WEATHER STATION FOR US
Petition Sent (0 Congressman Conncll
Asking for the Establishment of
One In This City.
A petition has been sent to Con
gressman Wllllum Council at Wash
ington uskliiK him to make nn effort
to have u government weather station
established In this city. 11. F. Paine,
the local weather observer, Is one of
the men who wuh Instrumental In hav
ing the petition prepared. He has had
the matter under consideration for
months. At present the work that Is
being performed here In connection
with the weather service Is divided
between Dolpli 15. Atherton and Mr.
Paine. Neither of them receive any
compensation and their work Is neces
sarily Incomplete from lack of time
and proper instalments for a com
plete service.
The establishment of a weather sta
tion, says Mr. Ptilne, would bring here
an expert, trulned In the service, und
having all the required accessories for
the desired Investigations. This man
would take .'barge of the (lags, lead
all the changes Indicated by the baro
meter and thermometer, measure the
velocity of the wind und indicate its
direction, measure rain and snow falls,
give warning of any undue changes,
and,. In fact, every detail of the ser
vice would be reported upon by him.
He would make maps which would
show all these above stjted fucts, and
give the observer the exact state of
the weather In all parts of the country.
Cojiles of these maps would be placed
in the lending hotels and in nil rull
load stutlons.
The nearest weather station to us Is
In Hlnghamton, and conies on the ser
vice line from Albany to the great
lakes. We have but four stations In
this state, namely, ;it Pittsburg, Phila
delphia, Ilarrisburg nnd Erie.
The placing of a station here Is real
ly demanded by our geographical situa
tion, the topography of the surround
ing territory and the Interests which
wi ate engaged In that would be ln
lluenced by the weather changes here
or In the surrounding states. The pe
tition, signed by many of our promi
nent business and professional men, Is
addressed to Willis L. Moore, chief of
the bureau, and Congressman Council
has Dignified his Intention to place the
matter before him nnd, if possible, to
bring about the deslieil results.

stabbed by John Messett, during a row
on llallroad avenue. Michael Regan
Is In a serious condition. At "."0
o'clock Wllllnm Flchler wus shot in
the back of tho head by tin Italian on
Providence road. The wound Is serious
but Is not likely to prove fntul.
Michael's condition Is serious and he
may die. He received one wound In
the left side Just above the hip, an
other four Inches higher up, and nn
other In the leg. Martin was stabbed
In the left shoulder.
The affruy occurrel In the 200 block of
Railroad tivenue shortly after 10
o'clock. Messett, according to the ver
sion the police give, wus attacked by
the Regans without any piovocntlon.
He was bested In the fight thut en
sued and pretty bndly used up.

Roth the wounded men fell to the
sidewalk and Messett desisted. A
crowd (ltilcklv collected and while
some held Messett others curried the
Regans to their respective homes and
summoned medical attendance.
Patrolmen M. J. Walsh and John
Dtiggan soon arrived ut the scene und
took Messett Into custody. They also
summoned the Lackawanna hospital
ambulance. Michael was taken to the
hospital Ul1' -Martin, whose wound
wns not serious, was left at his home,
where Dr. Walker was caring for him.
Dr. McOrath, resident surgeon of the
hospital, who dressed the wounds, was
unable to state last night whether or
not Michael's wounds are of a fatal
nature. They are extremely danger
ous, however, he said, and particularly
the upper wound, which has possibly
penetrated the pleuru. The outward
Indications are that the knife took a
direct course Inward.
Messett was taken to the central
station houe and locked up. He is o."
years of uge, married, and a machinist
by occupation. Michael Regan is 3(5
years of age and ubout two years his

BENNIE BEVANS DIES
FROM HYDROPHOBIA
lllttcii tin the Right Thumb by a Alud Dog
on March 8.
HE SUFFERED FRIGHTFUL AGONY
Immediately Alter thu Hoy Was Hil
ton the. Wound Wus Dressed and No
Unusual Symplons Wore Olntirved
Until WediH!sdiiy--llo !row Worse
Rapidly and the nil'orts of the Phy
sicians to Relieve llim were With
out Avail.
After forty-eight hours of suffering
with Intense agony Uennle Hevan, aged
8 years, one of the boys who were
bitten on March 8 by n mad bull dog on
the West Side, died Saturday evening
of hydrophobia at the home of his pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hevan, of the
corner of Academy and Mullein street.
Death was attended with the usual
Insanity and terrible pnln characteris
tic of hydrophobia. The little fellow
had been bitten on the thumb of the
light bund on the date above mentionid
und Dr.F.C. Hall was Immediately sum
moned nnd cauterized the wound, which
heuled rapidly and to all appearances
thoroughly. After u few days at home
the boy went to school and nothing
alarming was noticed until lust Thurs
day when he became restless.
The next day he was kept at home.
A few nights before the boy had been
frightened by two men In an alley near
the Ileum home und this excited his
mind so that he could not sleep.
CONDITION CRKW WORSE.
Ills condition Friday was such that
Dr. Roberts was convinced that the boy
wus sulTetlng from hydrophobia. Dr.
Roberts prescribed for the lad und call
ing later In the day he found his pa
tient showing grave symptoms of the
dreud disease.
Saturday the presence of the disease
was unmistakable. The boy beg,an to
bark und snap and repeat ills prayers
in a pitiful way. Dr. Hall arrived at
the house and afterward Drs. Moylan.
Llndabury, Jenkins and Roberts and
a consultation was held.
For several hours the boy suffered
lind each moment seemed to be more
tetible than the preceding. He lay
upon the bed, with the physicians hold
ing his arms and legs as he struggled
to bite those near him.
The scene was an awful one and left
a vivid Impression on the minds of
those who saw it.
The boy would glare wildly about
barking, snapping and all the while
forthlng at the mouth. Only when the
mother was near did he seem to quiet
for a time, but even that in the Inter
moments did not effect him and at !)
o'clock Saturday night he died In fright
ful agony.
The absence of the dead boy's father,
who Is visiting in Wales. Is a sad fea
ture Incident to the death.
MUCH ALARM FELT.
On the West Side whole the other vic
tims reside irreat alarm revails among
the parents and near friends of the af
flicted boys. The dog was owned by
Henry Rrohatn, of 1311 Soutli Lincoln
avenue. March S the animal escaped
from the kennel and ran wild on the
West Side streets. Tt was about noon
Just as the school children were on their
way home and In Its course the dog bit
eleven boys.
None of the wounds were considered
serious, but the death of young Hevan
adds to the fear for the other boys.
The funeral of young Hevan will take
place at " o'clock tomorrow afternoon
from the home. Rev. Thomas de
Oruchy and Rev. W. S. Jones will ofll
clate. Interment will be made In Wash
burn street cemetery.

Klljah has forgotten all about God. and
how he Is lle.elng from un 'angry frown.
Then the speaker told how God came to
Flijnh, lirst In the power und fury of a
great wind, the earthquake, the great
lire and at last as the "still small
voice." It was that voice nnd the les
son it tenches which Mr. Foster taiked

Mr. Foster-Is a young man, nnd this
