forming animals are three distinct
groups of trained elephants, taught in
different schools and entirely unlike.

Through the efforts of Congressman
William Connell and Secretary Dolph
b. Atherton. of the board of trade,
Scranton is to have, after July 1,
meteorological station.
Secretary Atherton received n letter
yesterday morning from Mr.. Connell.
stating that the recommendation of
Chief Moore, of the weather bureau.
that weather station be located here
had been favorably endorsed by Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson, and that
the official order for the establishment
Of the station will go into effect on
July 1.
For over four years Mr. Atherton has
been In correspondence with Mr.. Moore
upon the matter, 1t having always been
pet hobby of his. The project re-
ceived the hearty endorsement of Mr..
Connell, and the citizens of this city
owe much to him and to the board OF
trade for this recognition by the agri-
cultural department, as it places Scran-
ton in the same class with New York,
Philadelphia. Pittsburg, Baltimore, Bos-
ton and other large cities where
weather stations are installed.
Heretofore this city has only been
what is known as a signal station.
where weather flags were displayed
and records kept of the temperature,
rainfall, velocity of wind, etc. AS soon
as the station is installed. however an
experienced observer, an assistant and
corps of clerks will be located on the
top of some high building and daily
observations will be taken. Maps will
be printed and sent out giving COM
plete weather data, and Scranton will
be noted upon all official weather re-
ports sent out from Washington.
1t required a great deal OF diplomacy
to put the matter through, for If some
of the other congressman realized that
Scranton was to get a weather station
they would have Immediately sent in
urgent requests that their districts also
be allowed stations. Congressman Con-
nell is a member of the sub-commit-
tee on agriculture, which reported
favorably on the appropriation bill pro-
viding funds for the establishment of
the stations and he rendered most valu-
able service in securing this favorable
report.
Agents of the weather bureau are
expected here in a few weeks to make
arrangements for the location of the
station, and it is expected that there
will be a deal of rivalry as to which
building it will be established upon.

HANGING FROM A TREE.
Body of John Riley Found on Glover
Hill.

John Riley, aged SO years, was found
hanging to a tree on Glover Hill, in
the Third ward, late yesterday after
noon. He was dead. and appearances
indicated that the man had committed
suicide several days ago. The discovery
of the lifeless body was made by James
Gilhooley and Walter Smith, of Wales
street who were out in the woods
searching for a stray horse. The boys
reported the find to Patrolman Saltry,
who reported it to the North Scranton
police station and also to Coroner
Roberts, Riley was a hostler by oc-
cupation and for some time past had
been employed at Bernard McGreevys
hotel at Chinchilla. So far as known
the dead man had no family.
The supposition is that while i'm a
fit of dependency, due to excessive
drinking, Riley wandered off into the
woods and took his life. Coroner Rob-
erts last night gave permission by tele-
phone to the North Scranton police to
cut the body down, which was done at
II o'clock,

Mrs. John Weathers, residing on
Lloyd street, just above summit ave-
nue., made a desperate but fortunately
unsuccessful attempt yesterday morn
ing to kill her two young children and
ia end her own life.
Both herself and the eldest child are
now lying in the Lackawanna hospital
seriously injured as the result of this
attempt
Mrs. Weathers and her two children
live in a small two-room house or
shanty on Lloyd street and were ap-
parently in the most abject poverty.
The oldest child is a girl named
Mary just > years old, while the
youngest is an infant in arms only
about 10 months old.
The husband was employed up to
last week as a laborer at one of the
North Scranton mines and was a man
of dissipated habits.
According to the testimony of the
neighbors, he abused Mrs. Weathers
shamefully and was last week arrest
ed for assaulting her.
He was held in bail, in default of
which he was committed to the county
jail, where he is now awaiting the ac-
ton of the grand jury.
Since his arrest Mrs. Weather has
been very respondent.
DAUGHTERS STORY.
According to the story told by Mary,
who, despite her age. is a very bright
and intelligent child, Mrs. Weathers
sent out for some beer yesterday morn
ing and drank considerable of it.
She says that about IL o'clock her
mother locked the door of the back
room and, picking up table knife
from the table deliberately hacked at
her (Mary's) throat.
The mother, the little girl says, then
cut herself in the throat twice with
the knife and, picking up a hatchet,
struck at her head with it. She then
ran towards the bed on which the in
fant lay, with the hatchet in her hand,
evidently with the intention of brain
ing it. The child says, however, that
as she reached the bed she fell over
on it helpless, probably from loss of
blood.
Mary, though bleeding badly from
the wound in her throat, rushed next
| door and told Mrs. A. Buchta, who
lives there, what her mother had done.
Mrs. Buchta accordingly sent her son
| at top speed after DR.. ]. b. Corser
| and hurried into the house herself
She found Mrs. Weathers lying on the
| bed next the infant, which was liter
| ally covered with blood from her
wounds, but was uninjured.
WOUNDS DRESSED.
Dr. Corser arrived a few minutes
| later and dressed the wounds of both
| There were two slashes upon the wo-
mans throat, both about three inches
| long and very deep, but neither very
| dangerous. Her scalp was also badly
| lacerated where she had struck it with
| the hatchet
The little girls cut was more seri-
| row escape from death.
The cut on her throat is three in
| ches long and just misses by almost a
| hairs breadth, the iugular vein the
| severance of which means an imme-
| diate loss of enough blood to cause
| death almost at once.
Later in the day both mother and
| child We're removed in the ambulance
| to the Lackawanna hospital, where
| they are now resting.
The hospital surgeons say that both
will recover. Mrs Weathers is lying
in sort of stupor and has said moth
ing about the affair whatever.
1t is thought that she must have
been in an intoxicated condition wher
she committed the awful deed.
