summoned to renew LIES duties again
today The mercury in the thermometer
at 8 O'Clock yesterday evening regis
tered 1902 on the shady side Of the
street. At that time thunder cloud
was coursing down the Maryland
shore. One could hear the thunder and
sigh for it's cooling influence, but 1t was
O mirage to Alexandriane and soon
passed from view. There was also a
heavy rain at st. Assph about four
O'Clock, lasting ten minutes. The con-
diiioDs this morning were unchanged,
and as the day grew older the tempers-
ture climbed into the nineties, and
there was a repetition OF yesterdays
discom6tures. AS noon approached the
heat became unbearable, and perspira-
tion stresmed from bedraggled hu-
mainly. The suns rays were again
dangerous and people compelled to ex'
pose themselves were often forced to
flee to shelter. The mercury was
again at the century mark. About II
o'clock heavy cloud settled over the
Maryland hills southeast OF this city,
the thunder from which could be oc.
casionally heard here, and the condi.
ton of the heavens toward every point
OF the compass portended rain 10 this
city and vicinity. Shortly before two
O'Clock dark clouds gathered in the
south and west and the sharp lightning
and heavy thunder announced its steady
approach. The floodgates of heaven
finally opened and for o time there
ragged one of the fiercest tempests ever
witnessed heresbouts. The Lightning
flashes were binding and the thunder
terrific. After the rain had fallen for
)me time hailstones began to dance on
pavements aud lombard window panes.
They were ss large as marbles and
their number was soon augmented by q
heavy shower of icy pellets. They
danced 10 innumerable numbers on the
streets and payements and were curl
osity to many of the younger genera
ton who had never witnessed fierce
haiIstorm. The temperature had, OF
course, been falling 10 the meantime
and the air had again become pleasant.
Lightning burned out some telephone
wires and the high wind twisted limbs
from some trees and Frustrated some
TELEPHONE poles. During the storm
lightning struck the hsgpole on the
Concordia Hotel and tore it from its
fastenings. At $3.50 o'clock the Their
mometer had fallen 160.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN When the
Board OF Aldermen took recess yes
terday at $40 o'clock until there wal
seen. One hundred and twenty.sever
ballots had been taken resulting each
time in tie. The candidates compris'
ed every member of the board, COM
mencing with Messrs. Ballenger and ].
Il. Sweeney.
Upon reassembling the same monot-
onous balloting ensued. After three
had been taken, Messrs. Msrbury and
Sweeney receiving each, Mr.. Sweeney
withdrew his name and nominated Mr..
w. II. Sweeney, saying that it was
time the board was getting down to
business.
Two ballots resulted. each being q
lie, when Mr.. Sweeney In turn with
drew and placed Mr.. Curtin In nomi-
nation. This brought no change 10 the
situation. Four ballots followed with
the same unvaryiug result.
Mr.. Curtin then withdrew and nomi-
mated Mr.. Burke. One ballot was taken,
resulting Marbury 4, Burke 4.
Mr.. Burke arose and withdrew his
pane. He renomiDated Mr.. J. L,
Sweeney, and spoke in complimentary
terms OF him as the senior member of
both boards and Tor several years Presi-
dent OF the Common Cou ncil. He meant
NJ dispsrsgement to other gentlemen
who had been nominated, but urged his
past experience as Councilman and
thought he was emineDtly fitted for the
position. He hoped this would end
the deadlock. Mr. Sweeney had been
endorsed by the Citizens Progressive
Association, and there should be no ap-
prebension as to his course when prop
erly managed improvements were con-
templated.
Twenty ballots followed, Messrs.
Marbury and Sweeney receiving each
time.
Mr.. Sweeney suggested a recess, as
there was no likelihood OF electiDg a
president. Ii was at fret moved that
tho members meet again at 8 O'Clock,
but at the request of Mr.. Burke 1t was
unanimously agreed TO extend the re
cess until Sp. M, Tuesday, July 8.
One hundred and fifly.fve ballots were
cast.

Took THE WRONG BOAT.-Several
men stationed at the powder magazine
Oh the opposite side of the river came
here yesterday evening in boat for
the purpose of obtaining ice. They
secured the boat and started in search
OF dealer. While 80 engaged two
young men and two young women,
supposing the boat to be one they had
hired, took possession and started for q
rowing trip. The owners soon ap-
peared with the ice and became much
alarmed, supposing their boat bad been
stolen during their absence. They in-
voked the aid OF the police and the
latter soon found the quartette having
possession Of it. Explanations fol-
lowed and the men returned to the
magazine with the ice.

cesstul enterprises in the city is the

SUN.BAKED APPLEs.--The excessive
heat OF yesterday made Itself :,ldene
on the farm of Mr.. Fred HohensteiD,
who was gathering June apples for
market. Unwittingly he allowed 9
number of bushels TO remain under the
SUMS rays and, to his dismsy. found
them sun.bsked, and as thoroughly
cooked as if they had been placed In an
oven. A liberal specimen of them was
exhibited in market this morning and,
as novelty, Mr.. F. Schwab took q
number OF them and brewed ice-cold
apple toddies tor his early morning
customers and remarked: IA few years
ago l made mint iulips, using as Ice the
hailstones gathered from prevailing
storm"

LIMIT THE ExPLosIoNs.-The sug.
gestion in yesterdays Gazette in regard
TO Fourth of July scenes met with the
decided approval of a large number of
our citizens, all OF whom earnestly hope
the authorities will place some limit on
explosives this year. 1t is all wrong to
keep up the fusilade until midnight,
after most people have retired ana
want sleep. Besides the csnnoncrsckers,
dynamite caps, &C., now used on such
occasions should be exploded outside
the city's limits, as the law directs.
Most of these contrivances are danger
GUS. and often cause horses to stampede.

SENATE.--Quite a lively debate en' sued over a motion to defer the state capitol bill, passed by the house. The motion was defeated-ayes Il, noes IS. A resolution offered by Sen ,ator hlrby, urging Arkansas Sena- tors and Representatives to take such actions necessary to secure speedy trials for Americans in Mexican pris- ons, was unanimously adopted. Sen ator Caldwell's bill, permitting cities and towns to charge ten cents for weighing each bale of cotton, failed to pass. Senator Wood called up the new state capitol bill and offered an amendment naming the present board instead of the board provided to be appointed by the governor. Senator Hardy spoke in opposition to Senator Woods amendment and hoped the bill would pass in its present form. He said Gov Davis had never opposed building new state capitol, but he had opposed the contracts entered in to by the present board The people had sustained him. and if the com mittee bill were passed Gov. Davis would take pride in carrying out the provisions of the bill and build the new state capitol. Senator Woods amendment was defeated-ayes 3, noes 27.
 teusE.-As the session draws near close, the bill killers get in their work No less than dozen measures that had run the gauntlet of commit tees and first and second readings. were disposed of by motions to in, definitely postpone. Comstock's house bill. increasing the number of trus- tees of the state university to nine members, was read third time and passed. II. E. 104 prohibiting the taxing of orders for liquor in prohi- bition districts. was read third time and failed to pass. The house then went into committee of the whole to consider the deaf mute appropriation bill
