THE WEATHER MAN MOVED.

Tho Elemen and Mankind Conspire to
= Render tho Day Memorable to Him
Other Weather News.
The weather man had sorry time yester-
day. It was moving dav for him and his,
and everyone knows what that means. Be-
sides the trials and tribulations of moving,
the poor man slept with his left foot out OF
bed, and in consequence of this the weather
man awakened cross. Then the weather wasn't
what he had ordered. 1t was dry and hot.
That made him crosser. The hour for moving
was set at 12 o'clock, and when the weather
man looked at the thermigraf at O'Clock
and found it was 75o in the shade he be-
came more ill natured. Then some unklnd
soul asked if it was hot enough for him.
That in itself was enough to make him
willing to descend from his lofty pinnacle
of moroseness and cool his broad. white
brow with a creme de menthe, but that
wasn't all.
Somebody set the thermigraf in the sun
and the weather man arrived just in time to
catch it as it was wildly and crazily run
ming away with itself, and the weather took
an erratic turn and jumped from 15o to Soo
in less than four hours, and the original
reports for last month became misplaced,
and he had slight attack OF dyspepsia, and
he lost the report for four hours, and the
Office looked as if one of his cyclones had
escaped and wrought internal havoc, and SO
many other things happened that his face
looked like the heavens in their angrlest
mood when THE DISPATCH man was blown
in last night. But he did manage so say
that the weather to-day would be cool and
showerv.
The temperature during the day was at 8
A. NJ 75o; 10 A. NJ 80; u M No SSo; z
John Harrity, rougher in the Wharton
Rolling Mill on the Southside, was sunstruck
yesterday morning. The man was removed
10 the Southside Hospital where his lite is
despaired of.
The Oakmont Fresh Air Home, conducted
by the Improvement of the Poor Society,
will soon be in condition to receive the sun
scorched urchins of the dusty city. Mrs.
Lawthe, the matron, is busily preparing the
county home, and everything will be in ex-
cellent condition.

PARTY RATES IN THE WEST.
The Chicago, st. Paul and Kansas City Road
Has Asked to Put Them in Eject.

The Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City Road
Has Asked to Put Them In Eject.
Since the decision of the Supreme Court
on the party rate question, there has been
considerable agitation of the subject among
Western lines. The Chicago, st. Paul and
Kansas City road has always claimed the
party rate was legal. Long before the
decision Of the court, this line presented a
petition to the Western Passenger Agents
Association for permission to put the rate
in effect. The request was refused.
w. P. Cooley, General Eastern Agent of
the road, said yesterday that his company
had made another application to the associ-
alton in behalf of the rate. Mr.. Cooley
thinks the demand will be granted this
time, and in short time parties of ten or
more will have the benefit of two cents
mile west of Chicago.
Railroad transportation is quite an item
for theatrical companies and other travelling
organizations The B. & o. made itself
solid with these people by insisting on the
party rate from the start. In the West the
Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City line has
the call, for the stand the company has
taken,

HIS FATAL HEROISM.
William Mcdowell Burned to Death by Be-
ing Faithful

William Mcdowell, brother of Coroner
Mcdowell, who was burned by lamp ex-
plosion early yesterday morning, died at
noon yesterday. The deceased told his
brother at the hospital, shortly before his
death, that he would not have been burned
had he not remembered when the lamp
caught fire that the owner of the house had
told him that evening that the insurance on
the house had run out. He thought of that
and ran out with the lamp to save the
house.
He was born in the First ward, Allegheny,
and raised in the Fourth ward, Pittsburg.
He was in the fire department for six years,
serving latterly with Company No 13. He
left there to enter the electrical department
of the Central Traction Company. He was
formerly member of Council III, Jr o.
U. A. NJ. and Eemont Castle No. 108, A.
O. X. OF NJ. c. He was also an active
member of the Tariff Club He will be
inferred from the Coroner's home. Servi-
ces will be held at St. Andrews Church at
10 A. NJ. on Saturday.

GOOD TRADE PROsPECTS
Mr.. Jaques Says Floods and Politics Won't
Ipjure Business Very Much.

Mr.. Jaques Says Floods and Politics Won't
Ipjure Business Very Much.
George M. Jaques, editor of the Crockery
and Glass Journal, put up at the Monongahela
House yesterday. He says this is the dull
season for the trade, but the prospects for
business in the fall are very bright The
volume of trade for the year is as large as it
was in the previous one. This, how
ever, does not satisfy the
manufacturers who always complain of dull
times unless they can show big increase.
In some quarters it is feared that the West
ern floods will injure business. Mr.. Jaques
thinks that after the water has subsided
people will find property hasn' t been dam
aged as much as they imagined. He says
a foot of water in the low grounds along the
rivers scares the Westerners pretty badly.
AS for Presidential years Mr.. Jaques
claims that the political contest doesn't in
terfere with trade very much. What is
dropped in times of political excitement is
made up in the next season. The busiEess
average doesn't vary great deal from year
to year.

Dick Quay Comes to the City and Makes a
Few Remarks.

Dick Quay came into Pittsburg yesterday
with Colonel Glenn, late of the Auditor
Generals Office at Harrisburg, and the two
spent the heated part of the afternoon with
personal friends, sauntering along the shady
side of Fifth avenue. Young Quay seemed
in delightful tempera and in his expression
there was selt-sat;sied contentment, and,
to say the least, he looked cheerful
He said a few rather severe things about
Senator Rgtan and insisted that Rutan's
proposed suits against Senator QUAY, ex-
Treasurer Boyer and State Treasurer Morri-
son were prompted by malice and would fall
to the ground. Referring to national poll
tics Dick Quay said Everything indicates
that Secretary Blaine will be nominated at
Minneapolis. Certainly he is the strongest
man the party can nominate and am conf
dent if nominated he will accept. 1 have
no idea who will go on the ticket for second
place with Blaine"
