STILL AHEAD.

The report Of the postoffice department
showing the income in revenues in the
leading postofiices Of the country for the
last six months puts 81. Paul ahead of any
city in the United States. While the I'M
crease in Chicago was only little over 10
per cent, in st. Paul it was IS1z per cent.
New York shows an increase of only one
third of st. Paurs showing, while Phila-
delpha, st. Louis, San Francisco and New
Orleans are still less. Boston and Mil
waukee are about one-half, while Cincin-
natl and Minneapolis came within about
two-thirds of ST. Paurs increase. The
postOflice revenues are regarded as a safe
index to the business status of city, and
accordingly st. Paul is Outstripping all
American cities in business prosperity.

THE GREATNESS OF TT.

1t was a great demonstration. The sue
cess of the st. Paul ice carnival is now as
sured beyond all reasonable doubt. The
tremendous Outpouring of people last night
was the guarantee of its success. 1t is
difficult matter to estimate crowds under
such circumstances, but it is safe to say that
from three-fourths to four-fifths of the en-
tire population of the city was on the streets
last night. From the corner Of Eighth
second division was formed, all along the
entire procession down Robert to Sixth
up TO WabaSha and thence on to
the palace grounds, dense mass of human
ity lined both sides of the street, while the
doors, windows and even the hOusetops in
many places. were filled with spectators.
And when Central Park was reached, it
was found that several thousand people had
preceded the procession and occupied the
grounds and the surrounding heights. The
crowd could not have numbered less than
10000, while many persons estimated it
from 100, 900 to 125, 900. But whatever be
the exact number, we know that it was a
magnificent outpouring and an enthusiastic
introduction to the ice carnival festivities
And what is still more remarkable
IN this connection, is that it was
spontaneous 1t had only been within
the last few days that the carnival asso-
citation determined to have any sort of
ceremony attending the laying of the cor
ner-block, and no special effort had been
made to work it up.
The lesson of last night is that the peo-
pie of st. Paul are thoroughly aroused to
the Importance of the carnival, and are
filled with spirit of enthusiasm. The
work of organizing amusement clubs will
now go forward with renewed vsgor and
zest, and by the time that the formal OPEN
ing occurs we may expect to see from 2, 500
70 5000 club members in full uniform. Our
people now understand that the carnival

way affect the existing treaty between the
Samoan government and Germany, En-

Threw Open the Throttle.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA most dreadful
accident was narrowly averted by quick
witted engineer this morning. The north
bound express of the New York & Long
Island railroad was filled with prominent
New York business men coming to their
offices. Near Matawan, and just before
reaching trestle bridge 500 feet long, the
cars were derailed by broken frog. The
cars, after propping down on the ties, ran
across the bridge. swapping the steel rails
into bits and tearing the wooden structure
into splinters. The rear coach lost its truck
and was drawn a long distance on its floor
beams. George Clecknor, the engineer,
finding it impossible to stop his engine,
which was tearing along at rate of thirty
miles an hour, saw that the only hope was
to increase the speed. He threw open the
throttle and thus prevented the cars from
topping over the bridge. The cars swayed
from side to side, but they were safely car
ried out of danger. The passengers were
all more or less shaken up, but nobody was
seriously hurt.

The Orange CropLnsr.

MOBILE, Jan. 14.-This has been the
severest spell of weather experienced along
this coast. 1t has continued with very little
moderation since Friday morning Monday
was the coolest day ever recorded here.
The weather is somewhat warmer to-day.
The orange trees in this district are un-
doubtedly frozen, but if sap IS not running
up they will thaw if warm weather comes
gradually. There are about 1000 trees
here, valued, when in full bearing, at $40
to $50 each, and producing annually crop
worth from So, 200 to IS, 900. The crop for
tins year is lost. Whether the trees are
dead or not cannot be ascertained until
spring. 1t is probable, however, that the
greater number have been killed. There
have been frozen and killed cabbages
which, if they had matured, could have
sold for 500, 900. Most of the farmers
have reserve of plants and expect 10 make
a crop, somewhat late, but as large as
usual

a CITY WITHOUT WATER.
The supply Of Cleveland Entirely
Shut Off by Ice.


CLEVELAND. Jan. 14.-The two big
pumps which were kept at work at inter-
walls during the afternoon were shut down
this evening, the supply of water having
been cut off entirely. The cause of stop
page, as given by water-works officials, is
that the standpipe which leads into
the tunnel out at the crib, and not the tun-
mel itself. chOked with ice. The top of
this standpipe is several feet below the sur
face OF the lake and covered with grating 10

distractions. The fine ice is, however,
sucked through the grating and has been
solidly packed in the pipe by force of the
water. Five men have been at work all day
trying TO diSlodge the obstruction, but thus
far without avail. The task Is a difficult
one for the reason that ii requires the ser
vices Of driver. There is but a small
amount Of water in the reservoir. and the
supply practically exhausted. The West
and South sides are without water, and
this is the case with the East side. except
on streets along the direct mains from the
reservoirs People who have wells are US
ing the water therefrom, and those
who are fortunate enough TO possess
cistem drink rain water. Others are
compelled to melt snow. Manufacturing
establishments that depended on city water
for their boilers shut down, and tonight
water is being hauled from the river and
lake to supply establishments that must
run at night. The city is in perilous po-
sition. Should fire break out
in the business part of the city
the department could do nothing
with it. 1t could get no other, and the
only apparatus that could be called into serv-

gines. At IL O'Clock tonight the water
works officials have given up all hope of
removing the ice from standpipe before to-
morrow. The pipe is ninety feet in height
and nine feet i'm diameter. and is pack full
of ice. 1t may be necessary to wait until
the weather becomes warmer and the ice
thaws, for 1t seems almost impossible to
remove the obstruction by any mechanical

Large Cigarmakers, s,r,ke.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-At the order of
the Cigarmakers' International union 500
men went out on strike to-day in the
factory of Levy Bros. The trouble that
led to this action was the adoption of what
the Cigar Manufacturers association con-
siders to be uniform rate of prices and
with which the employees in the factories
controlled by the association are dissatisfied
The union ordered Levy Bros employees to
strike ss a test case, because, if one manu-
facturer yields, the others will do likewise.

morrow morning conference will be held

fected 1t is anticipated that all the shops

General Strike of Coopers.
Special to the Globe.


CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Last week there
was general strike Of the cOopers all over
the city, which has not yet been satisfac-
torily settled, although it is rumored that
the employers will accede to the mems
terms and the latter resume work to-mor-
row. The cause Of the strike was a gen
eral reduction of the mems wages. The
scale or charges laid down by the CoOpers
union includes the item 80 cents for each
barrel. Last week, however the employ
ers, who had been paving this price, re-
solved to make a unanimous reduction of ;
cents on the barrel. The result was that 700
cOopers laid down their tools. and during the
past week there have been only seventeen
men at work in the cooper shops of the en-
tire city. So complete is the organization
of cOopers that the greatest number of men
remaining at work in any shop after the
strike did not exceed six, while as gen
eral rule not more than two men remained
at work. The price paid before the fOrma-
ton of the union was Is cents per barrel.
