Several Players of the home Team May
Sign This Week.

L
Sign This Week
The local team got homo from Cleveland
Yesterday morning, feeling n little weary
about Saturdays defeat, which landed them
in eighth place. None of the players have
signed yet for next season, but this week
may be an eyentful one as far as signing is
concerned.
The directors of the local club will meet
tomorrow evening, and it is probable that
negotiations between the club and Manager

HAZEN IS SKEPTICAL.
The Weather Bureau Man Takes No
Stock in Dyrenforth's Plan.
NO VALUABLE RESULTS SECURED
From the Rain-ProdGcing Experiments
That Came Off in Texas.
A LEGITIMATE FIELD FOR RESEARCH
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1spArcH.l

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Prof II. A.
Hazen, of the Weather Bureau, takes very
little stock in the rain-producing expert
ments now going on, and does not seem
to think that the reports, partial as they
have plainly been, prove that there is any
thing practical to be expected from the
Dyrenforth plan. In fact, it shows that
the experiments in the Ell Paso region
were failure, though it would seem that
time was chosen for them which was most
favorable. In regard to the theory Prot.
Hazen says in general way:
"There are two views which have been
rather freely advanced regarding the recent
experiments in rain production in Western
Texas. One of these admits that light
sprinkles occasionally followed few of the
explosions, while the other insists very
strongly that copious rains frequently fol-
lowed Immediately upon the explosions, or
within few hours, and tries to explain
away the failures.
MORE DEFINITE FACTS NEEDED.
at is very much to be regretted that
definite observations have not been pub
lished, and we may hope that this will be
done shortly. Still it seems as though
enough had appeared to lead us on the way
to correct conclusion. We can safely ad-
init that when rain was imminent or the air
was pretty we'll charged with moisture, a
fine drizzle often followed Immediately
upon the explosion. Indeed, experiments
have already been made which show that
such result may be accepted by scien-
fists.
''1t should be noted, however, that such an
admission carries with it the idea that no
other result can be anticipated from each
explosion. For example, anys rain which
occurs after lapse of about ten minutes
cannot be due to the concussion, nor can
any rain be due to this which occurs more
than 200 feet from the spot, or beyond the
violent agitation of the explosion. We
cannot expect two very dissimilar actions
to take place from the same cause
NO VALUABLE RESULTS
''It would seem that the experimenters
should decide on Just what shall be regard
ed as the probable effect of the explosion,
and not try to sit on two stools.
The evidence is very strong in
deed that no valuable results have
been or can be obtained by
such indiscriminate explosions under all
manner of conditions of the atmosphere as
these have been. We must first determine,
if possible the A B c of rain production,
aud after that we shall be in position to
take the first step toward helping nature.
'There certainly is legitimate field for
research, and it is much to be hoped that
there may be stimulation 20 try some cru
cial experiments on a strictly scientific basis
IN this enchanting field for research. The
expense need not be great. Probably one
third the expense of the present very costly
trials in a region where we may say "a pri-
orr one would be certain to fail. would en-
able us to ascertain most valuable and es-
sential facts

KINGSTON'S BROKEN BANK.
DEPOSITORS RUSHING IN TO LOOK
AFTER THEIR MONEY.

Many Suspected Persons Are Being Closely
Trumpbour Were High Livers-Heavy
Runs Expected on Savings Banks.
KINGSTON, Oct. 4.-[Tecial. THE sus-
pension of the Ulster County Savings Insti-
tuition has been the all absorbing topic on
this delightful October Sabbath. Persons
against whom a. shadow of suspicion rests
are being kept under close surveillance.
Their houses are carefully watched day and
night, and no positive avenue of escape is
left open. Persons acting both in the inter-
est of the bank and its depositors have Sc
cured the aid of detectives to assist in ascer-
tanning what has become of the stolen
money, and who We're directly or indirectly
interested in the plundering of the institu-
tion.
Large numbers of the depositors in more
remote towns of this and adjacent counties,
who did not learn of the failure until late
this afternoon, have been fiocking to town
to-day. Both Ostrander and Trumpbour
have been eXtravRgant and high livers.
They feasted on the fat of the land at the
expense of the depositors. On all sides it
is asserted that wine, women and stock
speculation have been their ruin.
At meeting of the Board of Trustees of
the Kingston Savings Bank it was decided
to take advantage Of the 60 days notice, and
that institution will not be open for busi-
ness tomorrow This will greatly intensity
the excitement, and runs on the savings
bank are feared. Meetings were held by
bank officials last night, and consultations
were had to-day to devise plans of opera
tions should the predictions be verified to-
morrow. Messengers have been sent to
New York and other places to obtain suffi-
cient cash to meet the prospective run.

