NEW YORK, July 1S-A fierce rain
storm driven by high wind from the
west with thunder accompaniments to
much damage by lightning. came as the
spectacular climax OF a day of sticky,
sweltering discomfort. The rain, which
threw the city into darkness in mid
afternoon, saved many lives, for already
three deaths had been reported and
many prostratons. With the down
pour of rain there was fall in the
temperature that brought relief to mil

New York suffered as severely from
the heat as at any time this summer,
and before refreshing shower brought
relief three persons had perished from
the combined heat and excessive hui
midity and several scores were pros

aged woman went insane from the
heat.
The thunder and wind storm was a
severe one. Trees were uprOoted in
various sections of the city and several
small boats in the bay were capsized,
but without loss of life. The only ia
tality due to the storm was reported
from Staten Island, where a man was
instantly killed by a lightning bolt.
Three thousand persons who attend

the storm struck the tents. A part of
the main tent sagged, and Pawnee Bill

Said That $4,000 Will be Spent
on the Building Office on
the Corner.

The contemplated improvements at
the Packer House, which were an
nounced in the EVENING NEWS
several weeks ago, have now reached
definite shape.
The plans are being prepared by a
New York architect, and the work is
expected to be started about the first

Many changes will be made in the
hotel, and it is estimated that $685.
900 will be spent on new improve
ments.
The hotel Office will, according to
the new arrangement, be on the cor
ner of High and Smith streets, the
bar room will be where the present
Office is, and the present barroom will
be rented as a store. The hotel par
lors will be on the second floor in the
front of the building, and thirty more
rooms will be added.
On High street a basement will be
built under the hotel from the corner
of Smith street, under the dining
room, where there will be established
a bootblack stand and barber shop.
The architect, who is drawing up
the necessary plans, it is understood,
was to have come here yesterday to
the necessary arrangements
with Proprietor Peter F. Floersch.
Mr.. Floersch says that the increas-
ed business has made the improve
ments necessary, and that he often
has had to turn people away on ac-
count of lack of rooms. The contract
has not yet been awarded.

Special to the EVENING NEWS:


NEW BRUNSWICK, July 1S.-
Fred Lang was convicted yesterday
of murder in the first degree and
must pay the death penalty for the
killing of his niece, Katie Gordon, at
Bonhamtown, April 20. The jury by
their verdict pronounced Langs
doom and made 1t possible for Special
Officer Lengel. who caught Lang, to
get the reward of $500 offered for
the capture of the murderer.
The verdict was returned by the
jury shortly after o'clock. The jury
had retired at ten minutes after three
and at five minutes of six the court
bell rang, announcing that they were
ready to come in with their verdict.
Justice Swayzne was oAi hand TO ~
eeive them, as was the prosecutor,
but counsel for the defense was alb
sent.
The prisoner was brought from
Jail by Officers Elkins and Pearce.
and soon afterward the judge took
his place upon the bench and the jury
filed in and took their seats. Law
yer Alan H. Strong was notified by
telephone of the fact that the jury
had arrived at their verdict, but it
was ten minutes before he reached
the court house.
The Verdict Taken.
AS soon as the lawyer arrived the
verdict was taken, Foreman John ".
Tappen, of Metuchen. announcing
that they had found Lang guilty of
murder in the first degree. The ver-
dict was somewhat of a surprise as
many thought they would fiISl sec
ond degree verdict after hearing the
charge, which some thought was in
favor OF such a verdict.
Lawyer Strong had the jury polled
sarsslAeaslsrqan assssasssiad If he found
the defendant guilty or not guilty
All said guilty" Lang during the
proceeding sat as unconcerned as he
did throughout the trial, and paid
little attention to the verdict. His
counsel informed him what it meant.
Prosecutor Berdine at once moved
for Judgment. Lawyer Strong asked
that this be deferred as he wanted to
ask for a rule to show cause why a
new trial should not be granted. JUS
tice Swayze said he would consider
that such an application had been
made and would hear the argument
here Saturday morning, to which
time sentencing would be deferred
The justice intended sitting at Eliza
beth that day, but will sit here in
stead. Lang was then remanded for
sentence His sister and her husband.
the parents of the girl, were in court
when the verdict was given, but Lang
paid no attention to them as he pass
ed them on the way to the jail.
1t is through the pathetic letter
which Lang wrote his mother from
the jail and In which he admitted his
guilt, had much to do with his con
viction by the jury. The letter as
translated is as follows:

