The Intense Cold.

DrBrorE, Jan. 21.-The blizzard which
has been raging in Western Iowa for the past
three DAVIS extended to this city to-day. Such
a severe storm attended with such intense
frigidity. has not been known here for twenty
five years. The streets of the city are almost
deserted. and only a few braved the storm to
attend divine service. Out on the prairies,
unprotected by hills or forest growth, the cold
is still more intense.
This morning thermometers in this city in
Dictated $50 below zero. Trains on roads west
of here have been abandoned, and the result
is that business is seriously affected. Stock
is suffering greatly, and many cattle and hogs
are frozen to death. At this hour "A p. m. }
the thermometer is gradually sinking, and the
wind steadily increasing. The prospects are
that tonight will be the coolest ever known in
Iowa.
Monday was as cold a day as New York is
apt to experience. The mercury at Hudnut' S
marked 100 at in the morning, 1o0 at noon,
100 at p. m, and ITO at p. IN.
A dispatch from Chicago says that the cold
wave seems to be moving east, and that the
temperature is rising at points where 1t has
passed. 1t was still intensely cold in that city
Monday morning, the thermometer at eight
O. o'clock indicating $50 below zero. The wind
had packed the snow in solid drifts. which
impeded railway travel. The trans on most
of the roads were behind time, although drawn
by two locomotives each.
In Nebraska the weather has begun to mod
crate, the thermometer averaging % below
zero Monday morning. The main railway
lines were open. The cattle on the ranges
have not suffered
In Cleveland the thermometer fell $40 in
thirty-six hours, and Monday morning stood
80 below zero.
Monday was the coolest day of the season
in Toronto, the thermometer registering 6O be-
low zero.
The snow-storm in Northern New York
continued Tuesday. The railroads are block
ed and travel abandoned. Dispatches receiv-
ed at Toronto from various parts of Canada
represent the cold as the severest of the sea-
son, the mercury ranging from zero to So
below. 1t was also very cold at Chicago and
throughout Northern Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Iowa and the region beyond, as far
west as the Missouri river. But few railroad
trains in the wole Northwest were able to
make schedule time, on account of the snow
drifts The temperature at Winnipeg, Mani
toba, Tuesday morning, was Ago below zero,
the coolest on record.

The farmers in Washington, Montgom-
cry, and several counties on the Eastern
Shore are asking for legislation to protect
sheep against dogs. 1t is claimed that the
important branch of husbandry, sheep rails
ing, is languishing on account of the great
number of dogs, many of them useless A
writer in one of the Eastern Shore papers
wants dogs taxed two dollars per head, and
the farmers of Montgomery are going to
take hand in the election of members Of
the Legislature, and will endeavor to pledge
candidates to Legislation taxing dogs.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, hash t
any good feeling for Ben Butler, and is
reported to have said that if Butler should
ever be elected Governor of the Bay state
he would emigrate. Butler was elected
last fall, however, and his success was per-
haps the greatest personal triumph ever
witnessed, heleading the balance ofthe ticket
from twenty to thirty thousand votes.
Hoar did not leave the state, as he said he
would. His love of office was greater than
his hatred of Butler. Had he emigrated
he would have had to have left the Senate
chamber for years, and perhaps for ever, so
he concluded to stay and seek reelection,
which he accomplished last week, though
his triumph was not easy or overwhelming,
and to add further to his humiliation his
certificate of election had to be signed by
the hated Butler. 1t is question to whom
the signing of the certificate was most dis
tasteful, Butler or Hoar.

Senators Coke, of Texas, Plumb, of
of Kansas, and Mcpherson, of New Jer-
sey, were reelected by the legislatures
of their states on Tuesday last On
the same day John Kenna was chosen
United States senator to succeed Senator
Davis, of West Virginia, who refused
reelection. The legislatures of Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Colorado are
still balloting. Ferry and Windon will
likely fail to secure reelection, and it is
probable Nebraska will elect Democrat.

The popular revolution of last fall con-
tinues. Senator Window has laughed at
the opposition to his reelection by the Min
nesota legislature, and declared that it was
all confined to one politician. He now
finds that the opposition is wide spread and
his strength is small indeed. Even should
he be finally chosen, his chances, if he had
any, for President have gone glimmering,
although the wealthy Senator short time
ago thought he was the looming man.
Senator Hoar was really repudiated by the
Massachusetts, Republicans, and there seems
to be disposition in several other states to
get rid of their Senators and bring fresh
men to the front more in accord with pub
lie sentiment.

Six Sixty-ton Engines Wrecked in
a New Mexico Snow Bank.

