One of the heaviest rain storms of
the season took place Sunday, lasting
the entire forenoon. The streets that
were not paved were covered with
pools of water, and were the muddiest
we ever saw them. The oldest citizen
is puzzled at the weather characters
tics.

Not one marriage license was issued
by the county clerk last week, which
shows that the matrimonial market
was exceedingly dull. In fact during
the last five weeks only five marriage
licenses were issued here.

The Atlanta Tribune reports that
Croflron has 10000 logs skidded in

During 1889 the number of mar
riagc licenses that were issued by
county clerk Simmons amounted to
1872. That would signify reduction
of population of 152, because it is

they become one.

The Origin OF Solicitations.

Aalarge, if not the largest class OF
salutations can be traced to intercession
The deeply religious character of the
Orientalsy shows itself specially in their
salutations. The Hebrew work Barak.
"to bless" had all the meanings OF
saluting, welcoming, and bidding
adieu, the person spoken to being in
such case commended to God. blessed
be thou of the Lord" "The Lord be
with thee" And Jacob blessed Pharaoh
and went out from before him. are in
stances which illustrate the usage of
the word. They are paralleled by the
Arabian: "God grant thee His favors, )"
MAY God strengthen your morning.
May your morning be good;n by the
Persian: II make prayers for thy great
ness;" and by the Ottoman: "Be under
the guard of God" "My prayers for for
three" "Forget me not in thy pray-
ers;" and we cannot be surprised that
this kind of salutation is found to exist
in some shape or other among all ma
tional greetings. Our religion has come
from the East, and some of our religi-
GUS salutations still survives, for ex-
ample, in the Esthonian "God guide
you," the sAdieun of the French. the
nGo with God, Senor'' of Spain, and
our "God be with ye, ~ corrupted into

The Artificial Production of Rain,


Within short time the agricultural
department hopes to make an interest.
ing experiment, probably on the plains
near the State line of Colorado and
Kansas. In the agricultural appropria-
tion bill, which is expected to become
q law this week, is an item appropria-
ting 81, 900 for the purpose of an exper-
.iment in producing rainfall by an ex-
piosion of dynamite. This paragraph
was put in the bill by the influence of
Senator FarwelI, who for many wears
has believed that rainfall may be induc-
ed by the use of explosives. Secretary
Rusk thought well of the idea, and the
senator induced the committee on Agri-
culture to make provisions for the ex-
pertinent. Senator Farwell's notion is
that about twenty five pounds of dyna-
mite should be exploded at q time
half mile or so in the air, the material
being sent up by means Of inexpensive
paper balloons and exploded by time
fuses. Senator Farwell and Secretary
Rusk believes succession of such ex-
pl0siOns will cause rain to fall over
consid derable area. At least the experi-
ment In their opinion is worth making,
for II It should succeed q cheap and ef-
fective solution of the arid land prob
lem would have been discovered. The
members of the Senate Committee on
Agriculture do not express much faith
In the success of the undertaking.

MIR. FORAKER PHoToGRAPHED,

COLUMBUS, o., July l7.-Gen John

the state central committee. Foraker's
ballot-box witness, Hadden, is there.
u. Jennings the quill through which
Kurtz whistles, continues, and as
sumo the majority of the COMMITTEES is
of the same dirty feather. The conven-
tion was organized to whitewash Fora
ker, not to nominate ticket. His
speech as temporary chairman is long
and padded with fustian, and contains
some good advice, which, if 1t had been
followed year ago, would have saved
the state from the calamities he now
deplores. The impudence and arro-
gance of the man are wonderful. He
proposes to forgive US all. He invites
us to lay our political sins on his should
ers. He offers himself as a sacrifice for
our shortcomings. He tells US that his
yoke is easy and his burden is light.
Let me tell him, however, and his
whole troop Of small fry polititions to
60 to Halifax. His appointment as
temporary chairman was an insult to
sensible republicans. His speech, as a
whole. is the commonest clap-trap.
I His political record is stencil In the
nostrels of honest folks. He is being
bolstered up now by an unclean lot Of
knaves and not by the republicans Of

THE VAN VERT MURDER.
An InferView with Firemau Road
house-He Describes HIS Mental
AgOsy-The E1eissmens Subsidies.

VAN VERT, D. July 22-lrhe excite
ment subsequent 10 the mysterious
murder of engineer Vandevander, the
arrest of his fireman Samuel Roadhouse
and his confession has materially sub
sided. The report last night that Road
house had been taken 10 Lima 10 avoid
his being hanged by the mob which as
sembled about the Jail when the news
Of his confession became known was q
mistake. Sheriff Shoemaker started for
that city with the prisoner, but changed
his course when about ten miles east of
the town, and. came back to Van Vert
about daylight and replaced Roadhouse
in jail.
Roadhouse was seen In Jail to-day.
He seemed to be easier at heart than at
any time since his arrest, and said that
the short rest he had last night was the
first he had since the awful tragedy of
last Friday night. He said: "No one
can tell the mental agony suffered; it
cannot be described. i put on bold
front, and had it not been for the fact
that there were several men at Frank
lin who heard US quarrel, / would not
have made my confession. 1t was all
could do to keep from breaking down
when the Sheriff read the warrant for
my arrest to me, and while was not
surprised l could not muster up the
courage to reply for some minutes. At
night when / pretended to be asleep 1
was not, and all night 1 laid awake,
hoping to hear some remark which
might be dropped by tie guards who
stood over me that might give me some
idea how to act. / was unable to eat
before / confessed the crime, and it
took all the control of myself that i
could master for me to swallow the
food laid before me, and thus attempted
to throw off suspicion as to my guilt.
Since I have gotten the weight off Of
my mind I have rested easier, and the
few hours rest got last nightwas the
first since the affair. God knows It was
not my intent to kill him. f4-
"He forced me to it.n sd. %4s ..s
The coroner resumed the inquest to-
day as a mere matter of form, and the
testimony does not differ materially
from ROadhouse's confession. Road
house will have any hearing other than
q preliminary one, which will probably
be had tomorrow. He will waive an
examination and will be bound over un-
til the fall term of court. 1t is not
thought that he can give the bond that
will be required. He has retained an
attorney. hr.ag .,.. .f-gr.f.
