W ASHiKOTOtf. June 2 -The Weather
Bureau night issued the following
special bulletin:: -
The hot wave which has prevailed
during the past ten or twelve days
over New England, the Middle At
lanta States, the Lake region, tha
Ohio valley, the central West and
Northwest, continued during Tues
dayr although temporary relief was
afforded during the afternoon by nu
merous thunder storms in New Eng-
inHd.f?Athe Midfie Atlantic States,
and at Chicago and St. Louis.
The eastward movement of another
Ipw pressure area in the West renders
it improbable thai there will be ariy
long continued relief from the hieh
temperatures over the districts now
affected, but it is probable that they
w dl not reach the previous extremes
in the Atlantic States on account of
the .influence of a West India dis
turbance which appears to be moving
northward over the lesser Antilles.
' v In New York City. .
New. York, July 2 The heat
which has worked such a havoc in
this city since lsst Saturday was some
what mitigated late this afternoon by
a succession of thunder storms which
cleared the atmosphere and sent the
mercury tumbling down ten degrees
between the hours of 4:30 and 8 P. M.
Never did a down pour of rain receive
such an enthusiastic reception as did
this one. The thunder and lightning
were heavy and many houses were
struck, causing fires, but so far as
known no person was killed or injur
ed. During the 'last down pour hail
fell in quantities.
As the furious wind blew across Bat
tery Park it seemed to gain more en
ergy as it entered Bowling Green and
the narrow part of lower Broadway.
But in spite of all the rain there was
little sign of it on the streets three
hours after it fell.
The Hottest Joly Day.
It was the hottest day in the history
of the local Weather Bureau and a
day that almost reached the city record
since 1871.
The suffering caused by the heat
was Unprecedented. All the ambu
lances in the city as well as the patrol
wagons and many other vehicles were
kept busy answering calls. At the
rate of about one a minute the calls
came in over the police wires through
out the day, breaking all record
of demands upon the ambu
lance service and providing patients
enough to crowd all the hospitals of
the city as they have never before been
crowded. While the official tempera
ture up in the lofty tower of the
weather bureau remained at 98, the
thermometers on thestreet level ranged
all the way from 100 to 106.
Tbe terrible fatality of the heat was
shown in the large percentage of deaths
among those prostrated. Out of 328
cases of prostration reported up to
11:30 to-night, 1 148 1 resulted fatally.
Among tbe more prominent victims
were the Rev. Dr. Newland Maynard,
the Episcopal clergyman and lecturer,
and JacobS. Rogers, the famous loco
motive builder.
Destroyed by Lightning.
New York, July 2. Lightning
which struck an uncompleted bnck
and stone apartment: house on 95th
street near West End avenue this
evening destroyed the house with an
estimated loss of $150,000. The high
wind prevailing carried the sparks to
wairinnAAa in th vicinitv. csusintr
damage to the extent of several thous
and dollars more.
Among other buildings destroyed
was the Riverside Drive hotel, which
forty years ago was a resort of the
elite of the city.
St. Agnes' church, Brooklyn, was
destroyed this evening by a fire origi
nating from a lightning .bolt Only
the walls of the church, which was a
fashionable one, are left standing.
The loss was $250,000.
Kansas City, Mo.
Kansas City Mo , July 2 The tem

