at e:15 4. NJ. About all OF the winter the road
has beenyopen to Ashland and to Steveps
Point, but the Lake Michigan divisions have
lately been closed by snow storms for week
or more at a time. The whole line is said to
be now open and in good working order.
The 81. Paul q Omaha was open to st.
James Yesterday and obstructsd between
st. James and Mountain Lake and between
Sibley and Sheldon in Iowa. 1t was thought
last evening, the storm having wholly sub.
sided, that the obstructed portions OF the road
might be cleared to-day, SO that trains can De
run through Monday, for the first time since S
the Sd OF February. The road was substantially
clear Wednesday night, until the new storm
came up. The wind of Wednesday did not fill
the old cuts though it dropped some snow into
them. Train men say the wind blew so hard
that it carried the snow right along over the
cuts.
Capt. T. P. Gere, superintendent of the st..
Paul division of the st. Paul q Omaha short
line, was caught by the storm of Thursday in
passenger train which was stuck
two miles east OF Window. Yesterday he
took a team and drove through to St.
James, from whence he will return to st.
Paul by one Of the trains of to-day. The STALL
ed train was worked FEAST yesterday as far as
Mountain Lake, and will probably be brought
out Of the snow tonight or early tomorrow.

the latter as the "St. Paul q Omaha Short

stick.

Acctdent to Supertntenslent Hatch.

General superintendent c. F. Hatch, Of the
c., st. P. & o. line, left here Wednesday after
noon in the company's business car for tour
of observation over the st. Paul & Omaha
line and branches. The storm of Thursday
caught him at Worthington, but he went as
far as sibley, Iowa, before the track
was blocked. Yesterday noon he was out on a
hand car, about two miles west
of Sibley, probably to See for him.
self how much the track was blocked,
when he was thrown from the car and quiet
badlyshurt. He telegraphed himself last even.
ing that he was bruised pretty badly but had
no bones broken and will return on the first
train, postponing his western trip until he has
recovered from his hurts. Just how the acci-
dent happened could not be learned, but it may
be supposed the car jumped the track when
going with enough speed to throw Mr. Hatch
with force on to the ice-covered grounds.
GenerD, Bts,.op to Leave the Omaha.
The rumors that General J. W. Bishop,
General Manager Of the Chicago, St. Paul
and Omaha Line, Is about to resign have
been revived in connection with report that
he had become associated with the firm OF
Langdon q Co., contractors, and was to take
personal charge of building the Council Bluffs
line OF the Chicago & Milwaukee company.
Is
frmed the report as to General Bishops as.
sociation with his firm and his proposed per-
sonal connection with the construction of the
road across Iowa. General Bishop being ab.
sent from the city, accompanying Superin-
tendent Hatch on the trip which has been
postponed on account Of the accident to the
latter, no statement could be had
from him as to his leaving the
Omaha line. But it is doubtless
true that he will soon cease to .be general man.
ager of the line The firm with which he is
associated have, besides the Iowa contract, to
build this year about 200 miles of road for the
st. Paul g. Manitoba company-on the Osseo
branch from Minneapolis, on the Breckenridge
extension from Durbin north, and on the
Grand Forks branches west towards Devil'G
Lake and north to Pembina. The Iowa con-
tract is for 270 miles of road, from Marion to
Council Bluffs, and is to be built as quickly as
ample means and the best engineering skill
can carry it through. General Bishop
will be a valuable addition to the
firm of Langdon q Co.. and will
doubtless improve his fortunes by the change,
but that part of the public most interested in
railway system of St. Paul will regret his re-
tirement from the position he has so long and
so acceptably filed.

