TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Bartender Prevented "A Tragedy in
Wolf Johnson's Hotel.

A man, apparently 25 years Of age,
placed a loaded revolver to his head in
Wolf Johnsons hotel, on Penn avenue,
last night and was prevented from fir
ing only by the alertness of the bar
tender. A beer glass flung at the re-
volver saved the mans life. His iden-
tity is unknown. He entered the hotel
about 1880 o'clock and, after drinking
a glass of beer, fell back to a corner
of the room, where he remained silent
for more than an hour. His hands COW
cred his face most of the time and he
seemed to be brooding over something.
The unusual antie attracted the at
tention of the bartender and the half
dozen men in the place. They watched
him, but the young fellow seemed en-
tirely oblivious of the presence of any
one. Suddenly, as the men watched,
the mysterious man placed his hand in
his hip pocket and drew out revolver
Placing this to his forehead, he said
quickly: II will die"
Before his finger could press the trig-
ger, however, a well-aimed beer glass
from the hand of the bartender struck
the revolver and sent it spinning from
the fellows hand The other men In
the room then Dounced upon him and
threw hip, to the floor. He was taken
to the police station by the combined
strength of three men. They got him
as far as the door, but no farther
Patroman Thomas Lowry, who was
acting desk sergeant, was called and
succeeded in dragging the fellow to a
cell He is supposed to be demented.
The revolver, a 3S-calibre, will be
presented at the hearing before Mayor
Bailey this morning.

WEATHER DURING 1897.
Local Observer Paine Complies an Ia.
teresting Record For the Year.
December Was a Great Month.

The observations for 1897 of the gov
ernment's local weather observer in
Scranton, H. E. Paine, have been COM
piled and the conclusions furnish fig
ures and facts of not a little local i'm
port. This is especially so because of
the fact that comparisons may be made
with 1896, which was the first year In
which official, daily and regular obser-
vations with government instruments
and rules had been made in this city
or region.
With the figures for the whole Of the
year 1897 at his command, Mr.. Paine
announces that the average tempera-
ture for Scranton was AIS degrees,
which is probably colder than most
Scrantonians would have believed.
Possibly nine out of ten persons
would have guessed above fifty de-
grees, but Mr.. Paine's figures are cor
rect and are reckoned to the fineness
of hundredths.
During 1896 the average temperature
was 1922 degrees. This, Mr.. Paine
says, was an abnormal year in several
respects. 1t was 2.07 degrees warmer
than 1897. The 1896 rainfall was 1886
inches and that of 1897 was S3.49 inches,
a
of 1896 was colder than that of 1897, the
summer of the former year was the
hotter. This equalized the 1896 tenn
perature, but it was not withal as
equitable and, consequently, not as re-
liable for a standard as the year just
closed.
These conclusions are Mr.. Paine's,
not The Tribune's. His opinion is sup
ported by the record of his observa-
tions. 1t is further demonstrated that
