There is more catarrh in this section

pronounced 1t incurable. Science has proven

New HAVEN, Conn, March l5-The great
snow-storm severed all connections between
Connecticut and the metropolis for forty
eight hours. Not Il train is moving on any
railroad throughout the state, and telegraph
connection between this city and the outside

In New Haven there were reported up to
10 o'clock Wednesday morning seven deaths
from exposure They occurred principally
on tho outlying streets of the city, and the
victims were all working people. Three girls
employed in the Candee Rubber company

street, They left the Candee shop during the
heaviest part of the storm, and their bodies
were found late Tuesday night and taken into
a house near by. The Grand avenue precinct

reported missing and it is feared that they
have been frozen to death
There are at least twenty deaths from ex-
poSure reported from surrounding towns.
Some of the towns report that school houses
are still occupied by the children and teach
ers, who are suffering greatly for lack of
food. Hundreds of New Ravens citizens
were overcome by the storm and narrowly
escaped death from exposure. Many New

for forty or fifty hours, and much anxiety
has been felt by their families. At about ?

WASHINGTON CITY, March 15.-Pettions
were presentedin the senate Wednesday from
citizens of Iroquois county, Illinois, asking

the continued taxation of whisky and tobacco
Brown of Georgia made a long speech advo-
eating the adjustment of the internal reve-

The Kansas crank of the Union seems
enamored of the Kansas crank in the
senate, and this morning attem pts to de-
fend the unwarranted and venomous at
tack made upon President Cleveland and
living and dead democratic generals by
Senator Ingalls, from that state. Never
before. be it said to the credit of our
country, did a member of either house Of
the national congress, stOop to such con-
temptible and degraded methods 10 gain
little notoriety as did the senator from
Kansas last week. He not only vllifed
and traduced the living, but poisoned the
sanctity of the grave with his vitupera-
ton. The only palliatIon for his offense
is given in the statement that he was
drunk. But even this is no excuse
Even a drunken man can have the in
stincts Of a gentleman.
AS was TO be naturally expected from
his blatant and scurrilous talk, ingalls,
took no active part in the war of the res
bcllion. His record shows that the posi-
tion he occupied in the union army was
judge advocate to the Kansas militia.
As Senator Blackburn very aptly stated,
while Black was bleeding on Kansas
soil, while Mcclellan was commanding
the armies of the Potomac, whilst Han
cock was weltering in his blood upon
Cemetery Heights at Gettysburg, the sem
ator from Kansas, away behind in the
rear of the army, was prosecuting Kansas
jayhawkcrs for robblng hen roosts!'
ingalls, speech was TRADE of abuse
and lies from beginning to end, and
we are surprised that even such wild
eyed crank as the Kansas yahoo of the
Union should endorse his utterances.
He was repudated by the Royal Legion
as a man unworthy to become member,
and wisely withdrew his application for
membership INTO that order. In regard
to booming his presidential aspirations,
Ingalls, has demeaned and stultifed himN
self in the eyes of all right minded peo-
ule

The Real Cause.

Our republican exchanges have been
busy for some months constructing aCros-
tics or lines in which the letters of Mr.
Blaines name are made to appear in unN
expected places and in impossible connec
tions. 1t is thought that these acrostics
were all sent to Blaine and that they
disturbed the visions of the night as he
lay counting sleep. Indeed, his letter OF
withdrawal may be traced to such cons
junction of the alphabet as occurs in the
following acrostic:
Judge Gresham Decisions,
Allison's Reform Speeches,
Mullgans Letters,
Edmund's Indifference,
Solid South,
Growers Popularity,
Burchard's BrillianCy,
Little Rock Bonds,
Agricultural Opposition,
Independent Republicans,
New York Vote.
Exhausted Magnetism.
Confronted by all these elements. it is
not strange that Mr.. Blaine read the
handwriting on the wall as warning of
coming disaster, and at once telegraphed
to Jones to publish his letter of with
drawal Louisville COURIER JOUrHdL.

COLUMBUS, o., March 15.-Judge Allen G.
Thurman concluded his argument for the
state in the tally-sheet forgery case Wednes-
day morning, the court room being crowded
with people eager to hear him close his ad

pied peculiar position in this case, all the

his former political colleagues. His first
words in the beginning of the trial, when he
explained to the jury what the state expect
ed to prove, referred to this fact, He then
said: Il should be ashamed to call myself
a Democrat, as You all know | am, if let
my politics shield crime like this" His
closing words Wednesday were:
But do honor this party to which have be
longed more than sixty yearS-for began when I

A BRlTlSHER's COTTON CLAIM.


WASHINGTON CITY, March 15.-There was
brief discussion in the house Wednesday
over a claim for the loss Of n quantity of cot
ton during the war The claim is for the
value of some purchased in Mobile by Eman-
uel Jones, a British subject, with Confederate
money. In April, 1865, the Federal army
took possessession of Mobile, and guard
having been placed around the warehouse in
which the cotton was stored, Jones was de
MED admission thereto. In August following
the warehouse was burned down and the cot
ton destroyed. Hooker of Mississippi and
Herbert of Alabama advocated the measur
as one of common justice.
Hopkins Of Illinois opposed the bill and
stated that he would rather pay the claim of
a brave Confederate soldier than that of a
Shylock who took advantage Of the misfor-
tunes of the people among whom he lived.
Bland of Missouri thought that the proper
way was for the claimant to appeal to the
British government, which would bring the
matter to the attention of the state depart
ment if there was any equity i'll it.
Allen of Mississippi inquired whether Jones
aided either side during the rebellion Hooker
replied that he did not.
"Then," said Allen, "that settles the bill

General Dickinson has issued an order to
pustmasters in this country to rate up postage
on all packages from Canada which bear the
appearance of containing goods that have
been sent to Canada by American dealers
and from thence mailed TO parties in the
United States. The significance Of the order
is that certain dealers in seeds, etc, in this
country have been sending their goods TO
Canada aud mailing them from there to tine
United States, thus obtaining much lower
rates of postage than if they had mailed them
direct. The postmaster general says this is
an abuse OF the postal laws.

actress of st. Louis, and mistress of Fenton
Cox, arrived here on IA train early Wednes-
day morning, expecting to meet Cox at the
station She was met instead by Fentons
father, DR. George NJ. Cox, the United States
pension examiner for this district. The
physician forced her into carriage and after
they had driven a short distance he struck
her in the face with a bottle of carbolic acid.
The glass was shivered and the concentrated
acid ran over her face and bosom. 1t pene-
trated the wounds made by the glass and
burned both her eyes SO badly that she will
lose her sight. The girl was finally rescued
by an officer and taken to a hotel where she
lies In a critical condition DIR. Cox was ar
rested and released on 5000 bail Only the
sending out of false reports as to the girls
condition saved Cox from the hands of mob.
He is evidently insane, made so by the CON

that they are backed by the presence of the
