The Coming Summer.

Last winters abnormal cold, rarely
equaled either in intensity or duration
and mem orable for its wide extension
over the southern chimes of both hemis
pheres has given rise to interesting
discussion in European magazines on the
probabilities of the coming summer.
The subject not being one of merely
scientific interest but OF great practical
bearing, is not without attraction to the
American reader. Both here and in
Europe the belief that severe winter
is generally followed by a hot summer
is quite common. The opposite, how
ever, would seem to be true. According
to the investiga tons of the ablest
meteorologists of the continent, as
Hellmann, Quetelet, Lancaster, Essen
lohr Ham and others the thermic
character of any season may be deduced
from its corresponding predecessor
almost to u certainty. NJ. lancaster
for instance, for Belgium, established
the fact that since 1880 fifteen severe
winters were succeeded by twelve damp
cold summers. The late Professor
Eisonlobr, the great German physicist,
found that OF one hundred hot summers
only twelve were preceded by cold
winters. Herr Hellmann, on the ground
of carefully collected statistics, comes to
the conclusion that the probability of a
cool summer following 4 cold winter has
an average OF 63 per cent. in Its fayer.
AS to the thermic condition of the IN
dividual months statistics seem to show
for the last two centuries cool June, a
comparative normal July and warm
| August in such cases the probabilities
| for warmth being respectfully 40, 40 aud
60 per cent for this quarter of the year.
Based on the last 60 years experience
the proguosis for 1893 would be June
and larger part OF July cool and rainy
last third Of July about normal. August
warm September comparatively normal

Man and Money Missing,


The Baltimore Herald of Monday con-
tanned the following account of the dis
appearance of an aged man of that city,
but inquiry at the Clerks Office in this
county shows no evidence of the transfer
of any property in the name of the party
mentioned.
For nearly a month the police have
been endeavoring to clear up the mystery
surrounding the sudden disappearance of
James II. Mckinley, an old gentleman
who lived with his niece, Mrs. Joseph
Freebooter, and her family, at 2315 York
road.
Mr.. Mckinley left his nieces house in
a pouring rain about 10 o'clock on Thurs
day, April 2S, with the intention Of
gong to his bank to have three notes,
the amounts aggregating nearly 81, 800,
discounted. He bad arranged with the
bank to discount the notes, and was to
receive 81 ,625 in cash. When he left
the house he told Mrs. Freebooter he
would return in two hours. Not a word
has since been heard of him and the
large amount of money ne is supposed to
have had.
Mr.. Mckinley until short time ago,
owned "a farm in Cecil county. Early iu
the spring he received notice from his
tenant that the place would be vacated
MaE ;pIo ha Fs,
aud remained there couple of weeks.
He succeeded in selling the property to a
man from Wilmington, Del. The pur-
chaser gave in payment three promissory
notes maturing in 4 and - months
The old gentleman fearing for the valu-
able papers did not trust himself with
them, but had them brought here by
registered express.
He endeavered to have his bank dis
count the. -four mouths note, but for the
reason they would take no less than all
three, and, though Mckinley did not
appreciate the loss of the discount on all
of mis- money, be decided to bank the
luIC6s 1IO " do vel luuCH clhl6u pNSI
the prospect of having the money, and
promised his niece he would bring the
whole sum home that she might see his
wealth.
Mrs. Freebooter tried to persuade her
uncle not to venture out in the pouring
rain of the day he left, but he insisted,
and, putting on an extra coat and placing
the notes carefully in his pocket, he got
| on a York road car. He has not been
seen since. The Friedhofers are inclined
to the opinion that there has been foul
play. They think that some person took
advantage of the old mans weakness
and used foul means to get his money
/ They have been unable to discover what
bank Mckinley was negotiating with.
In his younger days he was known tt
have gone off and stayed two or three
days without letting anyone know o
his intentions, but he has done nothing
of this sort for 40 years. When he lief
home last month he wore blue sacl
coat, light pants, outing shirt and a stiff
brlm black hat. He has full, grey bearC
and is without moustache. He carried
cane, Mir. Mckinley was "a years old

A Pleasant Recital.

The young ladies and gentlemen who
compose Miss Bessie f. Scott's class of
music pupils, gave their friends an ex-
cellent program at Odd Fellows hall on
Wednesday evening. The audience
which was large one, was as compl.
mentary to Miss Scott as a successful
teacher of music, as it was appreciative
OF the real merit of each individual
pupils performance. Miss Scott has
deservedly won the reputation of being
not only an accomplished pianiste, but
an unusually efficient teacher of music.
The best evidences of her success are
the methods shown at the piano by her
pupils. They indicate Intelligence aud
artistic training. Even her youngest
pupils exhibited at the recital on We'd
nesday evening unusual irmuess of
touch, and expression at the piano.
Several of them displayed rare aptitude
and ability, whom for obvious reasons we
cannot personally compliment. They
ali sHo"eu cdleiul tTalulnR anu
some of them exhibited positive talent
at the piano. The pleasure of the even
ing was decidedly enhanced by the
recitations of Miss Imogene Chandler,
whose appearance is always welcomed
by Elkton audiences. Her selections
were excellent, pathos. description and
humor being effectively blended, while
her powers Of mimicry were never better
exhibited. The entire recital was given
without drawback or blunder, and
the evening was one of pleasure to the
audience. The program rendered was
