Dryenlorth and his party leave WASH
ington to-day for some rainless regions
in Texas or New Mexico, where, he
says, thoroughly scientific test will be
made. An official connected with the
experiments has given u statement Of
his personal observations OF the results
OF the bombardments Wednesday night.
He says that the first explosion ut l:5O
n. M. was followed by u lively shower
OF rain. At 2:4l another explosion oc-
Cured and rain followed within two
minutes. No rain followed the eS-
plosion at aa+55S, but the clouds broke
away and the sky cleared. At3:O6 rain
followed the explosion within eight
minutes. No rain occurred alter the
explosion at 3:44.
He thinks that the experiments sue
ceeded in bringing rain by explosion,
but he says it is not possible to demon
strate the actual effect OF the explosion
upon the atmosphere sufficient to pro.
duce the rain. He believed that 1t will
be possible to secure rain by artificial
means.
Major Dunwoody, OF the weather bu-
reau, holds an entirely opposite opin-
ion. He thinks that the rain had no
possible connection with the explo'
sions. 1t was raining at the time over
an area OF territory 1000 miles long and
800 miles wide; rain had been forecast
for this section and what little precipi-
tation there was came naturally and
not by artificial means. Major Dun-
woody is of the opinion that the expert.
ments Will result only in a waste OF
money and time.

Businoss situation.
New YoRK, Noy AR. G. Dun
& Co., in their weekly review OF trade
says:
Even in the last week before presi-
Dental election, business has continued
very active, indeed the volume is far
beyond any precedent for similar pc
riod, vet the coming election has plain
iy diminished business in two ways;
multitudes have been diverted from
trade to political activity and many
more have chosen to postpone transac-
tions until the political uncertainty has
been removed.
Money is closer at some western
points, but nowhere is stringency seen,
and there is no apprehension as to the
immediate future.
Pittsburgh notes activity in iron,
especially in finished products, and a
fair trade in glass.
at Cleveland business is good, ex-
ceedinG Aast years, especially in rolled
iron.
The iron business improves every
where and unsold stocks are fast disap-
pearing. Western competition de-
presses plates, but for the industry as a
whole. the tone has distinctly inn
proved. The demand for woolen goods
is active for the season. Boot and shoe
factories arc surprisingly busy for the
season. In general nothing seems to
forcshadow money difficulty and with
colder weather and political uncertainty
removed, great business is antici-
pated.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the
past seven days number 23S, as COM
pared with lS7 last week.

Intmations of what the Democrats are
up to In Mercer and Mcdowell counties

tiers. II the free excursion scheme

there is 10 be what the Democrats call
"trouble." This is the meaning OF the
appointment Of special deputy sherltts
the application OF little "foace" bill
of their own-and this is the open
threat. These special deputy sheritts
are to surround the polls and support
the bulldozing job to keep colored
voters from getting in their ballots.
Thie the Democratic politicians justify
on the ground that "the id niger
has no right to vote, anyhow" A
private letter to the INTELAGENcERs says:
:'The Republicans OF Mercer and Nc
Dowell may be relied on to insist on
their rights under the law; They ask
no more and will put up with no less"
