DEATH OF The COLD SNAP
Warmer and Pleasant Weather Is
Promised for Today.
-
There Is No Rain or Snow in Sight
and the Wave win Pass
Off Quietly.

Fair weather; slowly rising tempera-
ture; variable winds, becoming southerly"
are the indications for today, announced
by the Weather Bureau. This is possibly
the most agreeable piece OF local news
that will be published today on the always
fertile subject OF the weather.
The agony may be said to be over and to-
day people may be expected TO swarm out
OF doors like bees In the first sunshine
of spring. There was not much of the
buzz and hum or humanity yesterday. The
cold had made such a successful siege that
the social world was altogether indoors.
Zero or thereabouts is a great domesd-
Gator. There were more family reunions
for the past few days than there have been
within the last year. There were few
vacant chairs around the festive board or
the CRATE, especially the latter. All day
yesterday Washington reminded one OF
village from which the inhabitants had
gone out TO the cemetery to attend the
funeral OF the oldest 1ubabitant. The
cold was let severely alone with itself and its
discomforts.
The Weather Bureau came as near an
absolutely correct prophecy about this
wave as any one of the exact sciences. All
OF Prof. Morrill's predictions were fulfill
ed, even to the time OF the lowest tempera-
ture, which be said would be Sunday morn
ing and it took place after the midnight of
Saturday.
The mercury then stood at eight degrees
above zero. The temperature then began
to rise very slowly, and at midday yester-
day it had crawled up to eighteen above
zero. 1t then fell again to twelve above
zero at midnight last night, and will now
slowly rise In accordance with the prediction
of fair weather and slowly rising tempera-
ture.
According to the information from the
bureau there will be 10 sudden reaction of
any kind. There have been clouds. a little
rain and a little snow in the northwest
where the temperature rose twenty degrees
within the past thirty-six hours. No rain
or snow is expected here. -. --,.~......t
The center of the wave is now in northern
New England, and intense cold is sta
tionary in the Middle States and in the
has come in for the favorable change
which has taken place all the way from
Texas to the northern boundary OF Mary
land. 1t is likely that by midday the
ice will begin to thaw in the ponds along the
Potomac and this will be followed by a
break up of the masses of ice In the river
itself.
One of the absolutely reliable indica-
tions Of good weather to come was the fact
that last night there were no applications
for the housing of the tranlps at the police
precincts. z4o,.,,..l 90, 81.

Estate of William s. Stone.

The supreme court also rendered an
opinion in the matter of the estate of
William J. Stone, deceased.
The records in the case showed that
the estate was only of the value of
s56720 and the law provides that
estates of less value than S1,500 shall,
after the payment of certain expenses,
be set aside in their entirety for the
use of the widow and minor children.
The Eccles Lumber company, in
this case, claimed a lien of 1910 on the
estate for rent, and the court below
decreed that the claim was good and
the lien valid.
The supreme court opinion held that
period of "a days elapsed from the
date of the death of the lessee, when
his occupancy ceased, until the day
when the lessor instituted the proceed
ings before the justice of the peace,
claiming the benefit of a lien, and this
brought the action Of the lessor with
out the terms of the statute and his
lien was gone.
The cause was reversed and re-
manded with directions to the court
below to set aside the Objectionable
portion of the decree and modify the
decree so as to assign the whole of the
estate of the deceased to the widow
and minor children.
The opinion was written by Justice
Bartch and concurred in by Chief JUS
tice Zane and Justice Miner.
