Fire at Cheltenham.

The large three-story residc..vl Of Mr..
E. E. Holloway, situated near the House
of Reformation, Cheltenham, burned to
the ground at 2.45 o'clock Monday morn
ing The origin of the fire is a mystery.
The flames wered discovered by Il colored
man, who lives in tenement nearby, who
ran over to notify Mr.. and Mrs. Holloway
who were sleeping But for this timely
awakening they ard their two children
would probably have persisted in the
flames
The fire seems to have started in the
Ii hen, and spread so rapidly that when
the residents were awakened they had
very little time to save any of the con-
tents. During this time heavy rain was
falling, and the wind being favorable,
kept flying sparks from the large barns,
which are among the finest in this vicinity.
The building was partly insured in the
American Fire Insurance Company, of
Baltimore.

Hicks Forecasts For May.

From 4th to It'll, falling barometer,
rising temperature and rain storms will
make their transit from the western to
eastern sides of the country. The full
moon and perigee on the 9Th and 18th,
indicate that forceful disturbances may
result ganerally about those dates. A
wave of quiet cool weather with frosts to
northward will most likely follow this
storm area. Watch tender things that
might be saved by reasonable precautions
in central and northern parts of the coun-
try.
If We are not greatly mistaken there is
much tendency to very active storms
each year from about the 10th to 18th Of
May. If we are right this tendency
will be increased this month by regular
storm period, central on the 10th. Look
for very warm weather and general de-
preston of the barometer, ending in heavy
storms, during this period.
Another fall of barometer, rise in tenn
perature and general return to storm con-
ditions will be the order about 18th to 18th
Change to high barometer and cooler may
rush in behind this low area, but change
to much warmer with a marked fall Of the
barometer, ending in series of daily rain
and thunder storms, may be reasonably
expected from the Goth to 24th. Watch
all vicious looking storm clouds about
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, 2lst to
23rd. If wind currents, temperature and
barometer do not change by the 23rd, a
daily cycle of rain and thunder storms
may be expected until such changes do
appear, even if they last up to and through
the reactionary period central on the 9th
to Goth. Very high barometer and change
to much cooler, with danger Of heavy
frost far northward, are very probable
high barometric area comes on from west
and north.
We do not calculate that May this year
will bring an unusual number of hard,
dangerous storms. The last half of June
and the first half of July seem from our
stand point of reckoning to promise more
violent disturbances than May We also
believe that there will be ample moisture
to mature all early crops over most parts
of our country. Many low lands are
likely to have too much rain in June.
Hot winds and drouth will affect the
regions west and northwest, the last half
of summcr and into the autumn. We
predict that good scasonable rains viii pre-
vail over all the south side of our CONT
SO that all who plant promptly and work
vigorously may hope to realize abundant
early rronS
