HEAVY RAINS COME NEXT.
The Early Part of April Will Give Great
Downpour of Water Eyerywhere,


Downpour of Water Everywhere.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo, March 23.-Prof.
Foster, the weather prophet, predicts
the following: My last letter gave dates
and other forecasts of the last great
storms OF March, due TO cross the con-
tinent from the cath to 2sth. These
storm waves cause all the changes OF
the weather, including the wind and
their changes, the cool weather and
cold waves, the warm days, frosts, rain,
hail, snow. sleet, and when their tracks
continue far to the north great drouths
result. | cannot explain all the effects
OF the storm waves in every letter, and
TO secure the full benefits of these fore
casts, the reader must study my sell
ence notes and discussions on the be-
ginnngs OF creation and the physical
forces. A scrap book OF these articles
would be convenient for reference.
The next period OF weather disturb
ances will inaugurate the great rain
storm, which occur about every 52 days,
covering a period Of about two weeks
April l to II. The storm wave that will
start this rain period will be due to leave
the Pacific coast about March 80, cross
the great valley from March 81 to April
., and reach the Atlantic coast about the
Sd. The storms OF April will all be severe,
both from minor causes and the effect OF
the powerful electric currents from the
equators OF Saturn and Jupiter, which
will begin TO have a light effect on our
earth Mercury will pass the suns
equator on April ., and the influence OF
Venus which will have crossed the suns
equator on the 2sth Of March, will ex-
tend to this first April storm, and it will
be of more than average force. IL will
effect most parts Of the United States,
causing a great variety of weather, but
the low barometer with its accompany
ing gales is expected to cross the con-
tinent through the northern part OF the

PHILIPPI, w. VA, March 23.-Abner
Vernon, alias numerous other names, a
Mormon preacher, was arrested at or
near Clements, on the Grafton and
Greenbrier Railroad last Saturday
night, brought here on hand car and
lodged in Jail to answer charge OF
adultery.
To-day he made full confession 10
Justice Hovatte and Prosecuting Attor-
ney Teter. In his confession he says
that he has Il wife somewhere and that
he has lived unduly and criminally with
two other married women. One Of these
is residing at Simpson, Taylor county,
and the other at Clarksburg. He says
he has found il necessary TO change his
name sometimes and in other ways dis
guise himself so as to evade arrest.
His story is lengthy, giving details and
particulars OF number OF crimes. He
denies being a polYgamist, but says he
is a follower of Joe Smith. One OF the
women he has been living with is now in
this courtyard will most likely have to
answer the several serious charges made
against her by Vernon in his confession.
There is but one sentimentamongt the
people here, and that is that he should
be given vigorous prosecution. The
prosecuting attorney is Of opinion that
the law should be given full sway, and
there seems to be no dissenting voice.

foundland. saying that the bill giving

ing time for further communications on
the subject between the imperial and
the colonial governments. The propo-
sails of the Newfoundland delegates for
settling the whole question by terrific
rial concessions or by some other equiv
al,nt, added Mr.. Smith, had been sub
mitted to the French government. In
the House OF Lords, Lord Salisbury
made statement similar to that made
by Mr.. Smith in the House OF Commons,
adding, however, that the bill would not
be taken up before April %.

WESTERN STATES CONGRESS.
Preparations for the Great Meeting at
Kansas City Completed.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 23.-Pre'
parations for holding the Western
States commercial congress April IA to
April is in this city have been about
completed. The railroads will give re-
duced rates, and arrangements have
been completed for the entertainment
OF about 1000.
The idea of holding such a congress
originated in the Kansas Legislature,
and invitations to other States were
authorized by concurrent resolution.
The original idea was to have the con-
gress composed of delegates from the
eiehteen great agricultural States OF
the Mississippi Valley, but at the solicit
tation of Mississippi and Alabama, these
two States were authorized to send
delegates. The legislatures OF nine
States have appointed delegates and
the Governors Of the others are
expected to send representatives. In
yitations TO be present and address
the convention have been accepted by
Senators Stewart and ingalls,, Congress
men Mills and Dockery and Messrs.
Warner, OF Ohio, and Donnelly, OF Min
nesota. Invitations have been sent to
President Harrison, eX-Presldents
Hayes, and Cleveland, Henry Waiter
son. the governors of the States TO be
represented and other prominent men.
The object OF the congress ia TO consid-
or the needs of the West, and some OF
the topics for consideration will be:
General business and agricultural de-
preston: cause and remedy; legislation
as affecting commerce, transportation
and finance; transportation and improve
ment Of water ways, Gulf and Pacific
ports: free coinage, metallic money and
paper currency; uniform commercial
laws: causes and effects of business com
binations and trusts; reciprocity and in-
ternal trade extension.

Liberal CLEReYMEN.
Doctors Newton and Rainsford to be
Hauled Over the Goals.

Hauled Over the Goals.
NEw YORK, March 23.-Some clergy
men of this town propose TO discipline
two Of the best known and most popu-
lar pastors Of New York-the Rev. DIR.
". ). Rainsford. rector OF st. Georges
Parish. and the Rev. DR.. Heber Newton,
of All Souls Church. Their offence
seems to be too great "liberality" OF
views. The liberality OF Rev. Rains
ford in inviting ministers Of other de-
nominations than the Episcopal to oc'
cupy his pulpit a year ago drew out a
protest. which he saw tit to ignore. II
is asserted that in arranging the Lenten
services DR.. RainSford not only invited
on-Episcopalian clcrgymen, but ad'
mitted "hercticn TO the privileges OF
the church.
The uttoranccS of the Rev. lIeber
Newton on topics Of public and rclig-
ious interest, have stirred up enmity.
His right to deliver opinions Is not
questioned, but it is held by the project
ors OF the present movement that as he
is a clergyman his utterances should
correspond TO the teachings oi ms
church. The influence OF the example
OF Drs. Newton aud RainsfOrd Is held to
be pernicious. particularly as the latter
has invited an Unitarian to occupy his
pulpit on good Friday. A protest has
been prepared which Is now being signed
by the clergy OF the diocese. After IL
has been fully signed it will be made
public.

vs.. Clark Brewer ct al. which comes
here on a certificate OF division of opin-
ion among the Judges OF the Circuit
Court OF the United States for the west

others were election officers and were
indicted under a federal statute for re-
fusing or neglecting after election TO
open the ballot boxes at the place where
the election was held, and for failing
10 read aloud the names OF the
voters, these being the requirements OF
the law OF Tennessee. The indictment
did not allege fraud or intent to commit
fraud. nor that the election was Affected
by the action OF Brewer and his col
leagues. The lower Court submitted
eight questions as TO the validity Of the
indictment. The Supreme Court, in an
opinion by Justice Brewer, holds that
the indictment was bad, and answers
i've Of the questions in favor of the
election officers, and does not answer
the remaining questions.

PARKEBsBURG, March 23.-There has
been considerable talk here OF late
about the affairs of the Graham Oil
Company, and many Of the rumors which
have gained publication, are unjust to
Mr.. A. Il. Graham, the promoter OF the
company, from the fact that they have
been ex parte statements. 1t is true
that there are differences between Mr..
Graham and the stockholders OF the
company, but your correspondent is
assured that they will be amicably ad-
justed to the satisfaction Of all parties
concerned. The sensational report
sent out from here that Mr.. Graham
was liable to criminal prosecution Is en-
tirely imaginary, and had no founda-
tiOn in fact.
When Mr.. Graham's side OF the story
is heard, as it will be in the near future,
the asperSion cast upon his business
transactions will vanish as vapor before
the sun. The publication OF the above
in your columns, will be but doing JUS
