HUMIDITY BOILED OVER- Damage Saturday's Storm and the Wrought by It. The heat was the one inexhaustible topic of general conversation last Friday and Saturday. The mercury fairly sizzled and hissed in the thermometers. The wary pedestrian panted for the cooling brooks while the street gamin in the garb of the South sea islander sought the limpid pools of the tepid creeks. But there is an end to all things.

Such there must be to insufferable heat. Great thunder caps began to pile up and skate about the western and northwestern horizon Saturday afternoon about four o'clock. It seemed at first that the storm would be gradual in its descent and mild in its wrath. The brisk southwest breeze that had been such a scource of comfort all day, abated somewhat. The slight calm however was but a prelude to the wrathful storm.

The murky clouds piled higher and higher and from the southwest the breeze, or rather, the gale again started. It was a time when shelter was indeed grateful. Dust, paper, leaves, particles, in fact almost all things loose filled the moving atmosphere. The velocity of the storm was some thing that Newark has seldom seen. Jupiter hurled his thunderbolts and JEolus turned loose the winds.

The winds in turn tore loose things moveable and made decided impression on things considered substantial. Among the latter was a new store building just in the process of completion at the corner of East Main and Cedar streets. It belonged to Rev. E. W.

Brown. The building was So feet long, feet wide and two stories high and stood on the north side of Main and the west side of Cedar. It is not standing now. It is a tangled and conglomerated ruin. Its collapse was complete, but that is owing more to its structural weakness than to the immense fury of the storm.

The same building suffered some, one week ago last Thursday during the strong wind incident to the hail storm. The loss occasioned by the collapse of the building will probably reach $1500. Mr. S. Woolway was the contractor, but in justice to him it may be said that the plans and specifications for the concern were furnished by Columbus architects, and to the plans he adhered strictly in the erection of the building.

The destruction of the building was about the only serious damage wrought by the storms, which was, however, one of the most violent of any in recent years. NEWARK INVENTORS Abernathy and Fordyce Keeeive Flattering Notice in the Pittsburgh Post. The Pittsburgh Post of yesterday contains the following deserved and flattering notice of the Abernathy Fordyce train order block signal. Last evening a representative of the Post by invitation inspected a model of the Abernathy train order block signal which was on exhibition in one of the rooms of the Hotel Anderson. It is an invention of Train Dispatcher Harry Abernathy, of Newark, 0 and the patent is owned by him and Train Dispatcher Fordyce, of that place.

Several prominent railroad officials examined it, and as a result a few signals are to erected on the Baltimore Ohio near this city and one on the Pan Handle. It has several superior points apparently. One is in the lenses, which are manipulated in the inside of the target and can not be smashed. They are worked with the greatest ease apparently. An especial point of excellence is in the bell attachment to the operator's box.

This bell always rings, and continues ringing when the signal shows any other color han red, the normal color at which all semaphore signals are supposed to stand. operator is thus constantly reminded that either white or green is being shown, a fact which is often forgotten after a train has passed. There are several other points which lack of space precludes mention. Specimen signals are working satisfactorily on several roads. The signal is being used with great atisfaction at the T.

5r U. C. crossing. on the Sandusky Short Line and on the B. O.

South Western. The prospects are that in ten years it will displace all others now in use. CITY BREVITIES. Dally Happenings and Matters etJNote and Comment In Oar City and Vicinity. Pan Handle pay car Arrived here today Thomas W.

Arrangements for a grand good time are being made. The school will meet at 1 o'clock in the afternoon at the church and will leave in a body from that place.

We have been informed that the Sunday- School of the Second M. E. church will meet with them at the Old Fort and a picnic will be held in common. "Address no stranger and allow no stranger to address is the advice of the chief of the Chicago detective force to all visitors. He adds: "The price of safety in this city at present is to keep your mouth shut in the presence of those you do not know.

If you want to know anything wait till you see a policeman. It is probable that Chicago is the most unsafe place in the world, just now, to make acquaintances." The attention of the public and the many readers of the ADVOCATE, is called to the fact that William Butler, who has formerly been in the oil business, has abandoned that pursuit and decided to establish himself in the bakery trade. He is erecting a new building and Ms place when completed will be found at No. 206 Eddy street. He expects to be ready to supply a generous patronage by the first of August.

Mr. Butler is honest and reliable, and the public may be assured of square and proper treatment at his hands. OVERTAKEN. A DISSOLUTION Of Ties that Have Become Shackles, Asked by Mrs. Fanny Deweese.

Plaintiff prays to be divorced from the defendant and be given the custody of the three children who have always lived with her and whom she raised, supported and educated, also that the title to the real estate be decreed to her and that the defendant be excluded from any dower or interest in the same.

Marshal Griffith and his subordinate officers succeeded in capturing the man whose secret abode was discovered.

Louis Sanders, who is suspected of belonging to a gang of wool thieves, was arrested early Sunday morning about five and a half miles south-east of T-, i 3 LillO UJ O.LLLCC.1D cmvt phy, as he came forth from the jungles where he had so successfully hidden, and by that means eluded the officers of the law jr some time past. Since the morning of July 6th, when it was discovered that S. F. Van Voorhis had seventy five fleeces of his best wool stolen this party turned up missing. At the instance of Marshal Griffith, who was so earnestly engaged in making a thorough search to apprehend the guilty parties of the theft, Officers Buehler and Murphy were detailed to go out into the neighborhood of the Sanders' and shadow a certain house in hope of finding him.

