"OH, JOY. 1T HAS RAINED.
WaXahachic and Vicinity Visited by
CopiouS Downpour Tuesday.

The drouth which has prevailed so
long in Ellis county was broken in
the immediate vicinity of Waxaha-
chic Tuesday morning by a generous
precipitation 1t is needless to say
that the rain was welcomed by every
one. Not only did it abate the dust
nuisance in town for a few days, at
least, but the cooling of the atmos-
phere Will have rejuvenating effect
upon the people. The rain gauge of
| Local Observer Longserre shows that
at noon Tuesday the precipitation
was slightly in excess of three
quarters of an inch. The rain fell
/ slowly and had plenty of time to be
absorbed by the parched earth. A
rise of about one foot was noted in
Waxahachie creek at IL O'Clock.
Telephone reports to this paper
indicate that the rain was local over
the county. Some places were touch
ed while at others there was only a
light sprinkle. Outside of Waxaha-
HE it is probable that the heaviest
downpour was in the Nash country.
There was also heavy rain at
| Boyce. Forreston, Ray and Rocket
er was reported at Boz. Avalon re-
ceived a rain that will be beneficial
to crops in that community. At En-
mis- the precipitation was light. At
noon vehicles were still picking up
dry dirt.

ZEPP'S RIGHT
 FOOT AMPUTATED


 With both feet crushed, William Os- car Zepp, 31, for several years a farm CT in Stratford, but recently a resident at 51 Wordin avenue, this city, was picked up last night at a point about half way between Paradise Green and Pine Rock Park on the Shelton trolley line. He was brought to this city. This morning his right foot was ampu- tated at St. Vincent's hospital Zepp has been unable to give any account of how he happened to be beside the tracks, because of his weakened condi- tion as the result of losing much blood.
 At St. Vincent's hospital this after noon it was stated that Zepp was rest ing comfortably. He has had no cSll- CTS since he has been at the hospital.
 The car which ran over Zepp was the South bound car from Shelton op- erated by Motorman John OBrien and Conductor Shields. O'Brien states that he did not see Zepp until he was right upon him. He lay prostrate in the roadway with his feet over the west rail of the South bound track. For some time past Zepp has been employ ed by Joseph Motil at the Raven Stream hotel, now the Pine Grove Inn. When the car came to a stop Zepp lay IT feet back of the rear fender of the car. The conductor was the first man to reach him. Zepp still wore no cap. There was no evidence that Zepp had been drinking.

FAILED TO SPECIFY EXACT NUMBER OF
 COPS TOBE NAMED

There has been a report in cfrcula- ton that City Auditor would refuse, to pay the sixth man appointed to the on the ground that the board of Ap- portionment had provided for five men only. This view was taken because of the firm expression of the auditor in his annual report to the fire depart ment where he declared that he felt it his duty to state that in the future that he would not pay for any more men than were specified by the tax board.
 The auditor said this morning: "It is case of specifying. I recommend ed that the Board of Apportionment provide money enough for five new policemen. I find that the tax board in making up it's final list just ap- propriated for ~new patrolmen" and did not specify how many. From the sum one would judge there were to be five"
 Mr. Keating said that he did not know whether the number was omitted intentionally or not but implied that he would have protested against pay number had been specified by the board of Apportionment. He thought there would be money enough for the six men as he understood the new ap- pointees. were not going on the force right away. He also understood that there was a vacancy in the depart ment.
 A member of the police board said this morning: eve now have 80 patrol men, the full number allowed by the Common Council. The number allowed before was 75 and we had "A men so force to 80 men allowed us to put on six new men"

CHILDREN AT STAKE
 IN THIS QUARREL
Rich American Woman After Divorce, Welded
 German Baron.
With Her American Born Sons She Went to Ger many to Reside-The Fla ther of Her Boys Takes Matter Into Court Judge Gager Denies Mother.

Judge Edwin Gager, in the Superior court, denied, this morning, the mo- ton to strike out of the answer of the defense certain allegations, in the suit of William c. Morrill, against Baron ess Won Romberg, Germany.
 In his memorandum Judge Gager said that in case of this nature the fundamental question was not the right of one parent as against the other, but the welfare of the children, and that it did not follow that the custody of the children must be awarded to either. It might be the duty of the court to say whether either parent, or a third per- son should have the children.
 Mrs. Morrill, was Antoinette Con- verse, daughter of the president of Lib- erty National Bank, N. Y. She ob- tained a divorce, after contest and received the custody of two children, aged five years and seven years. She then married the Baron Won Romberg, German citizen, and removed to Ger many with the children. Attorney Stiles Judson represents the plaintiff, and Attorney Stoddard of New Haven. Baroness Won Romberg. MT. Morrill, asks that the care of the children be confided to him.
