Terrific SnOw.StOrm In the Northwest.
TBy Telegraph 10 the Dispatchl


CHICAGO, February 9.-Reports
from all the western and northwestern
points indicate that the heaviest snow
storm'of the season prevails. AT noon
in this city business of all kinds was
nearly suspended. Snow lies to great
depth on the streets. The Street-cars
drawn by horses are moving only with
great difficulty, and in the freight-yards
of the railway stations freight-handlers
and train employees are engaged in an
attempt to clear the tracks.
Passenger trains only are attempting
to leave. Measurement of the snow
fall has not been possible by reason Of
excessive drifting, but at least six
inches fell between the beginning of the
storm last night and 6 O'Clock this
morning. At Fort Garry last night the
mercury had reached Al below zero,
and at st. Vincent 80 below. This ex-
cessiyely cold wave is moving eastward.
In this city at noon the mercury stood
90 above zero. All trains are late and
some have been abandoned.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL. February Q.
The indianapolis line, Lake Erie and
Middle division of the Illinois Central
have abandoned all trains tonight on
account of the storm.
0TTCMwA. Iowa, February o.
Snow commenced falling at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and has continued
ever since. 1t has drifted badly. Pro-
badly ten inches have fallen on the
level. Trains neither arrive nor depart.
CHICAGO. February 9.-AS thorough
a blockade on the railroads has not been
experienced in Chicago for years. The
roads have been hiring every idle hand
who could be found during the day to
go ont on the lines to shovel snow. The
Burlington. Alton, and st. Paul roads
alone sent out thousand men. Even
under favorable circumstances the man
ayers Of the railroads say they cannot
hope to get back to schedule time be-
fore two or three days. and if the snow
continues to drift it will be week or
more. The loss to the roads in bust
ness and cost of clearing their tracks
will he enormous.

A Texas Tragedy.

COLEMAN, TEXAS, February "a
tragic murder occurred Saturday night
at the ranch Of A. j. Nathans. ten
miles north of here. At about dark a
stranger rode up, and without dis
mounting approached the door and
asked woman to tell Dudley Hender-
son to come out. as he wanted to see
him. As Henderson appeared in the
yard the stranger covered him with his
revolver, and said TO several bystand-
ers. Now. see me kill him. Be
fore any one could move he sent bull
let through IlendersOn's heart. After
Henderson had fallen the stranger fired
four more bullets into his body, any
one of which would have proved fatal.
Bidding Mr.. Nathans good evening. the
stranger rode away. Henderson was
handsome young fellow, who, it is now
learned, had sought this secluded spo.
to hide away from an Infatuated and
wronged husband, who is wealthy
stockman residing some fifty miles from
Coleman. The sheriff is in pursuit Of
the murderer.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, February o.
There is intense excitement in this city
and Brentwood, ten miles from here,
over the assassination Of James Carter,
an old farmer, by the Sawyer brothers
near Brentwood Saturday. A lady
who saw the shooting says "0bediah
Sawyer and his two brothers were hid
den in a thicket opposite Gennett's
blacksmith-shop, on the Hillsboro'
turnpike, when old man Carter drove
up in his wagon. Carter heard noise
in the bushes and turned toward the
thicket. He saw guns pointed at him,
and threw up his right hand before his
face. Two loads Of buckshot entered
his hand and face. The old man fell
back in the wagon and expired" A
vendetta exists between the Sawyer and
Carter families.

