HOT WEATHER RETURNS.
Another SuItry Sunday---Jupiter Plu-

Morning Rain Followed by
TOrrid Conditions.

The cool weather OF Saturday was
followed by rise in the temperature
yesterday. Conditions were uncom-
Portable last night, and rain fell at an
early hour this morning. The showers
were short-liyed, however, and the
humidity which followed was depress-
ing.
Rain, and plenty OF it, throughout
the country is plophesied by the
Weather Bureau for the coming week.
Cooler weather will follow the down.
pours in the beginning Of the week,
but this cool wave will give way to
higher temperatures later, although no
unseasonably hot weather is expected.
There was every reason to believe
from indications early this morning
that this city and vicinity were to be
vi tied by rainy spell. But, to the
disappointment Of all, the wind changed
from southeast to southwest and clear
ing weather followed. The humidity
rendered conditions uncomfortable, and
the mercury in the thermometer before
noon had reached the ninety degree
mark. At two o'clock it stood at 80.

HEAT AND DRoUGHTIN EUROPE.

HEAT AND DROUGHTIS EUROPE.
Paris is swetering in the worst heat
wave experienced in the last quarter of
century, which is made more severe
by the phenomenal drought, not
drop of rain having fallen for month.
The thermometer has risen steadily for
eight days from Sc to 81, the latter
figure being attained Saturday. All
indications poin. to continuance OF
the heat for several days at least, and
to add to the general suffering there
has been a partial breakdown in the
water system. Two big leaks in the
main water pipes, which were discov
cred Saturday, necessitated the cutting
off the supply. Many deaths from the
heat wave occurred, the daily average
being six, until Saturday, when eleven
were reported. At Fontainebeau the
drought was responsible for the spread
of fire which broke out in the most
picturesque part of the forest, 10 acres
of which we're destroyed. Troops were
called out and succeeded in getting the
fire under control, when a pore serious
outbreak occurred around Salamanca
Rocks. The fire there burned over
about $500 acres before the troops
mastered it.
Germany is suffering from the most
oppressive heat wave since 1904. Some
Of the registering instruments recorded
104 degrees. Mutitudes have gone to
the suburban lakes The tempera-
lures along the seacoast are equally
high Many heat prostrations are re-
ported.

TROUBLE AT SHOE FACTORY
A Trio Quit Work at the Paff Shoe
Factory and, it is Alleged, At
tempt to Intimidate Those
Who Remain at Work.

Among the cases before the Police
Court this morning was that Of q young
man who was charged with assaulsing
man with whom he had recently been
employed at the Paff Shoe Factory.
The complainant virtually withdrew
the charge and the case was dismissed.
During the investigation OF the alleged
assault it was ascertained that there
has recently been trouble at the fac
tory, three Of the operatives having
left their work on the ground that
they had not been given a show"
This, it is alleged, vas caused by the
proprietors placing workman at a
machine who was not acceptable to
the strikers. The complainant in the
stated that he was assaulted by
w. len last Saturday night within a
-l Of the factory. He did not give
names OF his assailants. Chas.
elm appeared in the courts as the
,ntative OF the factory Justice
in dismissing the case said should
any further interference with
the operatives at the shoe factory and
the offenders be brought before his
court he would impose the full penalty
prescribed by law. He also stated that
the proprietors OF the factory enjoyed
the privilege Of employing whom they
will and placing such at any work they
please, and that they must not be mo-
Tested nor those who work for them.

MAYOR OF GLEN ECHO AT.
Tackled.

Discord which has been brewing be-
tween Louis c. Witkowski mayor Of
Glen Echo, Md. and faction OF the
town council broke into open warfare
yesterday when the mayor was
attacked in Glen Echo park,
thrown to the ground and badly beaten.
His revolver was taken from him, and
he was forced to flee to safety. He es-
capped through the woods surrounding
the town, and fearing fresh attack,
he spent The night guarding his home
with rifle.
Mayor Witkowski last night sent
word to Gov. Austin i. CrotherS, Of
Maryland, saying the town is in state
OF revolt, and asking the state authori-
ties to give immediate aid to restore
quiet.
Fearing that some one would be
killed during the fracas at the park,
employees seized the mayor and took
him to building nearby, where he
was kept in hiding until a mob, which
opposed the mayor and tried TO get at
him, had dispersed. When the trouble
had apparently subsidized, he was hur-
ried through back door into the woods
and was taken home by a roundabout
route.
The trouble arose over the desire Of
Mayor Witkowski to enforce the Mary
land Blue laws, prohibiting work on
Sunday. Because OF the recent drought
the reservoir from which the town is
supplied with water yesterday was
nearly empty. The mayor decided to
turn off the water supply for time to
allow the reservoir to fill up. When
Witkowski attempted to turn the key
TO shut off the water he was attacked.
