HIS STORY,

as gathered by a press Reporter, is
substantially as follows: On the
morning of the terrible Tuesday, a
party of five men, Charles O'Neil
and his brothers John and Stephen,
and Mike and Thomas Holden, start
ed from Beaver Falls, Renville coun-
ty, with five loads of grain for Viii
mar market Wilmar is distant
from Beaver Falls about thirty-fve
miles of open prarie, tgenty of which
is without settler. Quite early in
the afternoon it began to snow, but
the wind was light and the party
pressed on, anxious to reach Wilmar
with no delay. @
When within about eight miles Of
Wilmar the wind began to increase,
and blew directly in their faces.
They viewed the situation with con-
siderable dismay, and about half
concluded to turn about and retreat
to a house about eight miles in the
rear, and fortunate would it have
been had they done SO. But about
a mile ahead was the house of a Mr..
Meagher, and the party finally de-
termined to press on to this refuge.

THE STORM

continued to increase in violence,
however, and the wind hurled the
falling and drifting PARTICLES of ice
against and about them until they
were obliged to turn their faces from
the storm and trust to the instincts
of their animals to keep the light di-
rection. Drifts began to meet them,
and their horses could scarcely
founder through them. Itwas now
too late. and equally too hazardous
to take the back track, and they
pushed on into the bitter hurricane
in the hope of reaching Meaghers

THE DISCOVERY

ABOUT ten o'clock Friday morn
ing a man, passing along the road
with an OK team, heard shouts as of
some one in distress, and upon max
ing search discovered the little bar
ricade covered with packed snow,
and was Mortified, upon disturbing
several apparent knobs in the vicini-
ty, to find that they contained the
dead bodies Of men. He found the
bodies of Thomas Holden, Stephen
O'Neil and John O'Neil, the first two
quite dead, and the latter with life
almost extinct. Upon searching un-
der the cover he discovered two feet
protruding from the snow, and break
ing away the crust he found Charles
O'Neil, alive, but in
TERRIBLE CONDITION.
The bodies were at once logged
to his sled and conveyed to Meag-
hers, and thence to Wilmar, John
O'Neil dying before reaching that
place. The details of the suferings
of Charles O'Neil are horrifying and
almost incredible. 1t seems that
he had laid down Immediately upon
entering the cover, and had, while in
this position, been fastened down by
the terrible weight of snow which
drifted upon him, or rather upon the
upper portion of his body. 1t was so
heavy, he said, as to cause almost
unbearable torture. After he found
he was unable to rise, and that the
snow was covering his head, he fear
ed suffoeation, and to keep that
member free he constantly raised
and lowered it, and in this manner,
while he could not prevent the drift
from forming over it, he formed an
air chamber, which prevented suffo-
cation. In his endeavor to free his
head the poor fellow actually
TORE THE HAIR
almost entirely from his scalp. Here
he lay his feet exposed to the air
and frozen stiff and with the cruel
frost slowly creeping up his limbs,
and unable to move scarce muscle
of his body, from Tuesday night un-
til Friday noon. Can more hor-
rible situation be imagined ? The
poor fellows right arm is frozen to
the elbow, the right leg to the knee
and the left leg above the ankle.
These members are thus far COM
pletely dead, and he has been lying
at Wilmar until yesterday, when the
first train succeeded in getting
through.
Five of the horses were frozen to
death, and the others were found
five miles away all right.

but a meager supply of blankets.

Oh! she was q maid Of laughing eye,
And she lived in garrct cold and high;
And he was thrcadbaro whi<kered beau,
And he lived in cellar damp and low.
But the rosy boy Of the cherub wing
Has many shaft in his slender string,
And tho youth below and the maiden above
We're touched with tho flashing darts of love
And she would wake from her troubled sleep,
O'cr his tender billet dour to weep;
Or stand like statue bright and fair
And gazo on lock Of his bright red hair.
And he who WAS 80 tall and proud,
With his step SO firm and his laugh so loud,
His beard grow long and his face grew thin,
And he pincd in solitude over his gin.
But one soft night in the month of June,
As sho lay in the light Of a c,oudless moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear
To the startled maiden's listening ear.
Oh, then from her creaking couch she sprung,
And her tangled tressos back she flung,
She looked from the window far below,
And he stood beneath, her whiskered beau.
She did not start with foolish frown,
But packed her trunk and scampered down,
And there was her lover tall and true,
In his threadbare coat OF the brightest blue.
The star that rose in the evening shade !
Looked sadly down on the weeping maid;
The sun that came in his morning pride
Shed golden light DER laughing bride.

