BROUGHT FOKTII HEAVY SHOWERS. MIDLAND, Tex., Aug". 12.—The rain- I fall expedition sent out by the United States department of agriculture under the charge of R. U. Dyrenforth arrived at Midland last weok and on Monday scored Its first success. Last week was spent In conveying the supplies to the ranch of Nelson Morris, of Chicago, which is located 23 miles north of this plnce.^Saturday and Monday part of the apparatus was set up and a test of it was made in which a number of blasts were fired. The explosions of "raekarock" bombs caused great concussions, and were hoard and felt distinctly at a considerable distance from the field of operations. The explosives wero all fired from the ground by means of electric batteries. The trial was made primarily to test the apparatus, and was not calculated to be on a scale extensive enough to secure rain. However, in about ten hours after the explosions clouds began to form and gather over the Morris ranch and surrounding country, and about seventeen hours after the operations the rain began to full in copious quantities. The storm seemed to gather directly over the ranch and the fall of rain was heaviest at that point. The storm extended over a space of 1,000 square miles and at the lanch the ruin continued to fall for a space of six hours. About 3 inches fell at that point. This storm breaks a drought of long duration in this locality and is the best rain that lias fallen on the Morris ranch for more than a year. All the apparatus will be in position in few days when full trial will be made, which will be watched with greatest interest

The theory of producing rain by the use of explosives was taken up by exSenator Farwell, of Illinois, some time ago. His idea was to blast the upper atmosphere with charges of explosives sent up in balloons. Congress was asked for an appropriation, and finally the senator was awarded 89,000. Mr. Dyrenforth was engaged to conduct the experiments, and about August 1, with a corps of assistants, he left Washington for Texas to tost tho senator's theory. 9AVKD THE COItN.

EMPORIA, Kau Aug. 12.—Three and three-tenths inu.ies of rain fell here Tuesday morniiig in a little over an hour. A fine shower also fell in the evening previous, which gives assurance of an abundant corn crop, as the rain was general throughout the state.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 12.—This section of Nebraska has had abundance of rain and crops would not seriously suffer if not another drop fell for two weeks. The rains have been more frequent than during any summer for six years past, and they have been accompanied with cool weather. This has given weeds a great start on one hand and delayed the growth of corn on tho other. Four days of uninterruptedly hot weather has improved corn wonderfully. It is believed rain cannot further damage it.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 12.—Rain fell over most of Minnesota and portions of North Dakota Monday night. Harvesting is proceeding in all the central counties of Minnesota, and the yield will average twenty bushels to the acre. Farmers in southern Minnesota are thrashing, and the yield runs all the way from eighteen to forty-four bushels to the acre, the average being about twentytwo. Northern Minnesota farmers will not begin reaping until next week. Grain there is heavy, though damaged to some extent by blight and rust The heat has injured the color of the grain somewhat, and the grade of a great deal of it will be No. 2 Northern. A great hailstorm prevailed during the night around Springflold, Minn., but the grain was mostly in shock and suffered but little.

HOT IN THE EAST,

NEW YOUK," Aug. 12.—During the twenty-four hours ending at midnight there have been forty cases of heat prostration in this city, eleven of which have proved fatal. At 8 o'clock Tuesday morning the temperature was 79 degrees. At 10 o'clock it was 88 degrees and half an hour later tho mercury had not ci jpt any higher. The thermometer at 1 o'clock in the afternoon registered 92 degrees. Then thunder clouds loomed in tho sky and a heavy rain followed, which greatly cooled the atmosphere.

PiTTSiiuitoii, "Pa., Aug. 12.—Monday night was one of the hottest, if not the hottest of the year. At no time between 4 o'clock Monday afternoon and 0 o'clock Tuesday morning did the mercury go below the 75 notch, tho minimum being reached about 6 o'clock Monday evening. At 8 o'clock Tuesday morning the mercury in tho oificial thermometer marked 78. At 11 o'clock it had crossed the 87 notch. In the down-town districts the heat in the streets about noon was Buch us to drive people indoors, and even on the shady sides of the principal thoroughfares few people wero to be seen. While the heat Tuesday was fully as intense as it was Monday, fewer prostrations were reported. In the mills the men suffered terribly and ir. many instances had to quit in consequence. A storm visited the city about 8:80 p. m., wliioh had the effect of cooling the atmosphere.

