The storm.


Toledo, Ohio, 3.-The storm of
rain and sleeT which set in at an
early hour this morning continued
throughout the day and up to late
hour last night, with no signs of
abating. The wires were heavily
coated with ice, and in many diTec-
tions Frustrated. Communication
with southern and southwestern
points was severed that with the
east was maintained Ola Detroit
and Canada. Reports received at
the signal station this afternoon in
dictate the storm is now central in
this locality. Passenger trains on
all roads are much DELAYED. The
ice IN the river remains solid. Fears
are entertained of a repetition of
the food of 81 if the rain should
continue much longer. AS q pre-
csHtionary measure, most of the
movable property has been trans
ferred from the depots and ware
houses along the river front | to
places of safety.
Detroit, 3.-The snow and rain
storm is very heavy throughout
Michigan. Railroads are badly
behind time, and telegraphic com
municatiOn is seriously impeded.
Lincoln, Neb., 3.-The snow storm
is over six inches on the level.
Railroads partially INSTRUCTED, but
the chief delay is in waiting for
eastern connections.
Chicago, 3.-There is little change
in the situation since morning. The
wires east, south, and southeast are
still badly INSTRUCTED. Trains in
every direction are from one to six
hours late, and on many it is not
known when they will arrive

Back from Florida.

Fabius A. Cooley returned from Flori-
da, the Land of Flowers, last Wednesday
night During his stay he saw consider
able of the state and visited many of the
places of interest. He left on our table a
specimen each of the lemons, oranges
and grape fruit raised in the Florida
groves, large and delicious, and freshly
picked from the trees by himself. The
orange hsrvest.is Row under full Roadway,
a matter hard for us to reconcile with our
present rigid wintry condition of things
Some moss, cactuses and sugar-cane he
brought with him are fine samples o. the
great vegetation of Florida. Among his
curiosities are pieces from some of the
ancient buildings in St. Augustine, the
oldest town in the United States. The
material used appears like shells ground
up fine and cemented together Mr.
Cooley is not particularly in love with
Florida as a place 20 make home in.
Twenty acres of good land here he would
prefer to the whole of Florida to make a
living off from. The climate he does not
like; the air not being to his mind the
right kind to breathe. Mr.. Cooley
yearna ed for frost and snow and felt bet
ter when he reached the latitude where
winter was an institution of the country.
For diet he prefers salt pork and pump
kin pies to ali the feasting the orange
groves Of Florida afford. Mr.. Cooley
saw Prof. A. LeBourveau at jacksonville,
who is bookkeeper in wholesale estab-
lishment, W. Kelly and sister of the
Third ward, who had just arrived there,
and Barb Randall, of Hustisford. The
latter is doing splendidlv raising oranges
and calculates on a profit of $4,000 from
his grove next year.
WINTER WHEAT-Since the time the
winter wheat was sown up to the pres
ent the weather has been of the most IA
vorable character. The crop had q
healthy and vigorous growth when cold
weather set in, and the splendid covering
of snow it has had all along this winter is
reassuring to our farmers that when spring
opens will be found to be in a promis-
ing condition.

A. J. Grant and E. Erickson, dry
goods merchants of Palmyra, registered
at the Newhall House the day preceding
the fire and were assigned room in the
fourth story together. About 4:30. NJ.
they were wakened by sense of suffoca

ateIy, dressed themselves, and Mr.. Char t
opened the door and went into the hall
He was driven back by the smoke and
flames but mistook his room and entered
the one adjoining, where Mr.. Erickson
mad remained busily kicking out the
window. Mr.. Erickson called to him to
do the same, then to reach out and
break ii the window beneath them. This
they did, and descended by the window
sill to the third story, where they repeat
ed the same thing until they reached the
dining-room floor where they secured a
table, clsth, formed a rope that reached
nearly to the ground, on which they safe
ly descended, with hands somewhat torn,
hair and eyelashes burned and scorched.
As they touched the ground several bod
les struck near them, having jumped
from windows in the same story from
which they safely descended. Messrs.
Grant and Erickson completed the bust
ness that called them to Milwaukee, and
returned home the following day. They
had narrow escape.

HOsU Mr.. ROaCeW Escaped.

In an interview in Milwaukee on Sat
urday, w. ID. Rowell, of Freeport, Hi
nois, resident here for short time
some % years ago, and well-known to
many of our citizens, related to us his es-
cape from the Newhall house fire as fol-
lows: He had arrived In Milwaukee
from home during the night intending to
take the train next day for Oshkosh, and
registered at the Newhall House He
was assigned to room on the third floor,
across the hall from the elevator, fronting
on Broadway. Hr. Rowell says as he
lay in half wakeful condition he heard
the clock on the Board of Trade Building
strike four and in an instant the sound
of breaking glass fell upon his ear, fol-
lowed by rumbling, confused noise. He
at once made up his mind there was fire
and opened the bedroom door only to see
the flames ascending the elevator in their
wild fury, Before he could shut the door
the fire burst through the glass door of the
elevator and the next moment the heat had
broken the transom over the door of his
room the flames rushing in and his apart
ment filling with smoke. Mr.. R. found
it impossible to get any of his clothing to
put On and at on &C raised the bedroom
window. Getting out upon the window
sill with great deliberation aud GOODNESS
he shut down the window behind him
and to this act alone, perhaps, can be at
tributed his escape, for he thus protected
himself from the flames Seated on the
window-sill, clad with nothing but lis
night shirt, be managed to maintain
himself in his desperate position by
clinglng with his hands to the window
castings, until rescued by ladder that was
raised to him from the portco over the
main entrance. Mr.. Rowell was at once
driven to the residence OF his friend Mr..
Finch, and given a comfortable bed. In
the morning dressed in proper garb he
sailed out to breakfast as good as new.
Mr.. Rowell says that he told the person
occupying the room next to his to do pre-
cisely as he was doing which he did and
was saved All around him, Mr.. Rowell
asserts. people went down to their death
having equally as good chance to save
themselves as he had if they had only
acted with the same GOODNESS, precaution
and consideration that he did. Mr. Row
ell certainly had terrible experience and
his escape from horrible death must be
regarded as most narrow one.
