Cool Weather and Frosts

Rev. Ira r. Hicks has issued the
following weather predictions for the
month of September: The last storm
GIN ant, to,.o"-.'~ -A.~---.-s- --,-~--- -.
reader need be surprised to see or hear
crisis in the elements-rai wind
and thunder. The Disturbances at this
time will, i'll all probability, be pro-
longed in cloudy and threatening and
possibly stormy weather up to and
through the 3rd, 4th and 5th.
The regular Vulcan storm period is
central on the 9fh and will be felt as
early as the 7th and Sth There is al
ways much tendency TO prolonged dis
turbances during the immediate pres
ence of earth's autumDal equinoctial
especially when full or new moon fall
near the ending of the storm periods.
These phases of the moon in Septem
ber, the equinootial month, always
find the moon on or near the celestial
equator. Hence we find full moon on
the 18th and moon on the equator on
the 18th. The 18th to the 10Th are al
so reactionary storm days. We may
therefore look for decided storm con-
ditiOns to continue over these dates.
Frosts in many localities, especially
northward, between the 9Th and 10Th
may reasonably be expected. The next
regular storm period is central on the
2lst, this being also the central day
of earth's autumnal equinox. We pre-
diet that within the period embraced
between Wednesday eth and Saturday
Goth many widespread and violent
storms will visit variOus parts of sea
and land. We predict cool weather al
the close of the month. Indications
are favorable for low temperatures
and frosts over all central and north
ern sections along with the changes
that will follow this last September
/ storm period.

Lightning Played for ? Hours

People of this section last evening
were treated to rare spectacle in the
heavens, in the form of an electrical
display, which eclipsed any effort of
man made in that direction.
The atmosphere was heavily charged
with electricity and for quite two
hours the lightning played around
among the clouds. frequently appear.
ing in the form of zigzag lightning,
but more frequently sheet lightning
which flooded the whole heavens. The
most remarkable feature of it was that
the sky was nearly cloar, the stars
shining brightly overhead.
In the East and Sou theast there were
huge banks of alpine clouds aud it was
there that the most beautiful sight
was seen Behind the large snowy
masses the lightning played with
startling brilliancy revealing theiI
rugged outlines and every few minute,
sending a bolt upwards toward the
zenith OF the sky.
J The lightning began to play shortly
after eight O'Clock and the display
continued until after 10, when it be
gan to thunder heavily and the in
dications were that there would be {
shower. The phenomenon was wit
messed by hundreds of persons ahou
town, who stood in groups at point
where the view was unobstruoted b.
buildings apparently lost in admira
tion before the unusual spectacle.

with a wire charged with twenty one

1t was only by an almost superhu-

his hold and was almost unconscious
when he did gain his release. Weak

He was only saved from crashing to

fell, suspending him head downwards

PREACHING
RESUMES

There was a general revival of in.
terest among the churches Sunday.
The delightful day with its clear sky
and cool atmosphere was in itself suffi-
cient to tempt people out to worship.
Then there were no less than three of
onr most popular pastors who had just
returned from their vacation trips
and the attendance that greeted them
as was natural was quite large.
Rev. DR.. Mccormack and the Rev.
J. +. Hutchinson. pastors respectively
of the Grove Presbyterian and the
| MahOning Presby churches. both
occupied their pulpits after an absence
of some six weeks, delivering able aud
sympathetic discourses, revealing that
neither had lost through his absence
any zeal in his work nor love for his
people. Rather, invigOrated by rest
and recreation they are prepared for a
season of renewed effort, under condi-
tions that will be sure to yield excel
lent fruit.
Rev S. B. Evans. pastor of ST Paul's
M. K. church, wss the other pastor
who occupied his pulpit after an alb
sence. He was greeted with the usual
large and devoted congregation.
The song service last night was
fine success. The large auditorium was
crowded to its utmost capacity Not
only was every pew filed, but large |
number OF seats were brought into the |
room from down stairs, filling every |
foot OF available space. The extra seats
were all filled and there were still
some who were Obliged TO stand.
Tie music under the direction of
Mr.. Vannan proved great treat. The
program as printed in these columns
Saturday morning was fully carried
1ut, many OF the best singers of Dan
Vile participating. The service as
conducted by the pastor was on the
whole very beautiful and impressive.

the thigh and had to be assisted to his

minds of those about the blacksmith

but MI Miller refused To believe that
the injury was anything more serious
than a hruise aud treated himself for

that there was fracture of the bone.

FALL RESULTS IN

Thomas Sulllvan,a mouldcr meploy

canal bridge at Beaver street, Satur.

Sullivan and some companions about
. O'Clock were seated on the railing of
the canal bridge when Sullivan owing
TO some cause lost his balance and fell
! head first into the canal which at that
point contains small quantity of
water. The fall is one of at least fif-
teen feet Sullivan is a heavy man
and he struck the bottom with great
force. He was unable to arise and it
was apparent at once that he was bad

Chief of Police Mincemoyer, who
was out on Market street, heard his
cries and ran to the spot The man
was paraly zed in his lower limbs as the
result of the fall and was unable to do
anything to help himself On each
side the canal bank is supported by a
stone wall and the task of getting the
man out Of the canal was most diff
cult one. After good bit of hard
tugglng on the part of the Officer and
those assisting the job was accom-
plished and the man was carried to
the boarding house of William Orumb,
East Market street, where Dr. p. @.
New baker was called.

Saws the Pastor Liked the Girls.

Millvillo is in the throes Of church
scandal which promises TO turn up
some very interesting details before 1t
is finished. 1t is the same old story
of a young and good looking pastor
and charming girl member of his flock.
According to the story related by the
members of the Lutheran church of
Millville, Rev George Easterday, the
pastor hns heen guilty of seeking ap-
p.intments with a young lady mem
ber of his flock and also of making
questionable remarks TO another girl
member of the church choir.
For this reason they have requested
him to resign and Sunday evening
when he appeared at the church to
hold the regular evening service he
found tho edifice locked He was re-
fused admission and 1t is said immedi
ately left town.
He had been castor of the church
for about year coming there from
MARYLAND He entered into the wo k
with great spirit aud built up a good
congregation and the members OF the
church thought everything OF theil
pastor until very recently. Some
whispering was heard regarding nm
seemly actions and on Sunday after
noon the official board of the chnrcl
held "a meeting and going over the
evidence nt hand decided that 1T wa
time to call halt SO the resignation
was demanded.

WORK CONDEMNED

Commissioner Hunter, who visited tho
spot, admitted as much At the same