MURDERED BY TRAMPs.
Two Young Men Attacked and Robbed and
One of Them Shot.

ERIE, Oct. 4.-[SpeciGl. l-Charles Sturgiss
and Edward O'Hara, two young single men,
molders by trade, living in Buffalo, started
late last night for Erie to spend Sunday. They
took passage on a Lake Erie freight train
for the purpose of saving the amount of
their car fare, if they travelled otherwise
When they were a short distance from Dun
kirk they were attacked by tramps who de-
manded their money. They resisted the
tramps and one of them shot Sturgiss
through the abdomen, and his companion,
O'Hara, while attempting to rescue him was
frightfully stabbed on the back by one of
the highwaymen.
O'Hara, although weakened by the loss of
blood, heroically carried his companion to
nickel plate train and brought him to the
hospital in this city. Sturgiss has been
baptized and has received the last rites of
the Catholic Church. He cannot possibly
survive. The highwaymen mad their es-
cape after they had robbed their victims.
A gang of tramps have repeatedly attacked
and driven train crews from their trains in
that locality.

A CHURCH WITHOUT CREED.
1t Is for All People Who Believe in Only o
Pure Christianity.

WASHINGTON, Oct. A. Especial. - A
large audience assembled at the Academy
of Music this morning to listen to the first
sermon under the auspices of the recently
organized Peoples Church, of which the
Rev. Alexander Kent, for years pastor OF
the Universalist Churchris the preacher.
DR.. Kent gave an interesting address, e4-
planning 'the reason for being" of the
Peoples Church, which was in brief that it
is to gather in those people who were too
broad for creeds, who believed in pure
Christianity and simple justice in the affairs
of everyday life. He would bring this
Christianity, this idea of the perfect broth
erhood of man into business, politics and
all social life
The church starts out with large men,
bership. Its support depends entirely on
voluntary contributions, and it is said that
regular monthly sums have been pledged,
sufficient to insure substantial finances. Mr..
Kent resigned from his former pastorate on
account of his liberal religious views and
his devotion to Socialism, or Nationalism,
in social and industrial affairs.

GENERAL sANDovAL IN NEW ORLEANS.
He Was Not in Mexico During the Recent
Revolutionary Troubles.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 4.-General Ruiz
Sandoval has been in this city for the last
80 days He discussed freely the recent
outbreak on the Mexican frontier. General
Sandoval says that although he is in SYM
pathy with any movement that may lead to
the overthrow of President Diaz, he had
absolutely nothing to do with the recent
revolution, which was simply local out
burst on the part of the Mexican people.
He regretted not being on the spot at the
time, for he would certainly have taken a
hand in the struggle. The General was very
much amused at the telegraphic reports
stating that he had escaped to the noun
tains and would soon be captured. He said
he would not be surprised in the least to
read that he had been shot.
General Sandoval has been on the point
of returning to his home in Laredo, Tex,
but was informed by his attorney IN that
city that warrant was out for him for vio-
lating the neutrality laws of the United
States in the matter of the revolution. He
cannot see in what way he has violated the
laws of the United States, as he has been
here with his little daughter since August
2. In few days he will return to Laredo
with proof of his stay in New Orleans