Turkish Squadron Ordered to Sea.
nnl lilo 70 tho niar.afcl

CONsTANTINOPLE, February o.
Orders have been issued to put the
Turkish fleet in readiness for duty at
sea within a month. The impression
prevails that the feet will go to the Red
sea. and that the order has been made
because Of the recent movements of
Italian ships in the Red sea. The
Turkish fleet has been lying practically
idle in the Golden Horn ever since the
Turko-Russian war. 1t is asserted that
the machinery of most Of the ships has
not been set in motion nor cleaned for
at least five years.

to kill him. The Mshdi had no interest
In wishing the death Of General Cor
don, but. on the contrary, would do all
m his power to prevent such an occur
renee. Instant action on the part Of
England, he said, is necessary to pre-
vent the further progress Of the Mahdi's
cause and avert new disasters. The
abandonment Of the Soudan by Eng
land under present circumstances would
be a grave mistake. The tribes hitherto
friendly to Great Britain would now
join tie Mahdi. and if England does not
take immediate steps to crush him his
influence may seriously threaten the
stability Of tie British empire in India.

RALEIGH, n. c., February 9.-The
Grand Lodge of Knights of PythiaS of
North Carolina meets here tomorrow.
The attendance will be large. The
order is gaining strength in this State.
The Legislature transacted little bust
ness of special importance to-day. The
most important measure was the bill
looking to the heating of the Capitol
building, which, by reason of damp
ness, has proved death-trap to many
members. The bill will probably pass.
The SuperioR Court began here to-
day with four capital cases on the
docket. The Superior Court of Iredell
county began to-day with two capital
cases on the docket.
A curious fire occurred yesterday at
Winston. All the woodwork of an
engine belonging to the Richmond and
Dsnyille railroad, on the Salem branch
of that road, caught fire and was
burned. The origin of the fire is
mystery.
In the northeastern part ofthis county
disease which is supposed to be measles
sndpneumonia is reported as raging. and
is proving very fatal, so much so as to
cause somewhat Of a panic among the
people.
Returns received by the State De-
partment Of Agriculture from various
sections of this State are to the effect
that wheat and oats generally look
well that despite the drought last
autumn a good breadth of each was
sown. Farmers are remarkably hope
full, and are making special preparations
for corn, rice, cotton, and tobacco
crops.

the bill went over, and the unfinished
business vas laid before the Senate, be-
Ing the anti-silvcr-coinsge bill.
Mr.. Beck proceeded to address the
Senate. He said he would endeavor to
show why the sections providing for the
retirement Of tradc-dollars should pass
and why the provision orstAe stopping
Of the coinage Of the standard dollar
should be stricken out.
Mr.. Morgan presented the credentials
of the reelection Of Senator Pugh, Of
Alabama. They were read and filed.
The pension appropriation bill was
taken up. A long discussion ensued
regarding the Interpretation Of the SEN
ate rule forbidding the proposing Of
general legislation on appropriation
bills. A discussion arose on point of
order raised by Mr.. ingalls, on an
amendment proposed by the Senate
Appropriation Committee to this bill.
The point Of order was that under the
rules Of the Senate the proposed amend
ment was not in order. The amend
ment proposed was to modify the pro-
vision Of the House bill that established
in favor Of pension applicants the pre-
sumption Of soundness at the time Of
enlistment. The modification would
establish the presumption in favor Of
those only who had served at least
three months.
The presiding officer (Mr. Plat in
the chair held Mr.. Ingalls's point Of
order we'll taken, and therefore that the
Senate committees proposed amend
ment was not admissible.
Mr.. Ingalls,, for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning the opinion Of the Senate as the
spirit Of the rule, appealed from the de-
cision of the Chair. The action pro-
posed by the Senate, he said, was not
the proposing Of legislation, but an
amendment Of legislation already pro-
posed by the House.
After further debate the decision Of
the Chair was sustained---yeas, 35

the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad approached bridge across a
small stream it struck broken rail,
tilted along upon the ties till it ran
upon the bridge, which went down

containing from twenty TO twenty
five passengers, and the baggsge-car,
were the first to leave the track. 1t
was at first reported that the engine
and tender had kept the track in safety.
but subsequent reports show that this
was untrue. and that both went down
in the general wreck, the engineer being
killed at his post. Three other persons
were killed and eight injured. The &C

rail, caused by cold weather. The in