Intimations were made that he could be found there. The above named police repaired to that quarter late Saturday evening and laid in wait near the home of one John Hottinger until 4 o'clock Sunday morning. Murphy had stationed himself in a corn field adjacent. At about the hour mentioned Sanders was heard stealthily making his way through the corn toward the house of his relative and in the direction too of the officer. Murphy began to breathe easier as the man approached him, for he knew he soon would nab him.

Sanders, never dreaming but that the coast was clear, walked right up almost into the arms of the officer. policeman Murphy ordered him to surrender, it came like a thunderbolt upon him. He was so overwhelmed with surprise that he instantly stood motionless, and for a moment or two was speechless. Of course, he surrendered. Scarcely had the word 'surrender" died away in echo when Officer appeared upon the scene.

By these officers he was brought to Newark and lodged in the city prison, here to await his trial. The above facts were obtained from Marshal Griffith last evening by'an ADVOCATE reporter. The officer further stated that the nest day after the wool had been stolen, Mr. S. F.

Van Voorhis came to him and notified him of the loss he had sustained, also requesting him to try and find out the guilty party, if possible. With the assistance of the Marshal an examination was made at the barn where the wool had been stolen. From the fresh wagon tracks that were found leaving Mr. Van Voorhis' it was thought that the thieves, whoever they were, had either taken the wool to Columbus or Zanesville for market. A correspondence at once took place between these two cities.

This correspondence developed the fact that the wool had been purchased by J. B. Thomas, a dealer in Zanesville from some Licking county parties on the next day, and the dealer was not only able to describe the men but the horses as well. Mr. Van Voorhis accompanied by Marshal Griffith left at once for Zanesville for further investigation.

After interviewing Mr. Clay Van Voorhis, of that city, and the wool dealer, both Mr. Van Voorhis and the Marshal concluded from the description that the parties who had disposed of the wool on the 6th of July in that city were none others than Louis and Benjamin Sanders. The wool was all packed save a few fleeces which Mr. Van Voorhis identified as his wool.

They also met a man at Mt. Sterling in Muskingnm who had seen these two men going toward Zanesville at an early hour on the day mentioned in a wagon loaded with wool. Further than that they had been seen by two other persons on their way back home. Upon the strength of all this Mr. Van Voorhis filed an affidavit and a warrant was issued for the arrest of Benjamin Sanders and Louis Sanders.

Benjamin Sanders was arrested at his home in the West End on Tuesday evening of last week, an account of wss rr iven in the of at the time He was brought before the Mayor and his case was continued until the 19th instant, under a bond of in default of which he was committed to jail. Up to Saturday night no tidings of Louis Sander's whereabouts could be obtained. Many surmises were had and on Thursday last the Marshal got an inkling that he was in the neighborhood of Franklin township. Marshal Griffith accompanied by Officer Haslet drove out into that locality on Saturday for tne purpose of reconnoitering, coming back feeling positive that he was in hiding out there. Upon their return officers Buehler and Murphy were immediately sent out as above stated, which resulted in his capture.

L. CORDRAY Gets the Second Ticket Awarded in the Mashmeyer Guessing Contest. Another lucky guess has been made and another person has been made happy by coming in possession of a free pass to Chicago and return. The second ticket has been awarded by the Mashmeyer store in the guessing contest which has excited so much interest. As stated, in the columns of the ADVOCATE, the guessing is in regard to the Saturday attendance at the World's Fair.

Last Saturday was the second day upon whose attendance several hundred guesses were made. Official reports indicate the attendance that day to have been jnst 141,433. The lucky guess was made by Mrs. C. L.Cordray, of Clay Lick, who placed the number at 141,499.

She in consequence will not have to pay any railroad fare when she visits the Exposition. Three more tickets are yet to be disposed of in the same way. Guesses made this week will be on next Saturday's attendance. From Head to Foot. you feel the good that's done by Dr.

Schefler, of St. Louisville, Yesterday Morning. In the death of George C. Schefler, Sc Louisvilit loses one of her best and most highly respected citizens. His demise was startlingly, sudden and occurred between three and four o'clock yesterday morning.

He was sick about an hour with neuralgia of the heart and medical skill and the tender ministrations of the family could not avert the inevitable. The deceased was aged about fifty- four years. He was, during his whole life, a citizen of the community where his loss is felt with such sudden sadness. His occupation was that of a carpenter. He was known as an honest, upright and conscientious gentleman in all his dealings with his fellow men.

He was a man of family, his wife and seven children surviving to bear the burden of sorrow which his departure entails. Of the children there are six sons and one daughter, the popular B. O. Conductor A. Schefler being one of the sons.

Mr. Schefler was brave soldier in the late war. He was a member of Company of the First U. S. Veteran Volunteer Engineers, The funeral will take place from the home at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow fore- on.