Affairs i'm Texas.

It has for long tune been the fa
vorite amusement of the Democratic
journals to depict the fearful condition
of affairs in Texas under the "des-
potism" of Governor Davis. The
Houston Union gives asummary of the
things accomplished by the two years
of Gov. Davis's rule, from which We
make bold to draw the inference that
matters are by no means so bad as they
might be in that State, and that the
record shows a condition of progress
and improvement such as any State
might envy. During these two years,
according to the Union, 1900 free
schools have been put in operation,
over 600 miles of railroad have been
constructed, rufianism has been sternly
dealt with, and the immigration has
been larger than in any six preceding
years. Private and public enterprises
have flourished, and large amount oi
capital has been drawn into the State
to assist in its development. If all
this is despotism, Texas may we'll be
content to have more of it.

834, and on sources formerly
taxed but now exempt the
statement shows decrease of g, 625,

above mentioned sources, where fall
ing off of the revenue appears, is solely
due to legislation. The total decrease

Reported Confession by Mrs. Sherman,
the Derby P0isoner.


Since the conviction of Lydia Sher-
man. last April, of poisoning Horatio
r. sherman, OF Derby, she has lain in
the Jail in this city, as the Court gave
her counsel leave. to argue. before the
Supreme Couit for q new trial. Her
counsel, Mr.. Watrous, decided at the
last moment not to do 80, and slie will
be brought before the Supreme Court
next week and receive her sentence,
which will be State Prison for life. Since
she has been at the jail, Mr.. Webster,
while not relaxing in discipline, has
extended to her every courtesy and
privilege in his power. For these fa-
vors Mrs. Sherman has been very crate
full, and has returned them by making
to MIR. Webster full confession OF
her deeds and complete history of her
life. This she gave unsolicited. About
q week ago, sne told Mr.. Webster that
she should like to make q confession to
him, and since that time from day to
day has done so, and it is now COM
pleted.
Her confessional is understood, goes
beyond acknowledging the poisoning
OF MIR. Sherman, and extende far back
in her hietory. The details of her
deeds, her reasons, and the number of
her victims, she has told with perfect
frankness. An impression has gone
abroad that she has implicated others,
but this, we understand, is not true.
Her confession is not to be published
until after her sentence, next week.
After Mrs. Sherman had made the
confession, she remarked that bur.
den of years. one which had weighed
upon her days, and which sleep could
not ease-had been taken from her
mind, and that she was now q happier
woman than she had ever been. In
her sleep the torments of remerse had
narrowed her in q manner that she
could never describe. For several
days she has been visited by several
persons for the purpose of giving re-
ligious advice and consolation, and
yesterday spent the afternoon IN con-
versation with three persons upon re-
ligious subjects. She says she is per-
fectly willing to receive her sentence
and die in the prison, but hopes that
even there she can find means of doing
some good.

OFFICIAL statements show that the
consumption of iron in this country
increases much faster than is generally y
realized. A large part of the demand
has been stimulated by the united and
entcrprising management of the capi-
tnlists connected with the trade, who
have taken numerous and heavy risks
in railroads, steamships and manufac.
lures of all kinds. The aggregate con-
sumption of iron in the United States,

Fishery Disasters barring the Year.

From the Cape Ann (3aes.) Advertiser.
The year now closing, although not
80 disastrous in regard to loss of life
and property attending the fishing
business as its predecessor, has not
been without it's losses. We find, by
reviewing the list, that twelve vessels
and sixty three lives have been lost the
present season, against twenty vessels
and 14O lives last year. The total ton
mage of vessels lost this season is ST.
658; their value $55, 600; insurance.
$49, 121. The Georges fleet have
been remarkably free from disas-
ter, only one vessel and seven lives
having been lost, against ten vessels
and ninety-seven lives last year. Four
vessels and forty-nine lives have been
lost in the bank fishery, this season.
against four vessels and twenty.e eight
lives last year. Seven vessels and two
lives have been lost in the shore fish
cry. The other branches of the busi.
ness have been prosecuted without dis.
aster. OF the sixty three men lost
this year, twenty -one were known to be
married, leaving twenty-one widows
and thilty- two fatherless children.
