DID NOT FIND A BREEZE.
People Who Went TO ThunderboIt
for II Were Disappointed,

1t was not breezy time at Thunderbolt
yesterday. A large crowd from the city
thought it was retreating from the heat
by going out, but on getting there found
the air more sultry, if anything, than il
was in the city.
All the afternoon there was a steady
movement to Thunderbolt. The street
railway did not have a larger crowd than
it could handle conveniently however.
Frequent comment is heard about pro-
viding separate cars for the white and
the colored people. The need for this was
evidenced yesterday in the rush at the
Bolton street station where about seventy
five colored people were waiting on n
Thunderbolt car Neither the car nor the
trailer were uncomfortaby filled, vet the
white and colored persons We're abou,
equally divided IN each car. Had there
been regulations for this emergency. IL
would doubtless have been mutually agree
able for the whites to have occupied one
and the colored persons the other car.

There was only one bale Of hay in the

Cooley believes the fire was incendiary.

CATHEDRAL's SOLID SLATE ROOF.
Contractors Have Adopted Differ
ent Way of Attaching the Slate


There has been some anxiety on the
part Of the Cathedral contractors during
the past few weeks, owing to the predic-
tions Of storms. The spires have been
surrounded by false work preparatory to
putting on the slate roofs, which was
commenced several days ago This work
Is necessarily insecure, and a stiff blow
might take away this construction and
delay the work Unless an interference
of this kind comes soon, however. it can
not do a great deal Of harm as the roof
ing viii be nearly finished.
Contractor Bradt has adopted a differ
ent way OF roofing the towers from that
used when the spires were erected. Then
the slate was fastened to the iron by
means of hooks but there was no under
construction This allowed the wind to
pass through and to eventually work the
slate loose. and in some instances allow
ing 1t 10 fan from its place. This time
composition like mortar is being put
under the slate, thereby keeping out the
wind and making the roof solid mass
The composition not only keeps out the
wind. but also helps TO hold the slate in
It's place.
There docs not seem to be any doubt
about the Cathedral being completed by
Jan. l, 1900. The contractors think they
have progressed far with the building
already TO safely make the prediction
that they viii get through on time This
will be quite a satisfaction to the Cathed-
raj congregation. as they are looking for
ward with pleasure TO the time when they
Will again be installed in their old place

TRIED TO END HER LIFE.
Lula West. DevOured of Jealousy.
Wanted TO swallow CnrbOIic Acid.

Wanted TO Swallow CaFboIic Acid.
Lula West, col0red Genizen of the Ten
derioin, made a violent attempt at suicide
early yesterday morning. but was dragged
back from the brink of the grave by he
active eXertions Of another woman living
In the same house.
Mingled and desperate love and jealousy
caused as the saying Is, the rash act"
Lula's somewhat unstable affections had
been fixed for some time uuOn Henry
Brann one of her own color for whom she
entertained the tenderest affection. OF lale
she had been forced TO the conclusion that
Henry was not as constant as an absolute
fidelity would demand and in consequence
had been much wrought up and terribly
aRgrieved.
She was in this frame Of mind when she
determined TO end at once her misery and
her life. Selling the first available means
10 accomplish this end. that CHANGED in
this case TO be a bottle of carbolic acid, she
bade thecompanions Of her shame farewell
and raised the deadly poison TO her lips.
Before she could succeed In her purpose
of swallowing the contents one of the 9TH
or women had snatched the bottle from
her hand and dashed it to the floor She
who effected the rescue of the West wo-
man suffered more than did the would
be suicide. for the acid was poured In
profusion over her hand and burned her
severely
Lula's pains and groans were assuaged
by means Of some sweet Oil, which was
administered in profusion, and by the
loving exhortations of the repentant Hen
ny, who made many and fervent vows
of lifelong fidelity. This combination of
physical and moral antidotes for the poi
son had the desired effect and Lula be-
came in quite a few minutes as heartily
glad as any one else that her attempt at
suicide had not succeeded No damage
had been done and a hayward lover had
been brought again to her feet.
