MCCULLOUGH HIN CHICAGO.

Bound to Take the Stage Again.
 CHICAGO, Nov 11.-John Mccullough ar
 rived in this city this morning on the TAO
 train and went directly to the Chicago club,
 of which he is a member. He was alone and
 had little to say except that he was on his
 way to St. Louis to play in that city. He re-
 mained at the club only long enough to take
 breakfast, then left saying he must go to
 the depot and see that his baggage was prop erIy checked. Very few members of the
 club were about the rooms at the time of MT. McCullough's appearance. One gentleman was found, however, who said the tragedian was looking very we'll and appeared able to take care of himself. The servants, however, all of whom know the actor by sight, were doubtful of his correct mental balance One | or two of them expressed it as their opinion that Mccullough was 'Ea-little off.
 John Mccullough left for St. Louis to-day. ! At the Chicago 6 Alton depot he was terri blv agitated, insisting that he was to open 1 tonight in St. Louis in the Gladiator" and l that his wardrobe trunks must be checked without delay. After score of baggage men l had worn themselves out searching It was oe- yeloped that he had no baggage except valise. Mccullough was finally persuaded to l oct on board the train as it was pulling out 1 of the depot. Half a dozen people in St. Louis were asked by telegraph to meet him | on his arrival and care for his comfort and 1 safety.

COLD WAVE SIGNALS.

New Haven Display Station-The Cold Wave, CautIonary and OG- Shore Signals.
 U. s. SIGNAL OFFICE ]
 NEW HAVEN, Conn. To the editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The chief signal officer of the army having designated New Haven ''cold wave signal'' display station, this signal will hereafter be displayed when necessary from the summit of the Insurance building. A white flag with square black center will be used to indicate that a decided fall in tenn perature will acrue in the ensuing twenty four hours. Three arrangements of flags will, in the future, be shown-the ''cold wave," "cautionary'' and ''off-shore.'
 The cautionary signal, i. e., red flag with black square in the center, signifies that a wind velocity as high as twenty-five miles an hour will continue several hours within a radius of 100 miles of this city.
 The off-shore signal, l. e., both 8 red and a white flag in one hoist. indicates high off shore wind, Gone blowing from a northeast ly direction.)
 The probabilities of rain or snow are not considered in making these displays; what the meteorological conditions through out the country may indicate as to | precipitation is given to the public through l the mediums of the bulletins and the press l The two latter signals are especially for the benefit of mariners. It often happens that 1 although there may not be 8 severe wind at 1 this port there is danger of encountering it 1 off the coast The storm signal therefore demands general preparation for rough ! weather on the part of navigators about to sail, the frequent examination of ships 1n- | struments and study of local signs.

 LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov 1.-The day at noon was warm and sunny with the track in good order and under the eye of her new owner, Robert Bonner, Maud S. was sent down the track for the Woodburn farm cup to lower her record and beat the fastest time ever trotted. After little exercise trot she came down under the string like steady
 going tornado in horse hide. Every muscle was in perfect play. The speed was simply terrific. Bair signalled for the word. Bon ner gave it with a nod and gesture and down the track she sped while great crowd of turfrnen and many ladies held their breath. A subdued hum of admiration rose spontane- ous1y as she passed the first quarter in 324 seconds and sped on like swallow without a break down the track toward the half mile post. This she reached in 1:04 Here she was joined by her running mate and with terrific burst of speed she flew along the home stretch. She left the third quarter be- hind in 1:37. Many enthusiastic turfnen declare the sight of the beautiful mare skimming down the home stretch at the fastest speed ever allowed by trotter the most beautiful sight they ever enjoyed. Everybody held their breath in admiration and only caught it after the mare shot past the grand stand and under the string in 2:09I. The cheer that then arose was deafen- ing The handsome, reeking mare, gentle as lamb, seemed to understand that it was meant for her and with dropping head and nervously moving ears she received congra- tulations on every hand. Bair, her trainer and driver, was delighted. So was MT. Bon ner, who was the recipient of numerous con gratuIations on owning the fastest trotter in the world. The Woodburn farm, which of fers the cup, is the on which she was raised. This lowers her record 8 half second.