RESIGNED UNDER FIRE.

Sir Hector LutigcWi. the Ctttmitittn Minister of I'uhlic Works ^jultx IIis Otltcc. OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. l-J.—Sir Hector Lanyevin, minister of public works iu the dominion government, has resigned. Wholesale corruption has recently been unearthed in his department.

The resignation of Minister Langevin is undoubtedly due to the persistent charges of favoritism in the letting of public works contracts. These rumors place the minister's son among the beneficiaries of the frauds. Sir Hector will seek vindication. .The announcement of Sir Hector Langevin's resignation from the cabinet produced a profound sensation in all political circles, as it was totally unexpected Sir Hector appeared before the committee on privileges and elections, and read a long and carefully prepared statement in which he denied emphatically, all charges preferred against him, and asserted his entire in* nocencc. [Sir Hcctor lius been prominent In Canadian affairs for more than forty years, and until a Short time prior lo tho death of Sir .luhn Mac donald be was regarded as the most probablo successor to the premiership. After having been admitted to the bar he edited several journals printed In the French lan^ua^'O, and identified himself with the Catholic party. Ills llrst ollU eial position was that of mayor of Quebec, to which ho was elected In 1858. Later he entered the provisional legislature and in 1874 was ol?cted to tho Dominion parliament. Sub* sequeutly he became a member of the executive council and at different times held the ofllce of solicitor general, post master general, secretary of stato for Canadu and minister of public woriis. lie has also executed various important missions for tho dominion government, iu recognition of whiob several decorations were bestowed upon him by the queen.]

WHEATTAKESALEAP

An Exciting Day on the Chicago Board of Trade.

THE BEARS ARE ROUGHLY HANDLED.

A Ilwtvy Advance In Vrlocn—One Speculator Said to Have I.oat •.*00,000— .••••• OI her* Are Squeezed for .Smaller Amountn.

CAUSK OK TIIK HISE.

CniCAfio, Aug. 12.—Millions of dollars was counted out as profit when Tuesday's session of the board of trade closed ami December wheat had bobbed up from 91,^ to 95 cents. Toward this handsome sum E. Pardridge is credited with contributing S500,000, ut least Mr. Pardridge says §100,000, and brokers were found who placed the figure above the SI,000,000 mark. Mr. Pardridge said that he had been heavily short and that calls had been made so persistently just at the close of the flay that he ran out of ready cash, and while he came out of the skirmish S400.000 short he still felt in a condition to meet any demand that could be made 011 him and that there were no balances In the clearing house against him.

N. IJ. Ream attempted to stem the tide by selling short on every dip of the market, but when half the day was over he gave up the battle and frantically bought to cover. Just how much he is a loser is not knovMi, but as he lius been a persistent bear during the present movement his shortage is supposed to be heavy. He is not alone as the bear side was popular, and the squeeze that came in the calls.is expected to be fatal to many of the smaller fry.

J. H. Walker, of Walker & Co., commission merchants, said: "All the heavy buyers are short in wheat. Among them is Pardridge, who had about half covered Ms shortage. He was about 4,000,000 bushels short when the market closed. But he was not alone in it, for there was a number of firms in the same boat

The day was one of the wildest known 011 the board of trade since "Old Hutch" used to ,-nanipulato the wheat, and indeed, though absent in body he was alleged to have been there in spirit, for he is said to have Had a hand in the deal and that it was he who started the calls on the bears, although in New York.

True to their teachings, the bulls opened for operations early and proceeded to treat the bears to a dose of their own medicine by instituting a squeeze that broke their record in any previous attempt From the- opening the pace was fast and, starting off lively at 91 cents for December wheat, prices fluctuated back and forth, with* an upward tendency until the closing, when 95 cents was recorded and prices were firm, with cash wheat closing in the same notch.

