of the train, the latter crashed into it's
middle. The occupants were thrown
in all directions, bruised and bleeding.

HOT WEATHER IN THE EAST
All Records Broken in Chfcago-Many
Deaths and Prostrations.

All Records Broken in Chicago-Many
Deaths and Prostrations.
Chicago, August 13.-Hot weather
records for this city were broken again
today. For 25 years, or since the
weather bureau was established, there
has been but one term OF hot weather
in which the mercury reached 80 for
five consecutive days. The average
maximum temperature for these five
days was 90. There have been now
six days on which the temperature has
gone above 90, and the average max
imum for the six days has been 93.5.
Today was the hottest of the present
season, the mercury reaching 95 in the
Auditorium tower at 8 O'Clock. On
the street it was two degrees warmer
than in the tower.
The prolonged heat is having seri-
ous effect on business. All those who
can leave the city for points along the
lake shore and the woods are going,
and many have materially curtailed
their hours of labor. Gangs of labor
ers all over the city laid offduring the
afternoon. There were fouSdeaths due
to the heat, and 29 prostrations, three
OF which are expected to prove fatal.
The four deaths today make total of
IL due directly to the heat. 1t is esti-
mated that over 100 deaths of people
already i'll have been hastened by the
weather of this week.
For the week the mortality list has
been mounting with great rapidity, the
increase being attributed entirely to
the heat. There were 465 deaths last
week., and with the present ratio Of
increase there will be 600 this week.
The ratio of deaths, according to the
coroner, will increase steadily as long
as the hot weather continues.

GOOD SALMON CATCH
Yielded More Money This
Year Than Last.
FISH WERE OF FINEST QUALITY
Detailed Estimate of the Individual
Catches and Companion With
Those OF Last Year.

Astoria. August 13.-The fishing sea-
son Just closed on the Columbia river
has been q remarkable one in several
particulars. While the run of salmon
has been light and the pack is small
compared with that of former years, the
price of raw fish has been such that
more money has been paid to the fish
ermen, trapmen and seiners for their
labor than for several seasons. The
quality of the fish caught has been ex-
ceptionally good, commanding the
highest market figures. and. notwith-
standing the advance in raw fish, the
packers have sold their product at
prices which netted them much bet
ter profit than they received year ago.
Thus, while the pack shows a slight
falling of from that Of 1899, the season
of 1900 can be regarded as a more sue

concerned.
Official figures show the spring pack
on the Columbia river for the season
Of 1899 to have been 278.000 cases.
While it is impossible at this time to
get exact figures, carefully prepared
estimate places this seasons pack at
262, ,00 cases. This estimate ia on a
basis - four dozen one-pound cans to
the case. About 40 per cent of the to-
tai pack was put up by the Columbia
River Packerf' Association, commonly
known as the combine, which consists
Of a combination of 10 canneries. Be-
sides the above, there were 1,600 tons,
or what would equal $4,000 cases, of

men. The estimated pack of the indi-
vidual canneries, compared with the
estimate at the close of last season, is

DID DOUBLE CRIME.

Murdered His Friend and Robbed the
Express.
Columbus, O., August 14.-Charles
R. Fl. FerreIl, a former employe of the
Adams Express Company, was arrested
this afternoon in this city, and con.
fessed to the killing OF Messenger Lane
and the robbery of the way safe of the
Adams Elk press Company, ON the Penn.
sylvania east-bound train Friday night
One thousand dollars of the money he
stole was recovered.
Ferrell was to have been married
Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow,
daughter of an engineer on the Pennsyl.
vania line. He had been discharged
from the employ OF the Adams Express
Company, and confessed that the
motive of the robbery was to secure
money for the approaching wedding.
The money recovered he had given to
Miss Costlow to keep for him., saying
he had saved it from his earnings.
Ferrell is but % years of age. He was
at the home of his affianced and in her
company when placed under arrest.
When the officers took him into
custody he assumed nonchalant de-
meanor, but when he found that he
could no longer carry out the decep-
tion, he made full confession. After
his statement had been taken by Chief
of Police Tyler and he was led to cell
in the police station, he was in state
of nervous collapse, and orders were
given that he be watched closely to pre-.
vent his doing himself bodily injury.
The confession of Ferrell disclosed a
premeditated and blood curdling CRIME,
almost impossible to believe. He said
he had become desperate because of his
inability to secure employm ent and a
realization of the fact that he must
have money to defray the expenses of
his approaching marriage. The rob-
berry, including the murder of Express
Messenger Lane, had been planned
carefully. Ferrell had no accomplices
and no confdants He knew Lane we'll.
In fact, they were friends, and he re-
lied upon Lanes confidence to help
him execute the crime. He knew
that considerable money was always
carried by the messenger between ST.
Louis and Columbus, and that he was
certain to secure large sum if he rob-
bed the way safe.
