1T WAS A WARM SEPTEMBER.
Month just Finished Was a Record
Rreakinge Period.

In his monthly review of the prevail
ing weather conditions, Local Observer
Lyons says:
There are many remarkable notes. and
some unprecedented statements to be made
about the weather that prevailed at st. Paul
and vicinity during September, 1897, fore
most OF which are the high temperature and
the unbrohen stretch of clear weather. and
comparative tranquil atmosphere that set in
on the 18th and continued over the end of the
month, with maximum temperature of So
degrees on each of the last two days; that
is two degrees higher than the maximum of
the wdrmeSt day OF last August its monthly
mean is also ? degrees higher than that of
August, four higher than that for last June;
July, OF course, was warmer by degrees,
but that is the only month of this year that
beat last month; there have been several cor
responding months in very recent years that
had warme] spells of short duration but
last month s average is 2 degrees in excess
OF the Warinest previous month Of which
there is a record.
The average September temperature for this
vicinity, as determined from the last twenty
seven years data, is Sc degrees, the mean
for the month in question is 6S degrees; the
previous warmest September in 1891, its
mean being &c degrees; the coolest one in
the last twenty-seven years is credited to
1873, with mean of "a degrees; highest Or
maximum temperature last month, 80 degrees
registered on the Sd, 9TH and 5th; lowest or
minimum, SO degrees registered on the 2Osh;
there were heavy and light frosts on the
mornings of the 18th and 20th and for the
first time this season, tender vegetation in
low lands was seriously, and in some in
stances fatally affected but vegetation on
more elevated places escaped and at the
close of the month was in vigorous growth
The average rainfall, determined same as
temperature, is 2-92 inches, only 1.33 or less
than half of that fell last month, and all of
it on eight days, about equally divided be
tween the list and 18th, after which date
there was absolute dryness: the correspond
ing month in 1882, 1889 and 1891 each had
less rain, but any one of the rest had from
O39 to S.G2 inches or more; the dryest one
was in 1882, and the wettest in 1881. the
amounts being OPT of an inch and 995 inches
respectively.
The wind blew oftener from southeast than
from any other point; total wind movement
in miles, all directions considered, 1894;
highest velocity, northwest, 30 miles, deter
mined from five minutes record on the 4th
There was a better stage of water in the
Mississippi river than is usual for September
and it was notably steady, the gauge read
mgs not being less than As nor more than
90 feet each day, the monthly average being
40 feet.

PIETRO WAS sKITTIsH.
Son of Sicily Tried Ito Escape From
the Police.


Pietro Marcelli, swarthy son Of
Sicily, cor perhaps Italian" was sun
ming himself in Smith park yesterday
forenoon when Detectives DAILY and
Murnane rudely Interrupted his vision
of the old country. They took hold of
PietrO by each arm and told him that
he must go Withthem to the police sta
ton. Pietro demonstrated and insisted
implored or begged them not to arrest
him. Then he made a break for lib
erty, but the detectives quickly over
hauled him. The detectives then
boarded cable car with their prison.
er. The car had gone scarcely block
when 1.-The flat-footed Sicilian,' as Ser
geant Frank Horn designated him,
made another attempt to escape, but
again the detectives were too quick
for him.
After arriving at the central station.
Pietro was duly tabled, and the Of
ficers preceded to search his cloth
ing, as is customary. They found a
purse containing 80 cents. But in this
case the search was carried further
than usual, as it included not only
Pietro's clothing, but 'Pietro himself.
For Pietro is wanted in Missoula,
Mont, for the larceny of several hun
dred dollars. So the officers took Pietro
upstairs and stripped him of his cloth
ing. When one of them pulled off
Pietro's left stocking, the sum of SIS
in bills Of various denominations was
found concealed in the heel.
But this was not all. When Pietro
was obliged to remove his under neither
garments, the officers observed that
Pietros left knee was partially sur
rounded by leather bag or impro
vised wallet made of boot legs and
worn next to the skin on the under
side of the knee. Upon examining the
leather receptical, which consisted of
two pieces of a boot leg sewed togeth-
er on three sides with common Irvine
and buckled at one side, this leather
contrivance, when opened, was found
to contain exactly $500 in cash The
money was put up in four small en-
velopes, three of which contained 500
each in SIC bills. while the fourth en-
velop contained $500 in 500 bills
Pietro didn't want to be searched.
When he discovered that his clothes
were to be removed, he declared that
but his pTotestations were of no avail.
The arrest was made in accordance
with instructions te1egraphed by the
sheriff of Missouia, Mont, who charges
Marcelli with having stolen some $500
or more from four Italian fellow Ia
borerS, who were working in the vi
cinity of Missoula. The sheriff of Mis-
SOula was advised of the capture of
Marcelli, and he at once wired back
instructions to hold the prisoner until
he could procure the necessary requisi-
ton papers and reach ST. Paul.

The United States circuit court of ap-

Judges Sanborn, Thayer and Riner on
the bench. On the opening of the court
Judge Sanborn, presiding, said:
Hon. William A. Spencer, clerk of
the United States district court for
the district of Minnesota since 1863,
passed away on Sept 20, 1897, and his
funeral services will be rendered this
afternoon. Genial, kindly and lovable
in all his domestic and social relations,
his death has inflicted a sad and last
ing personal loss upon all who knew
him. and especially upon the speaker,
who was his next door neighbor for five
years in early life. A man of lofty
character, marked ability and sterling
integrity, he discharged the responsible
duties of his Office fer more than a
quarter of a century with a zeal and
fidelity which we believe have never
been excelled in this land. Out of re-
spect to his memory, this court will ad-
---o - -.'o'~~L this afternoon, and
it's members will attend his funeral"

NO MORE JOKING GOES.
William McHaIe VIII Let the other
Man Do IT.

