V, o. Thomas was in town on Satur-
day. He says that a few days ago while
riding over a range he witnessed a strange
meteorological phenomenon that startled
him for the moment. The weather was
perfectly clear and he was neal the head
of Second creek, when, looking directly
In front of him, toward the buttes he
saw the buttes turn white. He remarked
to his companion who was with him that
it appeared like snow coming from a
cloud. This is what it was concluded to
be, and the horses were halted for a mo-
ment and they stood and gazed on it.
1t appeared that a cloud opened itself
and emptied its contents all In n spot.
This kept up for twenty minutes, when
1t cleared up and disappeared. They at
terward rode over the ground visited by
the storm and found hail lying over an
area of about five miles to the depth of
about five inches. The creek had filled
up with hail, and everything indicated
that the hail must have fallen as if it had
been suddenly dumped out of a receptacle.
He is satisfied that if a nan or horse had
been caught in it he would have been
killed. Fortunately there was no stock
within the storm limits at the time

The Idaho Grabbers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The Acting
Commissioner General of tie land Office,
Stone, to-day sent a circular letter to all
registers and receivers in the arid regions
of Idaho, directing their attention to the
facts and law cited in Secretary
Mobiles telegram. These registers and re
ceivers are directed to keep close watch
on all applications for filing on all water
courses and lakes where the least suspi-
cion attaches to the honesty and good
faith of the applicant for such land to re.
ject applications and under no circum.
stances permit filings to be made of water
lands by anyone In the interest of syndi-
Gates or corporations. This action
is taken by Governor Stone be-
cause of the intimation received
at land office that syndicates and corpora.
tions had sent out agents to purchase all
public lands in Idaho adjacent to Utah.
Utilizing water for the irrigation of arid
lands of Utah, thus depriving Idaho OF
its natural water supply.

Two shark Stories.

The schooner Hester A. Seward, Capt.
Travers, with 5000 dozen pineapples,
arrived at Pratt street wharf last night
at 1920 from Green Turtle Cay, Abaco.
Capt Travers reports seeing a red al
buoy adrift in latitude 81 deg. 80 min.
N, longitude 7 deg. 10 min. W., June go.
w. II. Miller of this city, who went out
to the islands for his health from New
York in February, returned as passenger
on the schooner. Capt. Travers told an
American reporter that just before he
left the islands, July 4, the natives cap
g. tured a shark eighteen feet long. When
1t was cut open a half barrel of salt pork
was found intact in its stomach, besides
a number of other articles which the
monster had swallowed. Mr.. Miller also
had a shark story. Two months ago the
dead body Of a shark was washed up OF
the beach at Abaco. Inside the huge
mouth was found small barrel. 1t was
wedged so tightly that it would neither
go up nor down. In the barrel, the head
Of which was off, was found all the food
the fish had managed to get inside his
teeth. The barrel caught all the food,
and the shark starved to death.-Balti-

A contributor to The Freisinnige lei
tung has collected from all the foremost
cations of the world a heap of proverbs
Of men concerning women" 1t appears
from them that the southern people, who
count themselves the most chivalrous
and gallant toward the ladies', are moro
coarse and insulting in their proverbs
than the colder northerners. Although
the Germans, the S~candinavians and the
English are not complimentary to wo-
men in their proverbs, they are rarely
brutal"
The F~renchnan says: "a man who
has a wife has a plague "a man made
of straw is worth double as much as a
woman made of gold" The Spaniard
says: "a woman's advice is never of any
use, but unless you follow it she will rail
at you as a fool" BE on your guard
against a bad woman, but do 10 put
your trust in a good woman There
is only one lad oma but every hus-
band believes he possesses her" The
Italians say: "If n man loses his wife and
a farthing, he has only lost a farthing."
The chief failings of the SEX according
to a whole host of English and German
proverbs, are changeableness and talka-
t~iveness, the former of which is equally
true of men and the latter not disagreed
BILE to men in the Latin nations.
The charge that "Women's minds and
April winds often change" and thestate-
ment that "a woman's strength lies in
her tongue" appear to be accepted in
various readings throughout northern
Europe. The specimen of a Yankee
,-,-arI &, ,I,nr a .t,riatf ia. GNANnnnnn ran
keep o secret, but it takes n big crowd of
them to do it." The Chinese say that
"a woman's tongue is her sword" but
"she neve lets it grow ~rusty."-New

