WASHINGTON. July IA heavy thun-
der and rain storm passed over the city
at 4;3O this afternoon bringing welcome re-
lief from the oppressive heat of the last
week. Within a few moments the tenn
perature dropped twenty-one degrees and
tonight the conditions are exceedingly COM
Portable.
The highest temperature was %. three
degrees less than yesterdays record for the
year. Showery weather is predicted by the
weather bureau tonight for the-Upper Ohie,
valley, the Middle Atlantic states and New
England and local showers are probable In
the South Atlantic states It is predicted.
The hot wave in New England and the Mid
die Atlantic states It is announced, will be
temporarily broken Thursday and then
moderate temperatures are scheduled by
the weather prophets for several days.
Thunder storms were general today in New
England, portions of the Middle Atlantic
states and through the Upper Ohio valley.
High temperatures continue in the south
portion of the Middle Atlantic states and
in the states in the Mississippi valley and
locally in Eastern New York and Western
Pennsylvania. Today's showers, It is ex-
planned by the weather forecaster, were
caused by the rapid development Of an area
Of low pressure that stretched over the
mouth Of the st. Lawrence and across New
England. There was one death and four
teen prostrations as the result Of the heat

NEW YORK, July 1s.-whlle the record
Of deaths and prostrations greatly exceeded
that of yesterday, there was a distinct
diminution today in the temperature pre-
vailing throughout the eastern section OF
the country. Although the midday tenn
perature was terrific, II was broken by
scattered thunderstorms, many OF a very
violent character, and toward evening the
temperature fell rapidly. until normal sum-
ner conditions were rcacn ID. with tiils
welcome relief came the aRnouncement
from the weather bureau tonight that the
abatement of the heated term had been
general and that moderate temperatures
would probably prevail for several days in
the middle Atlantic and the New England
states. In New York the highest tempera-
ture recorded was 95, one degree lower than
that of yesterday when the highest record
of the season was reached.
Philadelphia reported a slightly higher
maximum range and in other cities the
highest point of yesterday was not touched,
while everywhere sharp fall was noticed
beginning early in the afternoon.
Following are the maximum tempera-
lures, the maximum humidity and the
deaths and prostrations from the effects of
the heat:

Cumulative Enect Evident.

The cumulative effect OF the continued
torridity OF these days was painfully evil
dent in the enormous Increase in the num-
ber OF deaths in New York. While the
death ron of yesterday was only twenty
six. that of today reached the appalling
total of seventy-five, being nearly half OF
those prostrated. This was almost en-
tirely due to the collapse of young chill
dren and aged persons, whose exhausted
vitality was unequal 70 the strain OF fur
ther suffering.
After a night of sweltering heat spent
by thousands in the streets in the pub
lie parks, on piers along the river front,
and in every vacant place that promised a
breath of air, the conditions that con-
fronted the people OF New York this morn
ing were terrifying. The sun rose in Q
cloudless sky and hour after hour the heat
grew more and more intense. Every am
bulance was kept busy and by noon the
hospitals were crowded with sufferers.
Relief Comes at O'Clock.
At O'Clock in the afternoon came the
long prayed for relief when terrific
thunder storm and a deluge Of rain burst
over Brooklyn and the lower part of Man
haitian and sections OF New Jersey In
Brooklyn two men were struck by light
ming and seriously hurt. and in Jersey
City one man was killed. While the storm
lasted only few minutes and left the up
per part OF the city untouched, the relief
was almost instantaneous. and from then
on the mercury fell steadily and a cool
breeze springing up after sundown, gave
assurance Of a comfortable night
Even the seashore resorts in the vicinity
Of New York did not escape the heat, and
many prostrations occurred among the
thousands that fiocked 10 Coney Island
and the other beaches on the Long Island
shore.
Among the distressipg incidents OF the
day was the killing OF her infant In Brook
lyn by a young woman who was suddenly
driven insane by the heat. She stabbed
the child To death and then made vain
attempt on her own life.

THE WORLD NOW WATCHES
All Countries are Interested in the Ac'
ton of Congress.

