The sixth day of the death-dealing
weather did not reach by one degree
the maximum temperature Of several
preceding days, the highest point touched
by the official mercury being 81 degrees
Many thermometers, however. not Sc
fortunately located, showed a range
from 97 to 105. At IL o'clock tonight there
was aheavy local storm and the tenn
perature dropped five degrees in about
as many minutes. The wind blew 46
miles an hour during the storm. This
storm seemed to have little effect upon
the general conditions. and soon after 1t
ceased the mercury commenced to rise
once more.
The police reported twenty-four
deaths today in which the extreme heat
is supposed to be the real contributing
cause.

climate here Is also good enough for
anybody. The city itself, however, is
far from being clean, though by no means
as filthy as Chicago. If all the money
annually squandered or stolen by a
reckless city government were wisely
expended this metropolis could be kept
so clean the year round that no dirt or
smut or annoying particles of matter
would ever be whirled through the
streets and into peoples faces by the
cool, refreshing winds from the oceap aS
heard from. in any other portion of the
United States. 1t will never be visible
until the people of some municipality
throw off the shackles of partyism and
resolve that municipal government shall
be conducted strictly on business prin-
cipleS, and so as to conserve the rights
and promote the best interests of all
concerned.
LIVELY POLITICS
The political cauldron is beginning to
boil quite lively Several congressional
candidates in the San Francisco d1-
tricts are already in the field. In the
Fourth district Judge Mcguire will have
the pleasure of beating two RepublicSn n
candidates, that party having hiA r
| iously split itself into two factions and
! put two candidates in the field. One
! candidate is Misther O'Bren, 'be jab-
| ers," and the distinguished and thor
oughly honorable Ex-Assemblyman
Henry George Observation-Disclosures
is the other. Voters in the district who
are determined to sling in Republican
| ballot can take their choice between
these two talented Yankees. But nc
matter whether there We're one, two, OF
a dozen, c. o. T. candidates, the Fourth
district is practically solid for Mcguire
! and he will be returned for a third tern
| by tremendous plurality. In the Fifth
| district, which includes about thirt
| of the population of San Francisco ant
| the entire counties of San Mateo ant
Santa Clara, Kelly, the Democratic can
didate, will also be opposed by two Re
publicans. At least such is the prospect
as Ex-Assembly>san Julius Kahn il

candidate, Notwithstanding the fact tina

is now affirmed that W. F. Beck of Oh

Connecticut Railway Affairs.

At to-day's meeting of the directors
of the New Haven Railroad company
it is authoritatively stated that the reg
ular quarterly dividend of per cent
will be declared. The earnings of the
road for the present quarter are report
ed to be satisfactory, and the dividends
thus far fully earned, in addition to
charging to operating expenses more
than 81 900 spent for new equipment
and construction. Another subject to
be considered at the meeting is the
financing of the new Boston terminal
company, for which several millions OF
per cent. twenty-year bonds are to be
issued, and the purchase and electrify-
ing of the Waterbury, Meriden and
Cromwell road.
The fast Air Line train at and after
the end of this month will stop at New

A decision made by Judge Ralph
Wheeler Thursday in the case of the
New England Co against the Hartford
and New Britain trolley parallel IS
apparently a bad set back to the latter
enterprise in its long contest with the
New England and New Haven COM
panies, which has lasted for year and
half. The contention in the case by
the steam companies has in the last suit
been based on the lines of Judge Han
decision last year against the public ne
cessity and convenience of the proposed
parallel, and Judge Wheeler now re-
| fuses to dissolve the injunction granted
| by Chief Justice Andrews against the
! trolley line while allowing the trolley
companies to ask such a modlhcation
as viii let them proceed with the con-
struction on private property. A part
of the new trolley parallel IS upon q
highway, and Judge Wheeler's decision
is apparently of a pretty radical char
acter in its bearing upon the case
which is the most important of the
many steam and trolley contests in the
| state,