They Told Him to Slide.
"Well," why "is It you never-played
baseball yourself ?" asked a latter day
fan of the very stont man sitting in
the corner. . "You say you were the
mascot for the famous Lightfoot Lilies
of Jones county, and yet, with the ex
ception of the time that they put you
m to force the winning run In the thir
teenth by being hit in the. stomach,
you never seem to have played your
self. After such successful daring were
you never asked to play again? I don't
quite understand." . ' .
The stout man gazed at the speaker
searchlngly for a few minutes - and
then, apparently satisfied that the ques-
tlons were asked in good faith, proceed
ed to unfold the one dark shadow In
his otherwise sunny life. -
"Have you. never heard?' he oegan.
"Then now you shall hear, and, though
I think no blame should rest with me,
you yourself shall Judge of that Lis
ten. You have already referred to the
contest In which I forced the winning
run owing to the pitcher's inability to
put the ball over the plate without
striking my corporation. This, I be
lieve, was due to a law of physics
which states that but one body can oc
cupy the same space at the same time
or words to that effect But whatever
the cause, I acquired a reputation' for!
high class baseball second to none In
Jones county and at once got a regular
position on the team. My figure being
my stock in trade, Captain Slugger
Burrows of the Lightfoots spared no
pains In bringing me to physical per
fection before the next game with the
Roarers. Under a carefully selected
diet of beer, butter, lard, potatoes and
cod liver oil I rapidly rose from a mea
ger 320 pounds to the magnificent fig
ure of 412.
"For the first eight Innings of the
great contest, which ultimately proved
my downfall, I fully sustained my en
viable reputation for artistic ball play
ing. Three times the bases were full,
with the Roarers one run In the van.
Three times I proved the Lightfoots'
salvation by forcing the tieing run by
means of my superior figure. Three
times the home rooters vied with one
another In futile attempts to pay me
suitable homage. I was truly more
than queen. And then that fatal ninth,
with its brimful cup of gumless bitters!
Pour hundred and twelve pounds of
shattered idol!
"In the last half of the ninth I reach
ed first through my customary strategy.
Later I succeeded In gaining third by
a daring bit of base running while the
Roarers' fielders were searching tor
Bull' Thompson's liner on the other
side of the center field fence. Sammie
Salmon and one of the Foote twin?
died easy deaths on infield pop flies.
There we were: Ringtail Roarers. 17;
Lightfoot Lilies, 16; two out, Thomp
son and yours truly on second and
third bases -respectively and the in
vincible 'Home Run' Hanklns at thd
bat All were breathless with sus
pense. ' The pitcher swung his arm
back slowly, and then, swish, bang!
'Home Hun' nankins never missed his
aim. I struggled bravely toward the
plate, and in less time than it takes to
tell it Thompson was at my back push
ing violently. I doubled my efforts. A
moment later Ilankins himself caught
up and joined In the single file struggle
for home and victory. 'Twas do or
die, and the people were like lunatics
In their wild excitement. Spurred ou.
by their cheers. I was soon but five
feet from the plate, with Thompson
and Hankins still dancing at my heels.
Then suddenly a voice rose clearly
above the others, 'glide. Willie, slide!'
it rang out. Oh, fatal words!"
At this point the fat ex-mascot was
overcome by emotion and stopped
short It was some minutes before be
could pull himself together sufficiently
to go on with his sad story.
"Well," he said at last "1 slid. Div
ing gracefully forward, 1 slid a nicely
calculated slide that brought my chest
directly above the rubber. But the en
thusiasm this occasioned among the
Lilies was short lived.
' 'Touch the plate, you fool; touch the
plate!' 'Bull' Thompson and Hankins
yelled together.
"Now, would yon believe it, sir, try
as I would I couldn't. My corporation
had been overtrained. Lying face down,
I was so high from tbe ground that my
arms would not reach tbe plate.
."'Rock mef I cried. 'Rock meT
" 'Rock you?' 'Bull' Thompson roared.
'Rock you? We'll rock you, stone you,
egg you, and touch that plate, d'ye
hear? ;
" 'Rock me, 1 pleaded, with tears
In my eyes. Ypu don't understand.
Rock me like you would a rocking
horse. Tilt me. I can't touch bottom.'
" 'Twas too late. While I had been
explaining my predicament' to those
blockheads, the Roarers' fielders found
the ball and er well; we lost After-.
ward I told Captain Slugger Burrows
how It happened and begged for, just
one more chance. No use. He said
that any fool with my shape ought to
have sense enough to slide on his back
and that but say, honest Injun, now.

