CAPIIALJtN A HAZE.
Je;e orological Sharps Try to Give an I
* " Explanation.
Washington, Sent. 2.—The peculiar ha/e
ifcat has been noticeable in the s£y all
,ver the country lor the last week or so.
•••a inafter of great interest to
meteorologists, and many experiments
bare been sroing on in different observa
tories of the country to determine its
- jse and nature. The weather bureau
•fh ials. whose reitorts from the weather
eonditions are daily read throughout tho
pnitefi States, have beeu making obser
vations of this phenomenon, and the opin- j
tons of two professors of meteorology
were given to a reporter of the United
press
prof. Henry A. Hazen said: --This is
w ngt may be called the Indiam summer
j r , hate. Just vvliat is the cause of it, is
a ‘little difficult to determinie. Similar
jonJitions have been noticed in the past,
notably on the "dark days’’ in 1871. which
due to a dense condition of the atmos
phere. probably caused by smoke. Jn
fsuL there was another "dark day.”
mown as a "yellow day." which extended
from New England to Virginia on the
Atlantic coast. In IX7I the smoke was so
dense that many thought the "day of
judgment” had come. In 1881 the gas
was lighted in the streets of Boston at
midday. While it was not so dark here
ic Washington, still the haze was very
dense. The murky atmosphere that has
been noted west of the Mississippi river
is of a very different character from that
to ibc eastward, as that is much lighter, j
It is probably caused every year
by a settlement of dust or smoke
particles. The air is generally !
quiet, and there are no conditions which
would precipitate the particles causing
baze or carry them to other regions. The
conditions east of the Mississippi river are
unquestionably due to forest fires, just as in
1871 and 1881. The fires this year, however,
have been much more serious than com
mon, owing to the drought that has ex
isted. Tho atmosphere has beeu very
dry and extends to enormous higbts.
This smoke is not dense in any one place,
but when you get a glimpse through a
great thickness, it appears quite so.”
Prof. Cleveland Abbe of the weather
bureau, who has made a special research
Into this smoko phenomenon, said: "I be
gun to-day a collection of all the data the
weather bureau has relative to the speed
of the haze which now covers the greater
part of the United States. Early in July
I began to receive reports of forest fires
and iarge areas of smoke in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Since
then reports have come from lower Michi
gan, New York and Pennsylvania. There
is every reason to believe that all of the
smoky baze which now covers the country
is the result of the diffusion of the smoke
of burning forest fires and crops. A com
paratively little fire will make a large
quantity of smoke, unless it is widely
diffused by strong winds, in which case
the smoke becomes like the thin haze of
the Indian summer. But it so happens
in this present season the United States
has experienced rather high temperature
and light variable winds, 90 that the
smoky haze has not been carried away
to a great distance. It has, therefore, at
the present time an average density
greater than usual. It will doubtless all
be cleared away by the action of the first
general storm that sweeps over the
country.
“This smoke from forest and prairie
fires is diffused perceptibly to greater dis
tances than many people would imagine
possible.”
VERMONT HAS IT, TOO.
Bellows Falls, Vt„ Sept. 2.—Thecurious
condition of the atmosphere in this vi
cinity caused much speculation regarding
the cause. Some consider it similar to
the "dark day” of 1883. Although the
sun shone all day, it has not cast any
shadow It has been so dark that lights
were necessary in many churches and
dwellings. The sun was very red and
looked like a hall of fire all day. Reports
from Rutland, Windsor and many other
places in the vicinity state' the same con
ditions existed there. It may have been
caused by smoke from the forest fires,
but it seemed too yellow for that. It has
caused an uncanny feeling, and in some
instances real fear and excitement.
HARK ALL, OVER NEW ENGLAND.
Boston, Sept. 2.—A peculiar atmospheri
cal phenomenon has to-day attracted the
attention of Bostonians. During the latter
part of the morning and all the afternoon,
the sun, unobscured by clouds, has feebly
shown through a stratum of smoke sup
posed to come from the forest fires now
raging in the lake region.
The effect has been a wierd, unhealthy
tinge to the atmosphere, made oppressive
by the general aosence of stirring air.
Ihe day has been a repetition, although
in a lesser wav, of the famous "yellow
Tuesday" of 1881. Reports of a similar
phenomenon have been received-from cities
and towns all over New England.
DEATH AT A PLAY.
Amateurs Inflict Fatal Wounds Dur
ing a Performance.
Sedalia, Mo., Sept. 2.—At Lee’s Sum
mit last night an amateur theatrical com
pany, composed of young society people,
was presenting the play, “The Postal
Clerk,” at the opera house. In the play
it becomes necessary to use a pistol. In
the dressing room of William Gibbs were
two pistols, one loaded with blank cart
ridges and the other with bullets. Dur
ing the act Gibbs fired at J. P. Lather
man, an operator for the Missouri Pacific
railway, who was playing an important
part. The audience was horrified to see
Uatherman fall to the fioor with a stream
of blood spurting from a ghastly wound
over his left eye. Ho cannot recover.
Gibbs is almost crazed with grief, as the
men were warm personal friends.
TROUBLES IN SICILY.

