Entering the depot enclosure yesterday
the reporter found the utmost activity.
Twenty men were at work in various
parts Of the yard. and in various employ
ments. An endless track was being laid
around the site of the building, on which
small flat cars will transport to different
portions Of the yard all necessary mate
rails. The deep trenches were being
rapidly filled up with the foundation
stones, and presented a very solid appear
ance. A large pile of the beautiful red
tone to be used in the facings and trim
mings Of the building was placed at one
end of the yard. No finer stone ever
entered into a buildings composition than
these, nor any capable of adding a more
finished appearance.
Messrs. Van Brunk & Howe, of Boston
and Omaha. the architects of the build
ing, will arrive in the city to night. The
stone from the quarries will be rapidly
placed In the yard. and as soon as a sufh-
cient amount is in place to keep the men
steadily at work, Contractor Akroyd of
Denver will be on the ground and urge
forward the work of a heavy force of stone
cutters. The preliminary work once done,
and the erection of the building fairly
under way, a force Of some seventy men
will be employed.

A BLrzzARD,s VICTIM.
Three Weeks of Helpless and Solitary
Agony.

On yesterday mornings Eastern bound
train was an unfortunate man whose
lower limbs were mere withered contor-
tons; appalling mementes of a Dako-
ia blizzard. This was Mr.. John Forces
ter who came to the northwest from Vir-
ginia in 1880. He engaged in the
freighting business in Dakota and crossed
the high prairies with his teams until the
winter of 1884.
In the November of that year he was
caught in one of the billiards that blow
only in Dakota. He was on high, mar
row divide when the furious mass of ice
and snow, driven by a raging wind, struck
him Being by himsel!he realized that itIwas
imperative to obtain shelter OF SEINE kind.
Accordingly he turned his mules from the
beaten road, and endeavored to gain a
stretch of broken country some half a
mile distant. Fighting his way inch by
inch, he succeeded in reaching a deep
gulch. Here he halte1 and amid the
bowling and cruel stings OF the storm,
made what preparations were possible for
self preservation. |, was then evening.
That night all four of his mules died from
the driven cold and Forester feet were
both frozen.
The next day the storm increased in
fury and when night came Forrester's legs
were both frozen to the knees. His hands
and arms he managed to preserve by
humping against his body. Wrapping
himself in his blankets he passed a second
awful night, and when the dawn came
gray and murky through the hurting ice
bolts, Forester knew that he was frozen
stiff from his feet to his hips, About 10
o'clock that morning the storm abated,
and by four in the afternoon it was almost
over. Dragging himself ia where his
provisions were, the frozen man succeeded
in getting something to eat, the first for
forty hours.
And now began a horrible experience.
Knowing that the only hope of saving his
life was tc draw the frost from his limbs,
Forester succeeded in stripping those
limbs OF their garments, and buried him
self to the hips in a snow drift. He kept
up this treatment for two days, suffering
the most excruciating agony as the frost
left the flesh and bone in which it had so
deeply planted itself. For three long
weeks Forester lived in his horrible stu
alton. Using the woodwork of his wagon
for fuel, he managed to cook enough to
keep the soul in his ruined body. Day
after day the miserable mar dragged
himself on his narrow rounds until the
passage of his helpless limbs wore deep
burrows in the hard soil. To add to the
misery Of his situation the dead mules
began to decay, and an intolcrable stencil
filed the camp. This last affection, how
ever, was the eventual cause of his rescue.
A party of freighters passing along the road
were led by the stencil to make an inves-
t~igation and Forester was found.
He was taken to the settlements and
tenderly cared for, but his limbs were
hopelessly helpless. He is now, after two
years spent IN the vain attempt to benefit
his limbs. on his way to friends and rela-
tives in Baltimore. MI.

