THE WEATHER FORECAST.
\ Reverend "Storm Prophet" Has Hant

a Reverend "Storm Prophet" Has a Hand
at the Wheel.
The most successful ''storm prophet in
the country seems to be the Rev. l. r
Hicks, whose predictions are published by
a company in st. Louis.
In the latter part of December, 1891, a
copy OF the predictions Of this storm
prop net was sent to the DEMOCRAT office
and the weather guage man on this paper
has taken pains to watch the storms aud
general changes in the weather during the
four months and nearly half OF 1892
and made comparisons with the reverend
gentlenan's representations. II is WON
derful, it is really amazing, to note
how true the predictions have been
in the main. This month is by no means a
favorable one. The excessive rains ard
the frosts predicted by the man of God
have already come. He warned US of the
thunder; and the chilling blasts of yester-
day and the threatening rain or snow are
recorded. Stormy days will be numerous
In this month. BE on the watch" he
says, owing to extra causes"
June will have many scattering storms.
The annual crisis in the electric solstice
disturbance occurs about June 11th. Then
be plepared for fine displays of lightning,
with much rain. The new moon of the
gath will bring disturbances.
July will bring heated terms" and
many thunder storms, but not much
rain.
There is to be more thunder storms this
summer tina we have had for many
years.

SENSATIONAL MURDERS
Two of Them Excite El Reno and
Montreal.
SHE AVENGED HER LOVER
And Shot the Man Who Shot Him-A
Pullman Car Conductor Is wayiaid
While Out shooting and Found Dead
and Frightfully Mutilated.

Ell RENO, o. T., April 23.-One Of the
most sensational killings ever known in
this section is reported from the western
border Of the Territory. A young man
named Henry Harvey had been paying at
tention to q young woman in that neigh
borhood named Mary Wilson. Another
man in the same vicinity also wished to
pay his respects to the young woman and
the result was that fued was y, on ce in
augurated.
Harvey was the favored suitor, but the
other lover, John Tobin, was well known
as desperate character, aud fight was
the inevitable result Of the complication.
Harvey was with Miss Wilson at a dance
and during the festivities quarrel was
started between the two men, which re-
suited in Harvey getting ball through
his right lung, which inflicted serious
but not fatal wound. Miss Wilson was with
him when the shot was fired, and as soon
rs he fell to the ground she drew from bis
pocket his revolver and fired point blank
at Tobin shooting him directly through
the forehead, killing him instantly. She
at once went to nursing Harvey and call
ed for a minister and was married to the
wounded man. The woman will not be
arrested probably.

OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., April 2s.-An
arrest has just been made In this city
which was brought about BY girl who
tracked a criminal for Ave months over
the greater part Of the United States.
Last November murder was committed

mined to bring the murderer to justice.
and to this end she donned male attire.
She was about the same build as her
brother, and readily passed for young
man or boy. She frequented saloon
where Hargood was known to loaf, and
found that her man had gone either to
Oklahoma or Texas.
She came to this country Feb. I, and
visited all the places that he would be
likely to go to, and at last saw him in n
saloon. She called on the sheriff and told
her story; giving him the necessary war
rant for the arrest and the man was taken

Boston, April 23-Another uneventful
week has passed, and the business situa-
tion is little changed. The volume of
business is larger than has been indicated
by the apparent activity. Some people
are Of the opinion that the electrical busi-
ness Is going to be the most successful
this year. Electrical companies, both
great and small. are doing an immense
business.
The Westinghouse Electric Company is
said to have three months business on
hand aud Is increasing Its facilities at
Pittsburg. The Thomson Houston Elec-
trio Company has untitled orders for
nearly 1900 motors.
This week the West End Street Rail-
way ordered 164 new motors. Orders for
sixty motors were received from New
