EUROPE SWELTERING.

The Most Intense Heat That Has Ever Been
Experienced on the Continent.
VIENNA, August 22.-This city is sweltering
beneath heat that is more intense than has
ever prevailed here within the memory of
the living. 1t is not believed that such trop-
ical warmth has ever before been experienced
in Austria. The mercury has reached no
deg. in the shade. The garrison maneuvers
have been stopped and the whole city lie;
idle and suffering. Several persons have
died from sunstroke.
BERLN.-The heat throughout Germany
continues intense. The thermometer in this
city registered 80 degrees in the shade. Ow-
ing to the fear that workmen in the Spandau
gun factory would be Frustrated by the heat,
operations were suspended there. InStruc-
ton in the municipal schools were suspended
becaus. of the hot weather. This action was
taken by the school authorities In conse
quence of request from the emperor.
PARIs.-The heat is lessening in Paris and
the people are looking forward to mere en-
durable weather. The change in the tenn
pc nature has already brought about a marked
change in the appearance of the people, and
the boulevards are crowded with people com
parlng their experiences during the hot
weather.
BUDA PEsTH. - Dispatches from Vienna
state that the thermometer registers ITO de-
grees in the shade there. But in this city
with the mercury at that point the weather
will be regarded as comparatively endurable.
Here the mercury touched 116 degrees in the
shade, and were it not for the fact that tie
air is dry, life would be scarcely endurable
under the conditions prevailing.

Grading Kansas Wheat.

State Grain Inspector w. ". Haskell
says Kansas IS now marketing the best
wheat crop she ever had. No more
wheat is being marketed now than there
was at this time last year, but the rail-
roads hauled all they could then and
are doing their best now. The wheat,
however, is of better quality than any
ever before raised in Kansas, some lots
having graded as high as sixty-six
pounds to the bushel, and the average
is sixty-three pounds. Next week will
be the time for fixing the standard for
this year, and the standard will I'M
doubtedly be raised. Fifty-eight
pounds was the standard last year, but
it will probably be placed at sixty-two
or sixty-three.
The best wheat comes from northern
Kansas and southern Nebraska. The
wheat in southern Kansas and Okla
homa does not grade nearly SO high as
that from the northern counties.

of the Legislature of the state to pass num-

there is danger that the electoral vote of

Governor Browns construction of the con-
stitution is adhered to by the courts serious

BUFFALO, N. T., August 2G.-One hundred
and fifty cars of the Erie freight are stand
ing in the Grand Trunk yards at Victoria
and Amagaria. over the Niagara river in
Canada. The company received them, but
the switchmen refused point blank to handle
them. In marked contrast with the usual
arbitrary description of the Great Canadian,
the refusal was received by the officials in
silence, and no attempt was made to force
the switchmen to handle the freight.

found in Topeka. He went home to-day
much happier than Jay Gould.

The death of Duncan Nathaniel In

dore in the confederate navy, recalls to
memory one of the most stirring Incl

having left his native land with some
accusations of reasonable conspiracy
hanging over him, came to this coun-
try, and in 1850 declared his inten-

tinople, ard Capt. Ingraharn, command
ing the United States brig of war st.
Louis, demanded Koszta's release.
Diplomatic negotiations went on for
several days, when Capt. Ingraham
learned that the Austrian brig intended
to sail clandestinely for Trieste, taking
her prisoner with her. Ingraham at
once placed his ship where she COM
manded the channel and notified the
Austrians that unless Koszta was re-
leased by July he would open fire on
the Austrian brig. These vigorous
measures resulted in the surrender of
Koszta to the keeping of the French
consul general in Smyrna pending fur
Their correspondence, and finally he was
set free altogether.
Capt. Ingraham's action was bitterly
resented by Austria, but our govern
ment fully sustained him. The effect
was to raise the United States in tho
estimation of foreign governments.
Austria was then regarded as one of
the great powers of the world. while
the United States was thought of by
Europeans Us of little account.
1t was a pluclxy and timely act, and
the precedent established by the Koszta
case will keep Capt. Ingrahams mem

was gazing around as if the scene was
new and novel to him. He wore a calm,
placid look and new overcat. There
was a countrified look about him that
led me to suspect him as being from
Boston. It may be that am doing the
poor fellow an injustice. He may only
have come over from Philadelphia.
At the foot of the steps lounged a
shabbily-dressed young man-who had
caste Of countcnance calculated to ex-
cite distrust. A second young man,
who had business-like air about him,
tripped gayly down the steps, and as he
passed the elderly gentleman he put
his fingers into the outside breast pocl-
ct of the aforesaid stranger, and gently
lifted out roll of greenbacks, which
he passed over to the galoot who was
lounging at the foot of the steps. 1t
was done in the twinkling of a sleeps
tail.
My first impression was that it was a
practical joke. / thought the three
men were friends, and expected to see
the man who had taken the money re-
turn it to the owner, and say with a
merry peal of laughter to the old
man that he ought to ''sct them up"
Imagine my surprise when the two men
went off hurriedly. They took the
greenbaclzs with them, but they left
the old man behind. He was very much
left. He was behind in his finances.
Approaching the old gentleman,
asked him if he knew the two men who
had just gone off. My object was to
