A Coal Famine In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb 16-There is coal famine in
Chicago, owing to the heavy SHOWS of the past
two weeks, which have blockaded the railroads in
all directions The supply of soft coal here has
reached very low ebb. The supply Of hard
coal is ample, but only small portion Of the
quantity of coal consumed in Chicago is of that
description. The worst suffering is among the
poor. The county agent has been utterly unable
to meet the demands made upon him yesterday
and to-day The seriousness of the position is
best presented in the following statement, made
by a leading dealer In soft eoal
There has not been for ten years such a
scarcity Of soft coal as at present During the
last ten DAYS there has been virtually no coal re-
ceived in the city, and the accumulations that
were on hand at the commencement of this
blockade are now completely exhausted The
great bulk of the soft coal that comes here custom
arily is used Immediately after arrival, it be-
ing impracticable, In view of the manner in
which soft coal is handled, carry any consider
able stock at one time. Railway consumption
alone takes an immense tonnage of soft coal and
our manufacturing interests all require enormous
quantities. Outside the manufacturing demand,
all our large building blocks are heated by steam,
to produce which soft coal is exclusively used
The railways and manufacturing establishments
and public buildings seldom keep more than one
or two days stock on hand. This storm vista
ton has caused general paralysis in the move
ment of trains, and while there are several
hundred carloads in the city on side tracks,
and arrived during the storm, they are now
showed in and cannot probably be moved for
several DAYS. These cars are not approachable
by teams, and consequently so far as delivery
is concerned, might as we'll be in pennsylvania

milwaukee Police Chief Resigned.

MILwAUKEE, Feb. l6.-Chief of Police Ellis
worth to day rendered his resignation, which
was accepted by Mayor Wallber The resigna-
ton is the result of a recent investigation into
certain transactions of Ellsworth and his men
regarding acceptance of rewards which were not
warranted. Ellsworth will retire as soon as his
successor is named. which will be within a short
time Jannsen is mentioned as his possible sue
cessor.
LATER Late this afternoon Mayor Wallber
submitted to the City Council the name of +. j.
Ries, as successor to Chief of Police Ellsworth,
and the nomination was confirmed. Ries as
sumes the duties of the Office in the morning
He resigns the inspectorship of the Milwaukee

The Black Watch Reeiment.

The famous "Fortysecond Highlanders" (fa-
milarly known in the British army as the Black
Watch) have added one more to their countless
exploits, by the storming of the Arab intrench-
ments at Brit, where poor General Earle was
killed. Among the many deeds of daring per-
formed by them in recent wars, three stand out
preeminent They were one of the three High
land regiments with which Sir Colin Campbell
(afterward Lord Cyde) broke the Russian CEN
ter at the Alma, on the Goth of September, 1854.
They formed part of the immortal thin red line
topped with steel' against which an overwhelm-
ing Russian force shattered itself in the mem
orable attack upon Balaklava, FIVE weeks later
In the advance upon Coomassie, during General
Wolseley's Ashantee campaign, in January,
1884. the BLACK Watch" bore the brunt of the
great fight at Amoaful suffering severe loss in
carrying, at the point of the bayonet, a thick
wood held by native sharpshooters. Indeed,
everyone must admit that they have fully obeyed
the injunction with which their chief led them
up the Alma hillside: "Now, my men, make me
proud of the Highland Brigade"

EVANGELIST WOODWORTH.
She Is Still Paralyzing the Sinners Of
Blackford County.

HARTFORD Cry, Ind, Feb 16.-The wonder
full revival at this place assumed its maximum
proportions on Saturday night at the opera
hall Over one thousand persons were present,
and hundreds turned away that could not gain
admission Several were in trance, and gen.
eral petition to the heavenly throne by hundreds
rendered the scene most remarkable On Sun
day John Cantwell and Elisha Pearce, both men
of influence and leading attorneys at the bar,
were at the anxious seat Mr.. Cantwell ex-
pressed conversion. Mr. Cantwell's daughter a
Mrs. Moller, was tranced for several hours. 1t
seems the influence of this great evangelist be-
gun its work first upon the lowest stratum of
society. Some of the worst citizens, few of
whom had been incarcerated in Jail for misde-
meanors, were first TO go to the anxious seat and
become recipients of pardon; now all phases OF
society are gradually but surely becoming i'm
pressed in a manner never before experienced
1t is simply contagion that pervades all this
county. No such religious demonstration has
ever been witnessed here. The Methodist Epis-
copal Church still conducts its meeting at the
sanctuary, and the church was crowded last
evening and grand good time was had. The
very atmosphere seems impregEated with a re-
hgous fervor, and Satan's bulwarkS aye threat
ened with final and complete overthrow in our
midst.
Mrs Woodwork expects to visit Cincinnati
when her work here ceases, which will probably
be next Sunday.

the government force is triumphant everywhere,
and that the popularity of DR.. Numez continues
undiminished. These reports, however are not
confirmed One of the bulletins published most
recently read as follows:
"The rebels are in force at Gambia. Our
forces were to have attacked the rebels on the
9Th, but received orders from the government
not to make an attack until they had been re.
inforced by 5000 men, who were to march from
Bogota'
The commander in chief is Campo Serrano.
Forty five rebels at Velez we're attacked and dis
persed. Rogiero Lopez was defeated at Cucuta
with heavy loss In Ocana the rebels were tri-
umphant, and seized the town, but were subse-
quently defeated by Colonel Antonio Carreno.
Several skirmishes had taken place with General
Hernandez's outposts at Gambia. Later ad-
vices state that Hernandez has abandoned his
camp and gone to Gargoa Six thousand men
are in pursuit On the 5th the government
forces attacked Cucuta, and. after five hours
fight, captured the town. Many were killed on
both sides. This news is unofficial
Everything is quiet on the isthmus but the
populace are disgusted at being captured
and forced into military service. No vessels are
allowed to leave Panama for the Pacific,
ports of the United States of Colombia, and none
are allowed to leave Colon for any Atlantic ports,
except Carthagena This is proof of the close
grip the revolutionists are keeping on all roads
to the interior.
The Star and Herald fails to see any real cause
why vessels of friendly powers should be en-
bargoed.

The thirty minutes debate allowed under the
rules was opened by Mr.. Slocum in behalf of the
bill. This bill, he said, proposed to place Gen
eral Grant in the same position he would have
occupied had he not, in accordance with the will
OF the people of the country, accepted the Office
OF chief magistrate. In form and language this
bill was precisely like all bills passed for pur-
poses of this kind. 1t had often been said that
much had been done for General Grant,
but nothing had been done for him by
the United States government beyond paying
him the salaries to which he was entitled by law.
1t was true that patriotic citizens had contrib
uted to his support. 1t had been the custom of
the English government, from time immemorial,
to honor with high Offices her military heroes,
and while he did not commend to our country
the example set by England, he did not think,

PARIS, Feb. l6-During the funeral process
sion of Jules Wales, the wellknown Socialistic
journalist, large number of Frenchmen at
tackled the German Socialists in the procession,
and destroyed the wreath of the latter. The
attack was brought on by the fact that the Ger
mans carried a German fag conspicuously
hoisted Immediately in the wake of the coffin.
This provoked the French in the streets, who
shouted "Down with the German flag" and
the opposition soon extended to the Frenchmen
in the procession. When the flag was not low
cred, in answer to these shouts, it was stoned.
Then free fight occurred between the support
ers of the German banner and the Frenchmen.
