quires that the bridge company must

for the. proposed bridge over the North

LOANING ACTORS.

I knew that England was a great III
try for circulating libraries, but I didn't
know till I saw it in Mr.. L~abouchere's
Truth that they a a system of cir
culating actors over there. Recently Mr..
Forbes Robertson, who was under a long
engagement to Mr.. John Hare, was
wanted by Mr.. Irving to create the part
of Lancelot in king Arthur" so Mr..
Hare loaned him. Then he wanted him
back to create the part of Lucas Cleeve
in 1.-THE Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmtth," and
Mr.. Irving politely. though no doubt re-
l%uctantly, returned him. AS for Mrs
Patrick Campbell, she is constantly being
loaned by her obliging Mr..
Beerboh1n Tree. 1t was as a loan that she
created the part that made her famous
Alexander's Theater. When Mr.. Tree
came to America. he loaned this popular
actress to MIR. John Hare, with the un-
Outstanding that she was to return to
him on call. The call was made, but Mrs.
Campbell did not respond. Such a sue
cess as hers in "Mrs. Ebbsmith', could
not be sinterfered with. Mr.. Hare raised
his bid and Mr.. Tree extended the time.
She has nov gone, forever, for she is to
play in Fedora" which Mr.. Tree is re-
hearsing at the Garrick.-Critic.

LONDON. June 4. 1S95.-Commodore
Hastings of the Cornell Navy has COM
pleted all of his arrangements at Henley
and gone to Southampton to await the
arrival of the Cornell crew on board the
steamer Paris. He has secured q good
boat for the extra men to practice in,
but is puzzled to know how Courtney,
the coach. is to follow the crew. Courtney
doesn't ride on horseback. he cannot pro-
pei a bicycle. he is not a Splinter and
he certainly cannot in a pair cared boat
keep up with a crew of eight. The
Thames conservators allow electric
launches to go at only a moderate rate
of speed for fear that their wash will
injure the banks: still Mr.. Hastings is
hopeful of being able to overcome the
difficulty.
announcement that New College, OK
ford. has decided to claim its own men
to row in the race for the Grand Chal-
lenge Cup. This will remove Pitman and
two other good men from the Leander
boat making the race muc more open.
Some difficulty has arisen concerning
the Dutch crew. but the stewards. who
will meet on Saturday, will probably
smooth it over.

OIL FIELDS ABLAZE
Houses Abandoned and Trains
Driven Back In PennsyIvania.

KANE. Pa, June A, 1S95.-Never before
has this place been threatened with so
much destruction as at present. The for
ests have been on fire since Saturday,
and all efforts to check the flames have
been unavailing.
Thefire has spread to West Kane, the
heat being SO intense that the fighters
menced tod esert their houses for places
of safety. Every spring is dried up, and
the place is at the mercy of the flames.
The fire is now raging In the oil fields
and has burned the oil well rigs, owned
by the Griffith Company. The Union Oil
Company has lost six rigs and three
tanks of oil James Campbell's saw mill
and over 100000 feet of logs have been
destroyed.
Eve men are reported to have per-
ished at Coon Run. The fire there IS
raging so flercely that the men who are
fighting the flames cannot get within a
mile of the spot where the houses stood.
South of Kane traffic on the Pittsburg
& Western Railway has been stopped on
account of the flames that are rolling
over the tracks. From Ormsby comes
the report that the traffic on the Brad
ford, Berdell and KinZua has also been
abandoned. The train from Smethport
ran into a hot place near Ormsby and
had to run back with great precipitation
to Smethport.
Great destruction is reported through
out the burning region, but the destruc-
ton of telephone and telegraph wires
render it impossible to-. obtain fuller de-
tails as yet.

SEVENTEEN VBT0ES.
Gov. Werts Sends to the Legis-
lature a Batch Of Bills
g None Very Important.
Special to the Jersey C:ty Meas.

TRENTON, June 4, 1895.-Of the sew
enteen bills left in the hands of Governor
Werts when the Legislature entered
upon it's recess last March, he returned
ten today with his objections to them.
Seven of these vetoed bills were House
measures and three originated in the
Senate. None was of very great import
ance.
The act providing for the payment of
wages semi-monthly by corporations
was vetoed because certain sections of
the bill were left out in the engrossing.
An act preventing justices of the peace
from holding court in the office of any
attorney was vetoed because the pro-
visions were too sweeping and because
the Constitution sufficiently provides for
any misdemeanors by such magistrates.
The Governor filed seven bills without
his approval. among them the following:
Reducing the salary of Prosecutors OF
the Pleas in second-class counties to
81, 500 per year; abolishing the poll tax
in first class counties; preventing trust
companies from doing an insurance
business and giving a majority of the
State House Commission power to act
instead of requiring the concurrence OF
all the members to make proceedings
valid.

ANOTHER sWELTERER COMING.
Weather Bureaus Disccuragfng Re-
port of Hot Waves.

WASHINGTON, June A 1895.-'This
mornings map marks the end of the
heated term said Observer McAdie, of
the Weather Bureau to a reporter for
the United Press. 1.-The forecast of
Sunday night for cooler weather in this
section of the country by Tuesday after
noon. has been anticipated by several
hours the fall in temperature in the
past twenty-four hours, along the north
Atlantic seaboard and the interior as
far as the Mississippi and Missouri val
leys has been from five to twenty de-
grees. New England and New York have
experienced the greatest degree of re-
lief, due to the precipitation in that par
ticular region. Washington enjoys a
~dinainution of ten degrees.
The old thigh" of Sunday, which was
coincident with the remarkably hot
weather, has been almost crowded off the
map into the Atlantic ocean. There is,
however, an area along the southeastern
Atlantic and the Gulf coasts where the
movement is exceptionally phlegmatic
and at present no relief can be prognos-
ticated for that part of the country.
The low" which was over New Mexi-
co Sunday in the fifty or sixty hours
entire width of the United states and
lnlS mOrIliS WdS located over NOTlueT
at has developed" continued Mr.. Nc
Adie, into what we call a deep low
toward which the grades of temperature
steeply decline. 1t will move east from
its present position, bringing rain, which,
it is probable, will extend as far south as
Washington. There is an element of I'M
certainty in the conditions consequent
upon rain fall which prevents us from
assuring our friends that it will be an
unalloyed pleasure While the tempera-
| ture NAV fall. as recorded by
the insensible thermometer, swell
a sensibly increased heat owing to the
| higher degree of humidity prevalent. "A
thunder shower which we expect here
| will clear the air somewhat. Rain has
fallen generally in the upper Mississippi,
and Missouri valleys and the Northwest;
| Carlo, Hannibal, Green Bay and Daven-
| port. At, M~oorehead, Mimi, the rain was
1.3-4 inches.
"a new high is making its way over
the Becky Mountain region from the
northwest Pacific coast" said Mr.. Nc
| Adie. at will come in on Sunday and
we've had our eye on it ever since. At
sas. , 1t IS not likely, however, to pro
duce a recurrence of the conditions that
have just ended"
A, special bulletin has been prepared by
the Bureau. giving data respecting the
| scope and intensity of the hot wave. 1t
shows that on Tune 8 the thermometer
reached 100 at Charlotte. Raleigh and
| vile, KY, Indianapolis, Ind, and Column

the United States was 80 at Rochester,
