The site! was purchased at Morris road and Nich- | els avenue long ago. but nothing has t been done since. The report that has I gained currency concerning the non-ex-' peoditnre of the money has been referred to tiie Anarostia t'itizens' Association tor investigation. The police have -had called to their attention two recent cases in which persons have been bitten hv dogs. One was reported by Thomas Johnson, an Iceman, who was bitten on one leg while entering premises 122 Valley street with ice. He a&kcd that no action lie taken bv the authorities in the case. The other case was that of ("lazelle Jenkins, eleven years old. who had been sent to the yard of a neighbor to procure some eggs.

FARMERS ARE KEPT AT HOME Salad Market Bullish Today, for Gardens Suffer and Tomatoes Are as Scarce as Hen's Teeth. Sunshine and a comfortable degree of warmth are promised this city by Sunday. The promise was made this afternoon by Prof. Garriott. official forecaster of the weather bureau, in the most cheery tone. "The North Carolina storm that gave the District such a wetting down since Monday is now being dissipated." said the professor. "It is winding up its stormy career. There may be a little more rain, light in character, late this afternoon, but the rainy conditions are practically over. "The western rain area that Is approaching this section will be in the nature of showers and will be but short lived- It will reach Washington about the last of this week." Another piece of good news given out by Prof. Garrlott was that' the atmosphere will be slightly warmer tonight asid the temperature will gradually rise tomorrow. "We ought to get back to normal warmth and other conditions by Sunday," said he. nc hisu ndiu iiicic wan nu uau?ci ui flood conditions in the Potomac due to the recent heavy rains in this vicinity. The minimum temperature for the past twenty-four hours was reached at 8 o'clock this morning, when the thermometer recorded 56 degrees. Lots of Storm Damage. Members of the police department have been kept busy during the past two days ascertaining the extent of the damage caused by the storm in the city and country. It was learned that four trees had been blown down and many others damaged. The heavy downpour flooded many streets and roads, and many washouts resulted. including a big one near Woodley lane and Cathedral avenue. Dangerous holes were reported in front of about twenty houses in different sections of the city. Water had caused serious trouble under a building at 7th and C streets southwest. The water at Great Falls is the highest it has been in years. Bock Creek Mighty High. Rock creek is overflowing its banks, especially under the P and K street bridges. At the P street bridge, where the creek takes a westerly turn, the water nas baeaea up nearly 10 me yaraa of the houses situated in the lowlands below the street. It is not thought any serious damage will result. The dump on the south side of the creek Is firm, and it is thought that there will be no landslide. such as resufted early in the spring when the waters of the creek undermined the dump and caused a large amount ol earth and rubbish to slide down and force the water into the yards of the houses. The rainstorm of last Tuesday evening, which was continuous and general throughout this section, resulted in a great deal of damage to the streets and roads in Anacostla and riclnity. The police of the local station furnished the men with a list of the places needing immediate attention and they will be busy for some days repairing damages. On Alabama avenue, near the Hebrew cemetery, they found the wind had blown a large tree across the electric lighting wires. , Heave the Lead, Hearties! River men say this was the heaviest August storm that has been seen on the Potomac and Chesapeake bay in many years. On the bay it caused an almost complete suspension of navigation. There have been practically no arrivals of sailing craft since Monday and the officers oi the steamers arriving here report having encountered very rough weather, both last night and Monday. The temperature dropped way down and aboard the steamers beat was necessary for the comfort ol the passengers. While as yet no marine fasnaiups have been renorted. river men are looking for reports of wrecks along the south Atlantic coast. The bad weather has practically put a stop to river excursion business and the freight steamers are coming into port very light. Farmers Hug the Hearth. Farmers in Maryland and Virginia are feeling the-results of the heavy rains, and there was a noticeable absence of them from the Center market today. Reports from the surrounding country indicate that the tomato and cantaloupe crops are damaged. While tomatoes were scarce in the markets today there was still a good supply of cantaloupes. Sweet cantaloupes brought much higher prices than usual, the best of them bringing as much a-? '?> cents. Surprise was expressed by market dealers at the scarcity of tomatoes and at the high prices they brought. Best stock this morning sold as high as $1.75 a boxi retail prices being about 75 cents a peck. Many tomato patches were flooded and the growing crop ruined. Fnless the weather changes during the next day or two it is feared the cantaloupe crop will be ruined and dealers will have to depend upon distance shipments for supplies.