Il
men alluded in it, Malone and the Vice Presi-
dent.
At this point OF the proceedings, when the
discussion had lost all rs life ANA fire, when
the ulience in tlie gaiIerie- had become less
numerous and when all we're locking forward
10 an i;nmedii'e adjournment, the most ey-
citing sreue Of the day took place. Senator
Malone, of Virginia, rising unexpectedly,
said: "I rise to ascertain whether l
correctly understood the Senator from Illinois
(meaning Indiana and Voorhees)-as saying
the article which he had read from Phil
adelphia paper, the Ereming Telegraph, was
his speech. In that article am referred to
as f'renegade Democrat" further on as "Re.
pudiationist," and further on as having en-
tered into bargain with Republican Senator's
in regard to the organization of the Senate.
If have recited correctly what Is stated in
that article, ask the Senator whether that Is
his speech (applause) and I pause for reply.
Senator VOORHEES,, who had in the mean
time moved to the Republican side of the
chamber, and taken chair at a short distance
from Malone, replied in cautious but reso-
lutte tone. He said: sent to the clerks desk
an article from leading Republican paper, ed.
| tied by allies of the Senator from Virginia.
| Soon after the Senator from Massachusetts,

and asked me to soften that article
by disclaiming it as my speech, did SO in re
sponse to that suggestion. If the Senator

mistaken. He will have to deal with the Re
publican editor of that paper, and when be

The weather bulletins announce a
great barometric depression all the
way from Manitoba, in the British
possessions, to the gulf of Mexico. 1t
was raining at Louisville and other

this morning, and slightly SO at Vicks-
burg, New Orleans and Chattanooga.
Light e~lsterly bieeze this morning,
and it came from hat quarter all Of
yesterday, sometimes brisk, again
strong and now and then bordering on
a gale. A change to the north is in
dicated, and of course it will be
colder. The winds west of the Mis-

tied along briskly at seventeen miles
an hour.

in the Arkansas and White rivers.
The tributaries west of the Missis-
sippi are all flushed; but the Ohio and
its afluents, except the Cumberland,
are on the decline. There is no dan
ger of a food here for some time to

SkyIight Beauties

Those who may be skilled in star
gazing will have a nice chance to look
at a beautiful spectacle and a striking
celestial picture any evening this week.
We have five evening stars just now,
Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Neptune and
Mercury. The first three lie close to
each other, and nearly in a line, the
lowest and brightest being Venus, next
above it great Jupiter, and the highest
and dimmest of the three is Saturn.
Venus at the present outshines ali ce
lestial bodies except the sur. 1t casts
a p~erceptible shadow on a clear night.
1t may even be seen in the daytime by
those who know where to look, if they
feel disposed to search for it, Venus
now sets about a quarter before ten
o'clock, while Jupiter goes down
nearly half an hour later, and Saturn
hides beneath the horizon towards II
pm. Those who are disposed to take
a peep at Venus any evening this week
through the telescope run by the man
on the street corner, if unfamiliar with
the brilliant planet, will think it is the
moon, unless they have looked at it
before in that way. Its phases are
similar, and at present it appears as
the moon does just after its FIRST
quarter, with a less jagged edge along
its border. 1t is worth looking at,
and a curious person cannot lay out a
dime..or so to better advantage than by
taking a peep through the telescope
Many are shy about doing it, because
afraid some friend may come along
and laugh at them.

SHOT BUT GOT AWAY.
A Bold Black Burglar Catches a
LeRden Pellet.

About three O'Clock this morning
the son of II p. Woodlock shot a bur
glar while the latter was trying to pry
open a window to enter the residence,
No. gu Shelby street. The barking
of a dog aroused the lad, and hearing
the noise at the window be discovered
a burly negro in the act of pushing his
way in the window, which had been
priced open. Without a word, he
turned the pistol loose, the negro fall
ing to the ground simultaneously with
the report. Running out of the door,
young Woodlock discovered the negro
walking across the street, and called
to him to halt. In reply, he turned
deliberately around and cursed the
young hero rouudly. Again the trusty
pistol went up and two balls were sent
after the scoundrel who, by this time,
was making good time down the
street and off into'the darkness.
The burglar was evidently one of
the boldest of his class, as shown by
his quiet deliberation in piling stones
under the window until he could reach
the sash by standing upon them, and
by his obliviousness to the barking of
the small dog. A box Of matches was
found on the window sill.
The police we're on the trail this
morning and expect to gain some clue
to the thiefs whereabouts by follow
ing the trail Of blood which is scat
tered pIofusely under the window and
about the pavement in front Of the
gate.

work was done they are probably cor
rect in their theory that the one and
the same man IS doing all or most OF
the robbery now going 'on in the city.
