ably the most horrible scene in the annals
OF crime in this section. was discovered
about noon to- day in this city. DR.. Martin
White, an Irish practicing physician here
for number of years, has been known to
have spells of ungOvernable temper, during
which he was abusive 10 his wife and chill
dren, and Of late he has been observed to
act little strangely. None of the neigh
0ors remember to have seen any of the
family since Sunday night, when Mrs.
White attended the First Presbyterian
church here. About noon to-day, Mrs. Miles
Starkey, tenant of Whites living next
door, went TO pay the rent, but finding
the doors locked looked into the window
and beheld blood on the carpet. Sharkey
and the neighbOrS then fOrcibly entered the
house and found Mr.. and Mrs White and
their two children with their thrOats cut,
the latter boy and a girl. The boy lay on
the second floor and the girl on a bed, while
the father and mother were on the kitchen
floor below with BUTCHER knife. axe and
razor near by smeared with blood. White
is thought 10 have killed the children while
Mrs. White was at church, and then to
have struck her with her axe on her return

as she had cash on her head and lay with
her outdoor wraps and gloves on and her

A General summary.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The blizzard raging
at present throughout Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Dakota and Minnesota is
declared to be of wider extent and more
fierce in character than has been known be-
fore in years. All the Western trains are
behind time. Many have been showed in
and abandoned. and very little can be
learned concerning item or of the effects of
the storm, owing TO the blowing down of
telegraph poles and wires and the stOppage
of telegraphic communication. The tenn
peratnre throughout Dakota is stated to be
from 20 to 40 below, with a wild blizzard
blowing. A telegram from Fargo says the
thermometer registered 27 below at noon.
Yesterday was described as the toughest
experiences they had in the way of bolster
Gus weather. Bismarck reported a high
wind, with mercury 30 > below zero. A
high wind is prevailing at Sioux City and
the temperature is 20o below. Telegraph
communication with Omaha has been cut
off nearly all day. California telegrams
were being sent by way of st. Paul and the
Northern Pacific, only one wire working.
A telegram from Des Moines, Ia, says the
cold wave continues there with high wind
and drifting snow. All the through trains
west of there are blocked and the branch
roads are showed under. The Chicago &
Burlington trains are stuck fast in the drifts
some fifteen miles south of Des Moines.
The Wabash road south of tcity is badly
drifted Ft. Dodge a. Narrow Gauge roads
have been abandoned. The snowstOrm pre-
vailed throughout Illinois all day, but the
weather has not been very severe so far, but
has been growing colder tonight. All the
roads to Omaha are reported practically

Would Suppress Lotteries.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Senator Wilson
of Iowa to-day reported favOrably from the
committee on pOStOfliceS and post roads the
bill introduced by him to prohibit the mail
ing of newspapers and other publications
containing lottery advertisements. The
report accompanying the bill SAYS that the
several states have acted resOlutely and
with marked unanimity i'm their endeavors
to suppress the malign presence of the lot
tery. Louisiana stands almost alone in the
liberation of the evil, and she has pro-
nOunced against it after 1895. Vermont
and Delaware qualify their prohibition by
allowing such lotteries as may be author
lied by their own laws, while denOuncing
those recognized by the laws of other
states. and it seems to the committee that
this almost unanimous movements of the
states to defend themselves against the
demoraliZing effects OF lotteries ought to be
recognized and promoted by the nation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The second
comptroller of the treasury has decided that
Oliver Hayward, late sergeant Of the Sec
ond United States artillery, is entitled to
the three months extra pay allowed the SOL
diers who served in the Mexican war. The
comptroller holds that the war with Mexico
ended May 80. 1S4S, when ratificatiOns OF
the treaty of GuadalOupe HidalgO were ex-
changed. and not as heretofore held on July
6. 1S4S, the date on which the war depart
ment made official announcement of the
same. Under this ruling all soldiers who
served in that war and were not discharged
until after May so are entitled to the bene-
fits of the acts of July 10, 1s4S, and Feb.
10, 1879.

FIGHTING THE APACHEs.
Gen. Sheridan Points Out the Diff
cuItIes of Suppressing Them.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-Lieut. Gen.
Sheridan, in conversation with represent
atiye OF the Associated Press to-day, re-
marked with reference to his recent official
visit 10 Arizona and the latest news concern
ing the ApacheS:
/ have reason TO believe that Gen. Crooks
operations will result in the destruction of
Geronimo's band and the restoration of quiet
in the region OF Apache depreciation. but the
work cannot be accomplished in a day. Now
that Gen. Crook has fun sway. his tact aud
fearless energy will, j doubt not. bring about
good results. He has all the troops he wants
and they are placed in the most advantageous
positions. Detachments guard all the water
ing places, and patrols and scouting parties
cover the entire area of 1900 square miles,
over which the savages have been operating.
Every route which is practicable To white
men is thus guarded. The failure TO extirpate
the band long ago is due TO the willy operations
OF an enemy so small in numbers that the
methods of actual warfare cannot be en-
plOyed with effect, and To the nature of the
country. The Apache Is a mountain Indian,
bred from childhood TO peak climbing, and 10
making long desert journeys afoOt. with little
water, little or no clothiug and no other food
than roots and berries. When on the war
path he carries no rations. Encountered only
with his gun and ammunition, he
PROCEEDS BY TRAILS
n.
those who are only habituated TO the con-
ditions OF ordinary military experience. and
in such paths he often travels "A distance OF
sixty miles day. IL is only in recent years
that the horse has become his auxiliary. and
even now when pressed he kills the animal
and seeks his own safety in his familiar fast
ness. Apache outbreaks are rarely TO be an
ucipated or fOretOld. When band becomes
hostile IL manages TO get away six or eight
hours before any knowledge OF its purpose
can become known TO the troops. IL murders
isolated settlers and prOspectOrs, and attacks
and plumbers ranches To obtain provisions
Its course is almost always toward the Mexi-
can border. across which an asylum has so
often been found. IL such a band is headed
OF and overtaken by the troops il does not
give battle, but its members scatter 10 the
hills each for himself and reunite AT some
designated spot hundred miles away. The
troops and the Indian traiers who accompany
them are rarely able to do more in such cases
than pick up few women and children.
When visited Gen. Crook five or six weeks
ago eleven warriors had been killed and
thirty-one women and children captured
Twenty warriors and all the remaining women
ana children were in Mexico and only ten
warriors were north of the border. These ten
have committed all the recent murders.
