Considerable excitement was
created at the ferry this morn

from the chalan on the Mexican

an old man, he was a good
swimmer, and managed to keep
up until a skiff reached him.
When the rowers pulled him
aboard, however, he was almost
exhausted, and had help been
delayed u minute longer, it is
probable that the poor old fell
low would have been added to
the numerous victims who have
been swallowed up by the Rio

frosty weather will prevail at the open
ing of October. The Venus equinox is
central on End, with first full moon fol-
lowing earth's equinox, on the 3rd, and
reactionary storms are due on and
about the 3rd, 9Th and 5th. 1t will be
ssafe to count on violent gales about the
lakes, and general storms over the
globe about this time. Early spurts of
snow will occur in northern regions,
and frost and some freezing are sure to
follow the storm In most parts of our
country. The 9th to 18th is a period
in which Mercury will unite with
Venus, and in which general gales and
storms must be expected. Rain and
sleet will be general, with snow in the
north, and sweeping change to cold
will come to most parts about 18th to
18th. About 18th to 10Th, a charge to
warmer, with many autumnal storms
will pass over the continent. Let lake
nsvigators be watchful of storms. The
same is true of storm period, 21st to

both periods. About 9th to 2Sth,
change to warmer, with rain, turning

The DURRANT TRIAL.-Phe defense
in the Durrant case in San Francisco
did yesterday that which it has often
urged the prosecution to do. Attorney
Deuprey called to the stand ffty-nine
members of the class to whom DIR.
Cheney lectured on tho afternoon of
April 8, and asked each of them If he
answered to Durrant's name at roll
call. Every answer was in the mega.
tive. Attorney Deuprey went further
and asked each student if he knew OF
any other member of the class who
had answered to Durrant's name.
Not one witness had any Information
on the subject. OF the students sum-
moned to the stand not one knew
whether Durrant was in the lecture
room in Cooper College on the day that
Blanche Lamont was murdered. Neither
could they call to mind any other stu.
dent who was there. 1t is expected
that the remaining fourteen members
of the class will be called to the stand
to day.