Farmers have a hand in this raise, according to the theory of several of the older heads of the board of trade, and they look upon tho alliance order directing their members to hold to their wheat as similar to the granger movement in 1872, when Jay Cooke failed and the panic of 1873 followed The actual wheat was not to be had.

KANSAS CITY, Ma, Aug. 12.—A dispatch from Topeka, Kan., says: Frank McCiratli, president of tho Farmers' Alliance, has returned from a trip through the state. He says there Is a large amount of wheat being held by •Jie farmers with the expectation that the prices will materially advance. The lecturers of the state alliance are all advising this and farmers are now kept as thoroughly posted on the markets as the shrewdest speculators. President McGrath believes that the farmers that hold their wheat will profit largely by it and he says that they understand this and will not sell a bushel more than is absolutely necessary to supply immediate wants.

TOOK THE BANK'S CASH.

All Omaha Bookkeeper Said to Have Fled with *3.000 In Gold. OMAHA, Neb.,.Aug. 12.—The sum of S3,000 in gold was stolen from the Merchants' national bank a short time ago and the thief has not yet been apprepended or definitely located and the manner of the theft Is still a mystery. About two weeks ago the cashier in balancing and comparing the accounts at the close of a day's business found a shortage of {?.'!, 000. Examination showed that a cloth coin bag which had contained just that amount was missing. Suspicion pointed to Paul B. Tate, a bookkeeper, who had been working for the bank for a short time, but the officers hesitated about charging hiin with the theft Young Tate shortly afterwards left and his whereabouts are unknown.

Two Hundred and Sixty 1,1 ve* Lout. SAN FHAKCISCO, Aug. 12.—Advices from Yokohama give particulars of the sinking of the steamer Tamaye Maru and the drowning of 200 passengers. The Tamaye Maru and another steamer, thcMiyoshi Maru, were racing when the latter steered across the Tamaye'a courso and the vessels collided. The Tamaye Maru sunk immediately, and only about sixty people who were on the deck were rescued.

ATCHISON, Ivan., Aug. 12. —The Peoples' savings bank which failed last winter will probably pay its depositors dollar for dollar, the good crops this year having increased the value of many real estate mortgages upon which money can be realized. The bank has already paid depositors 40 per cent, and a dividend of 20 per cent, has been announced.

Meant Prohibition for Georgia. ATLANTA, Ua., Aug. 12.—Gov. Northend has signed the bill to prohibit the sale of liquor within miles of any church or school except in incorporated cities. This means prohibition in Georgia, as either M-.hools or churches exist al most every li miles, and where they do vut exist cheap structures will be erected at once.

CAMiminoK, Mass., Aug. 12.—James Russell Lowell, the great American poet and diplomat, died at 2:10 o'clock a. xn. [Mr. Lowell was born February 29, 1S1J, at Elinwood, near Cambridge.

JAMES n. LOWKM* tho author had so nearly at heart—also "Tho Vision or Sir Luunfal," a poem founded on the "Quest of the Holy Grail," "A Fable for Critics," a poetical satire aunonymously published, and, greatest of ull, that book of world wide renown, "The Btglow Papers," by which the author's fame was at once established.

In 1855 Mr. Lowell succeeded Longfellow as professor of modern luugunges and bellesIstt res In Harvard collcire. The degree of D. C. L. was conferred upon him In 1873 by the English university of Oxford, and that of LL. D. by Cambridge in 1871. Tbo latter degree he received also from St. Andrew's, Edinburgh, Hnrvard and Halognn. From 1857 to 1863 he was editor of the Atlantic Monthly, and ho had previously been connected with the Pioneer, a magazine of high character, the AutiSlavery Standard. Putnam's Monthly, and from 1W4 to 18G4 was editor of the North American Review. He had also been a lecturer before the Lowell institute in IJoston on the British poets.