Washington, Nov. 27-Great inter
est is being shown here in an article
which appeared in recent issue of the
London Ststist. This paper is the most
ably edited financial journal in the
world, and everywhere is regarded as
high authority.
The Statist says that oil the world is
interested in the action to be taken by
the coming Congress on the subject ct
carloads. Legislation which helps
the rosperity of the United S ates,
benefits all the world, says the journal
and the reverse is true. Ita cites the
| Sherman Silver Pure lase bill of 1890 as
! legislation which hurt the Industries
and practically all lines of business in
this country and Europe, while the
adoption of the Single Gold standard
was followed by the greatest era IT
prosperity ever seen.
If Congress gives the I1terS ate
Commerce Commission power to fix
railway rates, not only the railroads
bui all business interests will regret it,
says the Statis', because the develop
ment of the country, the growth of
manufactures aud the prosperity of
the agricuIturalists will be retarded.
England has government control of
rates and the rates have not been
changed in twenty five years, while IN
the United States they are only third
of what they were in 1880.
TIE railway industry does not d fer
in any material degree from other in
dustries, the Statist declares.
Its prosr Gritty is governed by the
prosperity of the country and of the
traders it serves, and railway presi
dents and directors have realized that
thsy are bound to charge rates which
assist trade and commerce to expand.
The railway industry has probably
done as much as, or even more than.
other industries towards building up
the country's welfare; and the enlight-
ened policy which has animated those
who have controlled the railway indus
try has brought advantage and wealth
to the country which cannot we'll be
measured"
The article goes on to say that judgss
ing from the past history of railroads,
it does not seem likely that they will
make rates which will hamper trade and
prevent it's expansion. Every railway
manag2r knows that the prosperity Of
his company depends on its ability to
carry the largest possible quantity Of
traffic at the lowest possible cost
As to the charge that the railway
stocks are watered, the Statist says il
was often necessary for the companies
to give away stocks as bonus to in.
duce people to buy the bonds from
which the money was derived to build
and equip the lines. The value OF
these stocks has been more than made
good by the money since spent on the
properties in reconstruction and inn
proponents.
Rates have steadily dropped for the
last quarter of century. While rates
have been greatly reduced, the roads
have only been able to increase their
earnings by increasing their train load
and economizing in every other way
they know.

From 1.-THE ThomastOn Times we

God bless his disappointed and

in favor of such laws as will tend
toward the encouragement and &C
tual building up Of such party
in Georgia to threaten and to
dare the Democratic party at al
times and on all occasions"
We find that this element every
where is rallying to the support Of
Mr.. Smith: men who have beer
defeated and disappointed intheil
own aspirations and hence have
become embittered againstall exist
ing conditions. AS Mr.. Bernel
proves, it is not the Democratic
party or the people that they care
for: they are willing to wreck
everything in order to have the
satisfaction of bringing others tC
their own level, and in hopes that
they may in some way reap benefit
thereby.
But we do not think the sturdy
old line Democrats of Georgia, who
have stood by the party because
they believe in its principles and
have seen the State prosper under
its honest administrations, and are
not expecting emoluments OF
honors for their sincere devotion
will take kindly to these views OF

panders to and represents such al

SETTER LET GEORGIA ALONE

In an able article, discussing the
gubernatorial controversy conduc-
ted between Candidates Howell
and Smith, the Savannah News
thinks that, aside from their res
pective records, there are two
questions at which they have been
hammering ever since it was I'M
derstood they would be candidates.
One is negro Acknowledgement
and the other is reduction of rail-
road rates. Just now they are fill
ing the columns of their newspaper
organs with matter pertaining to
negro Acknowledgement. From the
manner in which they are discus
sing it, and the volume of opinions
they are introducing from North
Carolina respecting its effect in
that state, it might reasonably be
supposed it was new subject in
| Georgia.
GAS a matter of fact, the people
of Georgia discussed it thoroughly
long ago, and came to the conclu-
sion that the white primary was
the better way to deal with the
negro vote. When they adopted
the white primary method they
had presented to them all the ad-
vantages that are to be obtained
from disfranchisement.
"These advantages, however,
didn't seem to them to be CO Ial to
those of the white primary method
and it is doubtful if any amount
of argument at this time will con
vince them they didn't choose
wisely.
