BOVERTOWX, Pa., July 20.?The closing ]
of the Farmers' National Bank here, while

a sensation. Several months ago the
directors of the institution accepted the
resignation of M. L. 11 art man, who for a
numljer of years was cashier of the bank.
The trouble is said to have been caused by
the cashier granting loans without proper
security. State Senator E. M. Herbst, one
of the directors, has ever since been acting
as temporary cashier. The bank was chattered
in 1883.
PROMISESJO RELIEF
Weather Bureau Finds Break
in Heat Wave.
ONE FATALITY RECORDED
Clouds Obscure Sun Temporarily, Giving
Brief Respite.
SUFFERING AMONG THE POOR
Heat and Humidity the Cause of Sick
ness and Prostrations?Forecast
for Tomorrow.
"Washington has been wallowing In a
trough of tropical torrldity," is the way
a veteran w.-ather man d.sc ibid the prevailing
oppressive weather conditions. The
high per cent of humidity In combination
with the blazing sun has made humanity
wilt and wither, and at least one fatality
and a number of prostrations have resulted.
There was temporary relief from the
scorching and humid con-dltions today, whan
a fresh wind came up from the routhwest
and Dame Meteorology sprend a
cloud umb-ella over the sky. Great masses
of clouds rolled overhead and shielded
VVflshinFtnn from th^ fUrort ravo r* f tlio
Bun, and the pcoplpe drew a sigh of relief.
But Prof. Alfred J. Henry, one of the
met* rorology manipulators of the weather
bureau, gave out the unwelcome information
today that the relief was only temporary,
as the daily map and reports showed
hot and humid weather everywhere.
"There is no relief in sight," he said.
"We may have a shower this afternoon or
evening, but that will only cool the atmosphere
for a little while. Then the heat
wii. resume business."
"Heat Corpuscles."
A local scientist has discovered a new
element in meteorology, lie claims which
lie has designated as "heat corpuscles."
[Ie says that soon after daybreak this
morning these harbingers of hot weather
appeared in the atmosphere, giving it a
hazy and peculiar appearance. It is the
theory of this amateur prophet Uiat the
corpuscles always make their appearance
soon after dawn if the day is to be a
particularly hot and opressive one. He
has. therefore, coined the phrase:
"Watch for tlie heat corpuscles.'
The heat and humidity in Washington
ire causing much suffering and sickness, it
Is said, especially among the poor dwellers
in the stuffy and ill-ventilated tenements
in the city's byways. Many of
these cannot afford the luxury of ice and
ire compelled to drink the warm Potomac
water, while their apartments are
veritable overs. A charitable citizen remarked
today that n free distrib uion of
ice among those of "the other half" would
he a most beneficent charity. He also
referred to the free-car-ticket plan for
giving the little ones of Washington's
llleys and tenement houses daily outings
li me iicsn ana (Mire iur 01 me surrounding
country. In some of the allsjs last
night the poor residents were huddled
">ut of doors In front of their humble
ibodes, vainly striving to get a oreath of
"Mini jiir
People Leave Town.
Many of those who could afford It
boarded the electric cars and took trips
>ut into the woods, and others went down
he river, where cool breezes blow. Bathng
pools were liberally patronized, likewise
the ice cream and soda water resorts.
The downtown temperature > esterlay
went up to the 07 notch, aj.d the
suffering as reported by the police, hosplt
1 + + ~ J
l <1 & ani:iiuaiu? <111 vi outers was correjpondingly
great. There were several
?ases of heat prostrations treated at the
hospitals, and taking a lesson trom the
wholesale heat strokes In Philadelphia,
the surgeons at the local hospitals have
made advance preparations, it is yald, for
handling such cases promptly when they
ire received.
The weather man fortified himself against
;he tropical conditions today, and was provided
with plenty of ice water, fans and
>ther hot weather accefsories, while elec:ric
fans whizzed about him and sent scurries
of atmospheric waves in his direction.
Ulu ~.. * * >
iiiviiic.no ncic 3>>cui in iinswering
he "ting-a-ling-ilng" of tlie telephone as
lot and perspiring mortals cai.ed up to ask
vhen they might expect relief from the
lumld heaf. To all of these went the reply:
"No relief in sight. Hot weather still on."
While the downtown temperature, as regstered
at Affleck's had not reached the 1)0
nark at noon, yet the atmospheric pressure
md moisture made the weather cond'tions
nost oppressive. It is said to be probable
:hat the cloud banks in the sky will fade
iway tomorrow and (Xd Sol will again blaze
mobstruetedly.
The cloud masses bfgan to break away
it noon today, when the temperature downown
was NS'/fc degrees in the shade. The
nercury thereupon took an upward shoot
>1 nearly five degrees in the -hour between
12 noon and 1 o'clock this afternoon. At 2
/clock the thermometer at Affleck's regis:ered
'.14 <l:*grees. and still going up, with
he prospect of reaching 'J~, which waa the
naximum yesterday.
Death From Sunstroke.
The first fatality due directly to the heat
n the vicinity of Washington occurred yeserday
when Benjamin F. Anderson of Kenlworth
was prostrated while at work in the
?uii in a garden near his home. He was
llone at the time, and the first intimation
jf his serious condition came when he half
walked, half crawled to the door of his
lome and fell across the sill into the house.
\ physician was called Immediately, but he
ironouncea it almost a hopeless case because
Mr. Anderson's temperature was so
iigh that It could not be recorded on a elincal
thermometer. Ice bags were applied to
:he victim's head, ice baths used and every
-ffort was made to reduce his temperature,
>ut to no avail. Mr. Anderson lingered in
i comatose condition for about three hours,
when death took place.
Benjamin F. Anderson was born in this
:ity lifty nine years ago, and h? resided
le're all of his life. For over twentyline
years past he was employed in Rock
'reek cemetery. He leaves a wife and
six children, namely. Theodore and George
Undersoil, Mrs. Jessie O'Nea1, Mis. Grace
Ualone, Mis. Lavinla Grant and Mrs. Katie
Blundon. The funeral will be held Mondiv
it 12:r;o o'clock. Services will be contacted
by Rev. Mr. Buck of the* Rock
'reek parish, and lnterme:it will bj ma. ie
n Rock Creek cemetery.

