WARM WEATHER.
Fruit Trees in Bud and Winter
Wheat 80 Advanced
As to be in Danger When n Cold Snap
Comes in Eastern Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 21.-Thc Times last
night received reports from its corre-
spondents in twenty-five counties of
Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsyl-
vania on the effect of the unseasona-
Bile weather. In several localities
grass is growing as in spring, buds
are bursting on trees, and winter wheat
is so far advanced that farmers fear 1T
will be ruined when u cold snap comes.
Fruit will undoubtedly be greatly dam
aged. In Fayette County, this State, but
terflies are fitting around, in Columbi-
ana County, o., pear trees arc in
blossom. The open winter has had
disastrous effect upon the general
health, typhoid fever is on the in

of pulmonary diseases is sweeping Blair

ported from everywhere, and two busi-
ness failures in Stark County, o., are
due to the bad weather.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 21.-The weather
continues warm, partly cloudy and
threatening rain. Maximum tempera-
ture yesterday 76 degrees, to-day 72 de-

days that the temperature has been 20
degrees or above-the warmest period

FIVE CHILDREN MAD
H'ron the Bite of h Dog at Fort
Recovery.
uydrophobia In its Worst Form Attacks
the Little Ones.

FIT. RECOVERY, o., Dec. 19.-Intelligence
was received here yesterday to the effect
that five small school-children, whose
names could not be ascertained, were
suddenly attacked by vicious dog
while on their way home from school
last Monday evening. Each of the un-
fortunate children has developed symp-
toms of hydrophobia, and but slight
hopes are entertained for their recovery.
The dog, wholly black Newfoundland,
belonging to Abraham Mott, wealthy
and influential farmer living three
miles south of here, went suddenly
mad one day last week, and, after hav-
ing bit several calves, which have also
gone mad, and playing havoc with the
chickens, strayed away, and nothing
had been heard or seen of him until
Monday evening" when the attack on
the children became known, the report
of which flashed over the entire com
munity, and before long the entire pop
ulace had been aroused and intense eX-
citement prevailed. A search was imme-
diately instituted, but no trace of him
could be found. A large reward is offer
ed either for the killing or capture of
the canine.

he cmigrated, twenty years ago. His
experience has made him well contented

"The poverty of the people is oppres-

End of the Murder Theory in the Gowcn


case.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Captain Lin

here yesterday to investigate the cause
of Mr.. Gowen's death, processes TO be
thoroughly satisfied that Mr.. Gowen
killed himself, and he returned to Phil
adelphia last evening. So far as known
here he has finished his investiga-
tion. Detective Linden took the pistol
with which the deed was done to Mr..
Walford, who sold it to Mr.. Gowen. Mr..
Walford established its identity and,
removing the pearl stock of the revolver,
showed where he had put his
price mark on the inside. He
looked up his sales-book and
found that he was mistaken in say
ing that he sold the weapon Friday
evening, and that he had sold it Thurs
day evening. This destroyed the prin-
cipal basis for the murder theory, as it
made it probable that Mr.. Gowen had
Shot himself early Friday evening, while
it was still light, and thus accounted for
the fact that the gas was not burning
when the body was found. One result
of the tragedy has been the issuance by
the chief of police of positive order
that hereafter when violent deeds have
been committed the room in which tho
affair occurred shall be kept just as it
was found until the coroner's arrival

Numerous cases are reported by physi.

are not noticed, because the disease is

that come with fits of sneezing are not
so very bad, for they excited a
sympathy from others that counter
balances all pain. The influenza

tients. The startling changes of the
weather add to the chances of a good, old.
time sneezing symphony. People are
not alarmed at the prospect of an epi'
demic, and dread it about as much as
they dislike wet feet or any other little
misfortune. The epidemic would hard
ly be detected if it were not for tn
tradition that cholera and other hideou.
maladies follow in the footsteps of La
Grippe. Doctors disprove the tradi.
tion with their statistics, and, as it is
here, the people receive it with about
the same grace that Sunday-school
does rainy day for its picnic.
