Dangerous Accident.

George Ravens, of New London, awas brought into the office of Dr. Nelson this (Tuesday) afternoon suffering from severe shot wounds in the back of the neck and skull. He had been gunning at Flat Rock in the morning with Mortimer Goss, and from the accidental discharge of the latter's gun received his injuries Goss was standing on ledge above and about twenty feet behind Ravens and was endeavoring to bring the hammer of his gun from full to half cock when his finger slipped and the gun dis charged. Fortunately for Ravens the morn ing was cold, and to protect his neck he had turned up the collar of his coat and pulled his cap down as far as he could upon his head so that %he thick cloth broke the momentum of the shot and perhaps averted instant death. He was assisted to the road by Goss, and 8 passing team was hailed, which conveyed them to the surgeons office. Dr. Nelson found that at least fifty No. shot had pene- trated into the flesh to such depth that it was impossible to remove them without great danger of the patients bleeding to death. He does not anticipate any fatal result from the accident, but considers the case somewhat doubtful from the number of shot in the man s neck and skull which cannot at present be extracted. Ravens was made as comfort able as possible and was removed to his home.-Neao London Te5egr0nn.

A Powerful Railroad syndica

Powerful Railroad Syndicate.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-There is a story on the street to the effect that syndicate has been formed, forming one of the largest rail way contracts on record in the country. It has been known for some time that several heavy capitalists and tnoneyed institutions have been ready to advance money for the completion of the Northern Pacific road. George M. Pullman, the sleeping car million aire; D. O. Mills, the rich Californian, and Mr. Eckert, of Boston, and their associates, offered to advance $20, ,Oe0, ,OoO to finish the road, and at one time their offer was serious ly considered. However, the estimates of the chief engineer showed that nearly $40,- COG, ,OO0 would be required to complete the road, and the directors were unwilling to en- ter into negotiations for less sum than that. At this time q syndicate who have agreed to furnish the necessary $4O, 1000, 600 came forward and made their offer. It is said their offer was accepted last week.

THE COLD SNAP.


 BLOOMINGTON, H., Nov. 23.-A coal fam inc exists in many towns in central Illinois, brought on by the unexpected and remark able spell of intensely cold weather. It has been found necessary to dismiss the public schools.
 Warmer Weather Predict eted-The Canals Frozen Over-Wheat Locked up in the 1ce-The Earliest Closing of the Canals. NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The cold wave which struck this city Saturday continues and will probably extend over Thanksgiving day, al though reports received at the signal station indicate that there may be a slight rise in temperature tomorrow, but the signal officer said the temperature would in all probability remain below the freezing point for week at least. The sudden advent of winter wealth CT has seriously disturbed the calculations of grain shippers. At the Produce Exchange it is estimated that there are more than 7,OO0,- by the ice on the canals in this State. Of this amount 1881 1000 bushels are wheat, 4,9S8, GOO corn and 2S6 ,O0O bar ley. MT. Grant, superintendent of the Pro- duce Exchange, said: s'It is evident that the cold weather has come to stay. The greater part of the wheat in transit is near the Hud- son river and there are some hopes that these boats will be able to force their way down, but unless we have very much milder weather little if any of the corn will get through. Every hour of this weather makes the situation worse, and at some points along the canal snow is reported, which adds to the difficulties already upon us."
 private firm received the following dis patch this morning from MT. Vandercook at Syracuse:
 Mine o'clock-Snowing hard and cold. Boats stopped since Sunday morning All old canal men believe the canal closed for the winter.''
 The general impression among members of the Exchange is that the canals are closed for the winter and little if any of the grain will get through to this city. The earliest day on which the canals have closed hitherto was in 184G, when they closed on the 18th of No vember. A comparison of the records for eight years shows that the present tempera- ture is the lowest that has occurred at this period of the year in that time. The nearest approach to it was last year, when on No vember 22d the thermometer indicated 21o
 The weather to-day and night is clear and cool. The thermometer at 6 &. m. was 16, 3 p. m. 26, midnight 19, average for the day POS, the same date last year 401.

 Among the number arrested yesterday was T. Warren, the reputed proprietor of the ''spiritualistic" show at Peck's Grand Opera House Sunday evening. The charge against him was for breach of city ordinance in giving show or performance without i- csnse. The case will come before the City Court this morning.

President-elect Garfield i'm Washington.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-General Garfield,
 the President-elect, arrived this evening at
 the Baltimore and Potomac depot on the
 train due at TAO o'clock, which did not reach
 the city until after o'clock The exact time
 of his arrival was not generally known, and
 besides the Generals desire that he should
 be allowed to come quietly had the effect of preventing 8 throng at the depot.
 With the exception of Colonel Bob Ingerson, few newspaper men and 8 scattering of clerks. there was only the usual number in the depot that can be found there any night. It was ascertained that General Garfield was in the rear palace car and when tho train stopped at the depot and he stepped on the platform Colonel Ingersou advanced and ex- tending his hand greeted him warmly. Gen eral Garfield shook hands with several others standing about. Mrs. Garfield followed him from the train and then MT. Amos Townsend, Representative of the Twelfth district. This constituted the Garfield party Major Swain, the Generals private secretary was expected to join the party along the road, but failed to put in an appearance and will arrive to-mor row. When the General reached the depot the people recognized him and raised cheer, and as he passed through they raised their hats. He hurried along rapidly to a carriage which was standing at the ladies' entrance, and he and Mrs. Garfield were driven to their home, corner of Thirteenth and I streets, which had been prepared for their reception He was not disturbed by callers this even ing with the exception of Mrs. Sarah Spen- cer, who drove up in a carriage and was admitted. General Garfield will prob ably not be so fortunate during the few days he expects to remain here. There will be no public reception rendered him during his stay he does not wish it. Gen eral Garfield and party stopped at Harris burg and were driven to Senator Cameron's residence, where they dined. They left on the 3:25 train.