SpcClal " LIN
Bullfrog, New, Feb. Late last
evening as the last shots were nreo IN
tunnel No. 1 al the property OF the
Gibraltar Mines syndicate, the miners
broke into what superintendent Nelson
believes to be ledge No. 8, from wnlch
.ooa vaInes were secured at the surface.
The tunnel is the company's main WORK
ing and is run at right angles with the
trend Of the veins for the purpose OF
tapping the ore bodies of the hve ms
tinct parallel veins which are Known 10
run through the ground.
When the ledge was cut in tunnel NO.
1 last night, paintings were taken anu
gave high gold values. Today another
shift of men will be put to work to ex-
plore as speedily as possible the ore
body to determine if it is the same edge
which shows in groupings on the
surface. This tunnel has also tapped
veins No. and 2, and the new ledge en-
countered gives the company three dis
tinct veins in the workings of the main
tunnel, known as No. i.
The drift along ledge Nc. 2, from the
main tunnel is in 145 feet and the
values are improving right along. SUI
perintendent Nelson expects to develop
shipping ore in this working within a
short time. The drift has been in mill
ing ore right along. but at the SURFACE
the trenching and shallow shafts devel-
oped a very good grade. and this drift
is expected to encounter the high grade
rock almost any time. Manganese Is
appearing in the face of the drift, which
indicates. from the experience in other
workings in the same hill, close prox-
unity to high values.
Tunnel No. 2 is in 225 feet from the
face of the hill and he company has
been sacking ore in this working from
ledge No. 4 for the past month. The
rock averages very high and the ore
sacked runs from $3.50 to $500 n by
closer sorting it could be made to aver
age into the thousands. AT the present
time 500 sacks of ore have been taken
from tunnel No. 2 as it has been driven
in the hill, but no systematic effort to
extract the ore has been made, the
product representing ore displaced by
development. However, the company
proposes to run an upraise to No. 3 tun-
tel, connecting the two tunnels, giving
good air and facilitating the more rapid
development of this section of the mine.

Al the present time, and since N.

the property. The ore where first en-.
eountered in his tunnel showed good
average values of from $3.50 to $500
with many handsome specimens of free

sands. but which did not represent an
average. Nothing of a lower grade than
s15O is being sacked in either tunnels
2 or 8.
4 short time ago while working in
tunnel No. 8 the miners encountered
basalt. which from a geological view,
noints strongly to the continuity of the
vein. Each days development in this
working has improved the showing
made. The longest tunnel on the
Gibraltar ground is tunnel No. 1, which
cuts at right angles the five lodges
which cross the property, n in which
the strike of ledge No. 3. was made last
evening. 1t is $40 feet long.

binary process of development, as no at
tempt has been made to stope, or push
operations which would increase prod
uction, but interfere with the company's
plan of thoroughly exploring the ore
bodies before converting them into cash.
The o~ficials of the company believe
that with greater depth even greater ore
bodies will be encountered than those
found in the higher zone A good many
evidences Of this UGH as the dip Of
certain veins, converging strikes, etc,
points to the entire probability of great
err ore bodies occurring between the 500
and 1,0O0-foot depths. The company's
engineer estimates that the present
available ore body is worth about $5,-

After some two weeks of timbering
sinking has been resumed in the shaft
on Florence ground formerly operated
by the Doherty brothers. The work
has been taken up at the 100-foot level
the depth at which the former lessees
abandoned operations and is to be
pushed until a depth of $50 feet is
gained when a crosscut is to be run out
to the Reilly ledge which has its strike
toward the holding. Although but a
few days have passed since sinking was
resumed the rock in the bottom of the
shaft is already showing stronger evil
dences of naturalization. and dasite, the
substance which came into the workings
at the 76-foot point. is becoming more
pronounced. Whenever dasite made it's
appearance in the Reilly workings high
grade values were an attendant feature
and this leads the new operators,
Messrs. Mckay, Lindsay and associates.
to believe that with the tapping of the
Reilly ledge by the crosscut from the
150-foot level that like results will be
obtained in their holding.
GOOD SURFACE VALUES
Gold values as high as $50 to the ton
are being secured from a 3-foot ledge
showing at surface on the yellow Dog
claim Of the Red Peak group located
southeast Of the Black Butte. The find
was made a few days ago while the
miners were running an open cut and It's

feature which enhances the chances in

PEER-PUGH

Monday of this week the vein was
tapped In the crosscut run out at the
250-foot level of the Peer and Pugh
shaft on the Cernishman claim of the
Florence company. Values at this time
average about $40 per ton with occa-
sional punches of quartz showing free
gold creeping in. Sulphides are like
wise an attendant feature and the
ledge appears likely to make into pay
very rapidly.
There has been no lack of high grade
values in the lead being worked in the
l00-foot level since it was first en-
eountered about two months ago and
not a day has passed since then when
ore has not been sacked and piled up
on the dump for shipment. Every eff
fort is being made to further increase