The late hail storm which passed west
of Cheyenne, visited Little Horse creek
very heavily. The storm struck the val
ley at 3 p IN, last Saturday, and none of
the settlers ever before saw anything ap.
preaching its fury and destructiveness.
The hail stones were enormous in size, OBJ
long in shape, and came like the flight of
grape shot. Fences were battered down,
vegetation obliteratcd, the iron roofs of
houses pierced, and cattle killed.
In the lower part of the valley the
storm exercised its utmost violence, and
the damage to buildings was great, while
the destruction of crops was complete.
The storm track was very narrow, but it
was cleanly swept. The storm came from
the south, and seems to have increased in
fury as 1t advanced northward.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like p%erspira.ion, producing a
very disagrceablc itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application Of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and ~efecting a. per-
manent cure. Price so cents. Address

A WIDOW ED BRIDE.
An early Parting--A Distant Death
and a sad Journey.
by TUE CURIOUS opsERyEnl.

lBY THE CURIOUS oBsERvERl.
In one OF the Pullman cars of yester-
days west bound train was a lady in deem
mourning. On her youthful and beauti
full features was marked an agonized sor-
row. With her was a sturdy Hibernian.
rough but gentle, and in whose protecting
care could be read a deathless devotion.
The couple were Mrs. Charles Robinson.
of one Of Pennsylvania rural districts.
and Charles Brady her devoted ~scrvitor
and friend. Six months ago this now
grief stricken woman in the widows
weeds was Joined in happy wedlock before
the altar of the old familiar country
church 10 Charles Robinson, the compan-
ion of her youth, and the hero OF her
love. A month of happiness followed,
and then the husband was called by an
offer promising an early fortune, to the
new fields of far off Alaska. With a
heart divided by fond regrets, and bright
hopes, he departed to make a home for
his bride in the distant land of promise.
lie was accompanied by Charles Brady, a
young lrishman who hal long been his
friend and follower. Scarcely had he been
in Alaska a month when his adventurous
spirit prompted him to join a party on an
exploring expedition up the great Yukon
river. In some dangerous rapids, a boat
was upset, and the young husband was
drowned. At the imminent risk of his
own life, Brady strove in vain to recover
the body Of his friend and employer.
Fastening back the faithful fellow bore in
person the awful tidings to the widowed
bride. This first violence OF her grief had
not passed when there came a telegram
that the body OF the lost husband had
been recovered, and buried in Alaska soil.
Accompanied by the faithful Brady, the
widow is now on her way to look upon the
grave of him who parted from her in all
the exuberancc of life, love, and hope,
and perchance to bring back the dear re-
mains to repose amid the scenes which
witnessed their mutual love

The Railroad Across the Caucasus.
The railroad across the Caucasus is a
military one-i. G., constructed primarily
for purposes of troop transportation, etc,
like nearly every railroad in the vast Rus
sian empire, such rs, for instance, the one
now building from the Caspian to fash
kend, a distance of | $50 versts about | 100
niles. The places between Batoum and
Baku, a distance of s27 versts, are few and
far between, and, with the exception OF
Tihis and Elizabetpol, of no great impor-
lance. The scenery between Batoum and
Tifiis Is grand and varied. The railroad
climbs on its way n mountain of 3, 200 feet In
height-the Sougame-and feats of engin-
eering skill are frequent all along the line.
OF course, all this makes this line very ex-
pensive and Improbable, and the govern
ment annually has to put up for the de
hcit. Only one train every twenty-four
hours starts between Batoum and Baku.
The latter town is now sufficiently
known to America us her great rival in
the petroleum line. A whole book on the
town and its wonder has lately been
written by an Englishman, but he confines
himself to the technical points. Baku
has now 81 600 inhabitants, and has grown
to such proportions within the last four
years. 1t is an old town, however, and
the presence of naptha here was known
even in the dimmest antiquity. The
temples for fire worshipers, who used to
come here as to n sort of Mecca from all
parts OF the orient, have been destroyed.
The fire is no longer w~orshiped here, but
the oil is. Baku sent away to Russia and
foreign ports last year no less thar 25.-
10000 pud (the pud equals 10 kilos. or b
pounds and the oil delivered on board,
refined, costs hut II to 20 kopecks Is TO 10
cents the pud.-BaSu Cor, Chicago
