Weather Observer schnepi yesterday
prepared tables, showing facts regarding
the weather in this vicinity Tor the
month Just past, and also for the year
1893. Some interesting statistics are
shown in the report OF the signal ser
vices officer.
In December, 1898, there were ten
fair days, W clear, i've cloudy without
rain, ten rainy, and four on which there
was snow. Tho number Of fair and
clear days is unusually large Tor tho
concluding month OF the year. The
rainfall during tho month was 1888
inches; during the same month"; in 1892
the rainfall amounted to less than.ono
inch, in exact figures, 81 inch, so it will
he seen TINT the month just ended was.
Very wet. The result OF this is seen in
the good stage OF the river during the
month. In December, 1892, the river
was remarkably low. The temperature
during tho month was also somewhat
higher than for the same period in 1892,
$50 as compared with 35:5 degrees,
Tho coldest day was December I'd, lG de-
grees above zero, and tho arne the
18th, 65 degrees.
During 1892 there were rs days on
which there was rain as compared to
.1l3 days in 1893. The rain, however,
evidently came down heavier in 1913, as
the aggregate III that year was 42.l7
inches as compared to 32.74 inches in
'92. Snow came down on 27 days as
compared to IS III the year previous.
Fair days without rain were 80 and so
respectively. In 1898 there were al
fair days, and inJS92,, lao. There were
nearly twice as many clear days. 50 to
81.
The average temperature for the year
54.3 as compared with 55.5 for the year
before. There were SO thunder storms,
the first one coming on April Sd and
the last on October Goth. July was the
warnest month, aud the warmest day
was July 18th, when the thermometer
climbed up to the .99-degree mark.
There have been colder days than the
coolest Of 1888, which was January 18th,
when the mercury fell to 5 degrees be-
low zero. There was more rain in Feb
ruary than any other month. amount
ing in the aggregate to $50 inches.
September was the banner dry month;

HANGING AT HELENA.

Yesterday a legal. hanging took
place at Helena, Ark. At the hour
of noon Phillip Pettus, who murder
ed his wife in April of last year,
was hanged by the neck until he
was dead. He was very ignorant,
of british instinct, and laughed and
danced the time away in jail until a
few weeks ago, when he was induc-
ed to accept the services Of negro
minister He at once embraced re-
ligion and for some days has claim
ed that his sins were all forgiven
and that he would certainly go di-
rect to Heaven. The scaffold on
which Pettus was hanged was con-
structed of heavy timbers and en-
closed 50 that curiously inclined
outsiders could get no glimpse of
the proceedings, and there we're
less than a dozen witnesses, among
whom were several newspaper men.
His neck was broken, and he was
pronounced dead within eight min
utes of the fall of the trap.
The crime for which Pettus was
executed was the brutal morder of
his wife in April, 1893 He had
mistreated his wife; they had quar-
relied, and she had left him, going
to an adjoining plantation to OBJ
tain employment. He followed her
and had one or two interviews, in
each of which he begged her to re-
turn and live with him. She refus
ed to do so however, and he threat
ened to kill her if she did not come
back. On the day Of the murder
he sought his wife where she was
chopping cotton in the field, He
had an army musket with him and
walked along the cotton rows with
her, pleading with her to come back
and live with him. She persisted
in her refusal, and as she turned
and walked away from him, he shot
her in the back Of the head, literal
ly tearing her head off. At his trial
Pettus testified to the effect that
he vas shooting at man and that
his wife got between them. To a
newspaper man he confessed the
crime Thursday and did so again
while standing on the gallows.

ka, at Omaha, Edward Rosewater,
Editor of the Omaha Bee, hereto
fore one Of the strongest Republi-
can newspapers in the Northwest,
has rendered his resignation as a
member Of the Republican national
committee, in scorching letter, in
which he shows up the character of
the Republican nominee, for Gov
ernor, III its true light, branding
him as a monopolist, corruptionist,
and man without honor or integ
rity, either as a man of officer, His
letter to the State convention, at
Omaha, resigning his place as ma

