was going home and tell on me. He took
couple Of steps and fell, and wouldn't speak any
more and Charlie Null came out and carried him
into the brewery, l don't know whether cut
him bad or not; didn't feel the knife go in, nor
didn't see any blood on the blade We were
plsymates, only didn't like him very we'll as
he was always kicking me about. When came
by he said he was on his way to church. Yes,
know he is dead and feel pretty bad: only he
oughtn'I to have knocked me that way and called
me son OF b-h"
The boy is unusually small for his age, but
brightfaced, dark.eyed, intelligent little fellow,
and son OF Mike Killbarger a brewery hand.
The murdered boy was fourteen years Of age
and much larger than the Killbsrger lad, and 1t
is said they have engaged in numerous spats and
scufles,
The Coroner completed his inquest, the verdict
being that the deceased came to mis- death by the
thrust Of knife in the hands OF Edward Kill.

Klllbarger had preliminary hearing before
Mayor Rainey this afternoon, and was sent to
jail to await court, with the charge Of murder In
the first degree standing against MIN.