SNOW FALLS IN AUGUST. ^ People in Various Farts of Maryland Report Phenomenon. j BALTIMORE, August 27.?Yesterdaywas n record-breaking day, so far as the weather was concerned, for from several sections of the state reports came in of snowfall. In no instance was the snow very heavy, but the mere fact that snow ' was falling in the middle of August was so unusual that the oldest inhabitants were brought forth to give their opinions. ^ As yet none are reported as having aeen such a phenomenon before. n A number of the reports came from 0 the Immediate vicinity of Baltimore, s where snow was reported in neafly every v direction. From t'alverton came a message over the wire to the effect that snow began to fall there about 11 P o'clock and continued briskly for nearly half an hour. r Another report came from Centervllle. ( Md., where It was said snow fell for a brief period at noon. The sight of snow falling attracted a large num- f ber of people into the streets, and the 1 phenomenon was widely discussed during s the remainder of the day. but, although ? many of the old residents were called upon for their expert opinions, none was * found who could recollect a similar oc- ^ currence. Although many of the residents of this " city thought that the mercury was trying J to crawl out of the bottoms of the ther- J mometers. no one Is reported as having J detected snow in the abundant amount : of rain that fell In the morning and con- J tinued to fall intermittently during the ' remainder of the day. One party did call ? up the weather ma'n and ask him if it ^ was snowing, but as that gentleman c thought the questioner was trying to be ? facetious, he asked him what brand he was drinking and rang off. * THE COURT RECORD.

J HUES SURERMETHOD foung Hunter Would Cure Bad Habit and Shoots. IE MAY NOT DIE AFTER ALL Juliet Hole Through His Head; Eyes Badly Injured. CONFESSED TO GIRL FRIEND Lfter Calling at Her Home in H Street He Walks Several Steps and Fires. George Hunter, twenty-one years of age. nade a spectacular attempt last night to nd his life. He fired three shots and one tullet entered his right temple and passed >ut the opposite side of his head. The ithers went wild. It is feared his eyeIght will be destroyed, although his life trill probably be saved. He is under treatnent by surgeons at the Casualty Hosiltai. The young man refused to discuss the nottve for the deed, but friends attribute t to his inability to refrain from the use >f intoxicants. Hunter had been at the ront door of the house of Samuel B. Cendig, a Police Court bailiff. 1240 H treet northeast. He talked with Miss Jessie Kendlg and then walked the dlsance of three houses from the Kendlg tome and shot himself. Two of the shots were fired from a .22 tnd one from a .32 caliber revolver, a}hough only one weapon was found on he street, the larger of the two. At the line Hunter was picked up he was unable o speak, but later at the hospital told he police and surgeons that he had shot iimself. He signed a statement to that iffeet. What became of the second pistol s a mystery. There was only one empty hamber In the weapon that was found ind cartridges of two sizes were found in he pockets of the young man's clothes irhen he reached the hospital. Capt. Daley ?f ihe ninth precinct thinks the missing >latol was picked up and carried away y some person who was on the street at he time the shooting occurred. Didn't Oo to Work. Hunter is employed in the navy yard is a machinist, and lives at 4315 Brightvood avenue. He is a member of Company E. 1st Regiment. District National 3uard. Fonrterly he lived in Northeast ft'ashington and was regarded a general favorite among the young people vho knew him. Since he returned from the annual en ampment at Fort Washington, It is itated, he had been indulging in intoxicants rather freely, and yesterday norning when he appeared at the navy ard his condition was such that he was inable to go to work. Hunter said he vould give up his position, but he was tdvised to take a rest and return to work this morning. He did not follow lie advice given him, and last night he nade an effort to do what he had conemplated a week ago. The wounded nan told the police and Dr. Watson doflitt, one of the hospital physicians. >nat ne had been thinking about taking lis life for more than a week. Miss Kendig said today that one afterloon while she was talking to Hunter in intoxicated man passed, his condition >eing such as to attract attention. "Before I'd ever come to that." the roung man remarked to Miss Kendig, 'I'd kill myself." It was at that time that Miss Kendig nquired of him if lie indulged In intoxicants, and he confessed he did. "Then." she told him, "you ought to itop it." "I am going to stop." he said; "I'm joing to join the Jonadabs." Broke His Promise. ? 0 During his brief talk with Miss Kendig ast night Huhter said he had broken his iromlse that he would drink no more, rle said he was going to end it all. Dater le said he was sorry he had not succeeded. John Kverhart, Enimett Woodward and iohn I.ogan happened to be near the !eene of the shooting, and Everhart drked up the revolver, turning it over to Tames Duffy, who lives at 13th and H itreets. Police whistles were blown and leople screamed loud enough to cause onsiderable excitement in the neighhorlood and attract the attention of persons viio had not heard the pistol shots. Samuel B. Kendig was among those vho responded.' He thought there was rouble at the house of a neighbor for vliom he iiad recently purchased a poice whistle, and was surprised to find hat young Hunter had shot "himself. He issisteii in lifting* tlin n-nimHoH win intn he ambulance to be removed to the hosiltal. Dr. Moffltt said this morning that the iatler.t was much better than he was ast night. ARMY AND NAVY NEWS.
