STOLE A HORSE AND CARRIAGE.
Boys Make OFF with DIR. Kearney'.
Turnout, but Ii Is Recovered.

Two boys, of about fifteen years, took
DR.. Kearney's horse and carriage from
in front of his office on Wyoming ave-
nue., yesterday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock.
and drove off. When the doctor discov-
cred the absence of his turnout and
learned from Inquiries in the neighbor-
hood of how it had disappeared, he
notified police headquarters.
A description of the horse and car
riage was telephoned to the different
precincts and at 1880 o'clock last night
Lieutenant Zang, of the South Side,
sent in word that a turnout answering
the description of the stolen one had
been found tied to hitching post on
Beech street. One of the hostlers at
Cusick's livery, where the horse is
stabbed, went over and found that il
was the stolen property. The rear axle
OF the carriage was bent and the body
badly smashed, as if it had been in a
collision.
The South Side police claim to have
gained a clue to the boys and they will
likely be arrested today.

Concerning the recent period of swell
tering weather some interesting records
have been obtained by the Tribune
from II. e. Paine, the local observer of
the governments weather bureau. No
person in Scranton-or throughout the
country for that matter-needs to be
told that 1t has been hot, fearfully hot,
but there may be some consolation in
knowing that the temperature, accord
ing to the governments sensitive in
struments watched by Mr.. Paine, have
not registered the extremes reported
from less reliable quarters.
Before remarkng upon the actual
temperatures it might be well to state
the conditions under which the gov
ernment instruments are kept at the
corner of Madison avenue and Myrtle
street. The thermometers are con-
tained in box four feet from the
ground and supported by posts. The
box has a lattice work bottom, its four
sides are made of Stats and it's roof is
ventilated. The sun has no access to
it and it has a free circulation of air.
1t is so located that the temperature
within is not affected by heat rays from
nearby buildings nor from ground heat.
Three government thermometers are
contained in the box. Two are auto
matte. One of these records the high
est and the other the lowest tempera-
lures of the day, while the third rises
or falls according to heat or cold.
SATURDAY THE WARMEST.
Since July the highest temperature
was SO degrees on Saturday and the
lowest 80 degrees July 3. The highest
average or "mean" temperature was 70
degrees, recorded on the 5th, 9Th, 7th
and on Saturday. The greatest range
was on July 8, when the mercury. rose
from so to 80 degrees. a variation of
forty, and the lowest range was yes
terday, % degrees, from 70 to 81. In one
hour, however during the threatened
storm, from 4.30 to $50 o'clock, the mer"
curry dropped from 80 to 79, 10 degrees.
Following is a table of temperatures
and weather conditions for the last
eleven days:
