In this place, when the shock was being felt,
an enormous chasm opened in the earth and

Handling sou Freight.

CHICAGO, March ia meeting Of the
Wabash engineers was held to-day, at which
Receiver McNulta was present. At its con-
cIuslon General McNulta sent the following
telegram to Judge Gresham:
WABAsH SHOPS, Forty-frst Street,
Hon. w. .. Gresham, United States Cir
cult Judge, City.
HE Wabash Is moving all freight and cars
offered by or going to the Chicago, Burling-
ton q Quincy railroad. 1t Is now quite clear
that we Will have no trouble, the engineers
IN meeting Just held. having unanimously
agreed to obey all orders issued by me in the
transaction of business with the Burlington
road. JOHN MoNUITA. Receiver.
The Burlington company received from
the Wabash road before nightfall nine trans
fer cars and, in addition, twenty-five cars
for the lumber districts. The Burling-
ton delivered to the Wabash one
train of transfer freight and the Wabash
hauled ten cars from the lumber district
over the 90" tracks. The Wabash engines
that made these transfers were manned
by the regular engineers. The boycott on
the Burlington through freight can hardly,
however, be said to be lifted. The officers Of
the Rock Island and Northwestern continued
to fatty refnse to interchange freight with
the Burlington. All efforts Of the road 70
resume the usual business with this com
pany seemed futile.

TaE ~ E1FPFROR.
A Merfoan love AYair.

NOGALEs, ARIZ., March 13.-Last night
about 10 o'clock a profound social sensation
was created in this city by the arrest of a
prominent society young man named A.
MurO, who Is connected with the 1Esxican
custom house here, on a charge of enticing
from her home a prominent and widely
known society belle named Esperanza
NOFiega.
The particulars are these: Senorita Esper-
ANA NOriega lives with her aunt Beien
Osuna. Miss Esperanto looked with favor
faVOrite with the Osuna family. Last night
Muro paid a visit to Miss NOriega and about
6 O'Clock they left the young Iady's home,
presumably for a walk. When they failed
to return after an absence of about three
hours, suspicious that all was not right
began to rankle in the Wabchful anut's
breast, and search for the fair young lady
was at once instituted. The gallant young
customs employee was in bed in his room at
South NOgales, Sonora, and was promptly
arrested and locked up. After being locked
up a short time, he was told that he would
be liberated if he would return the
girl. He thereupOn repaired to the same
building in which he rooms, and produced
the young lady, who said, in reply to the
judges question, ''if she had been carried
of by force that 1t was a voluntary act
upon her part.
She was taken in charge by her relatives,
and the local judge this morning appointed
Senior Morales her guardian, but that gen
leman declined to act In that capacity, say
ing that if the young lady wanted to 60
with MurO he nor no one else could prevent
her. The young lady was then turned over
to her aunt. All the parties are highly con-
neCted.

Tudre sresham,s Decislon.

CHICAGO, March "A crisis seems to be
approaching in the engineers strike on the
Burlington road, and before the day is up a
general tie up on all the roads centering into
Chicago may be ordered, or the strike on
the Burlington may be declared OF.
JUDGE GREsHAM's DECISION.
After formal statement of the case, Judge
Gresham delivered the following opinion in
the Wabash case this morning;
although the property of the Wabash
company is in the custody of the court, it is
operated by a receiver as a common carrier.
His rights and duties are those Of a carrier.
He is bound to afford to all railway compa-
MES, whose lines connect with his, equal
facilities for exchange of traffic. 1t is his
duty to receive from and deliver to con-
Meeting roads both loaded and empty
cars. He cannot discriminate against
one sOad by maintaining the pol
icy of non-intercOurse. More need not be
said on this question. AS the receiver he
wisely rescinded his instructions, which dis
eliminated against the petitioner, who has
no purpose or desire to deny to the peti-
toner any Of its local rights, although the
petitioner has accom- lished its chief purpose
in invoking the aid of the court.
1t is urged by its counsel that persons be-
longing to the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, and especially p. M. Arthur, who
is the chief officer of that organization, has
InterfeEed with the receiver and his subor-
dinates In the management of the Wabash
property, and that they shOuld be pun
ished for their illegal and COntumaCious con-
duct. The receiver and his council make
no such complaint. On the contrary
the receiver declares that there
has been no Interference with him. While
afhdaVits submitted in support of the petit
ton show that Mr. Arthur's Geographic
message to the engineers of the Union Pa
ciic Railway company at Omaha not to
handle any cars of the 60" it does not
fairly appear from this that the engineers in
the service Of the receiver received these
orders by telegraph or otherwise
For the present it is sufficient to say that
the court viii protect the property Of the
Wabash in its custody. The employees Of
the receiver cannot be obliged to re-
main in his service against the DOS
session and operation of property In
his custody. LaWleas intsrfersncs
with the receiver and his employees in the
discharge Of their duties, viii not be toler-
ated. 1t is proper to state, however, in JUS
tce to the Wabash engineers, that they do
not mean to assume an attitude of defiance
to the law and that they are now willing to
a5d the receiver IN the lawful and success
ful administration of hE trust The re-
ceiVeF's answer renders 1t unnecessary for
the court to do more than direct the nett
ton to remain on file for further action
should there be occasion for it. -