MONTREAL, Aug. 3-When the train
for Quebec, on the Grand Trunk railway,
passed St Lambert's after going through
Victoria bridge last night, an explosion
occurred in the express car by which a
messenger named Rogers was killed. The
car was completely wrecked and the ex-
press matter destroyed. Rumors are
afioat that an attempt was made to blow
up Victoria bridge.
The train was on the way to Quebec,
Portland and Halifax and consisted of
seven passenger coaches, a Pullman car, a
sleeping car. smoking. baggage and ex-
press cars, the last named being next to
the tender. The train was completely
filled with passengers among whom were
Gen. Middleton and General Superinten-
dent Stephenson of the Grand Trunk.
When the reports OF the explosion was
head a panic was about to ensue, but this
was averted by a brakemen named Jones,
who rushed through the train to the
burning car, dextrously uncoupled it and
the tender and engine and let them dash
up the road, where the engine driver, who
bravely stood at post amidst the most in.
tense heat, ran them on a siding.
No cause can be assigned for the acct
dent, though everything in the car was of
a very infiammable nature, among the
goods being a quantity OF fireworks. The
tact, however, that the fireworks did not
explode until a long time alter the fire
was under way. shows hat the explosion
did not originate in them. The express
and railway people attach no importance
to the assertion that it was an attempt to
blow up the Victoria bridge.

Heavy Rain Storms.

hhchh1 al StOThs.
New YORK, Aug. 3.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that it has been raining al
most steadily since a week ago yesterday,
there is still no sign of clearing weather.
At s o'clock this morning rain fell in tor
rents for about fifty minutes. flooding the
streets and cellars of this city and Brook
Ign is inundated. The storm was accom-
panied by heavy thunder n lightning.
Nearly TWO in shes Of water fell.

tories were compelled to suspend opera
tons. At 2 O'Clock the most severe storm
of the season occurred. 1t is also raining
at Nyack. The streets there are flooded
and travel and business Is suspended.
Dispatches from many points in the

CATTLE IN CHICAGO.

Prime Corn Fed Stock Going
Up in Price
But Western Rangers Show
No Great Advance.
Weekly Stock Market.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The cattle market
has ruled quiet this week. Receipts are
not as large as recently and a fair demand
has enabled holders to close out nearly
everything each day. Choice native
steers although in larger supply than at
this date in former years are not coming
in sufficient to meet the demand. Prime
corn fed export stock shows a gain of l5c
(920c, and a few lots have made as high
as S4.55, which Is the top of the market
for some time past. New York advices
are favorable and cables quote an advance
OF lcent per pound for the best American
cattle, the price being l3'cents estimated
dead weight. This Is the figure that was
current in London a year ago, but the
Chicago market is over 81 per 100 pounds
cheaper and ocean freights are $40 per
head higher than one year ago.
Exporters here too claim that the cabled
quotations are too high and put the Liv-
erpool market at ll(G124c. Hathaway
& Jackson sold a string OF 500 there at
l13c which Melted them only $500 per
head. However, exporters are active
buyers of good fat 400 to l,500 pound
beeves and as there are good reasons for
believing hat the foreign demand will
continue good throughout the summer the
outlook for prime cattle must be regarded
as favorable. Common stock on the other
hand shows no change. 1t is dull and
weak as before. Shippers and dressed
beef men will compete TOR anything at all
good but the pens are filed mainly with
cattle OF only fair quality and these are
slow sale. Natives that come in competi
ton with Texans and rangers are weak
and the last thing that buyers will look at.
The best Texas cattle have advanced 10
(9l5c. but the off grades are barely
steady. Western rangers also are not
dong very well, Montana steers selling
under So. so and Montana cows around
$40. A train load of Montana Texans
weighing about l,l60 pounds sold at
So. 25(93. 35. They were of the same
brand as sold n year ago at 81 .S0(05.00
but were not so good in quality by about
30 cents, showing TO be about 81 90 lower
than then. Native butchers stock, espe-
cially common canning COWS, is down
nearly to low-water mark and is liable to
remain there until late in the fall or until
n let up in the run of Texans. The new
regulations concerning Texans, briefly
stated, are that cattle coming from fever
infested districts will continue TO be yarded
in the division at Forty-third street, while
cattle coming from an non-infested dis
trict, with a certificate from the state in
spector at the place OF loading, can be
yarded in any pen here. The general
quality of the Texans now arriving aver
ages poorly.
The market for stockers and feeders is
making a better showing than for many
menths past. Prices are verv low aud
healthy.
The bulk of the shipping cattle sell at
SO. COCA. Is, most of the COWS and bulls at
81. 1902 so and most of the Texans at
2.0O(g2. so.