London, Sept." 2. —A despatch from
Home to the Times says that affairs
in Sicily have again assumed
a grave aspect. Agrarian crimes
are frequent and the ill feel
ing of the peasantry against
the land owners, which was dormant dur

landlord and tenants, and also to improve
the condition of the sulphur miners on
the island.

Saginaw, Capt. Rockwell which arrived
from Azua, San Domingo, to-night, brings :
news of a disturbance in Hayti. Presi
dent Hippoiyte is said to bo mortally ill.
and when he dies it is thought that a
very uncertain siate of affairs will pre

the possibilities.
WATCHED BT WARSHIPS.
Nassau. N. P., Sept. 2.-The steam
yacht Puzzle of New York was watched
while at Fortune island by three Haytian
war vessls, who gave her a great deal of
trouble, and who waited to capture her
on her leaving that British port. The ad
miral demanded of the resident authori
ties that they should search the vessel,
believing that she had on board arms and
ammunition destined for Haytian insur
gents. A search revealed nothing sus- 1
picious. The Puzzle slipped away on tho
night of the 27th. and was chased by the
Haytian vessels toward Nassau, within
thirty miles, but she eluded pursuit and
arrived here Aug. 28.
POTTERS WILL STRIKE.
Operatives Decline to Accept a Fur
ther Reduction.
Trenton, N. J., Sept. 2.- —The operative
potters of this city have voted not to ac
cept any further cut in their wages. This
decision was reached on account of the
evident present intention of manufactur
ers to ask the men to submit to another
reduction on account of Senator Smith's
failure to get the crockery schedule in the
new tariff bill raised after the manufac
turers and workmen signed the receut
agreement on a basis of a 12- , per cent,
cut. The men are working, but the man
ufacturers have oeid informal conferen
ces with them, indicating that a further
cut is necessary. The manufacturers
have made no definite proposal, but it is
likely that they will, do so. This will
probably result in a renewal of the strike.
Some of the manufacturers think
there should be a further cut of 171,; per
cent., but others will not ask more ‘than
7} o per cent.

