At the recent election in Rome, ieor- gia, at which the cause of prohibition tri umphed, a large number of women were at the prills from their opening until their close. They established lunch tent and furnished refresh menu-to the prohibition workers and voters, and urged everybody to vote their ticket Young men were la bored with, and coaxed and threatened bv their sweethearts, and so potent were the persuasions of rosy lips and fhishing eyes that the laities and the teniienince cause won by a decided majority. V I As will lie seen t.v n-ference to several artii-U in other parts of this pajH-r, there - is a strong proliability of work Iieing re snuied on the South Pennsylvania rail niad ami of its final completion at an ear ly day. This is certainly good news for the people of this, and of adja-ent coun ties, and it is received w ith many mani-f.-stat ions of pleasure.

The friends of Mr. Illaine in Ohio are luinga very indiscrete thing in making jm'u warfare on Si nator Sherman. If they draw the Republicans of that State into a quarrel over the candidacy of those two gentlemen it must eventuate detri mentally to the interostsof Ixith of them. The Republican party can and will do gallant battle under the leadership of either, lint if it hopes for suci-ess, the forces must lie united and harmonious, without acrimony, and w ith no running son-s to Ik- healed after the battle is set and the banner unfurled. Mr. Sherman is und.iubte.lly the choice of the majori ty of the Republicans of liio, as is Mr. iilaine that of a majority in Maine. To set up a candidate in Maine in opjiosition to Mr. I'daine would lie considered the heighth of unuisdom, and we we not. w hy the name rule should not apply to Mr. Sherman and Ohio. Both gentlemen have jiersonal enemies in their resjicctive Stilt., but lxith are by long odds, the fa vorite of a large majority of the Republi cans iu them, and it would unquestiona bly Is? bail policy to foment strife among their rospective followers. In accordance with an almost unbroken precedent the votes cf these states should lie conceded to their rcsjiective favoriu-H, until it is shown by actual test that either nomina tion is iiiijxissihle. We can n-call no case w here a State with a divided delegation ever su.x3eed.xi in securing the nomina tion of its home candidate. Mr. Rlaiue it it.

The hot weather of Sat unlay was intensified to-day, and there was much suffering throughout the city. At 7 this morning the mercury had reached Mil decrees, and at 11 it was at 100. The maxi mum 102. and the hottt weather ex pericn ced In Chicago in years, was reached by I o'clock and the temjieraturen'mained nearly stationary until 5 o'clock. The street cars going to the various lurks were jammed nil day, while on the lake every excursion steamer, tug and sail boat which could be chartcrul was luaded down with niasiws -of people seeking some relief from the intoler able heat,. The winds came front thn wl oven the vir. he.1 prairf.-s and was like a blast from a furnace. At 5 o'clock, however, a mass of clouds gathered in the w.-sl and soon a furious sipiall swept down toward the lake, bringing with it a heavy rain, which lasted half an hour laving tlie clouds of blinding dust, and having behind it a fresh and delightful cool atmosphere. Many of the boats on the lake bad a hard time beating back to the shore against the wind aud wave, aud many excursion ista were thor oughly drenched by large waves which were swept over their vessels, but so far as is known there were no casualties. From the time of the storm the tempera ture began falling rapidly, and at 9 o'clock to-night had n-ached 7!) degrees with a pros- tiect of going even lower. The numls?r of prostrations from the hU was not an large as yestenlay, there being very few laborers at work, hut up to 10 o clock to-night tlie reeonls of the police dciiartineiit show that not less than forty-five persons were stricken down to-day. Of this nuuita-r cighlcen have alnrady died and probably more will die before morning. Saturday s list was apialling. Tiie total number of cases cared for bv the tsilice is over b, and of this number 3o have n-sult ed fatally. The indite think that a number of cases were caml for privately, both yes terday and to-day, and say that the mortali ty numl, when finally coinplettd from physicians' ecniticaies. will make a showing of deaths from insolation unprecedented ill this city. Such a d.-gree of heat has not been experienced in Chicago, according to all authorities, iu nearly 30 years. At Ft. Wayne, 1ml., the day was the hot test known for years, the mercury reaching lo2 in the sha.lv. A number of prostrations are n-iorted two of which have resulted fa tally. AtlUx kfbrd, 111., the temperature reached 104. No prostrations are reported. At 11 o'clock to-night the latest returns show that )-' persons have died either in or on the way to tlie various hospitals iu the city since Satunlay morning. These deaths were all the direct result of sunstroke or heat pnistnitiou. A number of the patients in the hospitals are in a state of comatose to-night, and the physicians consider theireases hojieless. At the county hospital the physicians and nurs es have been working almost unceasingly for 3i hours. The crash far exceeds that fol lowing the Hay market riot. CBOWlllSli TIIK RECORII.

