RECORD-BREAKING WEATHER.
Itnin Cooled the Atmosphere During

Yesterday made a successful effort
to out-do Thursday In the hot weather
race. At 9 o'clock a. ni. the mercury
rested on the S3 margin and from that
time on It went up the lutlder until, at
noon, the victory was won with U8
poir.ts to Thursday's H7, thus winning
by one heat.
A ti ni - Helen t breeze sprang up from
the west shortly after the noon hour
und ii Providential storm followed lif
ter many threats. The rain was light
nnd was unaccompanied by any severe
thunder sounds. It, however, cooled
the atmosphere and that was sufficient.
About 4 o'clock the gun again came out,
but the ruin ugaln fell a short time
afterward.
Joseph Evans, a plumber employed
by John J. Oorimin, was overcome by
the heat ut noon. He was removed
to his home in the North End.

FOOL'HARDY ACT.
Young Mn n Threatened the Lives of
mi Kxeursion Party.
The Scranton Stove works employes
participated In tin excursion to Lake
Ariel yesterday and on the return trip
a drunken man uncoupled the curs while
the train was passing through Wlm
mers at a fast rate of speed. The ac-
I tlon might have caused a catastrophe
had not the conductor of the train
quickly replaced the coupling pin. This
was possible owing to the down grade
of the track at that point.
The would-be train wrecker was ar
rested by Detective David Ris-he, who
was on the train, and when Scranton
was reached he was placed In the cen
tral police station. The prisoner would
not divulge his name last night for fear
that the news would reach his parents.
He Is a young man and Is an employe of
the stove works. His home Is in John
son's patch. The train conductor will
appear against him this morning.

IDLE A MONTH.
Lon( Time Before the Leggett's Creek
Aline Will ResumeLocation,
of the Fall '
According to a statement made by
Plreboss Isaac Price, of tlie Leggett's
Creek mine, which was closed down
Thursduy morning, owing to a settling,
work will not be resumed for at least
one month. A large quantity of gas
which accumulated since the shut-down
was wholly expelled yesterday.
The affected area is not, as was at
first supposed, directly under that por
tion of the North End known as "the
Notch," but is beneath the area lying
between Charles and Wales streets,
about 600 yards from the foot of the
shaft.
Four hundred men are thrown out of
employment by the fall.
YAGLE'S DEATH EXPLAINED.
.Vo Doubt but That He Was Killed on
the Huilroud.
Coroner Longstreet was informed last
night of a circumstance which removes
the doubt as to the death of William
F. Yakle. of Little England, Wednes
day night on the Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Western tracks. As that day
was pay day and only $1.36 was In 1U
pockets when found, this led to the
suspicion that he wus robbed and mur
dered. Bernard Thuuer, of Ash street In
formed the coroner that Yugle was
In his place that evening und was un
der the Influence of liquor. He took
$25 out of his pockets, placed It In an
envelope, and left it with Mr. Thuuer.
Soon after he left, the news come back
tin' t a man was killed on the railroad.

MONETARY CONDITIONS.
Sudden Chances Brought About by Sen
national Collapse in Chicago.
Dun & Company's Review.
New York, Aug. 7. R. O. Dun & Co.
In their Weekly Review of Trade to
morrow will say:
The sensational collapse of ppecula
tors at Chicago who controlled Diamond
Match and New York biscuit stocks and
had hoisted them to fancy figures, with
the consequent closing of the Chicago
Stock Exchange for a period yet In
definite, though followed by remark
ably few failures, brings a sudden
change in monetary conditions through
out the country. At least a month
earlier than had been expected Chicago
has drawn heavily upon its bank bal
ances here, and withdrawals of other
western funds may naturally result.
Europe was also moved to sell American
stocks rather freely, so that the aver
age of sixty of the most active ruilroud
stocks fell about 2.18 per share and the
average of trust stocks about I. IN.
It Is Important that the increase of

Labor is more disturbed than usual.
The great strike at Cleveland has bro
ken out again and Involves several
branches of labor. The Iron furnace
men of the Chenango Valley resist a re
duction to their wages of May, lSlt.1,
though Mahoning valley workers do not;
the iron workers throughout the coun
try are striving to cut down cost In
order to keep in operation; tlie Iron
mines of the Oogebic range are stop
ping; the suspension of cotton mills
has become more general and over
four million spindles are said to be idle
at Fall River alone, and probably three
eighths or more of the entire, producing
capacity In the country, tlie rubber
works have mostly Btopped, and not
withstanding the light weight opening,
a number of woolen, mills. Evidently
the working force and wages haw
been reduced.
Failures in July, classified by branch