HE CAN STAND IT.
Mr. Turner Is Abundantly Able to
Meet and Defeat His Critics.
From the Atlanta Journal.
If Hon. Henry G. Turner should, by
chance, read the Atlanta Constitution of
the past two days, he will discover that
he has proven false to democratic prin
ciples aud has been called to repentance
by that distinguished authority on the
true democracy.
The Constitution worries and frets and
tosses over the speech of Mr. Turner at
Decatur last Tuesday. As Mr. Turner
intends to make substantially the same
speech all over Georgia there is a large
stock of trouble in store for our nervous
aud muchly rattled neighbor. There are
excellent reasons why Mr. Turner should
make this speech wherever he goes. The
best reason is that it is a democratic
speech. It is a vindication of the na
tional and state democratic platforms on
tiie currency question.
In a masterly manner Mr. Turner
shows why these platforms should have
demanded an honest currency, how they
have done so and how fatal to the suc
cess of the party and the interests of the
country any other policy would be.
Another reason is that Mr. Turner has
the ability to interpret the democratic
platform almost, if not quito, as well as
the very able and very numerous editors
of the Constitution, and there is a popu
lar belief that he expresses his honest
co" vi, tions.
ll.s giving offence to the Constitution
has certainly caused pain in that quarter,
but we hardly think it will be considered
an unpardonable sin by the democracy of
Georg.a. It must bo remembered that,
as exponents and representatives of
democratic faith both Mr. Turner aud the
Constitution have records, and Mr. Tur
ner can afford to stand the comparison, or
rather, the contrast.
When Ocalaism seemed omnipotent in
his district Mr. Turner gave it its death
blow. No mau in Georgia ha3 combatted
the heresies of populism more fearlessly
or more ably than he. and he is now dem
onstrating the folly and danger of
tho populist silver doctrine, which is
identical with that of the Constitution.
Therefore, we do not wonder that our
neighOor is worried. It even appeals to
the state democratic committee to call
Mr. Turner off the stump. It would,
doubtless, be a great relief to the Consti
tution to have Mr. Turner silenced, but
Just how that is to be done we cannot
imagine. Bo far as we know and believe,
Mr. Turner will continue his campaign
for honest money and the true construc
tion of the democratic platform, in snite
of the Constitution's efforts to have him
called off.
One of the most peculiar natural history
discoveries ever made was a recent one in
New Zealand. A farmer was plowing a Held

istence of several springs made a l og. his
plow unoarthed a deposit of peat In whfih he
found a number of tightly packed hones of

by some cataclysm. Everything pointed to
the fact that these birds had perished simul

most plausible Is that they were overcome by
a sand storm which covered them. What
makes the discovery the more puzzling i the
fact that similar beds of moa hones have beeu
found in other oaris of New Zealund.

