BREAKS RECORD) <2, —_— Since the Establishment of the Weather Bureau There Has Never Been so Long a Period Without Rain. WHOLE EAST IS PARCHED. There is No Rain In Sight, and Already the Frult and Vegetable Crops Are Imperiiled, but It Will Remain Cool. According to the weather seer the East- ern States are now suffering from the worst drought since the Weather Bureau was established. He announces that we have had thirty-two days of almost con- tinuous dry weather andthe present in- dications are that it will continue. In the last fourteen days of April and the eighteen days of the present month only fifteen-one-hundredths of an inch of rain has fallen, and these few drops were distributed throughout several days. Such a drought at this time of the year, says the weather man, {s not only without precedent as far as the records of the Weather Bureau go back, but a strange atmospheric phenomenon. Both April and May have been months in which the farmer a:ways looks for ample showers. After he once gets his seeds down he is willing to take chances on dry weather for the summer months. Hut this year thousands of farmers the Eastern States have not been able to plant because of the drought. Taey fear that if ral does not fail soon many of their crops will be ruined and that the East will experience the latest season for staple summer vegetabies 1D the memory of severai generations, In many ‘sections of the country east of the Mississippi the grass has that dull brown appearance that might be expected ina very dry August, but never in the spring or early summer, Even {a the parks of this city the grass is drying up and the budding trees are losi their freshness. Down on Long Islan the farmers are praying for rain and in hundreds of churches in the vpper part of the State special prayers were offered yesterday for rain. ‘Though there is no promised reltet for the drought the Indications are that nu very hot weather will be experienced for some time. The cool breczes that have relleved the humidity of the past few days will continue. — DROUGHT BECOMES A SERIOUS MENACE.

George Drake, who was convicted of murder in the second degree in the Brooklyn County Court several days ago, created a scene in the court-room to-day when he heard his sentence to life imprisonment tn Sing Sing at hard labor. He fought and’ struggled like a maniac to free himself from the deputy sheriffs who held him after the Court had read his sentence. Drake was convicted of shooting and Killing John Lacey at Forty-seventh street and Third} dvgnuey Brooklyn, on the night of Feb. 13. On that evening his wifo had fled from hia home after he had iil-treated her. She went to La- cey for protection. Drake followed her, ard when he found Laecey shot and killed him. When arraigned before Judge Crane to-day Drake was asked if he had any- thing to say why sentence should not be passed against him. He replied by drawing a long roll of manuscript from his pocket and beginning to read. ‘The first few paragraphs related to what he termed the “foolish endeavors" of his counsel to defend him, asserting that if his case had been pleaded properly he would have been acquitted. After _he had rambled along 1n this strain for five yminutes the Court Interrupted him and } Said that if that was all he had to say jSentence would be passed at once, The prisoner protested, but Judge Crane or- dered attention and said: | There 4s only one sentence I can pass upon you and that is imprisonment for life at Sing Sing with tued labor.” {Then the Judge signalled to the deputy sheriffs to lead the man away. “T will not go to prison,’ shouted the prisoner at the top of his voice, tearing ‘himself loose from the deputies,” not go to that everlasting hell,” cried, and as the court officers closed in around him he kicked and fought like a madman until it was necossary to draw him bodily. from the court-room. ‘Ther ‘be was shackled and placed ina ‘await retoval to Sing Sing.