William McHale will not attempt jokes on
strangers again. That was his quiet de-
elaration yesterday The other night he and
Stanley Gordon were at Washington and Hill
streets, near the central police station, when
McHale thought he would have some fun
with William Page, colored man, who is the
business manager of a little lunch stand at
that spot.
1I'll make him believe that want him.
said McHale, and walking up to Page re-
marked Hello; you're the man I've been
looking for for two years..
Page reckoned not, but MeHaIe insisted,
and said Come along here" Page began
to YELL and McHale threw him down. The
yelIs attracted the officers at the central sta
ton and they ran out and arrested McHale
and Gordon. Page made it good by saying
he had been robbed of fifteen cents. So the
men were charged with attempted robbery,
and McHale's bail fixed at 81, COO When the
police learned later the actual facts in the
case and that McEiale has a business of his
own, the absurdity of charging him with
attempting to rob man OF fifteen cents
dawned on them. But matter how ridic-
ulous an arrest turns out afterwards, the
police have to try and make some charge
stick In this case the most they could
do was to change the charge to disorderly

FRANK J. ROBERTS FOUND IN AN
UNCONSCIOUS CONDITION FROM
ITS EFFECT
WORK FOR THREE DOCTORS.
AFTER SEVERAL HOURS LABOR
THEY MANAGED TO PULL HIM
THROUGH
HAS NOT BEEN IN GOOD HEALTH,
Which Is the Reason Why He Is
Thought to Have Intended
Suicide.

Frank j. Roberts, a packer in the
employ of Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk & Co,
swallowed big dose Of laudanuln yes
terday, it is believed, With suicidal in
tent That Mr.. Roberts did not ac-
complish his purpose was due to the
incessant attention and labor of three
physicians, who worked over him from
shortly after / p m. until midnight.
Mr. Roberts took the laudanum after
he had reported for duty yesterday
morning. He was employed as pack
er and was at work on the second floor
of the building. About 8 o'clock in the
morning he complained of not feeling
we'll and said he thought he would go
up stairs and lie down for a while.
Some of his fellow workmen, who no
ticed that Roberts looked haggard,
and who thought that he had taken
something not good for him, suggested
that it would be better for him to go
home, where he could be taken care
of. But Roberts, knowing what he was
about to do, went upstairs to the
sixth floor.
That was the last seen of Roberts
by anybody until shortly after
1 o'clock in the afternoon.
when one of the employees on
the sixth floor saw him stretched out
on a pile of gunny sacks, apparently
asleep. But on approaching close to
him, the workman noticed the discol-
ored condition of Roberts face and at
once notified the people downstairs.
Physicians were summoned immedi-
ateIy, Drs. Louis Benepe and t. H.
Johnson responding first. DR.. REM ar
rived later, and the three physicians
worked over the unconscious man for
hours.
They found on the floor beside Rob
erts two empty walls, one an ounce and
the other a half ounce vial, that had
recently contained laudanum.
Shortly before 5 p. m. the physicians
deemed it best to have Roberts remov-
ed to a hospital, and accordingly the
city ambulance was summoned and
the unconscious man conveyed to Be
thesda hospital, where the physicians
continued the work of restoration.
About D. m. Roberts first evinced
signs of consciousness. Three hours
later the physicians got him up and
on his feet and began the walking
process. At midnight he was consider
ed out of danger.
MI Roberts is a man about forty
five years old, who lives with his wife
<and sixteen-year-old daughter at 1872
South Robert street. He has been in the
employ of Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk & Co
for three years. Mr. Kirk, when seen
yesterday, said that the only motive
he could ascribe for the attempt of
Roberts to kill himself was ill health,
from which he had been suffering for
some time. 1t was also possible that
Mr.. Roberts had worried over financial
affairs Mr.. Kirk said that Roberts
was not a dissipated man and that he
attended faithfully to his work. OF
late he had complained of being I'M

FROM SUMMIT TO LEXINGTON.
Talk of a Through Asphalt Pave
ment on SeIby.

Several citizens of Selby avenue have
been quietly discussing the past few
days the question of asking the city
to pave that avenue with asphalt, from
Summit avenue to Lexington avenue,
to a connection with the Lexington BIZ
cycle path. The pavement of cedar
blocks on Selby, from Summit to Vic
toria, is in such bad shape that it will
at best have to be rebuilt in a year or
so. Residents of the avenue argue
that a new asphalt pavement from the
top of the hill to Lexington would
make the street one of the finest
on the hill, in spite of the fact that It
is traversed by the street railway,
and would so enhance the value of the
real estate on the street that the prop
erty owners would not feel the assess
ment, which will anyhow have to be
laid in the next two years.

WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS
Must Be Something That Everyone
Ou.ht toAHaye.

Ought to- Have.
There is one thing universally desir-
ed and it is something that more peo-
pie might possess if the dictates of rea-
son and common sense were more gen.
orally needed. Everyone wants good
health, and nearly everyone might have
it by keeping the blood rich and pure,
the appetite good and the organs of
the body in a healthy condition by the
use of Hoods Sarsaparilla. It is just
the medicine to take at this season to
guard against the dangers which
threaten the physical system.