Thomas J. Dlekerron, J. B. Champion.
Levi C. Alberslon, Charles B. Adams, all
the Jurois.
The second Verdict reads:
We. the undersigned Jurors, also find
that Ensineer Erward Farr. of the At
lantic City railroad, failed to have his
engine under proper control on uiiproacn
Ing said crossing, uud that Towerman
George F. Hauser In giving the excursion
truin of the West Jersey ruilroad the right
of way over a fast express, used bad
Judgment. We ulso ure of the opinion
thut Engineer John Orelner of said ex
cursion train, erred in not exercising
greater care on crossing uhead of said
fast express. (Slgnedl Churles Evans,
foreman: Thomas J. IHekerson, Charles
B. Adams.
The third verdict Is as follows:
The undersigned Jurors are of the opin
ion thut the cause of the collision was the
failure of Edward Fair, engineer of train
No. 23, to give heed ill time to the seina.
phore signals set ugulust him, uud thus
failed to huve his train under proper con
trol on appioarhlug the signals und cross
lug under the rules. The undersigned Jur
ors further declare thai Towerman
George F. llanser may have used pooc
Judgment In his estimate of the distance
uwuy of the Atlantic City railroad train
No. 23, when he gave the white boards to
the West Jersey and Seashore excursion
train No. 700. (Signed! Lewis Evuns,
Levi C. Albertsou, J. B. Champion.
Coroner McLaughlin tonight ordered
the discharge of George Hauser, the
towerman, who was held under $500 ball
to await the action of tl.o coroner"
Jury. The Jury did not directly hold any
one of the ruilroad employes criminally
responsible for the disaster.
it now devolves upon the prosecutor
and grand Jury to determine whether
any of the employes were guilty of
criminal negligence In the discharge
their duties.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Under this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by the writer's
name. The Tribune will not be held re
sponsible for opinions here expressed. J
The President's Proclamation.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The president's proclamation touch
ing upon the neutrality laws, Is an ex
traordinary document, considering thu
fact that it isi Issued lo tlie people of he
I'nlted Stales ul the close of the nine,
teenth century, a period when the last
vestiges or tyranny and human oppres
sion upon the American continent, uml its
adjacent islands, should be forever wiped
out. and the clang of the tyrant's chain
no longer heard ulong the coasts of the
new world. But the president has simply
acted In his executive capacity. Tile neu
trality laws appear upon the statute
books; they are the enactments of our
national congress, and the spirit, pro
visions and implication of these laws give
the president the right to proclaim them,
and to demand their enforcement.
But whut should be the import of our
neutrality laws when we come to deal
with nutlons on this side of the Atlantic,
who, like the "American colonies" have
done, endeavor to remove the shackles
which bind them to a yoke entirely for
eign to the principles of American repub
licanism? Are our neutrality laws con
strued and enacted In accordance with the
spirit of the Monroe doctrine? It Is not
our province to question whut might be
termed the tolerant spirit of our neutral
ity laws; but it is evident thut the wis
dom of our laws should be conducive to
the best Interests of America. The line of
demarkutlon should be drawn between
republican principles .of freedom, and the
Imperial und despotic notions of freedom
peculiar to the monarchical governments
of Europe antiquated notions which are
not In accord with the advancement of
the oge. The declaration of American In
dependence Is the grandest and most lib
eral Instrument of human freedom ex
tant. It Is the standard by which we
should be guided when we speak of iu--cording
freedom to other struggling peo
ples. The sous of Cuba are today Inspired
with the force which the thoughts or free
dom imparts; and it is neutral, though
prohibited by neutral laws, that the sym
puthy und material aid of some of the
residents of the I'nlted States should be
extended to the Cubans. History hereby
simply repeats Itself, of which fact Texas
presents an Instance worthy of mention.
The history of Texas may be summed up
In the past six decades, and allusion' to it
shows that the Texan movements for
freedom were similar to the advance
made by the Cubans ut the present time.
In l.v'l. when Mexico and Texas had de
clared their Independence from Spanish
rule. It was evident that Texas would
ascend to a clearer state of freedom,
more congenial to the Texan mind than
thut enjoyed by the Mexicans. Accord.
Ingly. in 1S35. Hie present "Lone Star
State" raised the standard of independ
ence. Residents of the I'nlted Sla'es
then went to her assistance, and helped
to win her buttles. The same form of
atrocity was then dealt to the Tex.'tns
which marks the course of Spanish rule In
Cuba. "Eight thousand" Mexicans mas
sacred the "feeble gurrlson" at Fort Al
amo on the lith of March. 1835, among the
massacred being Hon. David Crocket, ex
member of congress from Tennessee. In
the following month .t lit- buttle of San
Janelnto decided the victory for Texas,
which was acknowledged by the i'nlted
States, Great Britain and France. Gen
eral Sam Houston! who led the Texans to
victory, was a Virginian. He was a man
whose strength or character, determina
tion and luce of freedom hud made bis
name memorable In connection with the
freedom of Texus. even though his namn
might not have been placed in the cate
gory of "flilibiisters."
Tlie histories of the Greek colonies, the
supremacy of Athens: the conquest of
Macedonia and Greece by the Roman",
and the history of Rome itself. Carthage
and all the nations or Western Europe,
show how fierce have been the struggles
for Imperial supremacy or the freedom of
the people us the case might have been.
And as the hlstoriun carlres his thoughts
back to that age which marked the sum
mit of Pagan glory, and down through
the Mediaeval ages, and In the period of
time, when Spain herself struggled man
fully for her political existence, when her
Ibariun tr'bes and Phoenician colonies
were subdued by the Curthuginians. who
themselves, In their turn were overpow
ered by the Romans, he perceives through
out tlie historic Held thut the struggle
for freedom 'prevailed then as it does now.
And so It shall continue in Cuba until the
despotic sway of Svialn in the Cuiibbeun
sea shall drop Into history as an event of
the past.
At the present time the geographical
importance of Cuba and Its proximity to
the Vnlled Slates may not have received
that degree of consideration which they
merit. Sicily in the .Mediterranean stands
prominent in the annals of ancient his
tory. Cuba washed by the waters of the
Caribbean and the adjacent islands In Mr
Atlantic, shall yet act a prominent part
in the history of the American continent.
What relation do the Islands of Great
Britain and Irelund bear to Western
Europe: and the Islands of Japan to Eeust.
era Asia geographically, commercially
and politically? Comparatively. the
"West Indies" should stand In the same
relation to the eastern coast of the Amer
ican cont'nent.