The hot spell set in shortly after sunrise, and at nis.n the hot air was wafted through the city by a southwest ern breeze, which though quite strong, brought only heated air.

The '" niw'of a swonlti!.h tour feci long, driven through six teen inches of stout Norwegian ne and pen etrating ten inches into the cargo of a sugar laden bark, was one of the nautical curiosi ties presented to a wondering timing of sail ors awl landsmen at t he wharves of the K. C. Knight su.ir refinery yest.Tday. Ths ves sel through , - hull i,f which the sea mou 'ster's weapon had p net rated is the Bark Or flen, which came to this Jiort from Santos, Brazil, by way of the Barbadoes. While her cargo of sugar was beimr, uulnaile.1, a long black ol.j.vt, like the iinl of n enormous bayonet, was discovered thrust ten inches in to one of the hogsheads of sugar, so firmly imbedding it that uw iliUi.ailty was found in getting the hogshead free from tlie vessel's bottom. The end of tlie jwi.rd jooked likea large marline sjiike and all attempts to dis lodge it were vain. A close examination, however, proved that the object was the 'swonl " of a swonlfish which had been driv en through the planking of tl e bark's hull. The point of the "swonU' which projected into the vessel's hold was as hard as flint The only weapon which made any impres sion on it was an axe, with which the end was finally broken off and taken on deck. The fish must lutve struck the vessel near the region of the equatorial calm. The mate says that while the hark was moving along very slowly, with scanely a ripple disturb ing the surface of the ocean, one cairn day in May, a terrible shock was felt which almost threw the vessel aback and hurled some of the crew off their fit. The incident cause. 1 considerable excitement on board, and it was feared that a hidden nick had been struck until the captain looked over the starboard quarter, whence the shock apieared to have come, and saw an enormous fish just disap-Is-.iring beneath the waves.

Hoffstot were aps.iiitiil a committee to look into the matter of a settlement and they will report at a meeting of the creditors to be called by the assignee as soon as the ap praisers have r."st"ted to them. A mendier of the firm said : " Undue anx iety upon the part of a couple of small credi tors to secure the amounts due them, with out regard to how their fellow-creditors should fare, make it ntwssary for us to make an assignment pending the readjustment of our affairs. The depression of our branch of the iron trrde and the limited cajiacity of our mill were the original causiss of our trouble. Then just xs we had completed the new mill the present strike began. All these things have cotitrihiit.il to the result. The direct cause is the pressure for payment of some of our debts at a time when we could not real on our assets, a large sirt of them consist ing of real estate." We All Have Our Day."

She refus ed to give her name, but promised to return to her home at the lower bridge, whither she was sent. Larger than Last Year Ciricvoo. July 13. A special from Minne apolis says : Stocks in wheat are running down very fast, the total decrease at Mimie ttiMilis, St. Paul, and Diiluth last week being 720.1am buslrels. It looks now as though tiM-re would be nothing left there when the new crop begins to move. The rapid de crease in stocks, however, has not had any nialeriul effect on prices here, and in addition to this the air has been thick with rumors ol crop damage from all quarters. The truth is aUmt this crop scare that while there has lieen some danger and quite a bit of damage to wheat by chinch bugs in the southern counties, list damage as it af fects the crop of the State Is insignificant. The affected districts hare suffered more or less from drought and insects for two years past, and the injury is not wi.fespresd. The general condition of the wheat crop in Minne sota and Dakota was never better than now and unless some unexpected disaster over takes it tlie total yield will be even larger tlian that of last year, which was a phenom enal crop.

When the rejsirt of the Secretary of flic Treasury is made next December it will show increased receipts from custom and internal revenue for the fiscal year that close 1 on June 30. The col lectors of internal revenue have in many instances forw-.mled their annual statements to the Commissioner, who says that the in crease iu the amount oT receipts will aggre gate about &.00n.O-.i0. There has been a general increase all along the line, and for the first time oleomargarine figures in the interual revenue collections. Commissioner Miller, in speaking of the incrased collections, says the S2.oi",!.iu addi tional collected last year is probably the result of the Oleomargarine act and the enor mous increase tu the hecr-maKing business. Bottled beer, he says, is now more generally nsed than ever before. esiHcia!ly in small country towns, where it was almost tin bean of a few years ago. While the manu facture of beer has steadily inenxsed there has been a gradual faying off in the qtiaiuity of whiskey distilled. The Commissioner, who has calculated the profit derived from the manufacture uf beer, says that the brew er realizes alsiut loo per cent, on every bar rel he sells, while the retail dealer realize alsiut 2110 r cent.

At 1:1.5 this morn ing tlie town of Fairmont, ten miles south of here, was startled by a terrific explosion. The entire population turned out on the street and seemed to know just wliere to lo cate the disaster.
