TOUGH WINTER NEXT.

ProEnosticaror Foster Holds that the
Coming season CT Is9I.92 is TO b.
the Coolest al d Most stormy on Re
cord.
Recently an Illinois coal dealer wrote
Foster. the ST. Joe weather prophet, with
regard to the indications for cold winter
| in l-92 and he received the follow ing
| answer, which was, of course, highly
gratifying to said coal dealer:
ST. JOSEPH. Mo. May %. 1S91.-Your
letter of recent date. in reference 10 the
weather for the coming winter of 1891. 90.
received and in reply l will say that it
will be the coolest and most stormy, with
the greatest snow storm s. especially deep
and drifting snows-thst have been exper-
fenced for many years. Cold weather,
with billiards and drifting SHOWS, will
begin early in October in the elevated
regions of Colorado and the Dakotas and
very cold weather, earlier than is usual.
will cover the states and territories of the
northwest and the Missouri river valleys.
With the very deep SHOWS that will fall
and the numerous fierce storms that will
occur. travel and transportation will be
greatly impeded.
About the middle of December the
weather will become warmer and average
warm Till about the first of January 1892.
when the cold waves will come again and
January and February will average colder
than las been experienced in many years
past.
In effect | have made these statements
heretofore through the public press and
in my lectures, and my reasons for max
ing these predictions are based on identi
cally the same causes that were my pre-
dictions that proved to be so accurate for
the winter of 1890 81.
Respectfully, W. T. FOSTER

VIOLENTLY INSANE.
The Result of too Much Love and
 Fasting.

The Result of too Much Love and
 Fasting.
 About one o'clock yesterday noon coa- siderable excitement was created in the Ninth ward by the actions of young man who was evidently out of his mind. MT. Joseph H. Meldrum, 24 years of age, na- tive of Guelph, Canada, who lives at the Hotel Hurlbutt on Dixwell avenue, corner of Admiral street, and who has been en- ployed by Contractor Whitney at the Win chester Arms factory for the last four years, showed signs of mental disturb ance. He has been very much in love with certain young lady on Dixwell ave- nue, and his affection for her has been so great that he finally went insane on the subject. As far as could be found out he had eaten nothing for three days and had not slept much. He denied that he had drank any alcoholic stimulants, but circumstances look as though he was not quite truthful.
 He started in by smashing in the panels of door in the hotel where he lived. He then began running back and forth, and at length started over to the Winchester fac CoIy. AAo SdIo touuoI SldOpod Alil, OuI only succeeded in getting his coat. Once inside the factory, he rushed upstairs and proceeded to demolish everything he could get hold of. He procured shot gun and threatened to shoot the people as they went by in the cars. The gun was taken away from him, and after he had made 8 futile attempt to jump from window he ran out on the track of the Canal road. A train came along and he threw himself down on what he sup posed was the main track. After the train had passed he found out that he was lying on spur track.
 The employees at the factory about this time began to see that the man ought to be restrained, so half a dozen of them grabbed him and sat upon him. The only thing that he would say was ''The serpent didn't deceive me-"
 The police patrol took the lunatic to the almshouse and when he arrived there he was completely exhausted by his strug- gles. Dr. Skinner attended him and about 6 o'clock brought him to his senses. He kseemed quite rational and after a nights sleep will no doubt be much bet ter

Professor Gray's Telautograph.
 TChicapO Trih,lne1


 Professor Elisha Gray, the Chicago cleo trician, has made application for 10000 feet of space wherein to show his electri- cal invention. His exhibit will include g historical exhibit of all his inventions hotel signals, printers dials, telephones, harmonic telegraph machine called the tel autograph. A
 Without attempting technical descrip- tion of the means by which such result is obtained it may be said the telautograph is an instrument which not only transmits 6 message by wire but produces at the re- ceiving point a perfect fac-simile of the message sent. Pictures and diagrams may be conveyed as we'll as written matter It is not necessary that the pencil be kept up on the paper and ':t's' may be crossed, s'i's' dotted, and erasures and interlinea- tions be made as may be desired. The sender of the message writes upon pad, which does not move except as desired, and matter may be transmitted at the speed ordinarily employed by writers. The receiving instrument can enlarge or reduce the proportions of the writing and, dS Sdlu, WILL u6llu6dt6t WlOu LuC bhA0 nuS1- ity shown in handwriting any drawing or or figure that can be made with pen or pencil. The reproduction is simultaneous with the movements of the sender, and the services of an operator are not required. Any one who can write can work the tel autograph.
 At the transmitting end of the line the pen or pencil employed has attached to its points silken cords at right angles to each other. These are arranged in combination with electrical instruments so as to impart through magnets at the receiving end movements to the receiving pencil corresponding to those of the sending. The receiving pencil is maintained between i've rods under con- trol of the magnets, and through which are imparted the various movements of the transmitting pencil in forming letters or tracing sketches. The instruments are so constructed that the writing may be on 8 tablet in successive lines, as in ordinary letters, or on a continuous roll similar in arrangement to the typewriter's ribbon. The surface of the pad or ribbon must be sufficiently elastic to yield to the pressure of the pencil in writing and spring back to it's place when the pencil is removed and the pressure removed. When the sender of message lifts his pencil from the pap CT corresponding eievatlon or the recely- ing pencil is made. This enables the send CT to make any alterations or ensures of the matter already written: The receiving instrument is also provided with means for shifting the paper when the margin has been reached in writing line, so as to bring it in proper position for the follow ing line. This is done by the sender touch ing button on the desk at which he writes, which moves his sheet and the one at the point where the message is being taken, r~

 Cincinnati Store.
 ?. The piano warehouse and store of M. Steinert & Sons in Cincinnati was de- stroyed at an early hour yesterday morn ing. A large building, seven stories high. which stood next to the store of MT. Stein ert, was burned to the ground and when the walls fell they crushed the building where MT. Steinert's store was. Over 200 costly pianos were entirely destroyed. The loss was fully covered by insurance. MT.

Steinert said that probably $1OO, 900 would be the amount of loss. His in- dividual loss, however, would be almost nothing, as all was covered by insurance. MT. Henry Steinert, manager of the Gin cinnati store, who is east on his wedding trip, was in Providence yesterday and was telephoned the news. He left at once for Cincinnati.
 M. Steinert owns between twelve and fifteen stores throughout the country, the ]. principal ones being located at Boston, Amesbury, Portland, Providence, Cincin- natl, Columbus, Louisville, St. Louis, New Haven, Meriden, Ansonia and Bridgeport. It is MT. Steinert's intention to continue his store in Cincinnati, and he will at once seek other quarters and put in stock of goods, so that his business will be inter rupted but a short time.