The Storm.

New YoRK, March ID idnight-The
situation at this hour is less promising.
During the afternoon there were occasional
bits Of sunshine. Toward evening the
clouds grew heavy and snow began
to fall and is still falling. The
railroads entering the city made
no attempt at all towards
resumption of traffic, although some Of the
railroad managers express the hope of be-
ing able to get some trains through to-mOr-
row. If the snow fall continues, however,
which seems probable at this time for any
great length of time, and the blockade is
prolonged for tWenty-fOur or forty-eight
hours, it will bring untold privatiOn and fin
ancial loss. Telegraphic communication with
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington
and points south continues totally cut, eX-
cept over precariOus lines by way of Pitts
burg. The lines to New England points are
utterly Frustrated, and no information is
obtainable from that quarter except the fact
that the storm which ragged here yesterday
has broken over that section with great vio-
lence. Many ferry boats on the Hudson
and East rivers have stopped running, be-
ing unable to get coal for the furnaces.

A Continuous Stream OF People Viewing
the Dead Monarch.
BERLIlg, March ia living wall Of mar
tyrs to loyalty and curiosity patiently waited
to enter the cathedral yesterday. Men
could hardly be distinguished from women
on account OF the thick ooatings of snow
which covered their garments.
The back portion OF the cathedral had
been converted into a slOping platform.
This Is covered With black serge, aud 1s IN
tended for the reception of the floral offer
fngs Of the public. On either side of the
alter stands laurel trees and lofty exotic
plants embedded In mass of flowers in full
blossom, including large camilias and
thousands of snowy blossoms. Palm
conceal the granite columns.
A continuous stream of people passed
over the bridge which has been erected IN
the cathedral and which affords q view Of
the catafalque. No person was allowed to
stop on the bridge. Prince William stood
for an hour experimenting the arrange
ments and giving final orders during which
time fifty stalWart guards corps with tine
helmets bearing silver eagles, all men
picked from the first families In the land,
laid floral wreathes at the feet Of the dead
emperor, and then knelt and reCitsd short
prayers
Prince William ordered that a thick " hite
veil, almost completely COncealing the en-
perOE'B face be removed. This was replaced
after the guards had taken their final look at
the dead. The same thing was afterwards done
when tue cOntingents of Emperor Williams
faYOrits regiments were present on the same
sad GRAND. 1t is supposed that the veil
previous to being put to its present use was
immersed in some kind Of a preserVative
liquor to prevent the color Of the face suffer
ing from contact with the air. This morn
ing only artists, photographers, newspaper
men and court ladies were admitted to the
cathedral.
EMPEROR FREDERICK
passed q good night. He is fairly we'll. He
received a deputation of Berlin aldermen at
CharlOtlenberg palace to-day. The en-
perOr viii not leave CharlOtlenEerg for some

THE NEW EMPEROR.
BERLIN, March 13.-Emperor Frederick,
on arriving at Charlottenburg, refused to
be carried to his apartments in a Sedan
chair. He mounted the stairs two steps at
a time. After a short rest he wrote until
1 a. N. He arose at 8 a. m, received Prince
William, AID breakfasted with the empress
and Children, then transacted business. Bis
marck's oral reports occupied sever
al hours. In the afternoon the emperor

hOarse. The physicians are satisfied with
his condition. The emperor Will take the
oath according to the Russian constitution
in the presence of the uberhOus and Ober-

the latter seized a singietree lying near and
struck him over the head, fracturing bis
skull. LandOn, as soon as the blow had
