THOUGHT IT WAS A GHosT.-Some
practical jokers on "Wednesday night
clothed the fire plug on Christ Church
corner on Washington street in white
for the purpose of making it look like q
ghost. The perpt traitors Of the joke
then secreted themselves for the pur-
pose of witnessing the effect it would
produce on certain colored individuals
who would pass that way on their re-
turn home from an entertainment in
the northern part of the city. The
parties expected soon afterwards
came along, and the antics of some of
the belated individuals are said to have
been amusing. A number of the party
espied the object half square away
and took care TO cross to the opposite
side OF the street. Others came close
upon the plug before they noticed it, nd
went out into the street, passing around
the supposed spook and at convenient
distance from it. None, it is said, had
sufficient nerve to come in close enough
proximity to examine the object, and
most OF those who saw it had blood
curdling stories to relate when they
reached their homes.

BREAK IN TIE Hot WAvE.-As was
ioretpld by the Weather Bureau yes.
! t: rday, the torrid wave which bad
lowered over this part of the country
| for alb Ut month was broken last
night by copious rains, thunder and
! lighting and cooling winds. Between
five and six o'clock in the evening u
thunder cloud passed around the city
aud into Maryland. The opposite
country got the rain and Alexandria
the wind, and for a short
time the blow Was heavy. Clouds
of dust were waited through the
streets and at times it assembled in
spiral columns when the flaws were
more severe. A beautiful rainbow
spanned the eastern heavens as the
cioud settled upon the Maryland hills.
The weather subsequently became un-
certain as the clouds gathered and
iloated ominous'y overhead Between
niue and ten O'Clock a series of show
ers set in which continued until after
midnight. At times the downpour was
very heavy, flooding the streets and
sewers and Frightening up psrched
vegetation which had suffered to q
great extent from drought. Thunder
ana lightning accompanied most of the
showers. The temperature during the
night took decided tumble, and this
morning cool and refreshing breezes
We're hailed with delight by both man
ard beast.