CARLETON WILL HANG.
Story ot a Mixed Relationship That
Reads Stranger Than Fiction.
August Gothman Marries His Own
Daughter, but She Loves Young and
Charlie Carieton She
Elopes With and is Married to the
Latter- When Gothman Lays Claims
to Her and Tells His Story Carieton
Kills Him, and Will Hang for His
Act.
From the Chicago Times.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 22. The final
chapter in a tragedy involving some re
markable features will be concluded in
Dodge county, Nebraska, next month.
when. Charles Carieton, the wealthy son
of one of the wealthiest farmers of the
locality, will die on the scaffold for the
murder of August Gothman. committed
last year. The affair reads like a romar.co
in some respects and like a horrid night
mare in others.
Charles Carieton is a young man, never
regarded iu his neighborhood ns particu
larly bad, but terribly spoiled. What ho
wanted he wanted, and that was all there
was about it, and in bis neighborhood he
had been pretty well humored. Last
spring a man giving his name as August
Gothman, en route to Omaha in a mov
er's outfit, asked permission to remain
with his three children over night at the
Carieton homestead. Gothman explained
that he had been unfortunate as a
farmer in Western Nebraska and was
changing location with his little family.
He had two boys about 10 years old and a
girl not more than If or IS, but well
matured and particul..rly favored as to
good looks. She was be vitching in every
sense of the word, and appeared to be
aware of the fact to a marked degree.
The two boys addressed her as sister and
the old man she referred to as father,
lie appeared old enough to be her grand
father. The family arrived on Saturday
and concluded to remain over Sunday
with the Carlctons. Young Charley
Carieton at once became infatuated with
Gothman’s alleged daughter, and she
appeared equally satisfied with Carie
ton. It was remarked at the time
that the old man did not appear at
all pleased with the combination and
manifested bis displeasure by declaring
that he proposed to take the entire family
to Omaha early Monday morning. Mon
day morning his supposed daughter and
young Carieton were missing. Old man
Gothman swore he would recover his
child if it required all summer. When
told that he might rest assured that the
young couple had run away to get married
he was furious. Neighbors were quick to
remark that a beggar ought to be pleased
with the idea of his child marrying into
so good a family as the Carletons. Old
Gothman started to Omaha, but said he
would return.
GOTHMAN TELI.S HIS STORY AND IS KILLED.
That night Carieton and the girl re
turned to the Carieton farm man and
wife. Tho next day old Gothman sud
denly appeared at the Carieton home and
demanded the girl. He was told that she
was now independent of him, since she
was married. He replied: "Well, she is
my wife as well as my child, and I want
her.” The old man was regarded as a
lunatic, but developments indicated that
he was telling the truth to a large de
gree. The girl began to cry. and when
the young husband vlemandeu an explana
tion, she admitted that she was married
to Gothman. When asked to explain how
sho could be his daughter and also
his wife, she merely increased her
sobs. Gothman thought to clinch the
matter by producing his certificate
of marriage to his daughter. This was
more than young Carieton could bear.
He rushed on the old man and with a
hammer beat out his brains. No one but
the young girl witnessed the bloody deed.
The murderer first concealed the body
with the intention of burying it secretly.
Then he lost his nerve and told a neigh
bor that ho had been attacked by a tramp
and killed him in self-defense. The
neighbor advised him to surrender to tho
authorities This he did, and the tramp
story was in a fair way to blind justice
wheu the two boys who had been left
in Omaha when their father
went back to look for their sister
became tired of waiting and in
looking for their father returned to
tho Carieton home and found their sister.
Then tfie secret came out through tho
children. They declared the giri was
their sister. They also knew their father
was married to her; at least they under
stood that to be so, as their father had
frequently declared and his certificate of
marriage indicated. In the trial of Car
ieton it developed as a fact that Gothman
and the girl were married according to
all forms of law. As to their relation of
father and child the testimony was rather
vague and was never determined.
CAItLETO.N’s CONVICTION AND PECULIAR
ESCAPE.
At the trial the jury cor.victed Carle
ton on circumstantial evidence and he
was sentenced to be hanged. All the
wealth and influence of nis father was
unable to save his neck. Then tho
young wife is said to have interested her
seli in assisting him to escape. She ap
peared to be quite successful, it was
*said by those with whom she came in
contact that she could do what she
pleased with all her acquaintances. Be
that as it may, Carieton suddenly dis
appeared from a steel cell shortly Before
the death sentence was to have been
executed. The mystery of his disap
pearance was rendered doubly mysteri
ous front tho fact that the death watch
was in the next ceil to the condemned
murderer and could not explain
the affair. No force was used, yet the
steel door had yielded. Carieton had
disappeared as completely as if the
earth had swallowed him up, but if his
wife was the good angel that assisted
him from the felon's cell, she was also
the siren that lured him back to an
ignominious death. He had got safely out
of the country, but could not resist the
temptation to return and visit his young
wife. As she was being watched by the
officers in anticipation of her attempting
to roach him he was easily captured, the
officers appearin g just as the i ouple first
met after the enforced separation.