RAILROAd WREdKS.
Tbomai Scott Used to Haadl
.. Tlier.i "Without Gloves.
' "When that wonderful railroad gen
ius, the late Thomas A. : Scott,'.- was
building up the Pennsylvania system,
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished marvelous,w
said an old railroad man. "Scott was
essentially a man of actions For. ex--ample,
at one time there occurred on
the dine a freight wreck that piled up
scores of cars in a confused heap In a
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line. ...
"The local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
but how the wreck couKl be cleared
away and the line reopened in less than
two weeks. At this juncture Scott ar
rived on the" scene and after a-survey
of the wreck, sent for a great quantity
ef coal oil, with which he had the pile
thoroughly drenched. It was ; then
touched off, and the god of fire soon
removed all trace of it and traffic was
resumed on the line in 24 hours.
"A bridge fell, and it was feared a
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 2,000 men to work on that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question of delay. Those were the
days when ' such things counted and
were not only possible, but necessary.
Today railroading is reduced to such a
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists.' The roads are too safe
guarded for that . -
"The last instance , I remember of
such railroad-work as. that was at the
Johnstown flood In 1889, 1 think It was.;
FrAnk,ThAmgoi.i by ; gja jw;0fe 'and, J
true use or sme lines, was one or the
first to arrive upon the scene. -Once
there, he took full control, the division
superintendents from all over the line
were summoned, and a particular task
was given to each one to do instantly.
They one and all responded as besjt
they could to the spur, aud the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There were one or two failures,,
however, and those men, while they
were kept on as superintendents of un
important mountain divisions, were
never again promoted." New York

I WIN" AND "I LOSE.
Sporting Men Ignore Tnelr Tenses
and Seem Pleased.
"Elave you ever noticed the satisfied
manner of gamblers - while twisting
their tenses into the 'I .win' aud 'I lose'
common to the fraternity?" remarked
a man who has a fondness for Investi
gating the peculiarities of his fellows.
"I have thought of that for a long
time ever since that form of expres
sion came into common use among
gamblers. Watch the first sport you
hear talking In that style and notice
the pleasure he seems to take In roll
ing his method of expression. The
iense he uses evidently carries him
back, and he enjoys again in the pres
ent the pleasures of the act when he
speaks of it. Even if he says he 'lose'
it gives him gratification, according to
the philosophy of Charles Fox, who is
authority for . the statement that the
greatest pleasure in the world, nexi to
winning money, is to lose it.
"The ungrammaticai fashion among
gamblers dates back about 13 years.
It seems Impossible to conceive any
reason for the custom other than the
one I have mentioned. That form of
speech is still growing in popularity.
The so .called 'sporting men' have ex
tended the scope of the present tense to
all their verbs. It jars on me some
times, but even then I find cousolation
in the knowledge tha if the 'sports'
did not affect that particular style of
speech 03 In 100 of them would do even
wfrp, and their present picturesque
defiance of grammar Is a relief from
the possibilities of such expressions as
'1 seen' and 'I done.' "New York

rule, as promising as he expected ; that
he finds more farmers in the grass than
he had any idea of. Fortunately the
weather is all that could be asked for
grass killing, so it may be by the
Fourth those afflicted with it will be
very few and far between. The corn
crop is not so promising as cotton,
having been neglected in order to get
the grass and weeds out of the cotton.
Tarboro Southerner: Jack
Sears, a white man, Friday, on his
farm about twelve miles from Scot
land Neck, between that place and
Enfield, was killed by a negro named
Berry. -They had some difficulty out
in the field, when the negro with his
hoe split Mr. Sears' -head open.
Deputy Sheriff Dunn and a posse
went out for him Friday night, but
could ' not find him until the next
morning, when he was captured and
taken to jail.

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
New York, July 2. Cotton had an
irregular movement, being strong all
the morning, weaa in early afternoon
and steady for a. time during the last
hour. The opening was steady with
July down two points and other
months one to five points higher. For
the next hour, the course was upward
on bullish late cables from Liverpool,
drought reports front the Western belt
and fears that the weekly government
report would be very bullish. The
first spurt oi buying earned August
to 8 cents and January to 7.72. When
the weekly weather statement ap
peared it was at once sized up as less
bullish tnan anticipated, uotton
bought in the morning on the idea that
a sharp advance would follow the
reading of the report was unloaded
hastily and prices broke to 7.85 for
August and to 7. 59 for J anuary. Later,
covering and some buying on the
reaction theory steadied the mar
ket, though prices failed to rally
to the high level of tbe forenoon.
The South and Europe were moder-
rate buyers eariyf ana several room
taaders were conspicuous at different
times as supporters of July, and Au
gust. Summer months gave little
sisrn of being manipulated. Shorts
were rather uneasy concerning the
probable showing of to-morrow's
monthly bureau report and covered in
the last half hour, but room pressure
caused a reaction at the close and the
market was finally barely steady, with
prices net one to thirteen points lower.
