Horace Johnson's Predictions.

Here is what Horace Johnson says of July weather: From the 4th to the 29th of the present month, commencing on the 4th with higher temperature the earth will move in the warm belt of it's atmosphere to the 9th, during which time we shall have to contend with high solar rays; extreme heat will be marked. From the 10th to the 18th the earth will move in wave of atmosphere highly charged with electricity, listen for loud thunder and look for sharp lightning. There will be great electrical disturb ance. From the 4th to the 17th a lower temperature-the earth will move in a cooler wave. From the 18th to 23d, ris- ing temperature. From the 24th to the 28th there will be general disturbance of the atmosphere, peculiar in it's move ments. There will be general disturb ance in the atmosphere from the Fist to the 24th of September, which some would say was in consequence of the sun crossing the equator which theory is incorrect. There is another cause for such a disturbance in the atmosphere of earth.

Miss Annie McCornick's Conserva-
 tor Restores Her Property and
 Resigns.
 Miss Annie Mccormick appeared be- fore the judge of probate at Bridgeport yesterday and the closing act in her rather remarkable case was performed. She was accompanied by her counsul, Judge Cowell of this city, and by Daniel Brewster of Falls Village, appointed her conservator by the court at the time of her commitment to the asylum at Mid dletown. All Miss McCormick's assets and the evidences of them in the shape of bank and pass books were restored to her, the conservator resigned and re- linquished what he had belonging to the lady ,and after cancelling sundry charges entailed by the process of court, she left probate office absolutely free. For the present she will tarry with friends in Falls Village. Miss Mccormick did lit tie talking while in the office, but what she did say conveyed the impression that in restoring her to freedom, with the power to manage her own estate, justice had been done.

OUR MODEL BOARD OF HEALTH.

Meetings Held Once in Two Months Instead of Twice Each Month. Section four of the city ordinance re- lating to health requires that the board of health shall meet twice each month between May and October 1. The need of frequent meetings during the summer season is most urgent and especially dur ing the months of July and August should the board exercise the greatest care to prevent an outbreak of disease by carrying out to the letter the require ments of the city ordinance relating to health.
 The present board has become notori- ous for it's neglect. It Is nearly two months since the last meeting of the board was held, although complaints in- numerable have been made to the health officer and sanitary inspector of nui sances existing in all sections of the city endangering life and health. Four or more attempts have been made to hold a meeting without success. Three mem bers constitute quorum of the board and that number cannot be brought together. Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock another attempt will be made to meet and dispose of the accumulation of busi- ness.
 We would in all sincerity advise Mayor H. 1. Boughton, Dr c. w. $. Frost, F. F. Weld and Edward L. Frisbie to attend the meeting or tender their resignations as members of the board.

The Railroad Commissioners Report
 Upon the Condition of the Road.
 The railroad commissioners have sub mitted in substance the following report as the result of theil examination of the New York and New England system of roads:
 The several divisions of your road were inspected June and D. A large amount of needed work has been done upon your bridges since our last inspec- tion, thus materially improving their condition. The track is in fair condition, and is being improved by laying new steel rails between Waterbury and Bris- tol and i'll the vicinity of Bolton. The stone arch trestle, so-called, over high way near Danbury, contains some un- sound timber which should be renewed. The Housatonic and Pomperaug bridges both need some new ties, and new block ing under the ties are needed at each end of the bridges. The stringers and ties getting unsound and should be renewed. We are glad to note the i'm provements of the Towantic trestle, and that the filling of the Hop brook trestle, ninety feet in height, has been com menced, about 5000 cubic yards of the | 90, 1000 cubic yards needed being already 1 in place at the time of our inspection. | The bridge west of Cook needs new ties and guard timbers, and the same is also needed on an open culvert near the fac tory of the Stanley company in New Britain. There are some poor ties which should be removed from the west track of the Park river bridge, otherwise call | ed the ''old tin bridge" The ties and guard timbers are poor on the west track of the Meadow creek bridge. The con- dition of the bridges between Bolton and Willimantic has been much improved, except the first Howe truss bridge west of Willimantic, which, we are gratified to learn, is to be replaced by an iron structure during the present season. New ties are needed on a bridge over a highway near North Windham.

THE ALL FEATURE SHOW.
A Pretty and Decidedly lnterestil
 Sh0X Under. CnnYaS.

A IrCtCy ana DGc1ueuly
 Snow Under Canvas.
 It was, indeed, an all feature show that the BnnnellMorris aggregation gave last evening. There was little of everything, enough to suit the most varied tastes, and everything was good from. the marvellous performances of the trained dogs and educated ponies to the singing and dancing of a sweet voiced young man and two comedy and shapely young ladies. The tumbling, trapeze acts and contortiOn performances of a band of athletes were remarkable for their excellence. The balancing on a chair supported in mid air by a tripod seemed to meet with the greatest favor. Prof Morris trained ponies and dogs did some wonderful things. They waltzed, executed military figures, made love after the fashion of Romeo and Juliet, sawed on teetering board, gave a wonderful exhibition of leaping, rang bells, and finally took positions on a pyramidal framework, making a beauti- full living picture of handsome and valu- able animals
 The tent itself is neat, clean and cosy. The seats are comfortable and well ar ranged, and there is throughout an air of neatness and cleanliness. Mir George B. Bunnell was present himself last even- ing and gave his personal attention to the various details of the performance, and to those who have known the vet eran snowman for years it was pleas ant and familiar sight to see his stalwart frame and handsome countenance here, there and everywhere looking after the success of the show. MT Bunnell is to be congratulated at having brought to- gether such an attractive array of novel, 1,N tertaining performance should go to Spencer avenue this evening and take in the Bunnell-Morris all feature show.

