IN A SNOW DRIFT.
The Passengers Kept Warm and Well Fed,
and Confident of Getting Out Soon.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. Sit has been showing
out this way lately. If any one doubts it let
him ask the officers of the Oregon Railway &
that will make him think that he has been
struck by an avalanche.
On Dec. l6 a passenger train left here over
that road. 1t has got as far east as Boonville,
about forty miles. 1t has been there packed in
the snow for eighteen days. Doubts are ex-
pressed whether the train will get out from the
thirty-foot drifts before spring, for at present
the company seems to be largely dependent upon
Providence for the clearing of it's buried track.
1T has not the machinery nor have its local off
GERS the experience necessary to fight drifting
snow.
The Northern Pacific officers both east and
west OF the obStructing snow banAs offered the
services of their men and machinery some
time ago to aid in digging out the track, as
they were anxious not to have their own
through traffic interrupted. The offer was de-
clined, but after the O. r.. q N. people had
puttered around in the snow for a while with
out accomplishing much they accepted 1t.
The Northern Pacific forces uncovered the
track for about one hundred miles on the west
end of the road. and from the east to within
about twenty-iv miles of the imprisoned cars.
The other company, however, has failed to keep
the track clear behind the excavators, and in
consequence the Northern Pacific snow-plows
and shovelers are likely to get showed in.
A hundred and fifty men from the Puget
Sound division OF the Northern Pacific are now
at work behind the blockaded train. A hundred
of them shovel and operate the machinery and
the rest cut wood for the engines and for the
open fires that are necessary to protect the men
while they work.
The impression is growing that the O. r. &
N. road will not be open for regular travel
again this winter, unless there is a radical
change in the weather, or the experienced
Eastern men of the Northern Pacific, who are
accustomed to dealing with snow in its worst
shape in Minnesota, Dakota and Montana, get
charge of the work. So far this winter, the
Northern Pacific has not been INSTRUCTED a day.
Fortunately, the number of people on the un-
for tunate train is not large. only about twenty
five. Food has been regularly and abundantly
sent them. Theyshave also been supplied with
fuel cut from the surrounding forests.
The blockade is considered unprecedented in
the history of American railroading. For
eighteen days a great trunk-line has been
blocked, and all direct communication between
Portland and the East shut off. Travellers and
mails now have to go by sea to San Francisco,
a by no means pleasant journey at this season,
and thence east over the Central Pacific.

Infatuated desperate took deliberate aim at the

pierced Bakers heart and he fell forward, dying

made his escape. The killing of Baker has
aroused the neighborhood, and if the murderer
is found he will no doubt be hung or shot with
out any form of trial.

Flood at Grand Rapids.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Jan G. -The ice gorge
in Grand river has not broken, and the water
has steadily risen since last evening. 1t has
now beaten the record of July, 1888, and the

The damage to property has not much increased
during the past twenty four hours, as nearly
everything portable has been removed out of

went to Grand Haven and endeavored to break
a passage up through the jam with a tug, but a
trial showed the plan to be impracticable. The

ture, says:
1T may be safely asserted that the admins
tration of Governor Cleveland for two years
past has more than met the just expectations of
the people, and made a lasting impression on
the annals of the State. 1t has been brilliant in
it's sterling integrity, safe in its true conserva-
tism, faithful in it's adherence to pledges, and
~vigilant in its opposition to corruption. Its
straightforward and business like conduct,
united with unquestioned honesty of purpose,
has won for it and for himself a warm approval
of political friends, the sincere respect
of his opponents, and the answering and un-
selfish support of independent citizens every
where. That he may meet with the same degree
of success in the greater Office to which he has
been called is the earnest wish of all citizens of
this State. and of every lover of good govern
ment"
A large number of people visited the execu-
tive chamber to bid farewell to Governor
Cleveland. The Governor was in a genial and
communicative mood. and talked freely to the
senators, joking and laughing. All afternoon
there was a constant succession of visitors to the
chamber. Ladies appeared to predominant.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 6.-The board of
managers of the American Iron and Steel Asso-
citation held a special meeting. this afternoon, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of ID.
J. Morrell, president Minutes were adopted
bearing cheerful testimony to the active and
intelligent interest of Mr.. MorrelI in all the work
of the association since it's organization, more
than twenty years ago, and especially in that
part Of the work which has related to the policy
of protecting American industries from injuri-
Gus foreign competition. B. F. Jones was then
elected president. James NJ. Swank vice presi
dent, aud George Wyckope secretary.
The following action was taken upon the tariff:
Steel Association avails itself of this opportunity to
express its hearty sympathy with all proper effort that
may be made by our government to increase the sales
of our surplus products in foreign markets. 1t does
not, however. regard as a safe method of extending
our foreign commerce the adoption of the policy OF
negotiating commercial treaties, as that policy would
imperil domestic control of our home market, which
must always continue to be our best market. 1t re.
~spectf0lty suggests that the surest and safest way to
secure an extension. of our foreign commerce is to af.
ford adequate encouragement to American capital, to
establish lines of steamships between our own and
foreign ports, which steamships would carry American
matls and afford all needed facilities for interchange
OF American products for the products of foreigl
countries, without endangering the existence of any
worthy and necessary American industry.

