EVER KNOWN IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, May 2S:-The ther-
mometer in the local Weather Bureau
made new low record today. At
o'clock this morning 1t registered "A
degrees, the lowest temperature ever
officially recorded in this city on May
28. The lowest temperature prev
iously recorded on this date was At

Forecaster Emery said to-day that
while this had been phenomenally
euiu sprng, it was not the coolest on
record The average temperature for
April and for May up to date, he said,
was not the lowest recorded, but one
would have to go back many years to
find it's equal.
The average temperature for the
month in thirty-siX years has been 60
degrees. The warmest May was that
of 1880, with an average temperature
of IS degrees, and the coldest that of
1882, with a 54 degree average
1t was on May 81, 1895, that the
mercury reached the highest point in
the tube, 95 degrees. The warmest
May, that of 1880, also produced one
of the lowest temperatures, "a de-
grees. That was on May 1. 1t was
just as cold on May 1 four years be-
fore. This is not the only May in
which snow has fallen. There was
what the Weather Bureau calls a

the month in 1891.

Animal Started OFF at Lewis ST.
and kearny Avenue and Ran
to State and Smith Sis.
HAD SEVERAL MARROW ESCAPES
This Horse Has Run Away Several
Times, but Luckily Nobody Was in
the Wagon-Wagon Crashed Into
Fence at Side of Stabieyard Gate
and Was Almost Demolished Sew
erai Persons Avoided Being Struck.

A horse belonging to s. Splitter ran
away again last night and completely
demolished the buggy to which it was
hitched.
The horse was standing at Kearny
avenue and Lewis street shortly be-
fore O'Clock while the driver was in
nearby house. A large weight was
on the ground to keep the horse from
straying away. The driver came out
of the house a little later and as he
lifted the weight and unclasped the
fastening from the horses bit, the
animal gave a spring and bolted UP
Kearny avenue before the driver
could get into the wagon and secure
the reins.
The animal in its mad flight mar
rowly escaped several trees as 1t
crossed Market street and turned in
to King street, where 1t ran full speed
to Smith street. The frightened anil
NAL turned into Smith street and
reached State street where 1t turned
the corner and dashed through the
gate of Mr.. Spitzer's stable yard. In
going through the gate, which was
open, the buggy struck the side oil
the fence and was wrecked. The horse
was caught in the yard and was soor
quieted.
