THE WEATHER BUREAU FAILS.
Its Prediction of Fair Weather Re
suits in Rain md Winds.

So badly did the officials at the Weather
Bureau fail IN their representations as to
the weather for Inauguration Day that be-
fore the day had passed red lights were
displayed, indicating stormy conditions in
the elements. Heavy clouds hung over the
city throughout the morning, an1 at l
o clock a formidable drizzle set in and
thousands of umbrellas were hoisted in
the vast crowds that thronged the princi-
Pile thoroughfares. while gay uniforms
were soaked and the coats of staff and
cavalry horses soon looked as If they had
been dipped in water.
Prof Moore. Chief of the United States
Weather Bureau, and his staff of fore
casters Inade special endeavors to prog
nosticate exactly what the Inauguration
crowds might expect yesterday. Just how
far Prof. Moores predictions were amiss
is told in the letter he wrote Sunday even
ing to the Chairman of the Inauguration
Committee. In this communication Prof
Moore said that the sky would surely be
clear yesterday, and that the tempera-
ture would be warm and balmy."
On this assurance the President and his
escort started to the Capitol with high
hopes While Mr.. Mckinley was deliver
ing the Inaugural Address, however. a
gentle shower set in and continued until
the parade started. Then 1t began to rain
In earnest.
Prof. Moore did not expect this, and,
although he did not expect it would be
necessary to carry an umbrella he him
self was caught in the shower and shiy-
cred in the chilly weather which he inti-
mated would surely not be here

having done much to ruin decorations

geant and the multitudes of spectators

ments We're reasonably satisfactory At

Vigorously-but rained to a sufficient ex-

ACCIDENT NARROWLY AvERTED
A Mounted POIiceman's Horse Col
Iides With President's CarrInEe.

An accident to the President and Mrs
Mckinley which .-ould have cast a gloom
over the InaugL al BAH was narrowly
averted last night. The carriage contain
ing the two distinguished personagss col
lided with a horse ridden by a mounted
policeman who was one of an escort to
the Presidential carriage en- route to the
Pension Office. The worst damage. how
ever was a severe shaking up for the dis
tinguished occupants. The carriage was
delayed for several minutes and quite a
crowd gathered around, much interr sted
in the predicament. which had befallen
the reinaugurated Chief Magistrate.
1t was about . o'clock last night when
the President and Mrs. Mckinley. with a
party of relatives and friends who are
guests at the Executive Mansion during
the Inauguration ceremonies. left the EX-
ecutive Mansion for the Pension Office.
Five carriages were required for the ac-
commodation of the party. The Presi-
dents carriage left the White House first
and followed by the others. turned into
+ Street and started down that thor
oughfare at lively pace. Four mounted
policemen formed the escort. One rode on
each side of the horses which drew the
carriage and the remaining two were on

hicle.
AS the carriage drew near Eleventh
Street il was approached from behind by
an Street car. east bound. running rap
idly. The carriage and escort were on the
SOUTH the right side of the street, and as
the car drew nearer it came very close to
the mount of the policeman who was rid
ing on the left side of the carriage. The
car made a great noise and the animal at
once began to rear and plunge. The po-
liceman tried In vain to urge his steed
ahead, but to no avail. Thoroughly fright
ened. the animal turned and backed vio-
lently into one of the horses of the PreSi-
dents carriage. pushing it toward the
curb
The asphalt was slippery as ice, the
result of the rain of the afternoon and
evening and the smooth hoofs of the
horse caused it to fall. The policeman eX-
tricated himself in time to avoid injury.
One of the front wheels of the carriage
passed over the PROSTATE animal. The
obstacle thus interpoSed arrested the car
riageS progress. The driver of the car
riage refined the horses suddenly and the
mount of the policeman which had fallen
was wedged in between the front and rear
wheels of the carriage and was unable to
regain it's feet. The President stepped
from the carriage door an instant later TO
learn the cause of the trouble and upon
informed Mrs. Mckinley that ii was moth
ing serious.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
in getting the PROSTATE animal to its
feet. This was. however finally accom-
Dlished. and the party proceeded at once
greatest solicitude for Mrs. Mckinley
during the trouble. She was naturally
very much frightened. but bore up with
remarkable courage and fOrtitude.
