of fruit, corn, oats and hay in Kansas. Re

and a hot dry wind prevailed.
In several Southern States there was al
unusually high temperature on Thursday
Several deaths, even among the negroes, and
numerous prostrations were reported.
In many places, few weeks ago, fine crops
we're anticipated, but now only shriveled re
mains are left.

A Year Without a Summer
From Hagerstown (Md.) Mail.

The warm days remind us that things are
not as they were in 1916. That was the yeaI
famous as the summeress one, though moi
many are alive to recall it. January was mild
and fires went out generally aHd stoop sitting
began People anticipated hot time here.
February broke the spell by being cold and
March roared through chilly spell with heavy
rains April brought couple of bright days,
but May came with bighting frosts that laid
all vegetation low. Ice formed and ran over
intn June and light SHOWS followed. On July
4. there was ice on standing water here and
frosts. and in Central New York snow three
inches deep fell. Wheat rolled green and all
craving things froze up, and what corn was
up had TO be replanted again and again, and
seed went to S. per bushel. August and
September had bright days, and the people
thought summer had surely come, but frosts
ugly black frosts-soon killed their hopes.
October was no better, and winter set in hard
in November, with fires started and plenty of
ice. Sleighing about here was excellent, but
strangest to relate, December was clear and
warm, and next season placed summer in its
old place. 1t was the queerest year ever seen
here

REPUBLICAN HARMONY.
Convention Of First Legislative Dis
trict, Baltimore.

From the Baltimore Sun, July IL.
Manhattan Hall was the scene last night Of
about the fereest political battle that has for
many years taken place among the Republi-
cans of the First Legislative district. At the
convention United States Marshal Airy COM
pletely turned the tables on his opponents and
won signal victory. Up TO the moment OF
the meeting it had been supposed the Marshal
was beaten, but the first vote told the tale and
revealed the fatal split in the Stone forces.
A desperate but unavailing fight was waged
and the excitement was at white heat. The
hall reso1nded with yells, Kisses, cheers and
profanity. A fist fight broke out here and
there and the police took hand in the game
and elected the offenders.
The loss of four delegates in the Fourth
ward TO the Stone people turned the tide to-
ward Mr.. Airey, who made good use of his
opportunity. Fearing least he would be I'M
able to hold the delegates if the Legislative
slate was jammed through and the nomina-
lions made. The Stone delegations used every
effort to preve mt the motion being put and
falling in this, bolted the convention.
The naming of the Legislative candidates
at this time is contrary to the plan and desire
of the other State and city leaders, and it was
stated last night by friends of Mr.. Stone in
the convention that the STATE Convention
would be appealed to to order new conven-
ton for the district and rcscind the Airey
nominees
