OVERCOATS WANTED,
A COLD WAVE TO STRIKE PlTTsBURe
TOMORROW.

Indications Are for Fair Weather With n
Slight Frost in the Morning-Ths Rain
10 Probably Over and High Pressure
Is On.
Some very cool weather is promised the
denizens of Pittsburg and vicinity within
the next few days, and it is scheduled to
stay with us for some time. So it is now in
order to get out your overcoat, if it is laid
away or visiting your uncle around the cor
ner, and settle up. The thermometer took a
drop Of lao Yesterday, and at 8 o'clock reg
istered 62o. This Is away above the limit
however. and by Monday morning the coal
and gas men are expected to don their lit
tie smile and feel happy. The rain has
probably run Its course, and will not be seen
for few DAYS at least Frost is on the
programme for Monday morning, though it
will probably be light. unless some radical
changes are made in the weather foundry.
The DISPATCH man climbed seven
flights of stairs to the Signal Service office
last night, and by the time he reached the
top had decided that August, with all its
scorching features, was back again. Ser
geant Stewart was found, and gave very
interesting talk on the subject of weather.
He said:
"At o'clock this morning the thermom-
eter Registered 60, and it soon ran up to
700, and later in the forenoon it reached
76o, the highest point of the day. Then it
began to drop. At12 o'clock it was at 700,
at o'clock P. NJ. 73o, and at s o'clock the
minimum, 62o, was reached. In the morn
ing the indications were for colder weather,
and we looked for frost Sunday morning,
but from the present outlook it will not
come until Monday morning. 1t will be
decidedly cooler tomorrow, but not so cold
as it will be Monday morning. There was
a great deal OF frost in the West, and at
Sioux City, Neb.. they had the black kill
ing frost, which leaves all vegetation dead.
''The local indications tonight are that
We will have fair though cold weather. The
rain is over and the Allegheny river will
probably not rise higher than Is feet. 1t
was IL this evening. On Friday morning
there was a storm center over Lake Superior
and one in Kansas. In the evening they
had come together in Northern Michigan,
and this morning passed into Canada There
was a high pressure in Montana, Friday
morning and it travelled southeast over
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, 1t is
moving this way and bringing with it the
cold weather. 1t will probably hang around
for several days, as is usual with high
pressure, which travels much slower than
the low pressure.

EVERY SATURDAY MIGHT.

The B. & o. Puts on n Special Cincinnati Il
Trnin for theatrical People.
By special request of the theatrical pro-
fession, the Baltimore and Ohio road will
run every Saturday evening a special ex-
press to Cincinnati, leaving here at 11:55.
The first of these trains was put on last
evening. By this shrewd move the road
gobled all the theatrical business in the
town this week. Grieves' Speciality Com
pany went to Cincinnati, "Under the Gas
light" people to Louisville and the Little
Puck" Company to indianapolis.
About 500 of the uni ormed Knights of
st. George will leave for Wheeling this
morning over the Baltimore and Ohio, in a

How Freaks by Some Oddly VIII Work
TO Attract Attention.
Charles Lamb used to advise people never
to appear odd. Rather be few days be-
hind the fashion than ahead of it, but never
so far in the rear as to cause commeut
With all this gratutous advice it is strange
what freaks you sometimes see on the streets
and in public places.
A man at the Union depot the other even
ing was the cause of considerable comment
of the sarcastic and ridiculous order. He
didn't look like one who wished to attract
attention, but he did ANYHOW. He
wore an immense hat, after the
stvle Of policeman's helmet that
came down over his ears, and carried
in his hand long staff tipped with iron
that an Alpine climber would use. Not
content with occupying a seat he paraded
up and down the depot for several hours,
and missed his train to give the people a
better chance to gaze at him. He looked
like a preacher and his gaunt frame plainly
indicated that he had not been we'll led. He
had probably been spending a few days in
the mountains, and with the assistance of
his spear had climbed to the dizzy height of
some knoll, where with poetic vision he had
viewed the landscape Ger.

BAD RESULTS OF THE RAIN,

A Weather Prophet Who Predicts a Severe
Storm in n Few Days.
The rain of the past few days is beginning
to have its effect in producing bad results.
There was heavy landslide on the Lake
Erie at Fallston. The southbound track
was blockaded for good part of yesterday,
but side tracks were soon made, and the
traffic was not DELAYED long.
A bridge was also washed away ON the
Newcastle and Shenango Valley road. 1t
is short but important branch from New
castle to Middlesex, and in consequence all
the Lake Erie coke for this valley had to
go yesterday by way of Youngstown.
Pickets have been located all along the
road to prevent any accidents.
Some weather prophet has predicted a
severe storm to occur before the 20th, which
will be general in its character and will
cause considerable devastation. General
Freight Agent Dean remarked that in such
case he would like to seek the secluded
shelter of a cyclone pit. The latter are un-
known in this country, but are quite COM
mon in the West

A PLEASANT FAMILY QUARREL.
MIR. Form Makes a Number of Charges
Against His Wife and Daughter.

Mrs. Annie Foran and her daughter Rose
Hi1on were committed to Jail for court,
yesterday by Alderman McMasters, on a
charge of assault and battery, made by
John Foran, husband and father of the
women. The testimony at the hearing
showed, as did also Foran's appearance,
that he had received some rough treatment
at his home on Boston street, out was not
conclusive that the women had taken any
hand.
The claim of the prosecutor was that they
had tried to kill him. He attempted to
urge that his wife and daughter were seek
ing to get revenge because he had foiled
them in an attempt to wrest his property
from him, but was sternly silenced by his
wife's attorney, who told him that he should
feel ashamed of his conduct.
