A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Tvo Women Said to Have I'laccd
Something Resembling Body of
nn Infant n River.
A very mvsterlous case which has
on the suiface every Indication of in
fanticide, or at least an attempt to
conceal an Infanticide, wns brought
to the notice of and investigated by
County Detective Lev slum yesterday
afternoon.
The story as told Mr. Ieshon by
Gertie Ash nnd Jessie Watt, two young
girls who witnessed the affair, Is given
below
They were sitting on a bank over
looking the Lnckawanna river near
Rendhnm when they saw three women,
one old, and the other two young,
approach from the east bank. The
spot is always deserted In tho day
time and the girls could not be seen.
The women were nil bare-footed and
they waded out into the middle of
the stream. One of the ounger ones
uru oiled a shavv 1 w hich she w as carry
ing and took out a parcel and placed
It in the wnter. One of the girls
who was watching positively nver.s
that she heaid a slight cry as of an In
fant. The women then vvnded down
the stream n short way and got out
on the opposite bank, making off in the
dhectlon of Mlnonka. ,
The action of the women was also
untched by several young men and
one of these notified II, V. Hnrtman,
nf Jackson street, this cltv, who In
tutn notified Detective Loyshon.
Strange to saw no one enteied the
water In search of what the women
had placed there When Mr Lcyshon
arrived on the scene the river was
thoroughly gone over for a distance of
1T.0 feet on both sides of the spot
pointed out by the witnesses, but noth
ing could be found The water nt
this point averages only nlnnit two feet
In depth and as tho current Is not
swift, Mr. Leyshon Is very much m.v
stltled as to how tho paicel could Iloat
vei far away.
A more thin ouch search will be made
this morning, but It will probably be
unsuccessful, as the rain of last night
swelled the stienm eonsldeiably. The
county detective is fit mly convinced
that there Is something criminal be
hind the affair and Is making great
effoits to run the matter down.
All of the witnesses say that they
could lecognize the women again anil
nil ngree that they weie sliangeis In

FIERCE HEAT,
WIND AND RAIN
THEY WERE THE FEATURES OF
YESTERDAY'S WEATHER.
Until Evening tho Heat Was Almost
Unheal able and Then Camo a
Wind Storm That Tote Up the Dust
and relied Trees with Oreat Gusts.
It Was Succeeded by a Heavy
Downpour otf Rain Some of the
Damage Done by the Stoim.
"Picttv hot. Isn't If"
"Oh. no. I'm not warm. I'm de

way, next time Just vary that a little,

warm or Infernally humid, but foi good

phrase again," with which exceedingly
scintillating and brilliant tetort the
short, stout man waddled down Wash
ington avenue mopping his brow with
a red bandanna nnd making tor tho
nearest shilne of llaccnus that lie
might slake that unquenchable thast
with a glass of foaming "I" ported "
Hut the lean, lank Individual who
had uttered the first remaik wns right.
It was prett hot. It was very hot
and ever.v man, woman nnd child in
the city knew it and felt It
People walking the streets had the
usual woe-hegono expressions on their
fnces that betoken that "tired feeling,"
which Is, as the physicians say, super
induced by the bent. Uven the inc
presilblo small boy was not much in
evident e on the streets and that may
be taken as a sure indication that the
weather was hot, even If there were no
thermometers.
DID A CnHAT IJUKINHSS.
The drug stores with sodn fountains
the Ice cream parlors and the saloons
were probably the only places of busi
ness In town doing nny business nt
nil. The former were crowded all day
and the gentle slz-slz of the gushing
soda us It fell on the ears of the
passersby caused mnyy a man whose
acquaintance with soda water was lim
ited to n few years in early childhood
to rush frantlcallj In and call out In
n desperate tone' "Give me nn orange
cocktail I mean an orange phosphate,
and give it to mo quick."
The sun rose on schedule time in the
morning and got right down to busi
ness from the time of his arising nnd
soon the mercury In the thermometer
began an earnest effort to force Itself
out of the top of the tubes. The gen
eral average tempeiatuie for the whole
day at Phelps' drug store was fll de
grees In the shade. It was sometimes
considerably higher here, but main
tained that geneial record At tho cor
ner of Linden street nnd Washington
avenue the thermometer In ftont of
Lorenz & Koemple's store registered
09 In the shade at 3 p m.
A largo crowd gathered about the
glass tube in front of J. D. Williams
& Company about noon, where the ie
glstiy was 120 degiees in the sun. This
Is about a record breaker In the line
of sun recoids In this city and cnused
a number of pcisoni to look around
nnd pinch themselves to make sure
that they had not been transpoitetl
in some unknown mnnner to the cen
tial portion of the great Sahara deceit
or some other tropical summer resort.
fdlt hy Tirn hoiuh;.
The heat was especially felt bj the
poor hoises who were forced to be out
and at work despite the condition of
the weather. The lack of sufficient
wateilng troughs for these poor beasts
of buiden In the central city was again
In evidence and many expressions of
sympathy for the horses were heaid on
the streets.
Considering the intenseness of tho
humidity there were very few heat
piostratlons. A little glil from Provi
dence whose name could not be learn
ed fainted In front of the Traders
National bank about 4 o'clock. She
was quickly revived, however, and
started for home
The short, stout man and his friend
met again at the same place about (1

himself being taken off his feet, and,
with a wild, convulsive shriek, lie dis
appeared in n whit ling cloud of dust,
while his friend dashed madlv up tho
steps and into the postofIlci, while be
hind him a tot undo on a small scale got
down to vvoik
The cause of the sudden sepaiatlon
of the two friends was a letnalkably
severe wind stoim which came as it
foierunner to a lemaikably severe lain
