The weather Continues Hot.

The weather prophets hold out no pros
pect of immediate relief from the torrid
conditions OF the past four days. There
have been no prostrations, fortunately,
and so far the farmers alone have been
the sufferers. There was very decided

An officer of the Richmond Railway
and Electric Company said yesterday that
the travel on the 9TH while IL did not
equal that of any of the days during the
reunion, exceeded by far all expectations.
Long experience. he says, has demon
strated that these days of heavy travel
are invariably followed by days of de-
pression, which serves to even things up.
