ANOTHER HOT WAVE,
1t Is Likely to Come Here in Few

1t Is Likely to Come Here in a Few Days.
The odds are about even that sure-enough
hot wave will come this way in a few days. The
weather bureau does not absolutely pre-
dict it-they won't bet on anything up there
now except that it is cooler today than it was
yesterday.
They want a sure thing. But, on the other
hand, from certain conditions existing aud the
results of a certain nature. the weather bureau
man does not, at this time, advise any one to
count on very cool weather.
Away up on the northwest boundary Of the
United States there is a storm. 1t has been al
most stationary for twenty-four hours, but ex-
hibts tendency to move eastward. If it does
sweep along the northern boundary toward the
Atlantic coast it will cause u rush of warm air
up from the south that will produce a decidedly
hot spell hereabouts. However, if that storm
crosses the line and comes down into the United
States it will be followed by cooler winds that
will make delightful change in the tempera-
ture.
The trouble has been heretofore that those
Saskatchewan and Assiniboa storms moved Just
far enough to the northward of this section to
cause the up-rush of hot air without bringing
the cool air down from the north.
AN IMMEDIATE COOLER PROSPECT.
So much for the future-for Saturday or
Sunday, perhaps. As for the immediate
present there is cooler prospect. The
presence of local storms has lowered the tenn
perature few degrees-yes. the weather
bureau man did say yesterday that it would
and it may be one or two degrees cooler to-
morrow.
Washington continues in the front rank Of
hot cities. 1t was "a Yesterday, which figure
was only excelled by Philadelphia where Sc was
reported. Baltimore, Boston and Lynchburg
were "a, and this was high-water mark for the
whole country outside of Arizona.
All the big cities between Washington and
the Mississippi river registered SO and 90-ond
the lake towns were about five degrees cooler.
In fact with the exception Of the four cities
mentioned above. where it was a. the tenn
perature Of the whole country was remarkably
even averaging about IS.
The weather bureau man says he wouldn't be
surprised if it rained tonight, but he wouldn't
bet quarter on it.

THE BORDEN INQUEST.
Detectives Eusily Engaged in Following I
Clues.

Detectives Eusily Engaged in Following Up
Clues.
FALL RIVER. Mass, Aug. 1.-The Borden
inquest was resumed this morning with Charles
Sawyer. who guarded the door of the house
while Officer Allen ran to the central station. as
the first witness. He testified that he ran to
the house when he saw Mrs. Russell running,
and that he was with Officer Doherty and an
Associated Press reporter when DR.. Bowen dis
covered that Mrs. Borden did not die of heart
disease.
Officer George Allen was called and he testi-
fed to having seen Mrs. Borden lying on the
sofa stabbed, as he supposed. His story added
no new light to the crime.
Mrs. Perry Clifford was being examined ut II
o'clock.
Last night Officer Harrington went to Boston
to identify suspect answering a description Of
"wlld-looking man" seen last Thursday morn
ing by the doctor as he was driving by the
Borden house. The suspect was not the man.
boarded the New Bedford train at Mount
Pleasant and rode into the city. He proved an
alibi easily.
Marshal Hilliard this morning submitted to
another interview. In answer to questions as
to whether or not the police had given up all
hopes OF locating murderer outside of the
Borden family he said the question wss nom
sensical, but he would answer it by saying that
three clues were being run down and that none
OF them in any way would implicate q member
Of the household.
He said he had not been stinted in money or
men by the city government because of politi-
cal complications. He was not hunting clues
personally because the district attorney re-
quired his presence at the inquest But the de-
tectives worked most of the night and reported
to him and he was willing to say that close
medical examinations and their results would
be feature of the case and that it might turn
out that suspicion would be directed from the
Borden family. 1t has been proved that the
suspected poisonous milk drank by the Borden
family was all right when it was taken from the
Borden farm and brought to this city. Mem
bers Of the family in charge of the farm drank
it and they were not noticeably affected.

REFUSED THE CONDITIONS.
France offered to Release Deacon ~ He
Would Never Return.

France offered to Release Deacon ~ He
Would Never Return.
New YORK, Aug. ia dispatch from Paris
says: Edward Parker Deacon, serving .
sentence for shooting N. Abeille, his wifes
lover, had an offer of release from the govern
nlcnt on condition that he would leave France
for home, never 10 return. Deacon wrote to
the project of Nice refusing to accept the
offer.
The French authorities are much disap-
pointed at the refusal, their <object was
to prevent. IL possible. the trial OF Deacons
suit against his wife for divorce and
the exposure to the world Of the additional
evidence going 20 show her guilty of mis-
conduct with NJ Abeile. They would like to
expel Deacon from the country after his i'm
prisonment, but they have no ground for
such action il is feared that il might call for Q
remonstrance from the American legation.
Therefore the attempt made 20 induce
Deacon 10 go a condition Of being liberated
The Abeille family and their influential
friends are busily engaged in endeavoring TO
prevent Deacon from going any further 20 air
his grievances, and have, il is said, succeeded
in completely gaining over the highest author
itv of the republic on their side.
On the other hand, the sympathy OF foreign
ers in Paris. Nice and elsewhere h
strongly with Deacon. II is said by Deacons
friends that the principal reason why so much
severity is shown toward him is that men like
Abeile are SO numerous in France that in pun
ishing Deacon they are protecting themselves
by giving notice TO foreigners that French who
insult or mislead their wives must not be in
terfered with, and especially must not be
killed.
Mr. Deacons suit for divorce will commence
on September %, and there is every indica-
lion that il will be sharply contested

IT Is NOT CHOLERA.
Needless Alarm Caused by Reports in New
Jersey.


