this morning the st. Clair sisters, Rose,
aged "a, and Nellie, aged %, both inmates
of a house of i'll repute on Spruce street,
attempted suicide by taking the contents
Of a four ounce bottle of laudanum. Prior
to taking the drug they sat down in their
room and each wrote letters to other in
mates of the house, giving instructions
what to do with their remains after death.
A timely discovery by one of their COM
panions of the house caused A physician
to appear. He applied the usual rene
dies, and up to a late hour this morn
ing the girls were still in Il critical condi-

A Freak of Nature.

SALEM, Ill. Feb. 4.-Judge Kagy has
issued a permit to have three children of
Joshua Huff taken to the institute for the
education of the deaf and dumb at Jack
s%onville. The children are deaf mutes-
one girl. II years old, aud two boys of 10
and 10. The matter is considered a re
markable freak of nature, as neither of
the parents are so affected. The anteced-
ents Of the family as far as can be traced
back show no defect of the kind. There
is also another child of the same family. $
years old, who is also deaf and dumb. The
three older children were taken to Jack
~sonyille this morning.

A Blizzard in New York.

New York, Feb. 4.-The snowstorm
which swept down on the city yesterday
continued with little abatement all night.
1t is a regular western blizzard, and is un-
doubtedly the worst storm New York has
experienced since the winter of the Park
Row FIRE. The streets are being rapidly
filled with snow, and the street cars are
pulled along the buried rails with great
difficulty by double teaming of horses,
What adds to the difficulties of the situa-
ton is the strike upon the Broadway and
Seventh avenue railroad, the Broadway
surface railroad, Sixth avenue railroad and
Fourth avenue railroad. No cars have
left the stables of the several companies
since an early hour this morning. As the
result the cars of the elevated railroads
have been crowded to a dangerous extent
all the morning. Many business men
have been compelled to walk down town
to their Offices.
The difficulty on the Fourth Avenue
railway was adjusted late in the afternoon.
The company agreed to fix the schedule
of trips which will constitute a days
work and the pay for which shall be 81
per day. Stable men, hostlers and
switchers are to work twelve and a quar-
ter hours with . hours for meals. Old
employees will receive S12 per week and the

LONDON, Feb. 4-Gladstonc will to-

voters OF Midlothian, giving the ele-
ments of the policy upon which he asks
his constituency to return him to the COM
mons to the vacancy caused by the fact of
his accepting office. In this the prime
minister will state that the new govern
ment will institute inquiry to the entire
land question in Ireland. and into the
question whether there exists any necessi-
ty for the introduction of any specially
c~oersiye measures in legislation for the
Irish people, but the main policy of the
government address will declare what shall
be done to endeavor to reach the source
and seat Of mischief generally admitted to
exist in that country. The following is
one OF the sentences contained in the add
dress and one which indicates pretty
plainly the outlines OF the Irish policy de-
cided upon by Gladstone Although
the difficulties of the task make it impos-
sIble to anticipate success with confidence,
VIC hall draw comfort from the knowl-
edge that we are engaged in a great work
Of peace"
LONDON, Feb. 4.--Mr. Gladstone has
issued his address to the electors of
Midlothian. In it he says there are three
questions concerning ireland which de-
mand the attention of parliament, the
question of social order, the question of
land reform and the question of self
government. The desire for s~elfgovern-
mcnt, he says, must necessarily be subject
to the law of imperial unity. The govern
ments hope to find a safer ard more cfTec-
tual method han coercion to remedy the
social troubles,
The Daily Nacs intcrprets the mani
festo to mean that Mr.. Gladstone intends
to deal with the Irish questions in the
order in which he has mentioned them.
1t thinks that the scheme will C the
unanimous support OF the Liberals, while
the Conservatives cannot with decency
oppose, and will almost certainly support
the measures for the establishment of
order and the reform of the land law.
The Neos adds that if MIR. Parnell really
has the welfare Of his country at heart,
he will have an opportunity to eyince his
patriotism, but if he obstructs the com
pletion OF Mrs. Gladstone scheme, par
lament will turn a ready ear to the pro-
posal Of coercive measures.
MIR. John Morley's opponent in recent
parliamentary elections at Newcastle is
preparing to contest the seat at the com
ing reelection.
MIR. Chamberlain, in his election ad-
dress, says he hopes to devote his atten-
ton to the land question. lie is willing
to support any just and reasonable pro-
posal To settle the Irish question in accord
anee with the desires of the people, sub
ject to the supremacy Of the crown in Ire
land and the integrity of the empire.
