CHARLESTON NAVY YARDS
NEW COMMANDMENT
Capt. Robert NJ. Berry Will Prob.
ably Succeed Capt. LOngnecEer.
BY r. M. Larner.

BY r. M. Larner.
Washington, D. c., July 3o.-Capt.
Robert M. Berry will probably succeed
Capt. Edwin Longnecker as command
ant of the Charleston navy yard. Capt.
Berry is now on waiting orders, hav-
ing recently returned from a three
years cruise. His last sea duty was
with Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans
as fleet captain with the Asiatic squad
ron, on board the battleship Kentucky.
Capt. Berry is a native of Kentucky,
and was appointed a cadet at Annapo-
lis in 1862. His classmates say he was
one of the brightest men of his class
and he is universally popular through
out the service. He figured conspicu-
ously in the Spanish War, having prior
to that achieved naval prominence as
commander of the steamer Rogers,
sent to the Arctic region with the De-
Long relief expedition.
Capt. Berry called at the Navy De-
partment sometime ago to report his
return home While there the subject
of command of the Charleston yard
was mentioned to him. He stated that
the duty would be exceedingly agree
able to him, and it was understood
that he left the department with the
understanding that he will probably be
ordered to Charleston sometime in Oc-
tober.
Mrs. Berry shares the popularity of
her husband in naval and social circles.
She has charming personality and is
said to be one of the handsomest ladies
in the naval set. Capt Berry and his
wife Will be an acquisition TO the naval
colony at Charleston.

AS a variation to the Casino play
bill, this week there will be Mrs. Fay,
in a number of occult performances.
Mrs. Fay will do the cabinet act, and
while enclosed in the cabinet will play
musical instruments. The cabinet will
be thoroughly examined by a commit
tee from the audience.
The Kingston girls have a clever
dancing turn. Phil Stats, the piano
comedian, is down for one of his
mirth-provoking performances.
There is hypnotist act, in which a
girl is brought under the subtle in
fluence. and raised mysteriously from
the couch. and while suspended in
midair a hoop is placed around her.
She is then lowered to the couch.
Mrs. Fay has the last act which
consists of reading with face blind
folded questions written on a piece
of paper by different persons in the
audience. Besides reading the ques-
tions and giving the answers the wom-
an will also give the names of the
writers.

The detective part of the story, how
ever, has good foundation, for there is
now confined in the Midtown camp
former Detective M. A. Mehaffey Of
Atlanta, who is serving sentence for
perjury in a Hall county case, and it
is possible that if such confession has
been made he wormed it out of the ex-
guard.
Secretary Goodloe Yancey of the
Prison Commission made several visits
to Fargo to investigate the disappear
ance of young Moore, but never found
any clue. 1t is entirely possible that
he was murdered and cremated in one
of the large sawmill furnaces there as
reported in the alleged confession. The
former guard who is said to have made
the confession killed another guard
just before last Christmas, and is now
serving a sentence of seven years for
manslaughter in the Midtown camp.
The matter will be investigated.

WEATHER FOR AUGUST
SHOULD BE PLEASANT
II Month Stands Close to Records
Made During 33 Years.


Should the month of August be
close TO the average month, as estab-
hshed for thirty-three years, the
weather should be pleasant. The aver
age monthly temperature is only 81
degrees. The hottest August was that
of 1873 with an average of 81, and the
coolest was that of 1889, with an aver
age of IS. In either case the variance
has been but slightly above or below
the average.
The hottest August DAY on record is
Aug. 20, 1900. On that day mercury
reached 102 degrees. The coolest Au-
gust day was Aug. 30, 1896, when mer-
curry could crawl no higher than 81 de-
grees.
The average rainfall for the month is
z 81 inches, with an average of four
teen days on which at least .01 OF
an inch of rain fell. The heaviest
monthly rainfall was 2.79 inches, in
1898, and the highest was 1.S9 inches.
I'm 1887. The heaviest rainfall in any
twenty-four consecutive hours was
s.57 inches, on Aug. 8, 1872.
The average month has eight clear
days, eight cloudy days. and fifteen
partly cloudy days. The prevailing
WluuS nave DeeIl ITOiu the southwest,
with an average hourly velocity of sc
miles. The heaviest wind recorded dur
ing the month of August was a north
west wind that blew on Aug. 81. 1898
with velocity of rs miles an hour.
July, the month just closing, may
yet excel the July record. on Fri
day night there was a downpour OF
.SS Of an inch. This brings the total fol
the month TO within .02 of an inch OF
the record. This small deficiency might
easily be made up by a shower passins
over the city to-day.

SHOWER OF STONES ON
ROOF OF COURT HOUSE.

Just as the Superior Court was adj
journing yesterday morning for the
day, there came the sound of terrific
explosion, followed by the patter of a
shower of stones on the Court House
roof and on the roofs of the buildings
standing nearby. The stones were
hurled into the air by the blasting at
the site of the new Marine Hospital.
The falling sand stones. and pieces of
rocks in the streets caused a general
scramble for safety. The heavy charges
used in blasting throw the material a
great distance and unless the men
working on the building use lighter
blasts there is danger of a serious ac-
cident to pedestrians on State street
and on Drayton and Abercorn.

Atlanta, July 3O.-The Prison Com

guard who is now a convict in the
penitentiary camp at Midtown, to the
effect that he killed Connie J. Moore,
one of the convict guards who disap-

at Fargo, near the Florida line.