Section Boss Shields to Blame.

State Attorney Doolittle took action yesterday in regard to the railroad acci- dent at North Haven last Saturday, in which three persons were killed and sev- eral injured and the limited express from Boston wrecked. He stated to Judge Hall in the superior court, crimi- nal side, that he had information filed against Thomas Shields, foreman of the gang who were at work on the railroad where the fatality occurred, and re- quested that a bench warrant be issued charging Shields with manslaughter. The court acquiesced and the bench warrant was issued. Shields resides in Hartford.

Maurice Moriarty's Pony Found With
 Both Eyes Filled With Shot.


 Both Eyes Filled With Shot.
 A valuable black mare owned by Maurice Moriarty of Washington street was shot while in the pasture below MT Moriarty's house sometime during the night of the Fourth. The horse was found yesterday morning with both eyes filled with shot. Dr Bland was sum- moned and done all he could to relieve the suffering animal. The sight of one eye is destroyed and the other is so bad ly injured that the horse will be totally blind. The wound was caused by a heavy charge of No 6 shot. It is possi- ble although not at all probable that, the horse was injured by accident. Another theory, and probably the correct one, is that some cowardly enemy of Moriarty' $ took this dastardiy method of getting even with him. If the perpetrator of the deed is found out he should be sum- n y dealt with.

to description of the building and
the ceremony Of dedication, the
Censor says;
"Work on 1t was commenced last
spring under supervision of John
Charles, the architect, who has
scrutinized every act of its coustruc-
ton with the care of a fond parent
for his child. Every portion and
point about the institution is built
ON honor. The contractors, Blake
and Lake, for the carpenter and
mason work, have filled their con
tracts with credit to themselves aud
the building is for them the best
advertisement they could desire.
Much credit is due the building
committee, Messrs. Chase, lIoyt,
SaXton, Shear, lngersol and Ben
nett, for the services ren lered. The
perplexities have been many and az
gravatiug, the responsibility great,
and the job in many respects thank,
less. Their responsibilities were,
however, lightened by the selection
of thoroughly competent and
faithful architect and overseer, i'm
the person of Mr. John Charles, who
is entitled to public thanks for his
labors."
Mr. Charles is now engaged max
ing plans for a similar, but more or.

An Editor shot

G q. Mandt, of Nj. Ilorcb, liz.
tie station between Dodgeyile aud
Madison, fell in his own doorway
last Thursday night, from pistol
shot fred 10y an unknown person,
evidently with the purpose of end
ing his life. He is still alive and
considerable hope is entertained for
his recovery. The circumstances
of the affair as narrated by the Mad
ison Evening Nsars are these:
Mr.. Mandt, who is the editor Of
the Mt. Horeb Sua, has his office in
the front part of his dwelling house,
in the center of the village. lie
had been at work in his Office until
about midnight, and completing his
work, had gone to his bedroom to
retire 4 loud rap was heard ut the
side door Just as he was about to
retire He asked who WAS there but
received no response. He opened
the door and before he had time "a
see who was there a revolver flashed
in front of him aud he fell back
upon the floor with a bullet through
his right lung. The bullet entered
the right side between the fifth and
sixth ribs and passed directly
through the lung.
His wife had followed him to the
door and was standing near by when
she saw the flash and saw her hus-
band fall. She Immediately rushed
to the door but the hend who had
fired the shot had vanished. She
gave the alarm and DR.. Evans was
on hand in few moments, and
dressed the wound. Dr. Jackson, Of
Madison, was summoned on Satu-
day to consult with DIR. Evans.
Mr.. Mandt is a man "a years Of
age, a son Of G. +. Manlt, the man
ufacturer. He has been editing the
Sun in that village for the past year
or so, and has fearlessly opposed
the liquor traffic in his editorials
This stand has made him some
enemies among the saloon element
Of that section and this is supposed
to have been the cause Of the COW
ardly shooting. Mr.. Mandt received
an anonymous letter a few days age
which read as follows and wa'
signed "Jack the Riper":
"Mr. Mandt you hev preechec
temperance long nough in your d.
dirty paper stop it or it may cost
your sole look out we meeu biznes.'
To this threat Mr. Maudt cam,
out in his paper with the following:
"Tbe liquor element, we are glao
! to note, does not like our temperance
"biznes", as one of our anonymou.
contributors chose to put it. We
received, last week, a letter Of thi'
kind which is verify worthy oi
notice. The writer goes on TO say

long enough in our "dirty" papers
and that We will have to stop it o.

papers but sometimes they are soilec