Jersey.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Aug. 1.-The alarm
ing report received here last night from Hell
mitta, a small manufacturing village about
fifteen miles from New Brunswick. has
caused much excitement in this section
of New Jersey. Thereport was that a disease
believed to be cholera had made its appearance
at Helmitts and that already there hal been
over fifty cases and upward Of twenty deaths
Investigation shows that while in some cases
there were symptoms of the dread disease the
cases thus far have been nothing more than vio-
lent dysentery.
There are many Russians and Poles EMPLOYED
in the factories at Helmitta The disease has
been more prevalent among those persons than
with the natives of the surrounding villages
This caused many to believe that cholera had
been brought from some foreign country by the
Russians or the Poles.
The local physicians who have been attend
ing tho cases say that exaggerated reports have
been circulated and that they do not believe
there is any more immediate danger of cholera
appearing in this part of New Jersey than in
any other state of the country Most of
the persons who have been stricken down with
the dysentery were women and Children. The
deaths were principally among small children.
The same disease has made it's appearance in
Spottswood, another small village about five
miles from Helmitta. The persons attacked
there complain Of the same symptoms, but there
have been no deaths thus far.

FIFTY ROUNDS TO a DRAW.
"Iron-Bark Jimmy Couldn't whip the
Saginaw Lad.

Saginaw Lad.
SAN Francisco, Aug. ll.-Bill Lsvinge Of
Saginaw, Mich. and Jim Barge. the celebrated
'1ron-bark Jimmy" of Australia, fought to q
finish last night in the Pacific Athletic Club
rooms for a purse Of sl,25o. Burge was
favorite in the pools at 2 to 1, Lavigne being
entirely unknown on the Pacific coast while
Burge, though especially clever is notoriously
perfect glutton for punishment and has won
most OF his battles simply by letting his sntag
onists wear themselves out on him. Both had
trained hard and we're within the lightweight
limit.
The first round was spent in sparring and
sizing each other up, Lavigne reaching the
Australians mouth twice with left jabs. Burge
forced the fighting in the second. but Lavigne
showed he was much the cleverer man and
landed his left on the face several times with
left swing on the jaw, but Burge recovered
quickly and evened up matters with two or
three good iabs on the jaw and nearly sending
him to the floor.
The fifth, sixth and seventh rounds were in
favor Of Burge. He forced the fighting
throughout, playing the Saginaw mans
Wind. Lavigne had a shade the best of the
eighth round, but Burge took the lead again in
the ninth and kept it till the fourteenth. when
Layigne woke up and surprised the spectators
by landing some singing lefts on the Austria
hsn's face.
Nothing particular was done until the
twenty-second round. when both fought hard,
Burge scoring first blood with a left handler on
the nose. He appeared the stronger of the two
until the twenty-ninth, when Lavigne caught
him heavily on the jaw twice, sending him to
his corner groggy.
Lavigne began forcing the fighting in the
thirty-seventh, hitting Burge almost at will, but
with apparently little effect. In the fortie;h he
nearly knocked him out with n left upper cut
on the chin.
The Iron Man came up comparatively fresh
for the next round and fought back with vigor.
At the end of the fftieth round both men were
very tired, and there being apparently no
chance for either man to win the fight was de-
clared draw

A DROUGHT ENDS IN CLOUDBURST.
Wreck Of q Southern Pacific Train by a
WashOut.


GALVESTON, TEX, Aug. ia Ne,cs Uvalde.
Tex, special SAYS: Last night as the Southern
Pacific fast freight was going through deep
cutne the bridge which spans the Sabine
river, the caboose left the track, having been
thrown of by a floating tie.
Recent rains had swollen the river until il
overfowed and filled the cut with water.
Several cars were pulled from the track by the
caboose. One of them knocked down one
span of the bridge over the river. Frank
Leonard, brakeman, OF West Plains, Pa. was
killed and the following were wounded: w.
Raymond, conclusion Of the brain; E. Waldo.
internal injuries; j. F. Crawford, spruiped
ankle and internal injuries; John Morgan. BODY
bruised; James Quick, slight bruises; John
Mangan, slight bruises.
The dead and wounded are all railroad men.
The caboose containing them fell forty feet. to
the bed Of the river, and was shattered into
fragments. 1t is thought three Of the wounded
will die.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 1.-THE Picavune's
San Antonio, Tex, special says: Heavy general
rains have continued here several days over
southwestern Texas, covering the drought re-
gion on the lower Rio Grande and extending
into northern Mexico, where it has not rained
for three years and where much suffering ex-
isted. The Rio Grande is on q boom for the
first time in several years. Washouts on the
railroads are numer Gus and the loss of bridges
Is reported at many places. Twelve miles from
here q eloudburst washed away the track Of the
Southern Pacific and stranded several farm
houses. This downpour is invaluable, breaking
an extended drought and ending much misery.
