DURHAM STEPS OUT.
Insurance Commissioner, Mixed up 10
Filtration Scandal, Sends His Resig-
nation to Governor Pennypacker.
DAVID MARTIN NAMED HIS SUCCESSOR.

Harrisburg, July Israel w.
Durham has resigned his posi-
tion as insurance commissioner
of the state. David Martin, of
Philadelphia, has been named his
successor. This was the an
nouncement that stirred politi-
clans at the state capitol to-day.
1t came from the executive de-
partment as "officlal news" The
resignation of Durham was unex-
pected for the reason that he had
said he did not intend resigning
and asserted that at conference
with the governor within the last
two weeks the matter had not
been discussed. While the rea-
son for the resignation does not
accompany the announcement it
is known that Durham s connect
ION with the Philadelphia filtra-
tion steal prompted 1t. 1t was
SAID this afternoon that both the
friends of the governor and of the
insurance com missioner thought
it wise for the Phlladelphian to
get out of the cabinet as his re-
naming would be a mlllstone
about the neck of the organiza-
tion.
Durham S successor has signi-
fed his acceptance of the place
and is expected to take the oath
very soon. He Is well known
Republican politician of Philadel-
phia, a former state senator and
closely identified with the Phila-
delphia organization. 1t is known
that Durham is notln good health
and IS now on his way to Maine
in the hope that he may improve.
For weeks the metropolitan news
papers have been hammering
away at the corruption in Phila-
delphia and it is believed that,
yielding to public sentiment, the
state leaders decided it would be
best for the governor to unload
Durham, who was seldom pres
ent at his office.

HICKS FOR JULY.
Plenty of Hot Weather and Violent Thun.
der Storms.

July will come in with very
high sum mer temperature and
falling barometer. On and touch
ing the 2nd these conditions will
break into storms Of much force.
Very black, threatening clouds
will appear in many places, and
vicious thunder and lightning,
with high winds and local tor
rents of rain and hail will visit
many localities. These storms
will run their course eastward
by the 9Th, being followed closely
in the rear by rising barometer
and change to cooler.
Centerlng on and next to the
8th, look for a marked reaction to
excessive warmth, with threaten
ing barometer and many thun-
der squalls. Very threatnlng
clouds withlow barometer, should
they appear at this time, will sug.
gest the possible approach of tor
nadic storms. Calmness and
caution at this, and all other
times of danger, especially when
storm refuge is at hand, will
rob the worst storms of alarm
and calamity. Change to cooler
will come behind these disturb
ances.
From the 14th to 18th 1t will be
wise to figure on many violent
summer storms, resulting in 10.
cal cloudburst and downpours in
many sec lions. Very low bar
ometer readings Will presage
possible danger. Seismic dis.
turba noes Will be very natural
on and about the 10Th. Tenden-
cy to continued cloudiness and
unsettled, threatening weather
will follow this period, with pos
sible rise of the barometer and
change to cooler from the 10th to
18th.
Look for Increase of tempera-
ture, falling barometer and re-
turn of rain and electrical squalls
on and touching the Goth and 21st.
Many places will have stormi-
ness, thunder and lightning and
possibly dangerous winds, at this
and other July periods, with but
only hight and scattering rains.
On and touching the Oath and
25th the temperature will rise,
the barometer will fall, and a
sensible increase of tendency to
storms and storminess will re-
suit, all followed by rising baron
eter and change to somewhat
cooler from about the Goth to
Goth.
The month will come to a close
with high and rising tempera'
ture, the barometer will be low
and falling to westward, and
cloudiness and storms will be
forming and starting on their
cas- ward career.

HOGEBOOM HAS A PLAN
Would Prevent Contagion by Forcing
Reports of Cases.

City Physician HogebOom viii ask for
the introduction of an ordinance into
the city council looking to preventive
measures for the spread of contagious
diseases. 1t is his idea to make it com
pulsory upon all residents of the city
to report at once to the city board OF
health any evidences of a disease which
may have a basis of cOntagiOn under
penalty of a fine upon q. failure to
obey. Any evidences of an eruptfve dis
ease must be promptly reported.
I know it's true that q great many
people don't know when a disease is
measles, smallpox or ehickenpox but
they can certainly see that it is not all
right and that the child is not healthy
when its body or face breaks out and
it is then that they should report the
case to the board of health.
If we had some such ordinance -
continued the city physician, we could
possibly aid in stopping some of this
transmission of the disease. I believe
that conditions next winter will be bad
and that there win be considerable
smallpox You can't stamp out the
germs entirely and they have appeared
this spring with frequency

