COLDEST BUT ONE,
November Almost Established .
New Weather Record

At II O'Clock last night the last record
was made of the most altogether can
tankerous month of November in the
annals OF the local weather bureau. 1t
was the coolest November; the Wettest
the citizens of st. Paul have ever en-
dured. There were only two clear
days during the entire month and the
cold for the same season has never
been surpassed, or even approached but
once before, and that in 1881, when the
average temperature was % degrees.
the same record made in the month
just passed. While the cold in 1881 was
as severe as that Of this year there
were none Of the other conditions pre-
vafent which made the month OF No
Vember, 1885, one to be remembered.
The cloudy weather which prevailed is
remarkable from the weather mixers
standpoint, there having been seven
teen days when the sun could not break
through its coverings of dark colored
vapOrs. This was sufficient to char
acteriZe the month as out Of the ordi-
nary, but when the records show that
precipitation, either rain or snow, fell
on seventeen days, also the abnormal
conditions are even more fully recog
nized.
The last three days of the month
have been exceptionally cold, SO degrees
below the. normal prevailing through
out Saturday, Sunday and Monday
This means that the mercury has been
lowering about and below the zero
peintg for. seyenty-tweS hours. each day

BURROUGHS NOT FOUND.
Missing Mail Clerk Is Still in the
Snow.

Henry M. Burroughs, the railway
mail clerk who left his car at Devils
Lake, N. D., during a fierce blizzard
last Thursday, has not yet been found
and it is feared that he perished in the
storm. Searching parties have been
engaged in hunting for the missing
man since his disappearance, but the
LEGAL branch of the railway mail ser
vice, which is in communication with
the officials at Devils Lake, has receiv-
ed no news Of the finding of Mr.. Bur-
rcughS, either dead or alive. Mrs.
Burroughs, who with their two child
rem, resides in st. Paul, has been In
formed of the disappearance of her
husband and is overcome with grief
over his probable fate.
Maurice O'ConnOr, who was in the
car with Burroughs when he left to
carry telegram to the depot. returned
to ST. Paul yesterday, but could add
little to the telegraphic reports Of the
unfortunate occurrence, Our train, "
said he, was on the side track about
three blocks from the depot, and when
Burroughs left the car the blizzard
was at It's height. He said he was 60
ing to the depot and to a restaurant.
but inquiry shows that he did not visit
either place. The storm was the worst
in years and it seems likely that Bur-
roughs must have lost his way and
perished in the snow
When the storm subsided, huge
drifts of snow completely covered pas
senger and freight cars in the railroad
yards, and it is thought that the search
which is being conducted, will ultimate
ly discover Burroughs body beneath
one Of these snow piles.
NJ. J. Woulfe, chief clerk in the local
Office of the railway mail service, went
to Devils Lake Sunday evening to as
sist in finding the missing man.
Burroughs has been in the employ OF
the railway mail service for about
seven years and he is given an. excel
lent record by his superiors. His family
lives at $40 George street in this city.

MAY NOT ELECT YET,
School Superintendency May B
Left Open for a While.

1t is probable that when the school
boards meets tomorrow. no decisive ac-
ton viii be taken in regard to the
election of superintendent to succeed
c. B. Gilbert, who recently resigned.
1t has been expected that the election
| would occur tomorrow afternoon, but
some Of the members of the board de-
sire to investigate at greater length
some Of the aspirants to the position,
and for that reason the election will
probably be deferred. A member of the
board, in conversation with a G o {
reporter yesterday, expressed the be-
lief that as soon as the members OF
the board had generally agreed upon
one man, a special meeting for the elec-
tion would be called by President Alb
bott. This Is, of course, on the Suppo-
sitfon that tOmorrows meeting will be
reSultleSs as regards the superinten-
dency. It is the general sentiment of
the board that the majority and min
ority lines should not be closely drawn
in the board, and in view of recent
disturbances, the members Of the board
are all anxious that some one should
be chosen who may have the hearty CO.
operation not of four, but of all seven
members of the board, condition that
might not exist should the election
follow a spirited contest ending in a
close vote.
One of the latest, and apparently
the most promising candidates to fiji
the vacancy, is Prof. Virgil. C. Curtis,
who was formerly superintendent OF
the schools at Saltwater and Winona
in this state, but who subsequently,
went to New Haven, Conn. Two years
ago, Prof Curtis refused to become q
candidate for reelection, and at thar
time the position was offered to Super
intendent Gilbert. of this city, but de-
clined. Mr. Curtis went abroad, re-

LECTURES FOR WOMEN.
Annual Series Begun in the Farm
ers' Institutes.

