[New York Sun.1 DIEGO, Texas, Oct. 1S.-The ent rain makers are the heroes e hour here. The experiment was begun yesterday evening continued during the night was ly successful. -4 o'clock this morning rain fell in ts in the camp .nd soaked the to the skin. Never before were so glad to get a wetting. They and hurrahed and danced fan in the mud. Thi people of San Diego and the sur -7uding country afe astonished at the' It, When they went to bed at night the moon was shining in a dless sky and there was no sign of rid a?ywhere. Four hours later they were awakened by the pattering and pouring of the rain on the roofk:, .md in a few minutes it came down -a torrents. The rain continued for nearly an hour. When it ceased the rain guage showed that half an inch had fallen at this place. Telegrams received this morning from stations along the line of the Mexican National Railroad2sa ~ exctended about fm m e- north east, I e west, and thirty (e southwest. It did not rain either to the east or to the south at a greater distance than ten or fifteen miles. The water this morning is standing in pools all over the ranches, and the cattlemen are delighted. They estimate that t he rain is worth to them, in round ffgures, at least a half million dollars. It is also worth much to the cotton growers. The entire cost of the experiment was about $2,.500, and they regard it as one of the best invesiments they could possibly have made. The scientific value of the success cannot be estimated, of course, but it will undoubtedly lead to many more tests of the concussion theory. Already offers are i g made to the rain makers togo to Mexico and experiment there. The bombardment began in earnest early on Saturday evening, and until nearly midnight there was a continu ous roar from the dynamite and rocka rock batteries. The full moon was sailing across a cloudless sky, and the hundreds of people who had come to the camp were satisfied that the ex peri ment would be a flat failure. They said that it was a beautiful imitation of a bat-tle, but that rain would follow frotr such a sgy was absurd and impos sible. Many offered to bet heavily that no rain would come, and some,of the rain makers took up the bets as quickly as they were offered. '. The heavy smoke from the batteries drifted off to the northwest, and the balloon also sailed off in thit direction before they exploded. The instruments showed 63 per cent. of humidity just: before the firing began, and at 110o'clocli in the morning it showed 9.5 per cent. The barometer was high and rising . during the early part of the evening, but fell rapidly near midnight, when the continuous firing ceased and five minute guns took its place. rr. Ellis, who was in charge, and was rge Castler, the areonaut, sent miinultes apart. 'h faothl The rose to the heigtofauthl mil beoeepoig The explosions wer had at points fifty miles and wre aay Liuts. Allen and Dyer waore wommanld of the batteries and tey were worked by the soldiers from the Twenty-third Infantry. The men did splendid work and added to the high esteem which they have won here by their conduct thiroughout. Just before the rain came down a balloon was sent up. The air at the time was very still. The balloon went straight up and then drifted to the northwest, then came directly south, then went off east, and at the time it exploded was travelling west at a rapid rate. Mr. Castler, who has been making ascensions for many years, said that he had never seen a balloon act in that way, and that the disturb ance in the upper currents must have been tremendous. It was 3 o'clcck when the storm first showed above the horizon to the north wvest. The clouds came up rapidly, and one could see them gather in size and density as they approached the zenith and drifted over the moon. A small cloud would appear suddenly in a clear' part of the sky, and in five minutes it would spread out enormous ly. A few minutes to 4 o'clock the sky above was full of. heavy clouds, but not a drop of rain had fallen. Then a balloon was sent up and ex ploded right ~in the clouds, and the mortar battery began shooting butts in rapid succes Sion.I In twvo minutes after the balloon ex ploded the rain came down, and in three minutes miore it was falling in sheets, and little rivulets were runnmng through the camp. At sunrise a dry norther came, and in a short time the storm clouds had been blown to shreds. Mr. Ellis is highly