DENVER, COL, Jan. 2l.-Thursday evening
an engine on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad,
while making an effort to force the blockade
of snow between Coolidge and Fort Wingate,
jumped the track. A second engine came to
the rescue, and two more engines were tele-
graphed for from Coolidge. These started for
the scene of the accident at full speed and in
a binding snow. Nothing could be seen
ahead. Suddenly there was tremendous
crash, and four six ton engines were piled up
and wrecked on the road bed. Charles Lakin,
engineer of No. 6, and his fireman were seri-
ously bruised and several others were slightly
injured. Friday the men working on the
wreck being exhausted from fatigue and cold,
Coolidge was again asked for assistance, and
two more engines with way car loaded with
workmen started for the scene. The snow
was binding and the wind blew terrifcally,
and the rescuing train crashed into the wreck
of the other four engines. Both engines and
way car were completely wrecked. The storm
was the worst known for years. Danger
lights were completely covered up and the in
tense cold made it impossible for signal
to be out

succession of sad mishaps throughout this
country and Europe.
On Friday morning of last week the
Hamburg-Americ Line steamer Cimbrla
was run into and sunk, duringa fog, in the
North Sea, and four hundred and fifteen
persons were drowned.
On the same day brig ran into steam
er off Fishers Island, and sunk herself,
with all on board, except one sailor.
On Saturday the French steamship Pi-
cardie was abandoned off the coast of France
and sunk, her passengers and crew having
been rescued by the steamer Labrador.
Last Friday three terrific explosions took
place in gunpowder mandatory at Mui-
den, Holland, killing twelve persons and
unroofng every building in the town.
Neighboring towns and buildings were much
damaged, and windows in the eastern sub
urbs of Amsterdam, eight miles distant,
were broken.
On Sunday seven explosions occurred in
seven buildings of the Giant Powder Works,
near West Berkley, California, doing much
damage and killing thirty Cinnamon and
several white men.
Six sixty-ton engines were wrecked In
snow bank in New Mexico last Friday, and
several persons were injured. One engine
cot stuck in snow bank, and another 60
ing to the rescue ran into the first. Two
more ran into these and still two others ran
into them, making six piled up together In
one mass of destruction A binding snow
storm was prevailing at the time.
Twenty people were killed and burned
to death and twelve others injured in rail
road accident near Tehaehapi, California,
last Saturday morning. The train was
parted to cut out an engine that had as
sisted in pulling the train up steep grade,
when the brakes gave way, the train run
ming down the grade, gaining speed every
minute. When it was going at the rate
of about mile minute, it jumped the
track at curve, and pitched down an EN-
bankment. The stoves set fire to the cars,
and many that were not killed outright
were caught in the debris and roasted alive
A wood-pulp boiler at the Marley paper
mills in Cecil county, this state, exploded
on Monday, killing two men and throwing
piece of the boiler through two walls
two feet thick each.
Two men were killed and two wounded
by an explosion in the oil works at Hun
ter's Point, n. Y, on Monday.
A gasometer exploded at Glasgow, Scot
land, on Sunday, injuring eight men, and
doing damage to the extent of $4,000.
Added to these, extreme cold has caused
much suffering in the North and West,
and floods in Virginia and North Carolina,
occasioned by continued rains, have caused
much destruction of property there, while
there seems to have been an epidemic of
suicides throughout the country.

Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lilly, has an
ardent admirer in New York millionaire
named Gebhard who has brought himself
and the object of his admiration into noto-
riety by his attentions. The newspapers
have Improperly meddIed with the affair,
Gebhard published card about two weeks
ago, deprecating the notoriety given him
and Mrs. Langtry, but that only increased
the curiosity of the society gossips and the
sensational papers have been feeding the
gossips. Cunningham, of St. Louis pa
per, so far exceeded bounds, according to
Mr.. Gebhard's ideas of propriety, he at
tackled Cunningham with his tongue, and
Cunningham challenged him to combat with
regulation pistols. Gebhard declined the
challenge, preferring to be living and ac-
cepted lover than dead hero, whereupon
Cunningham posted him as a coward.

Queensland, that large three masted schoon-
er was lost at the mouth of the Fly river, New
Guinea. The crew, II in number, were kill
ed by savages, their heads being cut off and
distributed among the native villages. Capt
Pennafeather, of the schooner Pearl, made a
search but found only lot of wreckage with
nothing to identify the vessel. One old
woman confessed that the crew had been MUIR

Early on Tuesday morning a mob of masked
men attempted to enter the Jail at Shawnee
town, III, to lynch the colored murderer
Holmes. Repulsed in their first attempt by
the sheriff and his deputies, the mob brought
a cannon in front of the Jail and threatened
to batter down the walls, but shots from the
jail, the ringing of the court house bell and
the gathering of citizens scared them away.

Postmaster Nebinger, Of Steelton, Pa,
pleads in extenuation of shortage of $1,000
in his accounts that the principal part of it
was used in the late election. This eNpla-
nation would have been sufficient during
Grants time, under Hayes, Garfield or UNI
der Arthur up to last fall, but since the
revolution at the last election such excuses
for theft of the public funds will not suffice.
