Terrific StOrm-GreRt Damage to
PrOperty-Man FrOEen TO Death.

Terrific StOrm-GreRt Damage to
PrOperty-Man Frozen TO Death.
Sioux CIrY, February l4.-Another
terrible storm occurred on Monday
afternoon and night Without mo-
ment's warning the storm burst in great
fury. Snow fell rapidly and was driven
about with binding force. The wind
blew hurricane, prostrating the tele-
graph lines in every direction and doing
much damage in the town to buildings,
signs, &c. The weather became in.
tensely cold, the thermometer falling
forty degrees in two hours. Trains on
the Western Division Of the Illinois
Central are showed in and will probably
remain so three or four days. 1t is
feared that the suffering in the country
has been terrible and the loss Of life
will exceed that OF any previous storm.
Samuel Edison, living on the Big
Whisky, eleven miles north OF here,
froze to death during the terrible storm
on Monday. He had been to the city
with team and started home about
four o'clock in the afternoon; when
about five miles out, he was overcome
by the cold and perished. His body
was found the next morning on the
ground about two hundred yards from
the team. 1t is thought he left the
wagon for the purpose Of finding the
road but became benumbed. Several
other deaths are reported. The weather
is bitter cold, the thermometer standing
at Is degrees below zero this morning,
but the wind has gone down and the
storm is nearly over. Owing to the
prostration OF the telegraph lines, no
further particulars are reported.

WASHINGTON.
The Trial OF VIM. b. Stokes.

WASHINGTON, February l4.-The sec'
ond trial Of ex-Congressman Stokes, for
his connection with the bounty frauds
was concluded to-day. The jury brought
in verdict Of guilty. There was some
new evidence which made it appear
that all the parties concerned knew OF
the bogus character OF the CLAIMS anu
that Stokes knew OF it and helped 10
prepare them. A motion for the arrest OF
judgment will probably be made before
Judge Carter tomorrow, and doubtless
will be overruled and the sentence pro-
nounced. Victor G. Powell Will De
sentenced at the same time.
The Banks.
The Treasury Department will IN a
few days commence paying fifty per
cent on the approved accounts of the
creditors of Union Square National
Bank. The creditors Of the Fourth
National Bank of Philadelphia are
being paid in full today. The United
States Treasury holds $3.50, 1000 belong
ing to the First National Bank Of New
Orleans awaiting the decision of the
Supreme Court as to whether the Gov
ernment ia a preferred creditor or not.
If the decision is favorable TO the Gov
ernment the entire amount will be ab-
sorbed in paying the claim OF the Gov
ernment.
The Hornet.
The Attorney General has decided in
the case OF the steamer Hornet to allow
her to 60 to New York upon a bond to
be entered into by sufficient surety
that she will proceed to New York
from Baltimore, and 60 nowhere else.
Suicide.
Last night Gust Matfeld committed
suicide while under the influence OF
liquor.

CHICAGO.
The Snow Blockade on the Union
Pacihc-RebnildinE the Clty-Ihe
Fire Department Reform.


CHICAGO, February l4.-The man
ayers OF the Union Pacific find it almost
as difficult to dig their track through
the mountains of snow this season, as
the original building was to dig through
mountains of rock. The latest advices
from the snow blockaded trains are not
flattering, and serious doubts are enter
tained as to whether the regular run
ming of trains will be established before
spring.
Contracts for rebuilding the Pacific
Hotel, on Clark, Van Buren, Laselle
and Quincy streets, were let yesterday.
The walls are to be completed on the
lst OF October, and the hotel will be
finished and opened about New Years.
The cost OF the structure will be about
100000.
The investigation Of the Fire Depart
ment was continued to-day. Chief Mar
shal Williams presented a report, asking
for the dismissal Of the First and two
Assistant Marshals, and nominating
their successors. He wants more en-
gines, more hook and ladder trucks, a
floating engine, uniforms, four alarm
boxes and two more assistants, and
states that several members:of the force
are detrimental. The report has not
vet been acted upon.
Mortality RepOrt-Suit Against the
Commercial Insurance Company.
CHICAGO, February 1.-THE mortal
ity for the last week was l57, Of which
l6 were from smallpox. This disease
continues to prevail about the same as
for some months.
Suit has been began against the Com
mercial Insurance Company, of Chica-
90, to compel them to pay policies held
bv plaintiffs. 1t is alleged that the
company lost about two millions 10y the
great fire and became insolvent, but
that they are instructing their stock
holders to purchase claims against the
company at very small per cent and
turn them in at par to pay their rates,
thus defeating the creditors. 1t is also
alleged that the whole assets OF the
company, amounting to 100000, ex-
cepting the price of land, have disap-
peared and that the company is trying
to sell land and use the proceeds other
wise than in paying debts.

