DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE E.

e Aoltnt
exceptions by the counsel for Stokes
will be presented, probably, to-day.
It holds that the Court erred In not
sustaining the challenge against one Of
tie jurors; in permitting the hearsay
evidence of Francis Curtis in permit
ting allusion to the former trial by the
prosecution In not admitting the
offer to show that the prisoner was
anxious to disclose his defence before
the Coroner's inquest in permitting
the proof of threats to be introduced
at the end of the trial ; In ruling out
the offer to show that the prisoner was
under apprehension from Fisk's VIC
lence and In excluding proof that
Stokes was watched aud logged by
unknown parties also, that disquali-
fled persons were on the jury. On
these points they will ask for a new
trial.

cision of the Senate Finance Commit

Great Storm In the West.
CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-Mail accounts Of
the recent storm in Iowa aud Mime
sofa show that it has been the most Sc
we're known since the settlement OF the
country. The St. Paul Press Of the
9th instant says: ITS effects OH the
railroads hardly assume the shape OF
subjects for discussion. 1t has been
the most disastrous which has occurred
since the beginning Of railroad history
In Minnesota. There were neither ar
rivals or departures yesterday. and
some Of the trains leaving OH the day
previous have been heard from, strug-
Cling or shackled In the drifts, where
the misfortunes Of the snow overlook
them. There are too many reasons for
believing that the subsistence Of the
storm may be followed by n terrible
record Of casualties occurring In the
thinly settled portions of tho State,
among those who may have been
caught away from their dwellings and
exposed to the Implying rush Of the
wind and SHOW, paralyzed and blinded
and perhaps killed by the furious and
long continued storm. Their fate will
be the saddest of all, aud may good
Providence make the record rs small
as possible. In Northern and Western
Iowa the storm was hardly less disas-
trous than In Minnesota. Snow drifts
on the railroads are reported from 200
to 1000 feet in length and five to 10
feet deep. Loss of life Is reported at
various points and the suffering must
be great from lack Of fuel In some local
tiles. At Sioux City the storm dam
aged buildings to the extent of several
thousand dollars, tearing off roofs,
smashing windows, etc. The weather
turned quite mild yesterday afternoon,
with rain in some sections and q pros.
poet for rapid thawing of the snow and
ice. The snow has entirely disap-
peared from the ground here.
