somersau,,s of the Weather.

At no time this winter have there been such
sudden variations of weather as yesterday, from
cold temperature several degrees below the
freezing point to moderate conditions causing
rains at intervals. Within a few hours
it was bitingly cold, snowy, sleety. and finally
blustery, made the more severe by a mixture
of sleet and rain. Last night the sidewalks
were sheet of ice in some places, and sloshy
and slippery in others. The mercury q varia-
lions within the same time were as sudden
as the changes from sun to rain. Night
before last its lowest point was 10
degrees above zero. At o'clock
Yesterday morning it stood at 49,, and then
went up 90 by 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At
o'clock last night it was at 80, few degrees
above freezing, making total variation OF ZAP
since early morning. The indications for to-
day tell of another sudden change as the cold
wave flag has been hosted in anticipation of a
fall of 200 before tomorrow morning. In the
meantime il is foretold that we are to have more
rain with an hour or two OF fair sky. The Chief
Signal Officer also predicts q heavy and drifting
snow Sunday morning.

in His Care by Mrs. Il. j. Boyden.

telegram from L. p. Grady. who is in New
York city. states that he has Dr. William B.
Clarke, formerly of this city, under arrest there
charged with embezzlement. The affidavit on
which the arrest was made was sworn out by
Mrs Emma j. Boyden. q professional nurse
living at No. lib North Pennsylvania street
Her story is that year ago she made the
acquaintance of Clarke, and as her profession al
duties threw her into his company quite fire.
quently she came to know him very we'll, and
had great confidence in him; much so that
when she was engaged as collector for the Y,
NJ. c. A she intrusted the money collected to
DR.. Clarke for safe keeping in his private box.
with the Safety Deposit Company. the money
always forthcoming when needed, and her
confidence was therefore increased.
Last August Mrs. Boyden received painful
injury by falling into hatchway in front of
Pafflin's grocery store on Indiana avenue, and a
suit for damages resulted In her recovering by
compromise $500 in cash, and three notes for
$500 EACH Geo. W. Spahr, her attorney, took
charge of the notes temporarily, but in a short
time DIR. Clarke persuaded her to allow him to
deposit them with the Safety Deposit Company,
and when he got possession of them he had Mrs.
Boyden indorse them, and he sold them to JOS
A Moore, who gave him check for, 1919 on
the indianapolis National Bank. On Nov. &c
DIR. Clarke had the checked cashed, and with
that money and what he had previously obtained
from Mrs. Boyden, amounting IN oil to over
81 200 ne left the city. He told his friends that
he was going to California to spend the winter,
but he was traced to Pittsburg through the
seepiug-car Offices and subsequently it was
learned that he had gone to New York.
After Mrs. Boyden had discovered that her notes
had been cashed, she, acting Oh the advice of her
attorney, had the warrant for his arrest issued
through Squire Shocks court Detective
Grady is expected to reach the city with his
prisoner to-day, and DR.. Clarke's story may be
different from the one given by Mr.. Boyden. 1t
was stated good authority last evening that
a friend of the Doctor had returned to Mrs.
Boydon the amount she claimed had been taken.

cessful melodramas of the period was produced
at English's last night before an audience of
fair size, and was well received. OF course

leading characters with two recalls. The seen