pleased at the resultse of the experiments, and every one here agrees that the storm was wholly due to the firing. The experiment really began on Fri-e day. The only apparent result of the bombardment on Friday wa a very heavy dew. The oldest inhabitant, r who in this case is a Mexican, says t bat it was the heaviest dew ever known here. As the expedition is not down here to make dew, this result was hard ly satisfactory, however interesting it i may have been from a scientific point of view. Mr. Ellis, the head cloud-persuader, and Lieut. Dyer, the meteorological sharp of the Twenty-third Infantry, smiled sweetly when they saw the sun rise in a cloudless sky on Saturday, and -- said they were not in the least disap poTnt,ff7-riday's firing was merely3 premaskrmish along the picket T HEJ R PV. A. iXY td were busi t 10 vflog aloons with oxyhy-; dytfL+n gas, preparing rackarock and dynamite charges, taking headache medicine, and trying to catch between times a little sleep, having been con stantly at work for nearly forty-eight hours. Seventeen large balloons were filled with the terrible explosive gas and 1,600 charg, of dynamite and rackarock were prepared. In addition to this there were 2;0 charges for the twelve-pound cannon, and 100 twenty one-pound bombs for the imortar batte ries. At 6:30 o'clock Lieut. Dyer placed his soldiers in position. The large crowd was moved back to a safe dis tance. Balloonist Castler lighted a piece of punk, and Mr. Ellis said. "Let'er go." Two balloons rose in the air to a height of 2,000 feet and exploded with a noise like twin claps of thunder. The moment the flash was seen, and before the sound had reached the eirth, twenty dynamite and rackarock charges were fired simultaneously. Five twenty-one-pound bombs shot into the air ond the cannon boomed all it knew how. The ball was on, and most of the Mexicans who bad gathe ed to witness the experiment ran off. The bombart ment was kept up all night. A conti nual roar accompanied the sharp vibra tions of the earth. Boy Preacher Married. [Columbia Register, 22nd.] SQtrte a large crowd of the friends of the contracting parties gathered at the Second Baptist Church last night at 7.30 o'.-.ack to witness the wedding of Rev. James W. Kramer, the "boy preacher," and Miss Bertha Weather ford. The happy couple were unat tended. Rev. Mr. Tolson pronounced the words that made thera "man and wife.' After the ceremony the couple, followed by the heartiest good wishes of all present, rode to the residence of the bride's father on East Lady street, where they will reside for a short while. The groom is rather youthful. For three years he was an exhorter in the Salvation Army, but a year ago joined the Second Baptist Church and was licensed to preach. In a few days he will leave for Louisville, Ky., where he will attend the Southern Baptist Theo- r logical Seminary to fit himself for the functions of his calling. A. Woman Railroad President.

Dodge, an inmate of the poor bouse of this city, and aged s0 years, bas received notc:e that she is heiress to an estate worth 8,1 00,010. Her great grandfather on her mother's side, )wned a vast estate near London. His Adest son removed to America, set tling in Virginia. Two children, N il liam and Annie, were born of this marriage, the latter being the mother )f Mrs. Dodge. Their mother died and they moved to Kentucky,where Annie married William Coleman. The pa rents died forty years ago, leaving Mrs. Dodge and a sister. They moved to Missouri, where Mrs. Dodge's husbandi died twenty years ago. Five years ago an article appeared in an English paper telling of the estate ind the lost heirs, and the fact that the estate was in the hands of the public idniiistrator. Mrs. Dodge laid the ease before a relative nanied Ross, re ently of Minneapolis, and he w!it to London to investigate the matter. He returned an encouraging letter, but 5ince then nothing was heard froni. aim, and it is not known whether he Ias put the matter in the hands of her 2ephew, William T. Coleman, a very Nealthy canning manufacturer of San Francisco or not. Meanwhile she came .o Butte to visit her daughter, Mrs. .harles Ragsdale. She was taken sick, nd accommodations not being good tt the miner's cabin she was removed o the poor house. She has now re ,eived letters confirming her right to be estate, and has forwarded letters Lnd documents,.the family Bible, etc., o prove her claim.

