The cold weather which came upon rs
night before last. continues. although
the sun shines warmly today and melting
has begun here In Gold Hill in places.
What made the weather more severe
Monday night was the cold wind. For.
tunatsly the snow fell before the cold
weather came, 90 that ct first there vas
little damage done to water pipes under
ground. Those exposed above with water
in them succumbed to the pressure and
gave out, and the continued cold 10 tell
Ing everywhere. ~.
The wind OF yesterday and the night
before made II ooldest at elevated points.
II was colder in Virginia than In Gold
Hill. and colder In the upper portions OF
Virginia than In the lower. Last night
being still. this was reversed. For this
aso temperatures vary and scarcely
two Thermometers are alike. That at the
Chollar Office registered 2 degrees above
zero-ons degree warmer than yesterday
morning. At other places registers were
made a. low a. 10 degrees below zero.
In Gold Hill, this morning at sunrise,
the thermometer registered 9 degrees
below zero. At the Silver Hill II was 10
degrees below zero.
The mining companies have been
greatly inconveniencsd BY the cold.
Water pipes have been frozen up and
burst at almost every hosting works.
Enumeration IL impossible. Steam
guages have frozen up. right over the
boilers, and indicators on air oompres.
sors have also frozen up. Water pipes
at private houses succumbsd which
stood the cold yesterday and the night
before. Still in many places the cold OF
last night was not % strongly manifested
a. the night before. This was doubtless
owing to the wind which ct that time
prevailed.

tsrday was particularly noticeable: II

who had but short time to stay earth He
looked in the sleeper and saw man bundled up and

given the dose from the bottle. Near the party

"Whoever the party was" said the man, ''they
were i'll great trouble, and the women, although they
looked as if they could 80 through any amount of
worry, showed that they had more on their hands
than they were sure of getting through with
TREPIDATIoN WOMEN.
Those women, he said. had the appearance of being
afraid of something and they would frequently look