DEMOCRATS AFTER POLK.
He Is Charged With Trying to Deliver
North Carolina to the Republicans.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-[Special. ]-One
of the ablest Southern Republicans of the
last House was Hon. H. G. Ewart, of North
Carolina. He is now in the city and gives
some interesting information in regard to
politics in the old North State He says:
"Quite warfare is being waged upon Mr..
Polk by the Democratic press of the State,
on account of his attitude on the Alliance
question. He is accused Of being a traitor
to his party and in a secret COM
pact with the Republicans, to fur
ther the chances of that party. For
my part, though, I can see no grounds for
the charges, think he is honest and in
earnest. He may have some visionary ideas
in regard to the ub-Treasury scheme and
other financial matters, but he is a man of
good sense.
''He is also a'shrewd man, and has accom-
plished this much, that he has placed the
Democratic party in that position where it
must surrender to the Alliance. The ALI
ance will capture the State, but may give
the Democratic politicians, who are lawyers,
positions on the bench and the Attorney
Generalship."

HIS GAME STOPPED.
Emperor William Wanted to Go to
War With the French, but
QUEEN VICTORIA PREVENTED 1T.
The Secret Of the Cars Warm Advances
Toward the Republic.
LORD SALISBURY'S DIPLOMATIC MOVE

BERLIN, Oct. 4-Had it not been for the
excellent woman's common sense of Queen
Victoria and the sound judgment OF the
Gar, who, in the moment of emergency,
acted in perfect accord, Europe would per-
haps at this very moment'be in the throes
of war. The facts are these: Last summer,
when the Emperor William was at Osborne,
he one evening asked the Queen to accord
him a confidential conversation upon mat
ter of the utmost importance. The request
was accorded, and the Emperor said in sub
stance:
81 have something on my mind. 1 seek
your counsel. The situation in Germany
cannot last II months longer. The country
cannot bear the financial strain required to
keep up its present fighting strength
Socialism is daily assuming more terrible
proportions. Germany's allies-especially
Italy-are no longer able to keep up the
present pace. France, on the contrary, is
becoming stronger and stronger, but France
is isolated. It is absolutely necessary that
Germany should seize the first occasion to
declare war upon her. The latest moment
to which this can possibly be put off is the
spring of 1892.
HOW THE QUEEN BLOCKED 1T.
The Queen listened to all the Emperor
said, and replied: GAS long as live
firmly hope that peace will be maintained.
am now old, but still 1 feel that my last
years shall not be saddened by more blood
flowing in Europe. The responsibility that
rests upon you is a terrible one. 1t would,
in my opinion, be criminal for any SOW
ereign or statesman to attempt to precipl-
tate events.
The conversation ended, and the Queen
that evening sent for Lord Salisbury and
informed him of this strange conversation,
and desired him to talk with the Emperor
about it.
81 am afraid that would only make things
worse, your Majesty" replied Lord Sails
bury, ''for think if attempted to discuss
the question the Emperor might cut matters
short by taking me by the shoulders and
pushing me out of the window.
THE Cz4AR CALLED INTO ACTION.
NO." continued Lord Salisbury, "there
is, in my opinion, only one thing to do
write an autograph letter to the Gar, tell
ing him frankly what has occurred and
urging him, in the interests of the peace of
Europe, to lose no time in making friendly
advance toward France, in order to convince
Emperor William that France cannot be
wantonly attacked This would cause the
Emperor to reflect, and, in my opinion, this
is the most effective way of preserving the
peace"
The Queen at once followed Lord Sails
bury's advice. A confidential envoy was
forthwith intrusted with the Queens auto
graph letter to the Gar. The Gar fully
appreciated the critical situation. The
French fleet was then in Sweden. The
Gar Immediately sent an invitation for it
to come to Cronstadt, at the same time in
viting the French fleet to visit Portsmouth.
The rest is already matter of history.

COMBING THE HAIR.
The Method Often Causes Badness, but
Consumptives Never Suffer.

