Weather Forecasts for September.

weather Forecasts 1Or september.
Irl Hicks in Word and Works.
The LIST day of September is the center of q
regular storm period; therefore, we put down
in the calendar the LIST, I'd and Sd as the days in
which the most active storm movements are
liable to occur. We write this forecast on Fri
day morning, August 10, and dispatches, as
well as private advices, inform US of snowfall
within the past two or three days at various
places In Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.
This, together with the fact that there was
frost in northern Illinois on the LIST day of Au-
gust, not only continues to sustain our predic-
ton for cool summer. but our special an
nouncement of amazing flights of the mer-
curry up and down" for this exact time in August
Word and Works. This condition, in all proba-
bility, will continue making heavy frosts to the
northward more than probable at the close of
September's first storms. About the 7th the
rise IN temperature necessary for secondary
storm developments will take place. First
quarter Of moon ON the I'd at l:34 o'clock D. IN.
The 18th OF September is not only about the
date of greatest electrical excitement during
every autumnal equinox, but is this year the
center OF regular storm period. Therefore,
from about the 10th to 18th may be expected
many active and perhaps violent and destruc-
tive storms and gales. Seamen and others
will do well to prudently heed all storm sig
mails on or about the 18th, 18th. 18th and 14.h.
Earthquake phenomena at this time, or in
deed, at any storm period in the month, would
be most natural, but, perhaps, harmless re-
suit Full moon on the 9th at 7:52 am. A
general high barometer, with some freezing
and much frost, to be looked for behind the
storms Of this period About the 18th,
warmer, followed by reactionary storms.
Moons last quarter on the 10th, 10:4S pm.
On the 24.h falls the center of September's
last regular period This, together with the
earth's equinox, Jupiter's disturbing presence,
and the fact that the moon drops between the
earth and the sun at SAL o'clock p m on the
same day, indicate violent autumnal storms
and atmospheric changes. If the weather
should be warm and undisturbed, with little
or no electrical war in the atmosphere at this
time, the chances will be increased for violent
earthquakes. We put down the 23d, oath, 25th
and 26th as danger days. Reactionary tenn
perature and storms about the last of the
month, into October. We invite a most care
full observation Of these forecasts by every one
who may read them. and greatly covet the help
OF all, that we may make them in the future
more and more perfect

A Halt in the Flack Case.

There was another halt in the Flack investi-
cation before the grand jury yesterday. As
sistant District Attorney Gof said: 1.-THE Tombs
is full to overlooking with prisoners who are
clamoring for trial. If we go on with the Flack
case continuously the courts will be blocked
with nothing to do. So today we will investi-
gate other cases and resume the Flack case
tomorrow. / am not at liberty to say how
much we have found out, but will say that
tomorrow we shall examine more witnesses
than on any previous day."

TtEHI OOm 6IO0.
Among the witnesses before the senatorial
cattle investigating committee, in session at
Kansas City yesterday was s. N. Ar
our, head VI the Armour packing COM
pany Of Kansas City. He had NO agreement.
he said, with the railroads by which he got
lower rates on shipments than any other firm
The witness denied that he was Q member Of
any firm whose purpose was TO control the
price Of cattle or dressed beef. The territory
WAS not divided up between the packers. Ali
the packers were in all the markets. Competi-
ton was very brisk; so brisk, in fact that he
and his brother Phil often cut each other
business throats.
Have you any knowledge Of any combine
ton in Chicago?' Senator Vest asked.
Mr. Armour refused to answer. He had no
connection he said, with the business Of the
Chicago Armours in any way.

About a week ago Mrs. Michael Shilling of
Hamburg, Pa, visited Reading, and while
there called on female fortune-teller and had
her fortune told She was told that a number
of disasters would overtake her and that secret
enemies would try to take her life and the lives
of her husband and children. Mrs Shilling
brooded over what she had heard and became
30 crazy that she had to be bound in bed She
Is now somewhat better. but not entirely sane.

TRAIN WRECKERS AT WORK.
Narrow Escapes Made by Two Fast Elk.
presses on the b. and O.

A Pittsburg dispatch says: Several attempts
have recently been made to wreck passenger
trains on the Baltimore and Ohio road, and at
q most dangerous place, too. Last Saturday
evening the fast express from Wheeling, due
at Pittsburg at 9 o'clock, ran a very narrow
risk near Watsontown. The engineer, when
flying down q grade, observed q lot of ties piled
up on the track and reversed his engine. The
train slowed up, but could not be brought to a
standstill before it struck the ties across the
track. There was q slight shock, but no dam
age was done.
Monday night the eastern express had almost
a similar experience near the same place. Ties
were placed upon the track just beyond a
curve, in order that the engineer might not
see them in time to stop his train. 1t Just hap
pened that he was running very slowly, and
when he observed the death-trap q short dis
lance ahead he reversed his engine, applied
the airbreak, and succeeded in stopping the
train.
About month ago the Chicago express,
which runs at a very lively rate between Wheel
Ing and Pittsburg, was almost wrecked near
Claysville, Washington county.