DELAYED FLftREBACK '
Cause of Reccnt Disaster on

-INDING OF NAVAL BOARD
lir Blast in Oun Not Turned on Long
Enough.
:rew trying to make record
Jtber Possible Causes for the Tragedy
Considered in Turn and
t
Rejected.
v
By a process of elimination the naval
board, which lias been Investigating the
accident whereby the men In the turret
af the battleship Georgia lost their liven
recently, has arrived at the conclusion
ihat a "delayed flare back" caused that
catastrophe. In one pensc the verdict 1>?
ecelved with a distinct sense of relief by
laval officers because it showed that they
lad no new element of danger to contend
vlth. They had experienced "llarebarks"
jefore and thought that they knew how to
leal with them.
A "delayed flareback" Is caused by closng
off too soon the blast of compressed
llr, which lit supposed to expel from th?
yore of the gun the unburnt gases and
ragments of smoldering powder covering
hat might be left from the last discharge.
\ft?er the terrible accident in the Missouri's
urret three years ago, resulting In the loss
if over thirty lives, the experts having
iecided that that accident was caused by
he ignition of the new charge by the
inburned gases and smoldering cartridge
loth of the preceding charge, the ordnance
lureau caused to be flted to the breach
if each of the great guns an air blast apmratus
calculated to expel by compressed
ilr any gas or cloth that might remain
n the bore of the gun. So far that ban
vorked very well and there have been no
'flarebacks" since the device was Installed,
tailed.
Cause of Disaster.
%
In the case of the Georgia's eight-Inch
run. what happened was this: The breech
if the gun was thrown open and the air
>laj?t turned in at a pressure of loo pound*
o the square inch. That is sufficient for
ill ordinary purposes with the important
lualiilcatlon that it should be continued
ong enough to drive the last remnant of
:as or cloth from the gun bore In this
ase the gases or smoldering cloths (which
s not known now) were driven probably
nore than half way to the muzzle of the
run when the air blast was turned off.
The Georgia was steaming at ten knots
nln tliu nliwl nil..I. ..1?
if the gun. The unexpelled gas? ? or cloth9
k'cre driven bark by the breez.- into th?
ireech of the gun and out upon the powler
charge which was Just about to be lnerted.
The explosion followed. The cause
f the accident, therefore, will without
loubt be set down to the ambition of the
;unriers to make a record practice In point
if speed. Had the air blast been kept on
or a second longer In all probability the
ccident would have been avold"d. Three
hots from an eight-Inch gun in a turret
n one minute or ten shots from both guns
n a turret In two minutes to record prarIce
and there Is reason to believe that
jieut. Goodrich's turret crew were about to
maah that record.
Conclusions Summarized.
The conclusions of the board are sumnarized
as follows:
The charge was not Ignited by a blown
lectrlcal fuse of a short circuit, nor by an
lectrlc spark from any electrical device
n the turret.
The charge was not ignited by a percuslonal
or frlctlonal spark.
The charge was not Ignited by a spark
r cinder falling Into the turret from
utside.
The charge was not Ignited as a result of
ny condition due to deterioration of the
owder.
Finally, the board concludes that the
harge was Ignited by a delayed flareback.
