Temporary Insanity.

NEW YORK, July 19-Capt Gulian
| Won Plank Weir, commanding the battery
| in the Fifth artillery at Fort Hamilton,
committed suicide last evening by shooting
himself through the head The circum-
stances of the tragedy are peculiar. On
Saturday his entire family, consisting of a
wife and four daughters and son, were at
the wharf TO meet him before his departure
He had complained of a serious bronchial
affection, but on his return assured his fam
ily that he was much better and that he was
sure that he had conquered the disease.
Throughout the day yesterday it was no
ticed that he appeared unusually gay and it
had been some time since he had seemed so
witty or shown more affection for his fam
lily. Immediately after dinner, which
WAS concluded about $50, the
captain suddenly hurried from the room
He had been gone bat moment when the
family was startled by the report of gun
from above. Mrs. Weir. closely followed
by two of her daughters. rushed up stairs.
On entering the chamber they found the
husband and father stretched on the bed
and the blood streaming from an ugly
wound in the region of his heart Upon
the floor lay A. calibre Springfield rife

The Signal Office and the Juvenile Who
Runs an Opposition Establishment
Warmer Weather Predicted for TO.
morrow.

The cold wave signal at the signal Office was
lowered yesterday morning in anticipation of
warmer weather, but the like signal of the
youngster in the neighborhood still foated
this morning In his back yard and directly be-
meath it was the red crescent, an indication of
lower temperature. This little fellow evidently
makes his own predictions, for he is to-day di-
rectly in opposition to the official prophesies.
He causes much amusement among the officials
OF the service, for he seems disposed to run an
opposition establishment, although his predic-
lions As yet do not get widespread circulation
and his signals are visible only to those people
in the neighborhOod, who have overlooking
back windows.
The weather prophet of the signal service
stated to STAR reporter to-day that the tenn
perature this morning was twelve degrees
above zero, while at the same time yesterday
morning 1t was two degrees below. The proba-
bilities are that tomorrow morning it will be
SoOr 100 warmer than this morning, so that to-
morrow afternoon 1t will be above freezing and
the snow and ice will begin to melt. 1t is prob
able that there is no immediate danger of O
break up in the river, but 1t Is thought that it
would not be amiss to take precautions now to
prevent an ice gorge and consequent floods.
There is nothing at present to indicate an exc
tensive thaw, neither is there anything to show
another cold snap.