The annual series OF lectures for
women in connection with the state
farmers institute work began yester-
day. The women lecturers this year
are Miss Mary c. Thomson, OF Mime
apols whose subject is Domestic
Economy" and Mrs. Ina Tillson, who
discusses Poultry"
Miss Thomson gives two lectures in
each place and this year they will en-
brace meat cookery, including chicken,
beef and eggs. and cereals, including
bread mullins and mushes of all kinds.
A few Of the simpler and more valu-
able ways Of cooking common yege-
tables are given when practicable. An
Introductory lecture on food analysis
with a view to learning the value OF
the various foods is given, which is
suggestive and interesting, rather than
elaborate and technical
Mrs Tillson has lectured in the Min
nesota institutes for three years, and
had lectured occasionally in the Wis
consin institutes before coming here.
Her topics include shelter, care of the
chickens, marketing Of eggs, diseases,
feeding and incubators. Her lectures
are attended quite largely by the men.
and are given in the regular, general
meeting a part of the time She is re-
garded as an authority. =

ne said was probably too far ahead for
the council to consider, but in his opin-
ion the only true solution was to have
the cars run down Second street to Sib-
ley and over that street to Fourth.
Fifth or Seventh. His plan was to
have elevated tracks built on Second
street from Robert around to Fourth
and Sibley. This he claimed would get
the cars out Of the way Of traffic and
also give plenty Of room. He admitted
that his scheme was several years
ahead of the city, but thought this
would be the final solution of the
problem.
No one seemed to take kindly to this
proposition. so Mr.. Thompson sug-
gested an Independent belt line for con-
Sideration. This line was to run down
Fifth to Sibley to Third to Robert to
Seventh to WabaSha. With cars run
ming every three minutes on this belt
and connecting with all lines passing
all the principal hotels and the retail
district, Mr. Thompson said, was
all that was needed. This second prop
oSition was also something of a frost
and as by this time Aid. Bigelow and
Donahower and Assemblymen DAILY
and Krahmer had Joined the party a
discussion followed as to why the as
sembly had failed to pass the Broad
way loop ordinance. The discussion
developed nothing new except Mr.
Kirke was advised to amend his Grand
avenue resolution in some way and
send 1t to the board of aldermen meet
ing this evening. Mr.. Thompson and
Mr. Craig stated that they did not
want to block legislation and imme-
diately after this declaration the Grand
avenue question was laid over for two
weeks.
The ordinance allowing the North
western Telephone company the right
to erect poles in alleys between Thomas
and Edmund and Dale and Mackub1n
streets was recommended to pass. Mr.
Reardon said Assemblyman Mabon had
said it was all right and with this
stamp of approval the measure received
the sanction of the committee.

The normal for the month was 81 de-
grees, while the average temperature
reached % degrees. The unusual
amount of precipitation can readily be
seen from the statement that the nor
NAL Is about one-twelfth and the fall
this year was between and z. Snow
has fallen to the depth of fourteen
inches, and yet the peculiar conditions
of the month have left but a mere trace
at its close. The heaviest precipitation
for twenty-four hours was on the 25-26
when 2.77 inches was recorded. The
heaviest fall for five minutes was on
the same day when IL inches were reg
istered at the weather bureau. But
November and it's eccentricities have
given way to December, and, with, the
change, st, Paul is promised a slight
rise in the temperature, due to an area
Of low barometer, which Is lowering
around to the west and will act as a
neutralizing agent upon cold wave
which has set it's face toward the
Twins from the North. Both areas
are due to the central locally today
and, though no great change will be
appreciable in the conditions, it is the
assurance of the weather bureau that
there will be a slight moderation.

all that was done was to talk about

as soon as the resolution Introduced by

dropped in as If by magic.
Mr. Craig said that 1t was useless to
talk about having a switch in front of
the union depot on Sibley street for the
Grand avenue cars to run as pro-
posed by the Kirke resolution. There
was not room for loop without taking
some of the union depot property and
this could not be secured as the depot