Promes a ir.nw t gprowh * Ne~'er Pa sesr Ga The Liver 'When out of order, involves every organ of the body. Remedies for some other derange ment are frequently taken without the least effect, because it is the liver which is the real source of the trouble. and until that is set right there can be no health, strength, or comfort in any part of the system. Mercury, in some form, is a common specific for a slug. gish liver; but a far safer and mere effective medicine is Ayer's Pills. For loss of appetite, bilious troubles, consti pation, indigestion, and sick headache, these Pills are unsurpassed. "For a long time I was a sufferer from stomach, liver, and kidney troubles, expe riencing much difficulty in digestion, with severe pains in the lumbar region and other parts of the body. Having tried a variety of remedies, including warm baths, with only temporary relief, about three months ago I began the use of Ayer's Pills. and my health is so much improved that I gladly testify to the superior merits of this medicine." Manoel Jorge Pereira, Porto, Portugal. "For the cure of headache, Ayer's Cathar tic Pills are the most effective medicine I ever used."-R. K. James, Dorchester. %lass. "When I feel the need of a cathartic, I take Ayer's Pills, and find them to be more cffec tive than any other pill I ever took."-.Mrs. B. C. Grubb, Burweliville. Va. " I have found in Ayer's Pills, an invalua ble remedy for constipation. biliousness, and kindred disorders, peculiar to miasmatic localities. Taken in small and frequent doses, these Pills Act Well on the liver, restoring its natural powers, and aiding it in throwing off malarial poisons." - C. F. Alston, Quitman, Texas. "Whenever I am troubled with constipa tion, or suffer from loss of appetite, Ayer's Pills set me right again."-A. J. Kiser, Jr., Rock House, Va. " In 1858, by the advice of a friend, I began the use of Ayer's Pills as a remedy for bil iousness, constipation, high fevers, and colds.

EUSTATIA .\. WEDAMAN, m etober 16, 1891 Administratrix.2 THREE REASONS WHY. Has it ever cccurred to you that : selecting a company in which to as your life, there are three points which. if correctly ascertained, will determine beyond ali question the best com for you to choose ? Here they are: FiRsT-SAFETY. SECOND-CONTRACT. THIRD-RESULTS. I. SAFETY (or Strength) Is all impor- '. tant: for an insurazce contract is either en tered intofor a long period of years orforlife In the case of an insurance company(as with an individual or with any other busins organization), strength is determined.by'the amount of assets OVER AND ABOVE ALL L. BILITM: or, in othe- words, by the Surplug As the surplus of the Equitable Life Assur ance Society of the United States on Dec. 3ist, 189, amounted to Twenty-three anbthree Quarter Millions (a sum many millions in excess of the surplus held bv any other life company in the world), and as the.kMtble ratio of assets to li.bilities is 125 per eent., I. e., $125 to meet each $100 of indebtedness (a percentage greatly I:2 excess of that of any other leading company), th. question of greatest safety m us' be decided In favor o the Equitable. ASSETS..---.-. - $119,243,744 LIABILITIES (4 per cent) 95,593,297 SURPLUS..-----------.......$23,740,447 2. CONTRACT (or Poicy).-This deter mines your rights and privileges. The Fre Tontine policy and application of the Equi table Is free from any and all restrictions after one year, is absolutely incontestable after two years,gives a choice of six mithods of settlement at the end of the st ted period, and is payable immediately on receipt of proofs of death. Compare this with thw* policy of any other company, and! th -verdict will necessarily be i" iavor of the. Equitable. 3. RESULTS.-The settlements that are being made on the twenty-year Tontine pol. icies of the Equitable Society, maturing in 1891, show a cash return to the policy-holder himself, IN ADDITION to the protection ftr nithed by the life assurance for twenty years, of all the premiums paid, with interest at from 2% to 7 per cent. per annum besides (according to the kind of policy and age of the assured). No other company can show such results, and hence it is that the Equita ble's business has outstripped that of every other assuranceorganization Further information will be promptly furnished on application to JAS.
