CONTEST OF PROPHETS.
Competition Among Weather Seers
from Various States.

ST. Louis Dec 27 (speciaD.-It has been sug-
gested TO the officials Of the coming St Louis Fair
that contest among weather forecasters and
prophets would prove welcome addition to the
other special features already arranged for In the
first place there has never been gathering OF
weather prophets, so far as is known in the MS
tory of the craft. and a convention which would
include delegates from Europe and other foreign
countries as well as those from every State in the
Union would not only be instructive but might re-
suit in combination OF forces which would make
weather predictions even more accurate than they
already are Not only would it allow a comparison
OF the scientific method of determining the next
days weather and the natural method, but 1t would
settle the much debated question. Who is the
champion weather prophet of American"
The prophets who adhere to the natural method
while not successful the government fore
casters in foretelling weather for day or two in
advance have many occasions outshone their
rivals Of the Weather Bureau by predicting Ions
spells OF cold heat big billiards. which arrived
on schedule time Darius allen. of Rhode Island.
is a weather prophet of the natural school, not
without fame in ew-Engand. who has thus
proven his right to the title of seer.
Darius seeks the voice of the Sibyl in various
aspects OF nature and animals. Putting his ear to
within the voice Of Lever failing oracle ne
have often warned followers of the Rhode Island
prophet TO prepare for various ebultions Of the
the glory of the prophet and the dismay of scot
fers. Again, in such subtle undercurTents as the
aspect Of chicken feed and the ruiing of the
feathers of the fowls themselves has Darius been
enabled to say beyond doubt that a blizzard was
coming o. about such and such date
Then there is Prof" DeYOe. of Hackensack,
n. J.. also of the natural school, and Prof EDDY
of BayOnne N J., of the scientific school, the lat
ter obtaining his information in heart TO heart
talks with the very elements themselves through
the medium Of kites
OF course, each State has its several weather
prophets Of more or less note, and preliminary
contest, the champion Of which would be selected
TO enter the ST. Louis competition, could be held.
The suggestion has met with favorable COM
ment, and the government forecasters are conf
dent of their ability to prove that the country
prophets and those who pursue methods differing
from the government system are mers pretenderS.

themselves when the car was hurled over the
baggage car and the tender on the engine
Meyerowitz killed outright. but Rosenberg
was pinned beneath seat He retained
seriousness long enough to tell his name and adj
dress and those of his companion to the train
men. Then he was slowly scalded to death by
escaping steam.
The bodies were brought home Friday night.
Neither family had the money to pay for
decent funeral. the Slavodka Young Mems

friends, while the streets in front of the houses
were filled with people.
The service at Rosenberg's house finished
first, and the funeral procession started for the
Twenty-third-st. ferry, nearly 200 members of
the congregation following foot. Just they
reached the ferry house the hearse containing
Meyerowitz's body came up. The bodies of the
partners were driven to the Mount Zion Gene

THAT Tough Swilly be selected as the

line Of fast steamships for the follow
ing reasons: ID AS a harbor Of safety
it is unrivaled in Ireland. The battle
ships of the British navy use it, and it
can easily find safe anchorage for the
largest steamers afloat, in all weathers
and at all states of the tide; % the
late Captain Lindall of the r. NJ. ).
Vancouver, an expert in nautical mat
tiers, assured him (the proposer) that
it would mean a saving of twenty-four
hours as compared with the present
port (Moville); that this statement has
been corroborated by other skilled and
unprecedented authorities; CD that it
was at least as well, if not better
adapted for the purpose than any of
the places mentioned Mr.. Montgom-
cry was anxious the press should thor

ton to the Most Rev. DR.. O'Donnell,

covered second line Of footsteps lead
ing from the chimney to the cave,
which ended at a point in the cave ex-

the ground, thus receiving the wounds
which caused his death
DR.. NJ. Callahan deposed that he made
an examination of the body, and found
all the organs healthy. The skull was
fractured, and death was due to effu-
sion Of blood on the brain caused by the
fracture.
The jury returned a verdict accord
lngly, adding that they had no evidence
to prove or reason to suspect that de-
ceased had met with foul play.
