THIRD EDITION. II WAS A RECORD BREAKER The Hot Wave of the Past Few
 Days. READING OF THERMOMETERS In the Various Cities Is Enough to Make One Perspire-A Harvest of Death
 at Philadelphia.
READING OF THERMOMETER

Washington, June 2.-The hot wave which has lowered over the eastern and middle sections of the United States during the past few days has been record breaker, and the officials at the weather bureau are unable at the pres ent time to predict any relief. There is an era of high pressure that is central over Tennessee which has caused the present excessive heat to be so intensely felt This high pressure which has per sistently lowered over Tennessee is known as the "permanent high" and has been contributed to very largely by southern winds. During the past twen- ty-four hours in western Pennsylvania and Maryland the temperature has not been quite so 3ligh, a falling off from 2 to degrees in different sections of those states having been noted
 These are some of the maximum tenn peratures reached: 94 at New York, 9S at Harrisburg, 96 at Philadelphia a4 at Pittsburg 94 at Baltimore and 96 at Washington At Philadelphia the rec ord has been broken by ? degrees. At Washington the thermometer has be n even higher than 96 at this time of the year, as In June, 1874, when the tempera- ture rose to 102, degrees warmer than it was today. In New York city it was 3 degrees hotter today than on any 2d of June in the past decade.
 The southern cities east of the Missis- sippi river have been feeling the effects of the hot wave to a great degree. The following are the cities in which records of high temperature for this date were made today: Vicksburg, 98, 2 above; Memphis, 9S, l above; Chattanooga, 8, 1 above; New Orleans, 94, above; Mo bile, 96, 1 above; Atlanta, 9S, above; Augusta, 100, 1 above; Savannah, 9S, l above; Charleston, 98, 1 above; Char lotte, 98, above; Raleigh, 98, above; Louisville, 9S, 2 above; Indianapolis, 9S, above.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the rec ord shows that the thermometer has been degrees higher in Washington than it marked today, it Is doubtful if the people and animals ever suffered more. The attendance upon the churches was seriously affected and every means of conveyance down the river and into the surrounding country was crowded. Hotel arrivals were the smallest for months. One of the visitors down the river was seized with hemorrhage in- duced, it is thought, by the extreme heat and died before reaching the city. He was Chris Kraft cigarmaker aged 40 years.
 James Murray a stone cutter, white. aged about 30, was overcome by the heat at the corner of Thirty-seventh and M streets, Georgetown, and died almost inn mediately.

their lots might be cast, and above all to crown their lives with the graces of Christianity. Mir. White is naturally possessed of a deep, rich oratund voice, which, combined with an ease and grace of gesture, commands the marked at tention Of his hearers at all times. The occasion was perfect, and sounded the key note of what points to the most in teresting series of exercises ever known in the history of Eufaula's loved insti- tuition.
 The machinery for the canning fac tory has arrived and is being put in po- sition this week.

A Negro Fiend Is Swung Up, But Let Down
 and Jailed.
 St. Paul, Minn., June 2-Ambrose Os- : borne, negro 2S years old, narrowly escaped death at the hands of mob at o'clock this morning at the corner of Lexington avenue and Inglehart street Shortly after o'clock Osborne entered the home of three sisters, Mag gie, Frda and Annie Mitchell, aged 23, IS and 15.
 Osborne seized Frida by the throat and began choking, her. The other sis- ters were awakened by the scuf1le and ran outto the street and gave the alarm Anton Mitchell, a brother, who lives close by, was the first to respond, and ran after the brute. The chase was a hot one foria mile, but the negro finally gave up and was brought back to Lexingt ton and Inglehart, where the whole neigh borhood had been aroused, appfised of the brute's act, and were ready for lynching bee. Osborne was led to a tree a rope secured and he was given a few minutes to confess. This he did, and he was swung to the limb of a maple tree. This threw the women into mysteries, and Mitchell, the captor begged that Osborne be spared. He was thereupon taken down and turned over to the po- lice. The whole neghborhood is very much wrought up tonight and it is pos sble another attempt will be made to lynch Osborne. He Is, however, under a strong guard.

THE CORRESPONDENTS RETURN

Delighted With Their Southern Trip-Sa-
 lient Features of the Itinerary.
 Washington June 2.-The Washington correspondents and their wives to the number of about eighty, who have been making a tour of several of the southern states for the past week, returned to town this morning. The trip was taken upon invitation of the Atlanta exposi- tion company and extended by the Southern railroad from Atlanta, the initial stopping place, to Chattanooga, Knoxville, Asheville and Hickory, N. C., at each of these places the party being the guests of the citizens during their stay. The trip was made in a special train of Pullman coaches, the first com plimentary train that the Pullman com pany has ever furnished, and despite the extremely hot weather in which the trip was made, 1t was delightful throughout and the party reached home in high spirits.
 The stay at Atlanta covered two days, the principal point of interest and at traction. of course, being Piedmont park, in which the buildings of the Cot ton States and International exposition are located. They are already in an advanced state of construction, and every promise is given that the exposition will reflect the highest credit upon its orig inators The grounds are admirably adapted for the purpose of the exposi- tion. the typographical features being such as to permit from the portico of every building view of all others.
 Memorial Day was spent on the battle field of Chickamauga under the person. al direction of Generals Boynton and Fullerton, members of the commission in charge of the park, who gave the vis- itors a graphic idea of the struggle, in which both bore prominent parts. They stated that at the dedication of the park, September 20 next, it is estimated that not less than 100,0 900 visitors will be pres ent, and Chattanooga Is arranging to entertain that number. Many if not most of these will extend their trip to Atlanta and witness the opening of the exposition there At both of these places, as well as Knoxville, Asheville and Hick- ory. the correspondents party were en- tertained at banquets at the principal hotels. enjoying In each of the places mu- nifcent manifestations of southern hos Ditalify

 2 Philadelphia. June 2.-The first cargo of iron ore from the mines of the Span ish-American Iron company. located on the south side of Cuba, arrived at this port tonight on the British steamship Massassoit. This cargo is the first ship ment of about 50,0OO tons of the ore which have been sold to pig iron manu- facturers in eastern Pennsylvania, and it has the double significance of indicating unmistakably revival of the iron trade and of promising a large amount of additional tonnage at this port.
 The SDanish-Amercan company has it's main office in New York, and is made up largely of capitalists who have been ac- tive in the iron ore business in the Lake Superior region. The Colbys and the Elys and the Rockefellers are the chief owners of the company

 Eufaula, June 2.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-Rev. J. L. White filled the pulpit at the First Baptist church yesterday morning, and filled to it's capacity. The pulpit and choir stands presented a living scene of loveliness in rich, growing, tropical plants of every description and rare roses that bloomed in beauty and breathed in sweetest fragrance, that made the scene at once enchanting. The occasion was the commencement sermon of the Union Female college, that had been anticipated with so much interest and pleasure. The pupils were all clad in beautiful gowns of immaculate purity, which were tastefully made after a smart fashion most becoming to their lovely faces and perfect forms and pre- sented a charming picture of the flower : like type of youth and innocence as they marched down the long aisles in couples and occupied reserved seats on either side.
 The services began with an opening chorus by the choir that was tender and touching. Following this Rev H. l.. Brooks offered a short prayer, followed by a song service, after which Rev. MT. White announced his text from Matthew xiii, 44-45-46.
 Mir. Whites sermon was an able and masterly effort. He urged upon the young ladies the importance of first seek ing the pearl of great price," God and His righteousness, and after that all these things would be added unto them. He impressed upon them in eloquent terms the importance of seeking the highest pinacle in whatever avocation