ecutive committee of the association: Percival

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6-The old firm of Henry
Croskey & Co., lumber merchants, which failed
yesterday, with liabilities of $3.50. 900, was always
considered one Of the stanchest on the street,
aud the runner of its embarrassment was hardly
credited. Mr.. Croskey says no creditor will
lose anything. as the assets are fully 800, 900.
The cause of the failure, Mr.. Croskey says, was
acceptance of drafts from the keystone Lum-
Der and Salt Manufacturing Company. These
drafts amounted to 1878. O00. and as the Key
stone company could not supply them with
money. they were forced to let the drafts go to
protest. Mr.. Croskey, said. further, that the
Keystone company was good for the amount
due. as its property in Michigan was worth
twice that much; the plants of Its works at West
Bay City. where it has salt wells. cost 1890, 900.
and the company owns 49, 900 acres of timber
land. The company is indebted to no one but

Judgment for the amount. Mr.. Croskey does

THE GRAND UNION PIAZZA
WHERE FLIRTATuON8
Saratoga Letter in Hartford Times.

Visitors to Saratoga may be said to
live on the piazza. Morning and evening
concerts by Napier Lothian's Boston
Theatre Orchestra are given on the inner
Grand Union piazza, and hundreds of the
guests prefer to breakfast, dine and sup,
al fresco, on this cool piazza, where thou.
sands daily linger to view the Towering
shrubs and ever-changing fountains, and
where more flirtations are consummated
during the season than anxious mammas
are aware of. Imagine these seventy
three thousand FIVE hundred feet of piazza
populated with well garnished, long
trailed loveliness, adorned with smiles
and crimps. Think of the long pla-
toons of gushing beauties who will march
and countermarch, coquet and conquer
on this most wonderful matrimonial
battle ground. Fancy the endless as
sortment Of banged hair that will disport
to the breeze on this prodigious piazza.
Picture to yourself the scores of pensive
dulcianas who will here display their point
lace and diamonds. Who dare attempt
to compute the infnity of feminine sweet
ness, who, during the summer months,
will simper in these inviting piazza chairs
and seek to win the admiration of Count
Noaccount, while countless mammas
watch with eager eyes the progress of
the Irritation.
Who will carefully estimate the num-
Der of loud swells and distinguished for
eigners who will daily expand on this
grand piazza to the strains of orchestral
music Digni6ed dowagers and million
aire bellies will loll in these arm-chairs,
and Senators, Governors, Generals and
Judges, radiating in dignity and impor-
tance will ditto, ditto. What a vast
array Of beauty, ugliness, whiskers, rouge,
bright eyes and happy faces will this
great piazza present every season during
the months Of July and August? Who
will attempt to estimate the number of
cOnquests to be made on this grand boul-
evard of fashion How many offers will
be made and clinched right here during
this month of August, A. D., lss5-and
how many defeats will be endured on
this half-mile Of Georgia pine floor? Here
will "Rosebud and her "darling hus-
band "critlcise Mr. Muttonhead and Miss
Macaroni, but the general public will
never know how many sighs the sunny
creatures will heave on this bewitching

and give to uppertendom an average of
all that will be accomplished on this levi

"l.OVELY WOMAN

There was probably never time since
the world began when woman ,njoy ed
80 much consideration as at present, even
while clamoring for more. Never were
more employments open to them or better
opportunities for selt-improvement, and
at the same time never was more ,le-
manded of them. 1t is expected to-day
that woman should do whatsoever her
hands find to do as thoroughly as her
brother, that no slipshod work should be
forgiven her on account of her sex or her
lack OF preparation for the task but she
Is not to expect equal compensation,
however; the power of doing equal labor
Is e Ough for the weaker vessel Just now
10 be OF any weight in the world of con-
sequence to anybody but herself, and to
achieve any social success, she must not
only be well bred, but she must be well
read, on intimate terms with the poets,
be acquainted with the shibbOleth of her
day, understand the great composers and
the great masters of almost every art,
and learn the outlines Of great political
situations she must not be ignorant of
the sciences, and she must speak with the
tongues Of men and of angels, and often,
at the same time earn her daily bread, or
supervise her household and run the sew
ing machine. The twelve labors of Her
cules were light IN comparison; his back,
let US hope, was better fitted for his bur-
dens than hers usually is. Dissipating
herself, moreover, in SO many directions,
she acquires little or no concentration at
any given point, and the cry goes up
anent the incompleteness of woman's work
and the superfcialty of her knowledge.
Pm not denying" says Mrs. Poyser,
" that the women are foolish God made
them to match the men ;" and perhaps if
the men did not show 50 plainly that they
preferred foolish women the women
would make haste to be wise; as it is, it
is not quite safe for them TO be as earnest,
as profound, as logical, as intellectual as
they can be, unless they like the cold
shoulder and don't object to being
ignored. They must simulate folly even
if they have none. There are men who
seem to think it a blot on the feminine
character for woman to come before
the public even in the noblest capacity as
author, actor, singer, or doctor; they
would doom her, like the COrean woman,
to have emo name of her own, to be al
ways somebody's daughter, sister, wife,
or mother" They feel that the tendency
Of the age to push her to the fore is a ten
dency toward deterioration. They do not
object in the least to being i'll the front
themselves, without rejecting that what
deteriorates one soal, be it embodied in
man or woman, deteriorates another;
that what is good for man cannot be bad
for his sister.