of perusal, it is couched in the fol-
lowing caustic terms

BUSINESS IMPROVING,
Everything Looking Up Since the
Passage of the Tariff
Bill

Advices from New York give
Bradstreet's report for this week as
follows Serious industrial disturb
ances in New England, drought in
central and far western states, cur
failing nearly all staple crops and a
disposition in all lines to continue
buying for nearby wants, only fail
to greatly influence general trade
throughout the country, the trend
of which is toward further improve
ment Northwestern states, East
ern Missouri and Atlantic and gulf
coast and southern states report
relatively greater gains in volume
of traffic and in the spread of that
better feeling and confidence in a
large volume of business, on which
improvement in business depends.
Prominent among the evidences
OF expansion IN general trade is
this weeks bank clearings total,
1920, 600, 900, a gain over last week
of about 4 per cent and over the
like total one year ago, when clear
ings got down to about low water
mark the increase is 20 per cent.
But compared with the total in the
like two years ago, this weeks ag-
gregate clearings show decrease
of 18 per cent. 1t is also worth
nothing as a sign of business move
ment, that every city's clearings
total for the week is larger than a
year ago, except one. Gains Of
clearings at whisky markets, Louis
vile, Cincinnati, Paris and Licking
ton, have naturally been expanded
extraordinarily. The greatest APP
parent increase in the volume of
business during the week is at st.
Louis, Baltimore, Chicago, st,
Paul, Minneapolis and San Fran
cisco.

HOW WILL IT END9

According to the Memphis Com
mercial it would seem that despite
the "Pollardizing' received by him
in the Washington courts, Hon(O
Billy Breckinridge, will, In all prob
ability and to the eternal shame Of
his people, again succeed himself in
the House, as Representative from
the famous Seventh Congressional
district, Of Kentucky, Concerning
the probable result of the contest,
which closes three weeks from to-
day, the Commercial says.
The general public has largely
lost interest in the affair, for it is
impossible to keep a big sensation
on tap for so long a time. If the
contest had come off soon after the
verdict of the jury Breckenridge
would undoubtedly have been de-
The Daily Texarkanian., 1894-08-25

feated; but he has managed his can
vass with consummate skill, and the
very bitterness Of his opponents
has helped to bring about a general
change in public sentiment. Brock
inridge has displayed the art Of the
orator as never before in this great
struggle, and acted the part of a
penitent sinner to perfection. He
has for the most part kept his tenn
per well under control and allowed
his opponents to do most of the re-
Wiling These tactics have had the
effect of softening public sentiment,
and the clustering fury and savage
bitterness of Mr. Owens has helped
on the reaction. 1t is unfortunate
that the only man, Mr.. Evan Set
tie, who seems to be really promis-
ing material for a worthy successor
to the fallen Breckenridge, seems to
be hopelessly out of the race. His
style of oratory is altogether differ
ent from that of the ornate and
fervent Breckenridge, or the YER
bose and slobbery Owens. He is,
however, the victim of a geograph-
zeal situation, and the fact that
Owens was the first to seize and APP
propriate the opposition. The pres
ent outlook seems rather favorable
to Breckenridge, and without some
marked change in public sentiment
the chances are that he will easily
distance his competitors.

Express Companies Avoid Paying
Taxes.

Judge John Williams of the Unit
ed States Court has issued an order
restraining the State board Of rail
road commissioners from assessing
the property Of the Pacific Express
Company and all other express and
telephone companies operating in
the State, and from certifying the
same to the collectors of the various
counties. This action is taken
pending the litigation now before
the United States Court as to the
right Of the State to tax the prop
erty of such companies when the
same is located outside the State.
The order was served on Gov Fish
back, who gave it to Attorney-Gen-
erl Clark, and he acknowledged SER
vice. The assessment had already
been made when the order was is
sued, but the taxes will not be GER
titled to the commission for collec-
ton. The amount of the tax is

ERA DOTS.
ERA, ARK, August %, 1894.

