FAMILIES UNITED IN DEATH.

AT Fort Ridgeley three brothers were
hauling grain when the storm came on
them. They sought shelter in their
grain cribs in an open field. All three
were found there dead.
Mr.. Lee and his son aged thirteen,
left their house near Sioux City, on
Tuesday for a load of wood. On Fri
day they were found about eighty yards
apart. Evidently they had freed their
cattle and then gone on mistaking their
way. Both were thinly clad. The boys
arms we're crossed, as if he had tried to
keep his buttonless overcoat closed. The
faithful dog was found beside his dead
master. A widow is left destitute with
four children, the eldest only seven years
old.
Near Madelia a man unhitched his
team and went to search for a house
leaving his wife in the sleigh. She be.
came anxious and followed him. Both
we're frozen to death.

The Credit Mobilier investigation be-
fore Judge Polaud's committee, has been
the sensation of the week, in which it
seems to be proved that several Con-
gressmen who have denied having owned
that stock, we're or have been owners Of
it nevertheless, though whether that fact
has had any influence upon legislation
does not yet appear. The recent devel-
opponents are likely to shelve several
promising future presidential candidates.

The " liberal-democratic" party Of
North Carolina are loading down their
friends elsewhere altogether beyond
their ability to carry, even if they can
stand it at home, which is more than
doubtful. In the North Carolina legis-
lature they are supporting bill extend
ing pardon and amnesty in all cases of
ku.klux and political murders, and to
this have now added reputation of
portion Of their public debt. Not al, be
it said to their credit, of the democrats
support those high handed measures.and
the recoil is liable to be such as to injure
the originators of the proposed iniquity

The Minnesota Storm.
MORE THAN Two HUNDRED LIVES
LosTl


LosTi
The details of the terrible snow hurri-
cane in Minnesota, which continued 90
hours, and was accompanied by rain and
snow, represent that over 200, and pos
sibly 800 lives were lost, comprising
mostly heads of families. Missing men,
frozen to death, continue to be found
every day. Thousands of horses, cattle
and other stock persisted. The snow
banks were higher than the houses in
many places, and many trains of cars
we're blockaded for days. The storm
was by far the most remarkable ever
known in that section of the country,
both in the suddenness of its appearance
and severity of its raging, and in the
terrible sufferings and death which re-
suited from 1t. The accounts state that
in some places the storm burst upon
them all at once, the temperature chang
ing from spring-like to the intense cold
If winter within the space Of a few sec
)nds.

SLAIN so NEAR SAFETY.

AT Oshaw, about a, hundred yards
from the railroad station were found
two horses harnessed to cutter, in
which, sitting bolt upright, were two
men dressed in warm buffalo coats. They
were frozen stiff and dead. John Haga-
meyer of Elizabeth, started to go from
his house to his blacksmith's shop, 100
yards away. He was found two miles
distant, frozen to death.
AT Herman, on the st. Paul and Paci-
fic railroad, man was frozen to death
in going from the station to the tank
house.
AT Nicollet, within twenty yards of
the railroad station, man was found
frozen to death in his sleigh.
In the same village another man lost
his life while trying to close his barn
door, blocked by snow drift.
Mr.. Charles Deming, mail carrier be-
tween Vermillion and Swan Lake, hung
buffalo robe over the wheel of his bug
gy and spent twenty-six hours in the ice
of this poor shelter, freezing one foot and
one hand. When the storm ceased he
found himself within forty yards of a
house.

reported by which letter postage will be
reduced to two cents. The consistency
of raising drop letter postage from one

A srRANaE BRIDAL ROOM.

A couple just married were on Their
way home, to Lemars, when the storm
overlook them. They turned the horses
loose and overset the sleigh, then crawl.
ed under it and wrapped themselves in
the robes. 1t was a strange bridal room,
the box of sleigh in a drift out on the
prairie, but they passed two days and
two nights there, and we're finally rescu-
ed alive, though badly frozen.
Near Correctionville John Sparks and
Joseph Sanders went out to get some
wood at distance of four miles. The
storm caught them, but they pushed on.
When mile and half from home they
threw out their load to 60 on more
quickly, but just beyond the road made
a curve; they passed this curve without
turning, and so every step afterwards
was step away from home. AT night
they camped under the sleigh, about
three miles from home. A trapper
heard their shouts, but thought them but
the hooting of owls. All day Wednes-
day, Wednesday night and Thursday
the men were alive and wandering up
and down, bewildered by the terrible
storm. The trapper followed them all
day Wednesday, but could not find them.
On Thursday night their horse came
home, and following back his tracks they
found the two men seven miles away,
about two feet apart frozen stark and
stiff. The dog which had accompanied
them remained with their bodies, and
had kept them from being covered by
the snow. Each man left widow and
the latter all young. Sanders
family is destitute. The aged mother
and sister of Sparks have gone mad, and
will probably die.

men could walk over the telegraph wire.
SEVEN SCHOOL. CHILDREN FROZEN.
One of the saddest incidents is report
ed from Fort Ridgeley. The school
mistress discharged her scholars, telling
them to run home. Some escaped with
but slight injuries, but seven of the lit,
tie ones lost their way in the binding
drifts and were found dead, one with
his books under his arm and his little
foot lifted for step--a step which had
proved step beyond the confines Of
life. Two others were found frozen to
death in each others arms tears, which
the bitter cold or the near approach of
death had wrung from them, standing in
little beds of ice on their innocent cheeks.
Hugh Jones, a teacher near New Ulm,
kept the forty scholars Of his school in
the school house from Tuesday till Fri
day, risking his life like practical, nm
selfish hero, every day in two-mile
tramp through drifts four or five feet
deep to get food for them.

THE STAGE OF DEATH.

The stage left Madelia for St. james,
having eight passengers and driver.On
Wednesday morning, mot having arrived,
search was made for it. 1t was found
ON the road, the horses frozen to death,
the driver a grinning corpse on the seat,
with the reins still in his hands, and
eight bundles of robes aud clothes in the
bottom of the sleigh, each of which con-
tanned souleless lump of icy flesh.
Mr.. A. K. jenkins of the Cleveland,
Ohio, Bridge company, who was super
intending the building of an iron bridge
at Rock Rapids, Iowa, was travelling by
the stage thence to Sibley. Arrived at
the latter place the other passengers dis
embarked. He did not stir. They call

We find very impressive and
alarming anecdote in the London Echo
1t is sent by special correspondent from
Chiselhurst, and is as follows: f" When |
inquired of M. Pietri, the late Emperor's
private Secretary, respecting the health
of the Prince Imperial, that gentleman
politely corrected me by significant
emphasis as he replied: HIS Majesty
supports himself with great courage"
His little Majesty must remember M.
Pietri when he enters into his kingdom.
We read of neat thing in umbrellas
which has just been manufactured for an
African chieftan. 1t might rain cats
and dogs, and the noble owner of the
umbrella not be in the least incommoded.
for it spreads sixty-6ve feet in circumfer-
ence, and it takes two servants to spread
it. But the chief beauty of it to our
mind is that it cannot be easily stolen
and if we could only keep two servants
to spread it, we think that we should
order one of that kind.