Paris, Feb. 25s-The decision in the
North Sea inquiry commission made
public this morning adverse TO the
Russians The decision states that
Rojestvensky Was not justified in fir
ing on the Doggerbank fishing fleet.
The opinion is signed by major
ity of the commissioners, the only dis
senting voice being that of Admiral
Doubassof the Russian member.
The commission convened at $3.50
this afternoon. The findings were
read aloud. They consist of l3 type
written pages.
Although admitting the Russians
had reason TO take the utmost pre-
cautions, the commission holds that
the responsibility for the firing and
its consequences fell OF Rojestvensky.
1t is held the firing lasted longer
than necessary, but that Rojestvensky
did his utmost to protect the boats
known to be fishing craft. Under the
circumstances there was sufficient
uncertainty 10 justify Rojestvensky
continuing on his way. But regret is
expressed he did not inform the naval
powers I'm the channel of the occur
renee. The commissioner reflects on
the military valor of Rojestvensky and
men.
No statement is made regarding in
demnity, which can she settled by ,di-
rect negotiations between England
and Russia.

BROOKLYN Bridge Rebuilt.

Engineers have decided that the
Brooklyn bridge must be rebuilt be-
cause of the great strain to which it
has been subjected. The Brooklyn
correspondent of the Milwaukee Sen
tinel says: ITO do this will require
at least two years. Meanwhile traf-
flee between New York and Brook
lyn will have to be diverted to the
Williamsburg bridge, the new Man
haitian bridge, and the Brooklyn sub
way tunnel, in course of construction.
Four or five years may elapse before
this can be accomplished, as great
traffic problems will have to be
solved beforehand. Though an in
spection of the Brooklyn bridge shows
It to be safe, 1t is admitted by all the
engineers who have been connected
with the work that even steel has an
age limit, and that this limit is being
approached. The structure Is with
standing a weight OF traffic which It
never was intended to bear when the
plans for the construction were made.
1t is estimated that the cost Of the re-
building will be about $1,000, ,00o."

ARRESTED MURPHY AT ECHO.
Charged With Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.

Last night G. d. Murphy was
was brought here from Echo by Dep
uty Spike, who arrested him at that
place on information that he was
wanted in Spokane for obtaining
money under false pretenses. 1t is
alleged that he swindIed Charles p.
Thomas. of Freeman, Wash, of
money to the amount of $l35, and a
search has been carried on to locate
him by the sheriff's office in Spo-
kane.
During the forenoon today the sher-
iff at Spokane 'phoned to Deputy
Blakeley here and stated that if Muir
ply could repay the $135 to release
him, otherwise a reQuisition would be
gotten and an officer sent for him. AS
the prisoner could not raise the neces-
sary amount it is probable that he
win be taken to Spokane for trial

At IL o'clock last night Dick Pierce,
a half breed Indian, was shot through
the body by ]. o. Garrett city mar
shal of Adams, while the former was
trying to escape from a hack in which
he was being brought to this place.
The attempt to escape and the shoot
ing occurred just to the north of the
wagon bridge on the road into town.
When shot Pierce fell, and after be-
ing placed in the hack was brought
to the sheriffs office, where Deputy
Blakely was awaiting them. DIR.
Cole was then summoned and the in
Jured man was taken to the hospital
The bullet, which was from a S.
calibre Smith & Wesson revolver, en-
tered Pierce's back and lodged in the
abdomen.
The trouble which eliminated in
the shooting of the half breed last
night began yesterday afternoon in
Helix. At that tirbe Pierce, with two
other men, all of whom were partly
intoxicated, raised a disturbance and
all but Pierce were arrested The
latter, who had drawn his gun on a
man during the trouble, rode out OF
town and escaped the marshal there.
Thinking that he would ride either
to this place or to Adams, the sher-
ifs office here and Marshal Garrett
at Adams were 'phoned to be on the
lookout for Pierce. In the evening
he was found in an Adams saloon by
the marshal, and when the latter at
tempted to arrest him Pierce drew
his gun, a long frontier Colts six
shooter, from his belt and leveled it
at the marshal However, he was i'm
mediately grabbed by men from be-
hind, was disarmed and placed in the
Jail there.
Owing to the poor Jail facilities at
Adams it was decided to bring the
prisoner here and place him in the
county Jail, and the officers here
were so notified. In the hack with
Pierce were two men beside Marshal
Garrett-one, the driver, sat on the
front seat with the half breed, and the
other in the rear with the marshal.
Pierce was not handcuffed, and just
jumped from the rig and started to
run. He was several times ordered
TO stop by the marshal, and on re-
fusal to do so was fired at with the
effect mentioned.
In Critical Condition.
This morning Pierce's wound was
dressed by Dr. Cole. assisted by DR..
1ingo. An intestine was found TO be
and consequently his con-
lition is considered critical, with
trong chances OF resulting fatally.
Pierce has been a troublesome
haracter for quite a while accord
ng TO the officers, being in the habit
f getting drunk and seeking quarreIs.
he large Colts six-shooter he used
esterday is a vicious looking weapon
nd the people Of Helix and Adams
fere justified in being offended at
he manner in which he brandished
in their faces.