His case has again been appealed, but
unless the law does interfere or Carle
ton’s pretty young wife effects his escape
in the mysterious manner with which
shu is accused of executing the commis
sion before. August Gothman’* slayer will
hung the second Friday iu September.
BldD SUPERSTITIONS.
Characteristic Tales of the Negro
and the Mocking Bird.
Maurice Thompson, in the Independent.
In my early boyhoood, I saw old negro
doctors or charm-workers pretend to do
wonders with the aidpf what they called
a charm-string. A bird’s head nearly
always filled a conspicuous place in the
maku-up of this string, the kingfisher’s
and the woodpecker's btdug oftenest
used ; 1 remember seciugone with the flam
ing scaip of a log-cock at one end aud at
the other the dried bead of a rattle
snake, while between tbe two extremes
various birds’ heads and snakes' heads
alternated. In the "Cracker" cabins one
may now and again see a dead spurrow
hawk or klugfisher or flicker suspended
from tho ceiling or from a rafter by a
string fastened to its back, its wings out
spread and its mouth open Tho Crack
ers believe that the bird’s beak will
point in the direction of the wind the fol
lowing day. Clearly this is a very old
superstition, and the mountaineers have
it as well as tlip Crackers.
Some characteristic superstitions of the
southern negroes had a mocking bird
singing through them. I made a short
voyage on a corn boat many years ago.
It was down the Coosawattee we went
sailing. The boatmen were stalwart
slaves, happy, songful and good story tel
lers in their way. The mocking birds
twittered and fluted all night in the
thickets along the river banks, and tho
jet black captain smoked and babbled.
From him I got tho following, which I
now set in his own phraseology as nearly
as I can:
"Y’ab. de mockin' bird sing w en de
moon shine bright; but yo'ain't got no
business tryin’ ter ketch’m at it; he not
gwine let yo' see’m den w’ile he ’ten’ ter
he business.”
I cross examined the captain and
found out that the mocking bird's "busi
ness" was somewhat uncanny, relating,
indeed, to dark conjuring not fit to be de
scribed here
In Alabama a negro who boasted descent
from an African king, albeit he was a
mest unroyal looking dwarf himself, told
me the story of the owl and the magnolia
tree. He said that every spring the great
laughing owl came to the magnolia tree
and warned it against opening its mouth
(its bloomi. "Ef yo docs open it,” the
bird insisted, "yo'sgwine ter losesomefin’
w'at yo’ cayn'tgit bark.” But the foolish
tree never heeded the admonition, it
opened its bloom and lost the swoet odor
for which it grieved a whole year there
after.
The blueiay. according to Cracker and
negro tradition, visits hell every Friday
to pay the devil a day s work, carrying
coals to feed the pit-fire. And the turtle
dove has the reputation of a wolf in
sheep’s clothing. "He's a rug'lar ole
t.irkle dove” is a phrase which in Blue
Ridge lingo means that the person
spoken of is a saint outwardly while in
wardly he is rottenness and doad men’s
bones.
An old mulatto man who went with me
down the Aneilla river, in Florida, seemed
to be a naif-breed in relieion as well as
blood. He was a Baptist, but he crossed
himself whenever a heron flew ahead of
us. He told me. solemnly hollowing his
throat to make his notes sepulchral, that
the heron carried a death□ powder
on its back; if you breathed iu but a siu
gle grain of it your doom was sealed.
V\ hen 1 made light of his story he shook
his head and muttered: "Nebah min',
boss, yoq boun’ ter get fooled some time
or Oder.”
Returning to the woodpecker, it was
generally believed by the Georgia moun
taineers that the acorns hidden by the
common redhead (Melanerpes erythroee
plialus) in hollows and clefts of trees
were poisoned by the bird's tongue. To
the great horror of the lank youth who
told me this, 1 ate a number of the hard,
dry kernels, hoping to enlighten him:
but I only demonstrated to hjs satisfac
tion that 1 was a blame fool ter
be a reskin’ sioh projicks.*’ Amoug the
mountain sportsmen, who used the old
fashioned flintlock rile, the dicker's
eokien-shafted quill was always chosen
to stop up the pan-vent of the gun while
ramming home the bullet. This was
thought to insuro groat good luck. On
the other hand, a screech owl's wing
feather would send the shot wide of tho
mark. I saw a savage fisticuff fight at a
shooting match, near Dalton, brought
aoout by one man furtively slipping an
owl quill into the touch-hole of hi* adver
sary’s gun, and the "ledges o' the shoot
in’ ” unanimously decided that “Jake hed
no fair chance wi’ thet air feather a both
erin' ’im."
A family by the namo of Dodd, living
in a wild and lonely-pocket’' of. the Fine
Log mountains, showed me a variety of
snake skins collected from the nests of
great crested flycatchers. These dry
sheddmgs were valued as a specific for
headache: the cure was effected by re
peating an incantation while blowing the
breath upon one of the skins.
One more note and I must close. Tho
yellow-billed cuckoo lias an air of mys
tery: his style is reserved, stishiowy aud
elusive. On account of his very long tail
and bill he appears much larger than be
is: hence it seems that he is a difficult
target for the riflemen of the hills, and
they havo it that his feathers are bullet
proof. Many a time have I been toid that
"hit air no use ter shoot at er rain crow,
yecayn’t hit it nohow; hits feathers jist
turn er bullets liko or duck’s turns war
ter.” ..
Once I boasted that I could break the
cuckoo charm. My mountain friend was
willing to wager anything that 1 could
not. After some looking about we saw
our bird, and 1 took deliberate aim. In
those days to shoot was, with me. to hit:
but not a feather of the cuckoo did [
touch. Even now I hear the taunting,
arid laugh which greeted my failure.
