THE HEATED TERN
Confined Yesterday. but was Broken by a
Small Storm.

The heated term was continued yes
terday with great eclat and much per-
spiration, considerable profanity and
general discomfort. In fact, the con-
tinuous performance being given by
the weather department is going to
hurt the administration unless there is
a speedy and complete return tC
more congenial temperature. People
are becoming tired of incessantly
changing their clothes and perpetually
making unsuccessful endeayors to ind
a cool place.
There was an early promise, yester-
day morning, Of another scorcher. Al
Z a. II. the mercury at Schnepfs lndl-
Gated II degrees, with q strong upward
tendency, which was maintained until
SO was marked at mon. This figure
was not exceeded, happily, because
scattered but heavy clouds began to
blow cut of the west soon after noon,
and during the early portion or the
afternoon there were decided lndlca-
lions of storm. At ) O'CLOCK the
mercury was still at So, and this was
held until nearly four, when there was
a slow decline because Of a heavily
clOuded sky, and soon after four O'CLOCK
the expected storm broke. 1t was
mild one, but 2S Of an inch OF rain
falling, but a cool breeze came with
the rain, and the thermometer grad
ually dropped to SO at Z o'clock. At
O'Clock there had been an advance
again to "a, and the air was sultry,
but at 10 o'clock 81 was the figure,
and thenceforth there was a slow but
steady fall during the night. At 10
o'clock last night the barometer was
1920 inches and falling very slowly,
and the indications promised more rain
for to-day, with cCO.er weather.
While many people naturally felt the
effects of the intense heat, there were
10 serious cases of prCstration in the
city, as far as could be learned which
is q good record for a city of this size,
under the exceptional conditions which
have prevailed. WOrkmen in the in
dustrial plants have had fiery ordeal
Of it, however, and in a number of
cases men had to knock off labor.

OF a Novel Character on Exhibition "A nil
ngan EiihIn Co.'S.


Yesterday and last evening large
number Of musical people called at the
place of business OF Milligan, Wi1hil
& Co. to listen to and examine a new
insJument there on exhibition. 1t is
the Angelus Orchestral, manufactured
by the Wilcox & White Co. and which
combines the organ and piano, either
sngly or in unison, at the will of the
performer. The instrument is auto
matte so far as the playing is concern
ed, the performer simply working the
pedals and managing the stops for the
proper effects. Alone, the instrument
is an organ, but when backed against
the keyboard OF a piano-any piano
the organ can be cut off, and piano mu-
sic is g result, the organ, however, be-
ing interpolated at will, or the two in
struments united in most pleasing
manner.
Callers at Millfgan, Wilkin & Co. S
warero0ms will be shown this unique
instrument, and its salient points will
be fully explained.

SUSPENSION OF THE WORKMAN

The suspension Of Tom" Saulsbury's
Ohio Valley Workman is to be regret
ted. 1t was a lively weekly, conscien-
tiously edited by its proprietor, and it
covered the local field in a readable
manner. Its industrial news was al
ways interesting and at times there was
a quaint brightness in the labor items
which attracted wide attention. The
inside truth Of the failure. perhaps. lies
in the fact that the wOrkingmen no
longer have surplus money for even a
paper published in their own interests.
There was a time in Wheeling when
Editor Salisbury would have annually
netted a good thing out of such a pa
per as he printed, but that time is
past.

OF THEM THINKS.

The fact has been noted before in
the Register that the Dawson pottery,
of the Eighth ward, was shut down on
account OF financial difficulties and
might not resume. The condition of
the affairs Of the pottery is quite seri-
Gus, from the information Cbtainable,
and it looks as if the industry is a
thing of the past. A stockholder, in
speaking about the affairs Of the pot
terry yesterday, said that the entire
stock amounts to siXty-slX shares,
which represented $500. Forty-six
shares of this stock, ne said had been
taken out and the balance was expected
and arranged to have been taken at the
reorganization of the pottery, few
months ago.
The new stockholders, however,
learned something more of the condi-
tiOn Of affairs after the charter of the
new company had been secured, and
when the moment arrived they refused
to take part in the concern or put their
money in They all stayed out with
the exception of one who paid over the
amount for five shares. The principal
reason given for the new men refusing
at the last moment to go in was that the
OLD company was in debt $1,000 and
they were not willing to bear any part
of this.
The stakeholder who was speaking
OF the matter yesterday said that an
effort would probably be made to force
the new stockholders to take out stock,
but he was firm in his mind not to have
anything more to do with the business,
as he was much displeased with the way
it had been run. He said that
members of the company had borrowed
sums of money from whOmever they
could get it and given checks in pay
ment that were absolutely worthless.
He said the difficulty and the untimely
end of the enterprise was ne. due to
lack of orders, but solely to bad man
agement. The pottery has been closed
down fer some time and seems TO be
unlikely to resume for a considerable
length of time.
TRUST WANTS MORE TINE.
1t is said the promoters Of the pot
terry trust have fonud it impossible to
bring all details to a head by Septem-
Der %, the date of the expiration of
their options On the plants. They nave
therefore asked for an extension OF
the operations until December 81, and
il is said the East Liverpool manu-
facturers at least. are perfectly Will
ing to grant the request.

This morning at five minutes after
twelve o'clock the second section of
Baltimore and Ohio freight No. 81, east
bound, struck Samuel Humes, an oil
and very we'll known resident of the
Eighth ward, at Forty-third stIeet and
instantly killed him.
Details of the accident were very
difficult to obtain, as it was only by the
most persistent enquiries that anyone
could be found who knew any more
than the bare fact Of the death.
From what could be astertained, how
ever, Humes was walking en- the track,
and was probably on his way to his
home at No. 1858 Wetzel street, when
hit. The first section Of the train pass
ed him all right, and he probably step
ped back on the track aid resumed his
walk, only to be struck by the second
section.
The police and Coroner Schultze were
promptly notified OF the accident, and
the latter directed that the remains be
taken to the home Of the deceased,
where an official enquiry will probably
be held to-day.
Kumes was a boiler by trade, work
ing in Benwood, and was a native Of
the Eighth ward. He was about sixty
years CT age, and his wife and several
children, some Of the latter married.
