PHENOMENAL WEATHER.
Signal Service Figures for the
Year lust Ended.

A review of the weather at st. Paul
shows that 1888 was one of the coolest
years since 1850, and it was also dryer
than the average. The year 1875 was
colder, but the difference between the
two was only One-tenth OF a degree.
The mean temperature was 1913 deg,
and total rain and melted snow, 25.S6
inches, making deficiency III tempefa-
ture, 81 deg, and i'll precipitation, 1915
inches. The showing for the year IN
several ways is the most eventful on
record. The initial mouth, with a MN
imum temperature OF Az deg oeloW
zero. and the terminal one, with 5S.l
above. and daily mean of 49.5 deg
these on Jan. II and Dec. "a. respect
iyeIy. are unprecedented here. The
temperature continued below average
for the first five months of the year.
The sixth month was average, and the
tendency the rest of the year was
above average, but the increase was not
sufficient to overcome the great de-
ficiency principally resulting from the
low temperature of the early months.
The rainfall was decidedly more than
average for the first seven months, oW-
ing to the excessive spring rains but the
closing months we're exceedingly dry.
There was 10 oppressive heat during
the summer season. The temperature
went above 90 but twice, once in July
and once i'll August. On both occasions
it attained the maximum for the year.
81 deg. 1t fell below % deg, or 'freez-
ing point during los days. and re-
manned below that point at all times
during 1873 days. The last "killing
FROST of the spring season was May Is,
and the first killing frost of the tall
st ason came Sept. 80. There were no
! light frosts observed during the interval,
137 days, or about four and
one-half months, that the temper
ature was actually favorable to
the growth of vegetation. There was
an average cloudiness of Sc; II days
were clear. III fair and 124 cloudy, and
119 with .01 inch or more of preciplta-
ton. Evidences of electric activity
were much more frequent than in 1887,
and there were twenty-seven electric
disturbances of the nature of thunder
storms. July had 8; June, S; April, 4;

Schedule Time Made by the Sun
and Moon.
Smoked glass was at premium in
this city yesterday, and the eclipse OF
the sun was viewed by thousands OF
people. Groups congregated on the
street corners. each man provided with
a small piece of the fragile material,
which was kept glued to the eye until
the moment of totality. Persons whose
houses face west, aid who rejoice in
the luxury of broad verandah, invited
friends to spend New Years day and
enjoy the novel spectacle presented by
the passage of the moon across the
bright face of Old Sol. There was
continuous line of observers along the
route from Dayton's bluff to Nlinnehaha
Falls, and at Fort Smelling the long
porticos of the barracks presented a
lively aspect, with squads of soldiers
possessing the inevitable glass. From
the hill near the rifle range an eX-
cellent view of the eclipse was OBJ
tanned, and the crest OF the mound
was alive with bluecOatS, who, instead
of the regulation army cap, wore COM

NAMED visible of the broad face of the
sun was a crescent which was easily
discernible to the naked eye.
Sergt. Lyons. of the United States
signal service, said: This station is
not supplied with instruments which
enabled me to note the transit of the
moon, and therefore / made no better
observation than / could with a COM
mon glass. The eclipse was nothing

nomena. and there is nothing in the at

BROUGHT HOME.
Remains of the Late John Nag-
ener Awaiting Interment.


The remains of the late John Wag-
ener, pioneer citizen of st. Paul who
died In San Francisco the 22d ult., ar
, rived in St. Paul at 9:40 O'Clock Monday
morning, and the oboequies will be held
at 9o'clock this morning from his late
residence at $50 Wabasha street. The
ceremony will be conducted by Rev.
Father Bernhardt. of Assumption
church. and Charles Friend. Adam
Fink, Theodore Uamm, Charles Hagen
miller, P.J Dries, John Heper. William
PETER and C. &. Miles, will act as pail
bearers.
The deceased was one of tine oldest
residents of the city, having located in
st. Paul in the spring of 1854, and he
was actively engaged in business i'll the
ci ty. By frugal and industrious habits
he early acquired a small fortune, which
was wisely invested in real estate, and
at the time of his death his realty hold
ings here were valued at close to a mil
lion dollars. Among other property
which he held were valuable business
lots on Cedar and Robert streets. fine
residence sites on NabaSba street and
Oakland avenue, Il large tract OF ground
on the West Side flats between Waba-
sha and Robert streets, two frame blocks
of tWenty-eight stores at the East
Seventh street fill, and ten-acre tract
in Swede hollow. A characteristic of
the deceased was his belief that
all real estate should be productive
of wealth. whether held for speculative
purposes or used for active business
purposes. With this idea in view the
Swede hollow property was staked off
into small lots. and leased to tenants in
such manner that certain number of
square feet of property were annually
productive of a certain amount of
money, which made it not only possible
to holdt the property for speculative pur-
poses, but enabled him to reap hand
some profit ann ally. He refused many
offers for this property from railroad
corporations who desired to use it for
yard purposes, and i'll one instance the
figures approXimated 100000.
