The office OF Coroner Bullock was

HEAT WAVE TO STAY.
No Change in Temperature Till
After Sunday. is New
Prediction.

After promising cooler weather for
last night and the remainder of the
week the Washington bureau an
nounces in its daily bulletin to Every
Evening that the heat wave will con-
tinue over Sunday at least, but there
viii be some breeze stirring.
The weather last night and yester-
day was a repetition of that of the two
days preceding. The mercury on the
street rose to 90 yesterday afternoon
and last night again the city fairly
broiled. The heat was SO intense that
sleeping was indeed difficult, and
many households report as not hav-
ing been able 10 CLOSE an eye all
night"
Today the heat record was 50 at
noon. on Every Evenings thermom-
eter. which was the same as yester-
day at the same hour, with the prob
ability that Ii Will reach yesterdays
maximum later in the day.
The thermometer at 1890 o'clock
this afternoon registered 80 degrees I'm
the shade
AT S O'Clock this morning it had gone
down to 77, due largely to the fact
that there was a good air blowing
FROM the northwest earlier i'm the day.
Last night the lowest the mercury
registered was 30 degrees. The high
est point il reached yesterday was 80.
Rain was reported a day or two
ago in the vicinity of Lenape, Pa. but
it did not amount TO much. Threaten
ing storm clouds in the west early
last evening soon were dispersed and
disappeared and the hoped for rain
did not materialize.
The public swimming pools in all
sections of the city afford the great
est relief 10 be found and the residents
especially the boys and girls, have
been taking advantage of them. At
the Brandywine pool this week the
total attendance will reach more than
1900. and this despite the fact that
"Wednesday afternoon and evening and
all day Friday are pay days for boys
and three mornings during the week
none but girls who pay admission are
admitted 10 the pool. AT Kirkwood
pool. where every day and night is
free, it is estimated the attendance for
the week viii run close to $1,000. Del
amore pool is equally well patronized
and the pool at Sixteenth and Walnut
streets for colored people gets its full
share of attendance.
While the excessive heat causes
much suffering in the city the real
damage is found in the country. Crops
are being burned up and truck is be-
ing damaged TO a great extent so that
the farmers are facing a serious loss

Lawns about town are yellow with the
burned grass and flowers have been
withered away. The weather bureau
can hold out no hope for immediate
relief and il cannot be predicted when

IL also meant that Joseph r. Guffey
Of Pittsbnrg was out of control Of the

Back of this announcement lies q
story seldom equaied in American
business and political biography. all
the more picturesque because II closely
parallels the story Of another Guffey
of the next preceding generation. For
Joe Guffey Is nephew Of old Colonel
james NJ. Gnffey. also Of Pittsburg,
who is said to have made and lost more
fortunes in oil than any other person
in the United States.
Joseph Guffey. like his uncle, rose
from modest circumstances to aff1u-
ence. but he and the directors of the
Guney- Gillespie Co. who remained
loyal to him had to accept the in

NOAH SW|GGETT IS
BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN DROWNED
Said to Have Disappeared While
Swimming in Lake Near
Blackbird.
MYSTERY ABOUT THE CASE

Although several men worked all
nisht dragging the mill pond at Black
bird. no trace has yet been found of
the body of Noah Swiggett. aged %
years. farm hand. living in tho ten
ant house on the Donovan farm, at
Prices. not far from Blackbird. who
il supposed to have been drowned
some time yesterday afternoon while
swimming. Swiggett leaves a wife
and three small children. They have
lived in the vicinity of Blackbfrd about
one year, having gone 10 that section
nom Dover
Considerable mystery envelops the
disappearance OF the young man, which
will hardly be cleared up until his
body is recovered or some trace of
hlm has been found. His supposed
drowning has been reported TO the Of
fee OF Coroner Bullock, but this of
ncial can do nothing in the premises
until the body is recovered.
From what could be learned this
morning, Swiggett yesterday after
noon went 10 the pond with two other
men. who were washing carriages in
tloN water. He is said TO have an
nounced his intention of going swim
ming and accordingly he removed his
shoes. tossed his hat on the ground
ard. attired in his shirt and overails
he wadcd into the water. Later he
ssid he was going to swim across the
lake on a plank and started TO do so.
The men washing the carriages a
few minutes later saw the plank float
ing on the surface Of the lake some
distance from shore. but Swiggett had
disappeared. The alarm was given and
searching parties started out about 4
O'Clock 10 drag the lake. They worked
until ! o'clock this morning but could
hnd no trace Of the body. Whether
Swiggett was seized with cramps when
he got into deep water and went down
before he wSs able 10 cry for help, or
whether he reached the opposite shore
and disappeared has not been deter
mined
Mrs. Swisgett stated 10 some OF her
nelEhbors. who went to her home. that
her husband was subject TO cramps
and that frequently during the night,
when he had such attacks, he had TO
get out of bed for relief She said
they had had no trouble of any kind
and she knew OF no reason why her
husband would want 70 leave her If
he had gone away. She was grief
stricken when informed Of his dis
appearance, for he was the sole sup
port Of herself and their three small
children.
Search for the body was resumed
TO-DAY, but no report was received of
its having been found.