rom the CINCINNATI Commercial.l

From the Cincinnati Commercially
CHARLESTON, February l2.-The Con-
vention has done nothing to-day but
debate over the ieaicst OF dead issues,
negro suffrage. The committee on
Elections reported in favor OF making
suffrage in the new Constitution inn
partial.
Mr.. Maslin offered a substitute de
claring only white men to be electors,
and such other persons - authorized by
the Constitution OF the United States.
This was Tor the purpose OF d'stran-
chising the negro, should the Fifteenth
Amendment ever 60 overheard.
The debate following this was excit-
ing and bitter. Mr.. Monroe made a
fierce speech against the negroes, call
ing them semibarbarians and unfit 10

ever. lie wanted the niger kept out
of the West Virginia Constitution, so
that when the Fifteenth Amendment
was annu'led, a. he thought It would
be when the people came to second
sober thought, the nggers would he

The debate will lie resumed to-
morrow. II the delegates talk as much
and DO a. little every day as they have
today, the Convention will last all the
year.
Nomai~ here Tor several days. The
mail for th.- place last Saturday was
seen five mile, from lronton in an old
wagon by the road,iic, the poor horse
trying to pnll it, it having broke down.
The people OF Charleston and the entire
State have suffered terribly by the bun
glesomc management OF the mails be-
tween here and the Ohio river, during
the last three weeks, and call loudly that
the contractor and special agent be
removed. and the matter gwen 10 men
who will attend TO their business. The
NEGLECT Of the official has been criminal.
The people cannot hear what their Con.
vcntion and Legislature are dong, and
fearful growing is heard over the
State.

Mr.. Carpenter said the whole thing

Mr.. Morton intimated the came
thing, but expressed the utmost willing
ness TO have the fullest investigation
that could be had.
Mr.. Conkling said our Government
had not the slightest reason to suspect
that Mr.. Remington was French

manu- facturer of arms, and years before
the Prusslan war had bought arms oil

her.

The Jesuits In Austria.

A considerable number OF Jesuit fathers. ban.

dominions where the order has several iarQo-
establishments. There Is no law in the Empire
inhibiting their residence in the country. There

Tie exiled Jesuits have been received with every
mark Of respect not alone by the people but by tho
government. The members OF the order In COM
mon with other citizens OF the Emp pirc, enjoy cer
tain rights and privileges, which have always
been recognized. Among these are post
tons in the Universities, for which their
great learning and ability In teaching give
them superior qualifications. In the Tyroi,
which is about half German and han Italian. and
where the population is chiefly Catholic, Is situated

The Downward Tendency OF Religion.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In my last weeks letter treated on the great
Importance OF our having faithful Gospel minis
try established among u.s. in order to our securing
the fruits OF a wise and benencent national gov
ernment. Perhaps it is desirable to throw out a
few more suggestions, with view to call public
attention TO this momentous subject, both on the
part OF the pastors and the Christian people.
We are living in an age when the great mass OF
our fellow men are more absorbed in materialism-
in the secular objects and pursuits OF liie-than In
the tremendous business Of our souls salvation.
In no country have greater achievements been
done In these departments OF labor than In our
own. How stupendous have been the material
labors during the past fifty yearsl The fathers Of
our country-our Washington, Jefferson, the
Adamses, Hamilton and Frankln-would gaze
with astonis!iment we're they 70 see the progress
and growth OF our young Republic, which they
abored with such zeal and her0ism to establish
The thirteen young colonies which they formed
INTO nation OF confederate States
have now sprung into young Co.
lossus, extending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the British possessions to the
Gulf OF Mexico. Hamlets have grown into towns
and towns sweled into cities, and Anglo-Saxon
civilization has advanced with onward march
our tide Of foreign emigration we now number "a
population Of nearly forty millions OF people. SO
gigantic have been the lab0rs OF our citizens and
so sublime their energy in the development OF our
material resources that the vital interests OF re-
liglon have thereby been greatly neglected.
Another cause or the declensi0n OF religion
among us is to be found In the intellectual ten
denotes OF the age. During the past century many
OF the most profound thinkers In England and on
the Continent OF Europe, as well as in America
men OF literature, philosophers, statcmen and the
ol0gians-have been lreethinkers and inidcls.
with many OF them the tendency to DOUBT has been
greater than the tendency TO adore The profound
and learned minds or John Horne, Richard Baxter,
Jonathan Edwards, John Milton, sir Isaac Newton
and q noble host OF others have searched into the
foundations Of the Christian religion with humility
and reverence. and at every step have drawn
nearer to God, led by the light OF accommodating
evidence, with deepening convictions and more
matured experience. On the contrary. during the
past century, many able thinkers, dis
cardng the supernatural Illumination con-
tanned In the Holy Scriptures and lean
ing on the unaided light aud self-wled
guidance OF their own minds, have wandered
In their researches further and further from God
and His Gospel truth. The more they Investigated
they plunged the deeper into chaos and dark
night until many OF them became ensnrouded IN