The Method Often Causes Badness, but
Consumptives Never Suffer.
Very often it is the way in which young
mar combs his hair that causes him to be
bald before his time, says a ST. Louis bar
ber in the Globe-Demoaat. For instance, 1
think the pompadour style, when carried to
excess, is dangerous manner of dressing
the hair. And the young man who brushes
his hair up stifly from his temples usually
is relieved of the necessity of that in a few
years He will have secured then the high
forehead that he has longed for. This de-
sire for a high forehead often, 1 believe,
causes badness. The hair should be cut
and dressed to suit the demands of its nat
ural method Of growth.
And here's another interesting thing:
Have you ever noticed badness among con-
sumptives? No; you never have. 1t is a
singular fact. and not easily explainable,
that in consumptives the hair is usually
very luxuriant on the head, and many times
it is very beautiful.

THE DANGERS OF MOB RULE
At Last Recognized by the Chinese Govern

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The Overland
China 1da, September 3, says editorialIy:
1t seems in every likelihood that compen-
sation will soon be paid by China Tor dam
ages during the recent riots. The French
claims at Wuhu are already settled and
others will be amicably adjusted soon. A
treaty of the powers, however, finds it more
difficult to persuade China to open Human
at the time when so many nations are fol-
lowing tine example of the United States in
their treatment of China China is too weak
to protest effectively against this bad treat
nent of her subjects, but the conduct of the
Americans who have shown hopeless
incapacity in dealing with the Chinese has
not been observed with indifference. Only
the other day ii Hung Change sanctioned
the proposal of the Chinese Consul at San
Francisco TO transfer all the Chinese coolies
in America en- bloc to the gold mines in the
Amur district.
Meanwhile the Government at 'Pekin
seems to realize the danger of mob rule.
Tendency is being manifested for Military
Governors of provinces. ManchuS seems to
be afraid of an outbreak. The probability
is that the present crisis will pass over.
There is not yet sufficient combustibles for
big explosion, but an explosion seems in
eVitable.

NJ. Rochefort Talks About the Effects OF
General Boulanger's Death.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 4-The Refor7ae pub
fishes an interview with NJ. Rochefort on
the death of General Boulanger M. Roche
fort said he thought that the death of Bou-
LANCER would rather improve the prospects
of the Revisionists, who are forming the
nucleus of great opposition party. They
could no longer be accused of aiming at a
dictatorship.
He would not place himself in the clutches
of Minister Constans, who desires to sup
press his paper, therefore he would decline
the leadership of his party. He believed
the death of Boulanger would lead to the re-
construction of the Cabinet Minister
Constlns was not wanted any longer, and
Ministers Constans and De Freycinet were
always ready to eat each other up.

WASHINGTON, Oct. AIN 1894 city
was begun in the royal plain of Lavaga, San
Domingo, and called Lavega. A church
was built at Lavega and a bell was hung in
the belfry tower. In the year 1912 Lavega
was destroyed by terrible earth
quake. More than 800 years passed
away. One day man espied
a bell in the branches of fig tree-a para
site tree that envelops everything in its
reach, and which had wrapped its trunk
aronud a portion of the belfry tower of the
ruined church.
Carefully secured in the specie tank of
the Clyde line steamer Saginaw, it made the
voyage to New York in safety, whence it
was sent to Washington, where it now lies
awaiting the proper time for transportation
to Chicago for the Worlds Fair.

A GOOD JAIL FoP PRISONERS.
Seven Men Have Escaped From Clarksburg,
W. Va, In a Year.

CLARKSBURG, w. VA, Oct. Al Special !
The escape of Thomas Murphy and Riley
Ables from the Lewis county Jail last week
makes seven prisoners who have escaped
from that institution during the past year.
The others, Wagner, Shoves and Crawford,
escaped by hacking their way through the
brick walls. Last week man named Ice
and another named Cunningham knocked
the guard down, after which Murphy and
Ables picked all locks between them and
liberty Ice and Cunningham also escaped,
but were recaptured after hard race and
are now in the pen.
Last evening Murphy was captured at
WestfeId but the others are still at large.
An investigation into this last escape shows
that Murphy and Ables had been furnished
with a crowbar by some outsider, and
nearly made their escape just before their
last successful attempt. The only extra
precaution was to put the men in chains,
while but one guard was placed over them.
The jail is new one, and these frequent es-
capes have aroused suspicion.
