October, like every other month in 1912, except February, finished with a big excess mark in its rainfall record, and now it seems absolutely certain that every rainfall record Atlanta has ever had will be broken by December 31. During- the month Just ended 4.74 inches of rain fell, and the average rainfall for October is 2.34 inches. The total excess for the ten months already passed in 1912 is 18.13 inches, which means that 59.69 inches of rain have fallen in ten months. The average rainfall in twelvemonths is 49 inches. The average rainfall for November is 3.40 Inches, according to Weather Man VonHerrmann, and 4.45 for November. If there is only ar. average fall during the next two months the total fall for the year will be more than 67 inches. The greatest amount of rain that ever fell in a single year on Atlanta heretofore was 65 inches, and that record has stood for a number of years. After the weather man got through handing out statistics he bethought himself of the present. The rain and clouds will disappear tonight, he said, and Saturday will be fair, but windy. Sunday, he continued, should be fair and decidedly chilly. The mercury will descend to about 38. and though it will rise again on tvlonaay, the warm weath er will be practically at an end. Not even Indian summer is expected to re main, and Sunday morning there will be a heavy, but not a klll'ing, frost. GUNMEN REOPEN OLD CHICAGO LABOR FIGHTS CHICAGO.
