Forecaster Don't Know.

THE reason for the cold weather we
have had during the past two or three
months is that high areas of pressure
have moved eastward from the north
ern portion of the country almost con-
tinuOusly. and these have caused cold
north winds. That is the only reason
/ can give for the cold weather areas
What makes these high areas keep up
all this season is more than l can tell !"
Not since 1882 has the abnormal
weather been approached in this part
of the country. 1t is five degrees be-
low the normal temperature for this
month. A temperature of A degrees
was recorded at the weather bureau
early today and 80 degrees at o'clock
tonight, and the mercury is expected
to drop considerably tonight.

Only Slow Speed of Train Prevents

For Crime Is Not Known.

Pittsburg. March 27.-Train No. 20 on
the Pennsylvania Railroad. known as
the keystone Express. eastbound, was
derailed near Wilmerdng, Pa, II miles
east of here today. The engine, two
mail cars and q combination baggage
and smoker left the tracks, but no one
was hurt.
1t is believed the train was Intention
ally derailed and that the deed was
done by the same parties who wrecked
the Chicago Limited train No. % at
Stewart last Friday.
The same plan was carried out, and
only the slow speed of the train, 50
miles an hour, saved it from turning
turtle. diving over a deep bank and
crushing out perhaps q score of lives
The work of the perpetrators was
thorough and in this their evil intent
is show. for both the eastbound and
westbound tracks were tempered with,
one rail joint on each track being dis