Editor TEXARKANIAN:
Thinking probably a few dots
from our little villa would at least
interest a few Of your many read
ers, will undertake to give you a
few:
Plenty of rain now, and some are
beginning to want it tosstop as
bad as they thought they needed
it.
Everything quiet legally. Squire
Terry has nothing to do since
sending his man to Texarkana.
Sheppard Bros. are buildinga fine
barn.
Thos. Boydston is completing a
handsome little residence.
Jno. Thomas is at work on a house
for our doctor.
]. N. Thomas is building a resi-
dence.
g. w. Hawthorne is back with us
repairing and making ready the
gin, preparatory to stripping the
lint from the cotton.
So you see, despite the hard
times, our people move right on.
Sowing turnips is the order of the
day with many of us.
Saturday last was quite an ex-
citing day on the ball grounds.
About 8 o'clock the school boys
from the Eason and Perry schools,
the former taught by e. w. Proc
tor and the latter by E. e. Stats,
met for a match game of base ball.
Despite the fact that the Eason
boys were all heavyweights, the
little nine did them up in great
shape, the tally sheet showing 81
for Perry's school and 16 for Easons
school After dinner the Bright
Star nine and the Era hard Kittens,
crossed bats. Until about the 9Th,
ending it seemed that Era would be
defeated and so elated were the
Bright Stars, that they would sing
"By O Baby" with all the melody of
a Jenny Lind. But alas, that the
song should come to such an un-
timely end; it only needed something
of this kind to bring our boys to
their old batting and a few OF those
hard hits were all they needed.
After Bright Stars 9th inning, and
Era's 9Th, the TALES stood Is to 30
in favor of Era. Our boys have not
lost a game this season, this being
the 3rd game with Bright Star boys,
Era having done, Atlanta twice this
season, Hurricane boys B. times.
They go to La. next Saturday to
play the Hill Billies, the Bird game
having beaten them twice already.
There is in circulation here a pc
tition praying our County Judge to
divide this township, and from the
rapidity of its growth gather that
our people favor such a change
This I think good idea, but for
the present decline to give rea-
sons.
But now, fearing ! have already
consumed too much of your valua-
bic time and space, will bring my
dots to a close. y, |. G.

CLEVELAND WONT SIGN IT.
The Tariff Bill Will Become a Law
But not by the Presidents
Signature.

Yesterdays dispatches from
Washington, concerning the prob
able action of President Cleveland,
on the tariff bill, have this to say:
The president remains firm in his
purpose to let the tariff bill become
law without his signature. This,
as was stated by the Associated
Press at the time, was his inten-
ton when he lett Washington for
Gray Gables, and there is excellent
authority for the statement that
Mr.. Cleveland since his return has
indicated that he is of the opinion
as before he left here. A great
deal of pressure has been and is still
being exerting to induce Mr.. Cleve
land to forego his present purpose
and to sign the bill, either with or
without some message expressive
of his views, but the president gave
no encouragement to those who
pressed views of this nature on his
attention, and has Indicated that
he will allow the bill to become a
law by expiration of the ten days
clause of the constitution.
The persons most urgent in sug-
costing to the President that he
sign the bill are members of Con-
gress, who have represented very
strongly to the President that a
signature to the bill will help them
considerably in their defense of it
in the coming campaign, and that
it should not have the measure of
Presidential approval indicated by
Mr.. Clevelands signature their po-
sition on the stump will be embar-
raised to some extent at least.
Speaker Crisp and a number of 9th
er Congressman have presented
this view of the matter, and the
Speaker saw Mr. Cleveland today
on the subject. So far as can be
learned the Presidents attitude has
been one of patient listening to and
consideration of the arguments
presented, but he has refrained
carefully from making any promise
or giving encouragement to con
gressmen who wish the bill signed.
A veto Of the bill, however, is not
even suggested. 1t cannot become
a law without the presidential auto
graph until next Monday, and this
being the case the adjournment of
Congress will hardly take place be-
fore next Tuesday.
The fact that it is Mr.. Cleveland's
purpose to permit the bill to become
a law without his signature is also
a strong indication of the improba-
bility of any message on the tariff
from the President. Besides speak
er Crisp, who spent some time with
the President, in the discussion of
the tariff question, Representative
McMillin of Tennessee of the ways
and means committee and one of
the house conferees also talked
with Mr.. Cleveland. Speaker Crisp
told members of the house who were
anxious to get away, that he
thought the session would last UNI
til next Tuesday. Mr.. McMillin did
not discuss the tariff bill with the
President.
Chairman Wilson is expected back
from West Virginia today, but he
was not about the house during the
session.
