THE WEATHER SIGNALS.
EXPLANATION OF THE FLAG AND WHIS
TLE S1C.NALS ADOPTED BY THE
UNITED STATES WEATHER
BUREAU AND DISPLAYED
BY J. M. GIUDING & CO.
The Weather Bureau furnishes, when
practicable, for the benefit of the gen
eral public and those interests depen
dent to a greater or less extent upon
weather conditions, the Forecasts"
which are prepared daily, at 10 a. m.
and 10 p. m. for the following day.
These weather forecasts are telegraph
ed to observers at stations of the
Weather Bureau, railway officials, and
many others, and are so worded as to
be readily communicated to the pub
lic by means of flags or steam whistles
The flags adopted for this purpose are
five in number, and of the form and
dimensions indicated below :
Number i, white flag, six feet
square, indicates clear or fair weather.
Number 2, blue flag, six feet square,
indicates rain or snow. Number 3,
white and blue flag, (parallel bars of
white and blue,) six feet square, in
dicates that local rains or showers will
occur, and that the rainfall will not
be general. Number 4, black trian
gular flag, four feet at the base and
six feet in length, always refers to
temperature ; when placed above num
bers 1, 2 or 3 it indicates warmer
weather; when placed below num
bers 1, 2, or 3 it indicates colder
weather ; when not displayed the in
dications are that the temperature will
remain stationaVy, or that the change
in temperature will not vary more
than four degrees from the tempera
ture of the same hour of the preceding
day from March to October, inclusive,
and not more than six degrees for the
remaining months of the year. Num
ber 5, white flag, six feet square, with
black square in centre, indicates the
approach of a sudden and decided
fall in temperature. This signal is
not to be displayed unless it is ex
pected that the temperature will fall
to forty-two degrees, or lower, and is
usually ordered at least 24 hours in
advance of the cold wave. When
number 5 is displayed, number 4 is
always omitted.
When displayed on poles the sig
nals should be arranged to read down
ward when displayed from horizontal
supports a small streamer should be
attached to indicat; the point from
which the signals are to be read.
Miserable Sinner, but Not the Worst.
At a revival in a country town the
invitation was given for any one who
wished to live a better life and desir
ed the prayers of the congregation to
rise. A man rose. The congregation
was jubilant and noisy with " aniens."
Looking about him, he said :
" There is no need of making such
a fuss and noise. I ain't the worst
man that ever lived. From Judge.

sumption is a germ disease, but if the
blood is good, and keeps the lungs strong

after that, strong and pure blood will

Senator Cochran's Son Shot.
Garrett Cochran, son of Senator J.
Henry Cochran, of Williamsport, and
Frederick Picrson Ohl, of New
Castle, Ta., both students in the
freshman class at Princeton college,
were shot and dangerously, if not
mortally, wounded at 10 o'clock Sat
urday night by a negro named John
Collins.
The shooting took place in an
alley in front of the side entrance to
Anderson's hotel. Collins is a labor
er, 26 years old. He had had words
with the students and in a fit of rage
drew a twenty-two caliber revolver
and fired first at Ohl, then at Coch
ran and again at Ohl. All the shots
took effect. The bullet fired at
Cochran struck him in the mouth
and traveled to the base of his right
ear. Both of Ohl's wounds were in
the stomach. The students fell to
the sidewalk and were quickly re
moved to the college hospital. Col
lins was placed under arrest by Mar
shall R. B. Tyrell. He took his
prisoner to the town lockup.
A report gaining circulation that
both Ohl and Cochran were dying,
the students grew very excited and
demands that the negro be lynched
went up on every side. "Hang him,
hang him," was an exclamation re
peated frequently. At the lockup it
was heard that some of the students
had procured a rone and were
marching there in a body. Marshall
Tyrell, fearing for the prisoner's
safety, handcuffed him and removed
him to a piece of woods about a
quarter of a mile from the college,
and kept him there until after mid
night. By that time the excitement
had subsided and a conveyance was
obtained and Tyrell and two officers
took Collins to the county jail at
Trenton. Stephen Downs, also col
ored, was lodged in the county jail at
the same time. He was in the com
pany of Collins immediately before
the shooting took place.
Ohl and Cochran, with some other
students, it seems, were walking
down Witherspoon street a little be
fore 10 o'clock. Collins and Downs
approached them from an opposite
direction, and Collins used insulting
language, directing it toward the
students. The latter rejoined sharp
ly and there was considerable pro
fanity. A few minutes later Cochran
and Ohl met Collins in the alley al
luded to. Downs was a few feet
away. Collins stood in the door of
the hotel bar and reviled the students
and dared them to enter. They un
dertook to do so when the negro
whipped out his weapon and began
the firing. This is the story of the
affair as given by persons who were
on the scene soon after the shooting.
The negroes would see no reporters
in the county jail. Downs bears the
reputation of being a peaceable man,
and he claims that the students as
saulted them with fence rails.
Ohl died on Tuesday but Cochran
is improving.
Judge Dunham accompanied by his
attorney, Frank Ingham, Esq., ol La
porte. was in town on Monday and
Tuesday looking over the ground in
the judicial contest proceedings and
getting ready for the battle which
commences here on the 17th. Wit
nesses are being subpoenaed by both
sides and preparations are being made
for a battle when business commences
Week after next. The conlfsta-ts
seem confident of victory, and if they
throw out anywhere near the number
of votes they claim they will, there
can be no question as to the result.

WEATBER FOR JUNE.
MR. HICKS PROMISES SOMK SEVERE
STORMS DURING THE MONTH.
Irl Hicks, the weather prophet
whose lorecasts are looked for encii
month with interest, and, on the part
of sonic, considerable faith, offers the
following for June : Early in the
month expect phenomenal rains and
local waterspouts, much hail, lightn
ing and thunder, with dangerous gales
and tornadoes in many localities. E.x
trcme warmth will prevail during the
storms, sudden drops in temperature
afterwards to very cool.
About the 21st of June is always a
time of electrical and storm perturba
tions beyond normal. The reaction
ary period being central at that time
this month, increases the probability
of great electrical and other distur
bances the centre of the Venus
equinox falling just in time to aggra
vate and prolong the storim. About
the 15th to the ioth Vulcan will join
the disturbers, and his presence will
be detected by extreme change to
warmer, ending in varied and general
storms of lightning and thunder.
About the 22nd and 23rd look for
very warm weather, and possiDiy tor
some of the most active storms of the
month. Note the effect of the moon's
perigree on the 24th, and see the
greater disturbance is about that time,
or at the new moon on the 22nd.
Very cool weather for the season is
likely to follow the storms at this
time. The last period of the month
is central, with the moon's first quar
ter, on the 29th. This indicates that
the temperature will be high, and
storms will be on their eastward
march as June goes out. See if such
is not the case, in a progressive way,
over the country generally.
That many storms will take place
in June, seems inevitable. None of
them may be dangerous, but no harm
can come for preparing for the worst.
Overwhelming rains may not come,
but the chances are good for such.
Look for much for more than you
wiil see in the following month, and
prepare in every way to make the
best of it. For instance, have all
your broken, cracked cisterns repair
ed, connect and repair your spouts,
and clean out and strengthen the em
bankments of your ponds.
