WINTRY WEATHER
Mercury Mounts Upwards and the
Severe Spell Subsidies.
IN THIS LOCALITY,

The weather continued cold all day yes
terday and last night until midnight, when
1t began to moderate, and snow began To
fall. Today the weather is much warmer,
and still moderating, as shown by the ther-
mometer, which at 7 a. nj. indicated 12o
above, and at 10:30 a: m. 40 above. This
moderation of the temperature seems as
general as was the falling temperature, and
all through the West a rapid rising of the
mercury is reported.
1t may safely be asserted that the "back-
bone of the winter is broken, and we have
had our coldest weather. The Ohio River
is frozen over solid above and below, and
pedestrians are crossing on the ice.
The ferryboat Favorite has cut channel
through the ice and by making an occa.
sional trip keeps it open, but she carries
very few people.
Steamers and other floating property
have been put in as good shape as possible
and made ready for breakup which will
surely follow in the end.
Steamboatmen generally think we will
yet have long and severe winter, and have
no thought of navigation opening for sew
eral weeks.
Coal men are active in getting their
barges unloaded, and some are even work
ing laborers night and DAY. There is large
open space in the river above the foot of
Fifth street, which gives sufi cient room to
handle the barges down there without
trouble. The coal merchants have sue
ceeded in getting large portion of the
black diamonds out of the barges and by the
time the ice moves there will be very little
coal exposed to its fury.

storm, which has prevailed uninteruptingly

TOO COLD FoRAFIRE.
STEVENS POINT, Wis, Jan. Cat .he fire
here last week, which consumed five wooden
buildings on Clark street, the loss was
SIS 900. No insurance. The mercury stood
26o below zero. The hose froze and the
steamer could not work. The hand engine
was the one that saved large row of frame
buildings We had a fall of snow the
night before which saved the adjoining
buildings from taking fire. Men froze their
feet and noses. One boy, who had been
drinking some. was found on The street al.
most frozen to death. He will lose one or
both arms. Snow all around us. Lumber
ing will be carried on very extensively this
winter, although lumber never was so low
as at present.
